Forest Village Apartments

It has been a great place for us to live and we are really THANKFUL to have found it.

places in the future. Despite asking multiple times, the property manager did not give me specific reasons as to why my "credit history" and "rental history" were not enough me to rent a space there. They only cited that they "have a right to deny any application that doesn't meet their screening criteria". I was also ignored for more than 72 business hours after making a request for more information, and had to send a second email asking for clarification again. Not to mention, every email they sent me was riddled with spelling and grammar errors. If this is how they communicate with potential applicants, I shudder to think of how their tenants are treated.

towards the end of summer. Since my schedule was flexible I told her I would wait. I was extremely impressed with the way Darcy listened to my needs and she even took notes so she would remember what I was looking for. Unfortunately, I was just offered a new job and decided to put off moving to Eugene for a few more years. Good news bad news......I got a good job, but will miss moving to beautiful Euegene:-( It's always nice to know that the resident manager is a caring and understanding person. I will most likely be calling Darcy for a place in a few years after I'm ready to semi-retire.

has fresh paint and new, double paned windows, some have new laminate floors and I think all have new carpet, new fixtures, countertops, etc. Functionality is also great, all the appliances, windows, doors, electrical, cable and plumbing are without problems. The units may be a bit on the small side if you have a family but are priced appropriately and you still have the carport with a large storage area. The third area of marketability, location, deals with factors outside the complex. It is near a grocery / strip mall, walking trails and several schools. You may have to drive to go to Target but you gain the peace and quite afforded by living a mile from the city line. My wife and I have rented in San Francisco, Tucson, Phoenix, San Antonio and Indianapolis and this is, by far, the best experience we ever had. When the big ice storm hit in the winter of 2016, the management was able to hire outside help for the clean up (myself included, for about a week, until my back gave out), debris removal containers and an arborist to get the grounds back to normal in a short matter of time. This is not some slum lord complex where things go unfixed and deferred maintenance is the standard...far from it. When we moved out this spring, the management had just planted a large amount of flowers and shrubs that really made the grounds look nice. Forest Village is also non-smoking, which is a great benefit for my wife and I, who quit almost 10 years ago. There are nice places to walk on the grounds, a 24 hour gym, lobby with coffee and the complex is less than a mile from Safeway, the Cascades Raptor Center, Marsh Trail Head and Spencer Butte Trail. I highly recommend Forest Village to anyone thinking of moving or relocating to Oregon without reservation. If you do not enjoy it here, you may not enjoy it anywhere! :)

ESPECIALLY during snow/ice storms. Every morning/sunset I see deers and turkeys, so expect to be woken up occasionally in the spring with a bunch of turkeys getting funky. Their calls never bothered me and I found it kind of relaxing. You can also leave your apt and walk straight up to the top of Spencers butte within 90 mins. I honestly dreaded living in an apartment community, but we had 0 issues with noise or our neighbors. I am from Texas and if you are new to the PNW-- this will definitely be what you hoped for when moving here. We are honestly sad to leave, but we just purchased our first home. Thanks again! -Dan and Amy

caring. I enjoy living here and if your like the people I described above you would too.
