If I could go back in time I never would have lived here. I moved out about a year ago now and I still can't think of this place without remembering why I hate apartments. I decided to write a review in hopes of saving someone else the hassle.
Let's start with the positive. These apartments are in a relatively nice area and I always felt safe. However... the price was so high... I think I could have found something better for cheaper if I had taken the time to look around.
My power bill was out of control here. $300-$350 in the summer months?! I spend less now in a 2000 sq ft house than I did in my tiny apartment at San Tierra.
The staff was always relatively friendly. Except towards the end when I was moving out.
They tagged on so many fees. One time they were testing fire extinguishers and I was out of the country. They left a note on the door (which I of course didn't see, not being home and all...) and when they came around to check extinguishers (which they had asked us to leave out front) mine wasnt there. No big deal, right? They could just come knock on the door when I was home and check it out? Well, they did... and charged me $100 for it.
The thing that REALLY upset me was that I was charged $900 (including the amount they took from my pet deposit) for a tear in the carpet where the tile meets the carpet near the front door. A problem I know my downstairs neighbors had as well. I feel like for $900 they could have replaced the carpet in the ENTIRE apartment.
Moral of the story? Don't live here. Seriously.
