", Again, the management treats its tenants with no regard. I have seen some pretty flashy ones out there, I have a Prius though. The management NEVER repaired anything and even lied to us when we moved in when we inquired about central A/C. passing an afternoon in the park is easily done and people are great about noise. Large dumpsters for garbage No refunds for broken or defective washers or dryers. Hazard of living in an old apartment: it doesn't look new. WHAT is the POINT of having a patio right? i talked to the neighbors, complained to the management, and nothing ever got better. Everywhere else I have lived, had the common courtesy to put an awning over the bathroom window to prevent this, apparently common sense has yet to be found at Parkside. Considering the amount of people that complain about break-ins, this is not a wise, nor environmentally wise, practice. 2009-05-11 17:47:15 I have lived here for little less than a year and have not formed a solid opinion of the complex. Sure, if you're trying to get a spot after 11pm you'll probably have to park on the street, but at least there's somewhere reasonably close by. My car also has a crack because of it. The staff has always been friendly, the grounds are well-kept, it's close to bus lines, across the street from the park, and very reasonably priced. DSL is available from SBC, I pay $45 a month for that and local SBC phone service in a three bedroom. THE best and biggest in davis! I am a grad student. Normally I would blame the police for this, but the sad fact of the matter is that so much negative stuff happens around this complex that they probably have grown jaded to calls about another peeping tom, another stolen bike, another party to break up (not because it's rowdy, but because the walls are too thin), another threatening individual stalking someone in the dark alley behind the apartments, etc (which honestly, is usually just some homeless individual who people over-react to). If you're moving into this area of Davis, you're going to hear the trains no matter where you are. You will A) Wake up at 8AM to leaf blowers and lawnmowers B) Wake up at 7AM because the train rattles your windows C) In todays particular case have people trimming tree branches with chain saws and wood chippers directly outside my window. SOME ROOMMATES WERE HOME ASLEEP AT THE TIME BUT DIDN'T HEAR ANYTHING. BrookeB. I have to live another year at this hellhole. Rent is way too expensive for the unit's condition We are a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. I wish I had been so wise. The apartment management knew about this when the first vehicle was stolen months before in front of the property. I left my apartment this morning at 12:00 P.M., and returned only to find that there was a notice on my door (which had to have been placed AFTER I left, at noon) stating that my water was going to be shut-off at 9:00 AM to install a new water heater. I never heard my apartmentmate who shared a wall with me. I never hear the trains, our apartment is a good size for a 3 bedroom, and the management isn't heinous. Rooms are a decent size. That's bad. The ONLY annoyance I have ever had was some retarded undergraduates partying too loudly. The property is bordered by the railroad tracks to the east, the Davis Little League complex to the north, F Street and Community Park to the west, and more apartments to the south. The rent is a bit high but if divided I feel like it is manageable, the apartment complex overall is really nice, new, and well maintained. The lawn/grass/trees are also kept immaculate. The wall is too thin to block any noise, you could hear amost everything your upstair neighbor did, such as talking, walking, play music, vacumm floor (this is a disaster, it seems like a big trunk pass over your head). Other positives: the pool is clean, well groomed outside, and excellent location - near downtown and school. There was evidence of forced entry! . You can pay more for central A/C at Parkside, or pay more for it somewhere else, but for this rent, I dont' think you can get central A/C unless you go into South Davis. recently, they decided to have a pool party with an unneccesary dj on a finals day. However, they failed to increase their tenants awareness and communicate this message effectively. some complexes are better at some of those things than others (cleanliness, spaciousness, price, standard of tenants accepted, etc), but it's still an apartment. If you call the above phone number, it can be answered from Texas (off hours?) The only thing that is bad is parking. One time i parked near a corner of the complex, and my left window got knocked off and left scrapes on my car. Deposit range from $400 to $1000 (April 2017). If you're moving into these apartments, you should have a pretty good idea of what you're getting. On top of the thin walls, the A/C current in this place is extremely weak. throughout the year i lived there the management was helpful enough, but had obviously lost interest in buttering me up now that i had signed a lease. RickL. the complex hired a security patrol car, but the guard just sits in his car in the parking lot AND they are increasing rent prices in the upcoming year. Pool and gym closes at 10PM (why??!) Walking distance to campus & bars So it goes.AaronRosenberg, 2008-01-14 17:32:54 My boyfriend and his friends live in a 3 bedroom apartment. My apartment is super cheap. Copyright. The walls are thin and at the time i had really bad roommates that made a lot of noise. There was an incident of stealing woman's undergarments in the laundry room, where it is supposedly "locked". Management Wise, it's as bad as you can imagine. This apartment is trash. Same applies with Comcast cable jacks. 2009-09-09 08:54:03 After reading through the majority of these messages, it seems like most people living here are too dumb to realize what they're signing up for. Have had two creeps right outside my window within one month. Send me listings and other apartment related information. The pool is immaculate. Or, reduce the cost of rent. I would not recommend this apartment complex to any students owning a vehicle. The unit itself was ok. I like the location and I like that they keep the plants nice. The living room seems to be more efficent to the extent that I can't hear such things. It's a shame that managers who have been here for quite sometime still dont understand their job as well as Kari understand hers. Near winter, we want to turn on the heater, like everything, it's broken. During soccer or baseball games there is literally NO parking for residents Kari was one of the things that attracted us to the apts; she made us feel comfortable and less apprehensive about living in apts and even. I was able to bike to campus in about 8 to 10 minutes. Not only undergrads live here, but families, professionals, and graduate students. your apartment is trash everything breaks. Each apartment features. See Copyrights. And yes there is parking everywhere. Deposit: Required. The complex is patrolled by Universal Protection Service. Agreed: uber thin walls, noisy leaf blowers, very poorly lit in certain areas (I actually fell down over a flippin bike rack moved in the walk way in the pitch black of night), slow at repairs (they rescheduled repair work 3 times in a row), and mold on the bathroom ceilings (even though I wipe it down with bleach water regularly). I highly recommend staying away from this place. I would have liked to have central air conditioning, but have been happy with everything else, including management. This place is really good for college or UC Davis students. Refrigerator leaks, A/C does not blow cold air. The managers are incerdibly nice, there is actually street parking here. They give 24-hour notice to enter your unit the NIGHT BEFORE (ALL THE TIME) Search. Every time the guy in the room upstairs from mine sneezed, I could hear it. I've seen the security guy walking around at night, which is more than I've seen at any other Davis complex. Let the Rental Assistant do the search for you! The Club Room and Business center are open with the office hours only. Parking is great too. These made sense, and are pretty common among apartments everywhere, even if it is terrible for the lessee. But yet It took them two phone calls to deal with the problems. Eventually all units will have cable jacks in bedrooms. The owners of this complex should be ashamed of themselves for hiring such terrible management and maintenance crews. It seems to me that Parkside Apartments is very happy to take care of any problems, so long as you make sure to talk to them about it. When I renewed, I asked about cleaning up the cabinets because of the bad condition they were left in after the previous tenants, and what a pain it is to clean it up myself without taking the shelves out of the cabinets. started falling apart. Upon arrival to our new place, we discovered that the place had NOT been cleaned and there were still groceries in the cupboards. If you knew your stuff about renting you would do this automatically. Cats are allowed with an additional deposit of $300 to $350. This experience at parkside has left a negative and unsafe feeling. Parking can be a hassle. I don't know what some of the other's who commented were expecting from a place that offer's 3 bed/1 bath apartments in Davis for $1200 and for the money they charge Parkside does a good job. The management was inefficient, unprofessional (they actually told me and my roommate that the potsmoker partyanimals who lived below us had been there longer thus we had to accomodate THEM), I'm renewing my lease for next year because I enjoy living here. where is the security then? We have central A/C and noise has never bothered me. Not allowed to have a BBQ grill and there is none on the property The most popular nearby apartments are: Parkside Apartments, Woodland Oaks, DAVINCI APARTMENTS and J STREET APARTMENTS. Safety Wise, I've never experienced a break-in, either my car or my apartment. Way too many ins and outs of unit by management or contractors a few weeks ago i was taking a shower with the window slightly ajar (the apartment management stresses that mildew needs to be taken care of) and there was a digital camera outside of my window taking video. Also,also, I have not actually seen the securtiy that they said they have hired. The washers leave clothes stained (whites) and dryers sometimes leave clothes damp. It's ridiculously hot in the summer b/c the, My fiance and I been living here for almost 2 years. Disposition: Report Taken. No sleeping in! DO NOT MOVE HERE IF YOU ARE A FEMALE! Lesson #3: when you have a problem, PUT IT IN WRITING! The management is great and, though the apartments are old, keeps them maintained as best as possible. It makes me parnoid about some of my activities as I don't want to disturb our neighbors. but they will know you are calling about Parkside. THey say they have a security. All the cupboards are not properly 'cut' so there is a space between ALL of them. Except where otherwise noted, this content is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution License.

HunterLower, 2006-06-12 15:41:23 yes parkside is cheap so if you want to shell out 900+ to live in a hellhole, be my guest but i will never again. They had only lived there 3 weeks. The apartments are spacious and are in pretty good condition considering their prices and how old they are. 1035Ktur. Review. Problems with my toilet? But for the price it was not. I had to yell at them, they finally looked at our folder and said "never mind i found the check" They had claimed that they cash checks right away!
