Greenhaven Apartments

SUMMARY: Convenient and fun place to live; absolutely worth the price.
FULL STORY:
I lived in a 2-​bedroom unit in the 901 Mohawk community for the past year and was really happy with the experience here. I’m moving away for work, but I would be staying at 901 if I were staying in Bakersfield — have recommended it to lots of friends.
The staff is outstanding, especially the Property Manager (Maria!). They have always been friendly, professional, and extremely helpful. I felt like I was being welcomed home every day, even before I got to my unit.
The complex gates close automatically, and the easy on and off Lennox and Mohawk are super convenient. Mail and packages were always taken care of, and I could pick things up easily, even if I got home after midnight.
Everything in the unit worked well. I literally only had to put in one maintenance request for the entire unit over the course of the year (air conditioning — couldn’t be fixed that night, but was fixed early the next day).
The outdoor space, pool, etc were kept really clean and beautiful. I liked seeing all the grounds kept up, the immaculate streets inside the complex, and the gorgeous greenery throughout. It was a true pleasure to walk through the paths, and jog on the very low traffic, completely self enclosed street that circles the complex.
Despite being on a busy intersection in the middle of Bakersfield, the complex is very quiet overall. There was never a time that I could hear neighbors. many neighbors had children who would occasionally play in and around the pool, which you could only hear by stepping outside the unit. The laughter of children is always refreshing.
The gym is really bright and convenient if you need a place to workout, and the free WiFi in the gym/​pool area was super nice if you enjoy watching netflix or etc while working out and relaxing.
One feature that drew me to the complex was the attached parking garages for every unit… most nearby apartment buildings nearby completely lacked good parking options. The garage had plenty of space, and there are easy outdoor parking spaces for guests that are literally ten or twenty feet away from every unit.
And you reallllly can’t overstate the convenience of having most of the food options in the immediate area, within easy walking distance and super easy driving distance. There’s even a full fledged supermarket just three big blocks down California.
Note: The online resident site is useful — you can easily communicate with the property manager, submit maintenance requests, and etc.
