GREAT PLACE!
March 14, 2018 - Review from Apartments.comTo start off, it's an amazing location if you're a student. You can walk to UCR in under 10 minutes. The apartments are a gated community and only current residents know the gate codes because they changed the old code once all the new move ins were settled in :). Management has recently provided our community with a patrol service and have given us their number just in case we need to contact them when office hours are close WHICH is amazing because it makes me feel safe. University Crest Staff ...is very friendly and attentive.The staff always tries their best to get every request taken care of as soon as they can. If I put in a request, the same day or the very next it's been taken care of. It's a very calm community even though it's mostly students.Read MoreProperty Manager Responded
December 1, 2025Thanks so much for sharing your experience! It’s wonderful to hear that you’re enjoying the community and feeling supported by the staff and services. We really appreciate you taking the time to leave such a positive review!
Overpriced, especially for Riverside
August 6, 2017 - Review from Apartments.comI lived at University Crest for two years (2015-2017) in a two bedroom apartment with one roommate. We were the first to live in this newly renovated unit. PROS SAFETY Feels very safe and secure (except when the gates are broken). Close to campus police department. PROXIMITY TO CAMPUS Easy to walk to most popular parts of campus. Front Desk Staff - All employees are friendly. CONS FRONT DESK HOURS Posted hours are 9am-5pm Monday through Friday, actual hours are closer to 10am-3pm Monday ...through Thursday. MAIL Mail is collected and sorted by the front desk. Non-USPS delivers to your door, other packages are held at the front desk. Since the front office hours are during a normal working day, it is difficult to get packages. FRONT GATE Car gate completely breaks 2-3 times per year for 2-3 weeks each time. You can always get in and out, but considering you are paying to live in a gated community, I found it unacceptable. Pedestrian gate is broken about 50% of the year. CEILING LEAK The ceiling leaked through a vent from the upstairs unit for 6 weeks. The leak occurred any time the upstairs unit used their heat. We were unable to use our heat because the area sparked when we turned ours on. UC acknowledged the problem, but the pipes are so old that they have to be custom made, and only one manufacturer makes them. The part needed was on backorder and they have “no idea” when they will be made again. The leak was never resolved, it just got warm enough that the upstairs unit no longer needs to use the heat. RAT We had a rat and UC did not care. They put out one mouse trap (too small to catch what was clearly a rat), and did not reply to additional maintenance requests or calls. We had to call our own exterminator ($350 ) who took care of the problem in one afternoon. SHOWER MOLD We had mold in our shower coming from the bathroom above our unit. It took maintenance 4 weeks to come by, and when they just painted over it. Mold grew back within the week. It took daily calls and visits to the front desk to have the problem fully addressed, nearly 2 months after the initial maintenance request. I had enough time to send the mold to lab for testing before the complex addressed the problem. TOWING My car has been towed from a parking place assigned to me twice. The towing company comes by every night and tows any car without a permit. Hope your permit never falls down, it’s $300 to get your car back!Read MoreProperty Manager Responded
December 1, 2025hank you for taking the time to share your detailed experience. We’re truly sorry to hear about the challenges you faced during your stay. Since then, we have brought in new management, expanded our maintenance team, and made significant improvements throughout the community. We’ve also updated and stabilized our office hours to ensure better communication and accessibility for residents.
DO NOT LIVE HERE
March 21, 2017 - Review from Apartments.comThis is the worst place to live you could possibly choose. If you can think of it, this place has it: ants, roaches, gnats, mosquitoes, horrible neighbors, crime (my front door got kicked in!), uncaring managers, everything. I'll try to say what happened in chronological order. First: When I signed up this place was well kept, pretty pond with fish and turtles, but halfway through my year contract they let it dry up and become a swamp. Soon after I was killing gnats and mosquitoes in my ...apartment daily. Second: Upstairs neighbors begin throwing organic waste in my porch area. They threw raw eggs, various vegetables, a melon, and crumbled sushi sea weed everywhere. I had no choice but to clean it up since I have a dog, and she would try to eat it all. Third: This place also is extremely slow with maintenance, and they do the bare minimum to fix whatever is broken. The security gate is near the entrance of my apartment, and was broken. It had been broken wide open for about 5 days. While I was in the living room with my girlfriend and dog, some dudes, probably in their teens, kicked my door in. Once they realized we were home they ran off. Say goodbye to your peace of mind. Fourth: Put in a maintenance request about my fire alarm beeping periodically all day, they say they "fixed" it while I wasn't home. It was still beeping, so I take it off the wall to fix it myself, and ANTS EVERYWHERE. They poured out of the wall, like literally hundreds. Thank god I had Raid spray. Absolutely disgusting. Oh that reminds me of the time that I saw some cockroaches on my stove... Anyways, DO NOT LIVE HERE!Read MoreProperty Manager Responded
December 11, 2025Thank you for your feedback, and we’re very sorry to hear about the experience you had back in 2017. That time period was challenging as the property was still undergoing major changes and upgrades following our 2014 acquisition. Since then, we’ve made significant improvements across the community, including fully renovated units, updated amenities, upgraded pest control services, and enhanced security measures. We also now have new management and maintenance teams in place, focused on providing responsive service and a better living environment. While we can’t change your past experience, we truly appreciate your review; it helped guide the improvements we’ve made since. We wish you all the best.
Not the best place
December 25, 2016 - Review from Apartments.comPrior to moving in, they did fool me with the scenery of pretty pictures, and the low price of $340 thinking that's what I was going to be paying for my room, not per bed. The apartments renovations are cheaply done, the walls are supper thin and you can never get any privacy with noise. Whether its outside or the room next door, no matter how low the noise may be, you hear EVERYTHING that goes on around you. It was also annoying how almost every weekend, the water had to be shut off for whatever ...reason. I would think that after the 5th time of my water being shut of that the issue with the pipes would be fixed, but no. Their website also promises your kitchen to have new appliances but that wasn't so. The leasing office didn't seem that nice or helpful when it came to me asking questions about my lease or needing a service to be done. Before coming and moving here to UCR, if I would have known the low and cheap quality of this place, I would have looked elsewhere.Read MoreProperty Manager Responded
December 11, 2025Thank you for sharing your experience, and we’re sorry to hear your time here in 2016 didn’t meet expectations. When you moved in, we were still early in our renovation process following our 2014 acquisition, and we understand how issues like noise, water shut-offs, and miscommunications impacted your stay. Since then, we’ve fully renovated all units, upgraded appliances, and brought in new management and maintenance teams dedicated to better service and transparency. We appreciate your feedback; it has helped guide many of the improvements we've made over the years. We wish you all the best and thank you again for your honesty.
Great for the area
September 22, 2015 - Review from Apartments.comApartment is a 1 bed 1 bath town home. We live on the second floor so we have nice vaulted ceilings which makes it feel like it is larger than it is. Great lighting and a large patio with storage closet. Our extra holiday decorations and clothes get stored out there for space. Brand new appliances, Internet included. The staff is extremely helpful if there is ever a problem, and it's great being able to pay rent online!! Makes it way easier! It's more expensive than I'm used to, but compared to ...other places it's great! And I can easily walk to campus. Pet friendly and they even host monthly community events for residents.Read MoreProperty Manager Responded
December 11, 2025Thank you for the great review! We’re glad you’re enjoying your townhome, especially the vaulted ceilings, natural light, and extra storage. It’s great to hear our new appliances, including internet and online rent payments, are making things easier for you. We appreciate your kind words about our staff and community events, and we’re happy to have you (and your pet!) as part of the community. Let us know if you ever need anything!
Expensive,loud, and unfriendly
August 11, 2015 - Review from Apartments.comThis place on hand is the worst place to live. Lets start first with the quality of work done inside the new renovated modern living space. Besides it looks like a cheap macco paint job. The workmanship is horrible to say the least. Qith the vinyl planks unevenly cut. To the paint crew who over paints and under paints. The lines in which you can see everywhere. The caulking in the bathroom is non existing. And on which i have put many,many work orders in for all these to get fixed,months later ...not one thing has been fixed. Also it seems the grounds of this place is invested with bugs. From termites to mange. Do they have a monthly service?no. This leads me now to the contruction. Which yes is very early. But my biggest thing is watching these workers at night. They squat On the premises. Meaning getting sleeping bags and staying in any apartment that is not occupied. The windows and doors on these apartments are not even level as the door ate hard to lock. The windows are such a low quality,with no weather stripping they allow all heat,cold,bugs in. And now with the carpet gone you hear your neighbours every move to when they step, to use the restroom. Oh the new kitchen is all basic cheap electric oven, to the cheapest refrigerator. The stainless steel sick, stains and oxidizes. The lights work when they want, and they shut the water off constantly without notice. The staff here was all nice, and will work this place up to sell it,but as soon as your in, they will do nothing for you. The maintenance man or men. Absolutely do nothing. I see them more talking all day thatn do anything, and they live for free.there wull be no dog park, the wifi they say they'll have is only 100megs for the whole place.they wull lie and cheat. It is not worth anything that you would have to pay. And as soon as my lease is up you cant see any other person run faster than me to get out of this place.Read MoreProperty Manager Responded
December 11, 2025Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're truly sorry to hear about your experience, and we appreciate your honesty. When you moved into your unit, we were in the midst of a large-scale renovation project across the entire property. We originally acquired the community in 2014, and the transition from the previous ownership included many infrastructure and quality upgrades that took time to fully implement. We understand how frustrating it must have been to deal with construction, maintenance delays, and overall inconveniences during that period. Since then, we’re happy to share that all of our units have been fully renovated, and the property has undergone a number of significant improvements. We also have a new management and maintenance team in place, and we are committed to providing a better experience for all of our current and future residents. We take issues like the ones you’ve mentioned seriously, and we are always striving to do better. If you're open to it, ...we would appreciate the opportunity to discuss your concerns further or learn more about what we can do to improve. Thank you again for your feedback, and we wish you all the best moving forward.
