Commons at Redwood Creek Apartments

This is the worst apartment complex. They raised our rent $ 200 in one year and most people have a hard time making that big of a jump. The office people are incredibly rude and will laugh in your face if you ask any questions. The property is often dirty. The garbage and recycling will often overflow. Parking is a struggle. In the summertime you will get ants no matter how clean your space is (they sent a letter asking us to wash dishes immediately and not to leave food on the counter but nothing got rid of the problem honestly). We lived on the second floor so I can only imagine how infested the ground floor flats were. Please avoid!

Here is my update: We got our deposit check with the big surprise that they charged us $ 100 for «carpet damage repairs and cleaning» WTF??? Pardon my French! But we lived here one month! one month for crying out loud. We had no furniture at the time, we decided that because our furniture was not going to fit in this egg shell, the best option for us was to put our furniture in a storage. So, we did. We had nothing, we slept on the floor. Me, my husband and my 20 month old baby. So, yeah! Worst apartments ever!
We lived here for one month. Landscape is ok. Neighborhood is nice and friendly. Staff at the office looks very unexperienced, the two times where we had to deal with them (when we moved in and we moved out) they where looking at us as we would have asked for their first born child. These are NOT luxury appartments. They are very outdated. We had a one bedroom and paid $ 1000. We would have stayed if the rent was 800. However, we had an issue with the fridge, (becuase is outdated) and with in the hour that I reported the problem, there was a nice gentleman who came to fix it up. So, I’ll give them credit for that. They even called me next day to check on it. Bottom line. The place is over priced for what you get, but it’s not a dumpster either.

Honestly I wouldn’t even give this place one star. I definitely would not recommend that you do not move here for multiple reasons! The staff is completely awful, rude and inconsiderate of the residents. Every time I had a concern about something and needed to call the office, the women there had no idea had to answer my questions and then would say I needed to speak with the manager who was always «unavailable.» The only time she would be able to talk to you is if you actually went in and sat at her chair waiting.
Not only that, but the quality of the apartment complex is crap. The landscaping is awful, the pool is gross, the parking is ridiculous (unless you pay to park) and the apartments are outdated and falling apart.
If you are going to spend the money on renting in Beaverton, I suggest you do it at a different apartment complex. Ever since this new management company has taken over these apartments have really gone downhill. They even charged me after move out to replace the carpet due to «damage» even after we had reported on at least 3 occasions that the apartment above us was leaking through our ceiling! Which, when we called it would be HOURS before someone showed up and our ceiling is just leaking all over the place.
Save yourself the headache and don’t live here.

Had lived here for almost 10 years. Have seen 2 different management companies, but Tandem is the worst management company in portland. Rent has gone up from $ 977 for a 2 bedroom 1bath to $ 1250 .Pepole are running out of this property like rats on a sinking ship. Dont let Tandem’s pictures fool you, the pics are from the last management company. The kicthen cabinets are out dated and have many coats of white paint. The grounds have dog poop all over, and no one from the management company pick it up, not even the dog owners. The grounds are not kept-​up, the pics are from last year .The club house is not for renters any more, but for Tandem staff and mantenace to work from. The only new thing that Tandem has done is new gym equipment. Tandem is forceing pepole out in order to turn the property into condos. So before you think about renting here ask your self, AM I GETTING MY MONEYS WORTH.

I really use to like living here till the now company took over «the commons» Its pretty much horrible the worst place you could live!!! not only have we had to prove multiple times with money orders receipts and checks that we had already paid due amount but they kept trying to double charge bad attitude with the front desk … now they trick people into renting here then become total beytaches
if you move here keep all your receipt and record all phone calls with them
the communication problem is a HUGE issue there LOL!

I’m unhappy with the raise in rent and them pretty much kicking everyone out, but everything nowadays is all about money and business so I can’t hold that sort of expectation against them. The service that has been given by some of the staff hasn’t been the greatest but they seem to be getting their jobs done. I don’t know… I have mixed feelings about this place. It sucks that everyone’s leaving and that the energy around this place has gotten really gotten bad… I do like the area and I liked living here.
There are ant problems so that’s a downfall but i like the nature around here. I like my privacy and the particular area that I live in around here as well. The neighbors are really nice too.

Oh where do we begin?
MAJOR ant problem. The apartments are literally falling apart. The «grounds» look like they were landscaped by escaped felons. The «gym» sucks. The staff looks and acts like they’re a shade above drooling. Parking is impossible since they don’t include a carport in the rent cost. Greenway Elementary is an embarrassment. Tandem Properties is run by crooks and leaves everything they buy in ruins. Apparently they don’t realize that when you buy another business you also buy their debt, but trust me you’ll end up paying the old debt.

Hmmmmm The old staff and company were amazing people. The new office staff are very rude. Even the rent will increase, after the lease is over, dramatically to almost 200 $. Stay away from here. There are so many other better and nicer apartments around.

They were okay when Riverstone managed them.
Now with Tandem Property Management this place SUCKS.
The apartments are pretty crappy quality and they’re advertised and priced as «luxury».
The new company incurred a utility debt on purchasing the property which they are now ILLEGALLY trying to pawn off on to the residents. I have had to secure legal services because they’re so shady and money hungry. Stay far far away.

I used to love living here, until this new company moved in. They were apparently to stupid to realize they occur the debt of the previous company. They now are kicking everyone out, and raising rent over 300 a month.
To help with this debt they occurred they found some «loop holes» saying everyone owes 4 months of past due utility’s. So after calling twice about this and getting no where. I took time OFF WORK to come in a speak with them. When I asked for an invoice they said they don’t have that info. So I asked what they did have and she wrote stuff down on a sticky note. When I asked to see the proof she said she doesn’t have that, but since when we first moved in 2 years ago we didn’t pay the first month, they we didn’t pay last month since they were figuring this out. So I said okay I owe 2 months. She said no I owed 4. Okay I don’t have an PhD or anything, but even I know 1+1 = 2 not 4.
This company is the worst I have ever had to deal with, we almost didn’t renew our lease in January and I wish we wouldn’t have, now we have to deal with Tandem. they also are getting investigated for discrimination in a audit. Copy and paste below:

For being luxury apartments you would think they would make everything look better at least, right? Wrong! I went down to the hot tub, and what do you know the stupid maintenance staff left the water on when they were filling it, so it was over flowing i’m sure we will pay for that too. Especially since we had to pay the 250 for water that they cant explain to us.
Then don’t even get me started on the office staff. R-​U-​D-​E, and the only reason I chose this word is because all others would have to be *‘s. Plus the reason they are renting month to month now is to kick everyone out one building at a time so they can completely tare everything down to the studs. If you are considering this company, DON“T not unless you like dealing with all of this.

I’m not sure why most reviews are ending up in the «not recommended» category. As stated by many of those reviews, this apartment complex was recently taken over by a new company. The company came in and fired most everyone that worked on the grounds and in the office. They are raising rents by sometimes nearly $ 200 per month once a lease is up. The grounds are beautifully landscaped but even that is falling away since the staff has been cut dramatically. As far as I know, they are only offering month to month tenancy at this point.
The apartments were well maintained with the previous company and they sit amongst trees in a beautiful setting. in the past, I would have given at least a 4 star review, based on the maintenance standard and the helpful and friendly staff, but unfortunately, that appears to be changing.

This place was bought by new management! They are worse then the previous owners. More drugs, alcohol, parties, trash, and violence happens here now. The office staff are clueless and disrespectful! DONT WASTE YOUR TIME. All they want is money. They dont care about you or the appeal of these apartments.

Very shady business. They’ll do anything to screw every last cent out of you. Management showed their true colors once I was settled in, and when the new company took over recently, it got even worse. To put it softly, the staff is very rude.
I recently purchased a classic car (hudson pacemaker coupe, pretty sweet ride, granted, it needs a little TLC) and had it parked in a non-​reserved parking space in front of my apartment. Since the vehicle was operational, I wasn’t in violation of my lease in any way. I came home from work to find a notice on my car’s window, telling me that my car was inoperable and demanding that it be removed from the property or they’d have it towed at my expense. I went into the office and explained to them that the car DID in fact run (nicely I might add) and that they could not rightfully have it towed. The woman was very rude to me and said because it had a cracked passenger window and rust damage, it was not fit to be parked on their property. Maybe she should take a look at some of the other vehicles sitting around this place wasting away.
This place has been nothing but a nightmare since I moved in and I wouldn’t wish a rental agreement with these guys upon my worst enemy.

Horrible complex with constant construction, Paperthin walls, alcohol and drug use in the parking lot, bass blasting from car stereos, bedrooms are by the loud parking lot, rude staff that lie about the utility cost, and pit bulls everywhere. Oh and no one picks up their dogpoop. I wish I would have had a warning before I moved in here. This is my warning to you.

I would not rent here again. There is constant construction going on even on the weekends. They put notices up for construction projects but they are never completed or sometimes even started by the dates posted.
The first time we used the stove in our unit it smoked and sparked. After three different trips up from maintenance and just not using the main burner for three or four months we finally got a new stove.
The reason I’m writing this review is because our water was just turned off for five minutes without prior notice or warning. They couldn’t even be bothered to call us.
There isn’t anything we can do because the issue wasn’t severe enough. But at least I can write a review and keep others from renting here.
