What Residents Say

Strong personalities on staff make a real difference here. Rosanna, Brianna, and manager Cheryl earn consistent praise for their care and responsiveness, and many long-term residents report quick repairs and a peaceful community. However, the experience splits sharply: some face roach infestations, slow maintenance backlogs, and combative interactions when requesting fixes, while others describe move-in chaos and disputes over deposit refunds.

The divide appears tied to which staff member handles your lease and how quickly maintenance gets to your unit. Budget-conscious renters and those with patient personalities report satisfaction; those expecting reliable pest control or who hit snags at move-in often leave frustrated. Cheryl's recent appointment as manager and active presence on the grounds may signal improvement, but the roach and maintenance-backlog complaints remain unresolved in recent reviews.

Praised for
  • friendly and helpful front office staff (especially Rosanna, Brianna, Cheryl)
  • responsive management and quick maintenance repairs when engaged
  • clean and well-maintained grounds and apartments
  • affordable pricing and low-cost housing option
Watch-outs
  • roach infestation and pest problems
  • slow or incomplete maintenance work and backed-up repairs
  • unprofessional management attitude and staff frustration
  • move-in delays and unfinished apartments at check-in
  • non-refundable deposits and aggressive fault-finding at move-out

Sunstone divides sharply along tenure and staff interaction. Early arrivals praise the new units, pool, and gym, plus staff members Ike, Victoria, and Adriana for patient, bilingual help. Longer-term residents report a sharp decline: recurring appliance failures (stove, hot water) that management leaves unfixed despite repeated reports, broken security gates left open, overcrowded parking with no towing, trash compactor constantly overflowing, and smoking and drug use in hallways despite a non-smoking policy. Maintenance technician Sam earns consistent praise for actual repairs, but structural issues with tenant selection and management accountability remain unaddressed. The core complaint is that management collects rent on time but ignores deteriorating conditions. One resident lost hot water for a full week; another's broken stove cycled through temporary fixes. Some flag this as a bait-and-switch: clean at move-in, chaos within months as problem residents are admitted without enforcement. Safety concerns (speeding in lots, broken fire extinguishers, window breakage) coexist with appeals for cameras and gate repairs that have not materialized.

Most residents praise the front office team and the clean, secure feel of the complex. Staff like Jessica, Kassandra, and Natalie are named repeatedly for professionalism and genuine care. Security and maintenance are consistent strengths. However, serious maintenance gaps emerge over time. Mold returns every summer despite multiple complaints, and staff only wipe it down rather than fix the source. Rent has climbed and no longer aligns with the affordable housing premise. Some leasing interactions have been dismissive or inconsistent, leaving applicants frustrated and wasting time.

Very few reviews make assessment difficult. Those on file describe a noisy complex with safety concerns around unsupervised children in parking areas and poor upkeep. Residents report aggressive deposit retention, with $300 cleaning fees applied even after units appeared move-in ready.
