Temecula Gardens I

Be careful with the Fat (white) manager she likes to go in people apartment with out permission, my brother was sleeping and the manager DIDN’T see his car in the parking lot and opened my brothet apt. This fat lady is in everyone’s business. SHE will find any excuse to get in people’s apt. And if she can’t find any excuse she will wait for you to go to work. Someone need to stop this lady. I also saw her opening the neighbor apt. When he left to work of curse she didn’t have permission to get in.

This Place is so disgusting there is no words to explain how awful it is. I lived here for a year and a half and I regret it terribly. Lets just say I now have an immune disorder caused by MOLD exposure. My son now 5 had to be on a breathing machine to get clean air in his lungs while we were living there. I was in the hospital at least 8 times and my son was always sick as well. I constantly complained about the mold, roaches, illegal maintenance, and the constant smokers outside who couldnt move their fat ass 100 ft to go in the parking lot so I can open my damn windows for fresh air. but of course these issues were ignored. This place needs to be torn down. It’s an extremely unhealthy environment. Unless you do drugs and smoke cigarettes ²⁴⁄₇.
I was only able to leave my lease because I threatened to sue them for entering my apartment without permission and the mold they just wanted to throw bleach over. I moved out May 2015. I only pay 300 more for a condo with a garage! 2 bed 2 bath. This place is not a money saver. Unfortunately I will suffer for the rest of my life just for living here the short time I did. FUCK THIS PLACE. DO NOT MOVE HERE.

I would agree, you get what you pay for… not the best in Temecula, but if your looking to squeeze by and save some money, this place isn’t all that bad.
Place was small, old appliances and parking was bad. Some shady residents (I kept to myself and had no problems) but the Police were in the complex at least every other week. Again, if your looking to save money than I’d do it. But at least the management was nice!

I would give this place a 0!!! But we didn’t even move in this bell hole and in so glad we didn’t. They quoted and put it in writing that the deposit was going to be $ 400 on approved credit and the next day they tried to say it was $ 600 and he’s approved for $ 800!!! How the hell does that happen!!! And then they just came up with some bull that now he was approved so they didn’t have to fix their mistake! Don’t ever rent from this place! It’s so shady

I love my apartment. Management is great and really friendly. Brand new carpet and appliances in my apartment. Our dish washer broke and they replaced it ASAP. Pro: near the freeway, near shopping and stores landscape is nice, price is good, decent neighborhood management is great. Con: no pets allowed, only an a/​c unit in bedroom not living room, no heated pool, narrow stairs to upstairs apartment.
My cons are really not good ones, but Ive live here in Temecula for 21 years and this is one of the nice place to live if your first starting on your own.

This place is DISGUSTING!!! Bugs, rats, mold, drugs, and domestic disputes. This place is gross. The security guards harass you. The managers harass you, and yet the complex is against all code inforcement regulations. Do not move in unless you absolutely have to. If they had negative stars they would receive –10 stars

Cheapest rent in town= you get what you pay for.
Sweet move in deals, and its cheap, the place never fills up though… suspicious.
The Good News:
Apparently a lot of people associate this place with drugs, but in the year and a half of living here– I’ve never seen anything or anyone even remotely reminiscent of drug related activities.
There are mostly families here. (smells super good around dinner time), and occasionally a bunch of 18 year old kids who save up some money and try to live together for 3 months before hating each other.
This is affordable housing, appliances work well enough (if you fight for a new ac unit), doesn’t get loud at night, and there is always parking.
Right next to the duck pond :)
Only allowed time warner cable, they pay water/​sewer, you pay electric, always plenty of hot water, decent sized one bedroom, enough storage space
The Bad News:
Luscious green grass that beckons you and your frisbee– Strike 1, it is in the lease that you are not permitted to play on the grass
Beautifully white shower– Strike 2, upon cleaning the shower, I realized that the mold in the grout had been painted over and left for me to deal with. niceeeeeeeeee.
Strike 3–
Bathroom tiles occasionally fall into the wall from rot and mold. They get a quick fix (in other words, half ass). This has happened 3 times to us. Sorry, I try to freaking clean the bathroom and keep causing «problems».
ps– the managements solution to the mold issue is allowing us to move into a different unit, but I’m willing to bet a month’s rent that all the bathrooms have been «maintained» in the same manner.
–also whenever they fix something in the apartment, they want to do it when I’m not home. I give lots of options for them to work with, but its always a hassle and half the time they don’t show up. They do shoddy work and I don’t want strangers hanging out in my apartment (personal preference, nothing against them).
Strike 4–
Things I maturely understand: these are ollllld building with lots of people doing who knows what on the other side of all these walls. By being the cheapest rent in town, it is feasible to say that not everyone respects their surrounds in the same way we might. I am 1000 times the size of the perpetrators.
but at the end of the day:
ICKY, bugs BUGS are icccckkkky
They have sprayed and left bait (all free of charge), but to no avail. They are less in numbers, but they just freak me the fuck out.
I turn on the light before entering the room and look away– I have resorted to tricking myself into seeing nothing.
I vacuum carcasses.
Strike 5 (generous baseball) — inspections
They say: «we need to do quarterly inspections to make sure all of your appliances are working»… but it isn’t in the lease… and they get all sorts of huffy when I INSIST on being present for them. I do not give them permission to enter– ever– and they clearly dislike it.
I think they are checking to see if you have 30 people living there or are running a meth lab– reputable concerns, but why isn’t it in the lease?
Foul Ball– everything is run the old fashioned way with paper, no computers here– so it takes a long time to get anything done (see a copy of lease or even talk to management).
Also, there are crazy inconsistent with the rules. We back into parking spots once is a while for legitimate reasons (huge ladder hanging out of back of truck) and get notices on the window saying we will be fined… but neighbors back in consistently without stupid notes. Responsible smoker lives here, irresponsible smoker lives down stairs, we receive multiple threats of fines for butts left on grounds. They have a security guard, who never responds so I suppose they like to try and blanket fine everyone just to be safe.
CONCLUSION:
If I lived on my own, I would stay here because I’m cheap and would rather spend an extra money on school or beer.
But I don’t
My lovely girlfriend likes a higher standard of living and is willing to pay thusly (score)
Moral of the story, Unilocal ratings say it all: «Meh. I’ve experienced better.» but coming from poverty in San Diego, I have definitely experienced worse.
