What Residents Say

On-site management and maintenance teams earn genuine praise for attentiveness and speed, with multiple tenants noting staff treat residents as people rather than transactions. A quiet, cheaper alternative draws students and budget-conscious renters who experience peaceful months or years here. Yet safety complaints, mold stench in the office, structural decay, and amenities that do not work paint a starkly different picture for others. The 3.3 rating masks extreme polarization: 43% five-star reviews sit alongside 36% one/two-star reports of theft, crime, roach infestations, and unauthorized deposit charges impossible to contest once a resident leaves.

The divide appears physical. Reviewers cite "quiet sections" and "good location," implying some areas deteriorate significantly. One tenant described trees growing from the roof and wards of the state scattered through corridors. Another noted the office itself smells of mold and heavy marijuana. Maintenance responds within 30 minutes to heater calls, yet website amenities lie dormant, and deposit disputes are lost to distance. The "under new management" sign has hung for a decade by one account, signaling stalled promises.

Recent shift: Over the past year, sentiment has remained deeply split, with no clear improvement trajectory. The oldest (11 months ago) and most recent (2 weeks ago) reviews reflect the same extremes: praising the management or describing crime, mold, and building failure. The "under new management" claim from a decade ago suggests rebranding without substantive change.

Watch-outs

Best for: Students seeking frugal on-campus alternatives or budget renters willing to tolerate variable conditions for low cost.
Think twice if: Safety and building upkeep are non-negotiable. One-star reviews detail car break-ins, gunfire, structural rot, and mold; high turnover suggests most tenants depart after early problems.

Maintenance, Management & More

Affordable & Section 8 Housing
Staff and management praised for treating tenants with dignity; rent described as affordable and moderately reasonable. Safety, structure, and amenity upkeep stand in stark contrast.
Furnished & Corporate Housing
Limited direct evidence. One student praised quiet setting and Google Fiber for budget living; no furnished-specific service details evident.
Luxury Apartments
No luxury positioning supported. One reviewer notes condition "far from what the reviews stated," and another describes basic living at low cost. Building decay and safety issues eliminate luxury category relevance.

3.8(236)✓ Google-verified

Staff turnover has split this affordable complex into two experiences. Since a new office team (Jacklyn, Jose, Rosa, Vanessa) took over, move-ins and leasing run smoothly and maintenance requests receive prompt attention. Before that shift, residents faced mold spreading unchecked behind plaster, AC failures in summer heat lasting over a week, plumbing leaks destroying belongings, and an office that closed mid-afternoon with no follow-up. The core tension is safety. One parent reports mold returning in air vents despite CPS involvement and pediatrician warnings against the living conditions; another describes raw sewage backing into a bedroom while rent is still due on time. Current residents praise the affordability (all bills paid from $699) and staff warmth, but earlier tenants describe a property that demanded rent while repairs went unfinished. The company is Professionally Managed by Achieve Properties, yet residents report blocking emails and refusing to share corporate contact information.

Country Club Village draws strong praise for friendly staff, modern facilities, and a welcoming atmosphere when things run smoothly. Elevator failures happening weekly and months-long repair delays for appliances undercut that experience; residents on upper floors and those needing quick maintenance response should weigh these operational frustrations carefully.

Many residents praise Jennifer, Yesenia, and other staff for professional, patient leasing help and say maintenance responds quickly. Others report rude office behavior and serious roach infestations; one recent reviewer called the problem complex-wide and stated maintenance confirmed it. The complex offers gyms, dog park, and affordable rents starting at $599, but the stark divide between five-star and one-star reviews, plus heavy pest complaints, suggests conditions vary by unit or have not improved consistently since management changes noted in recent reviews.
