Hillcrest Park Village Apartments

What a hoot! I lived in these apartments while attending CSUF in 1967!!! Great times there. Doesn’t look like it’s changed much. I felt bad for the German engineer and his family that unfortunately had to live below us.

I have lived here over 20, TWENTY, years. My neighbors have lived here longer than I have (30 + years). We aren’t the only ones who have lived here happily for several decades or more. With over 100 units, certainly there are times when all of our needs weren’t immediately met, instantly, but anyone with reasonable expectations could understand that within 2 days our issues would be addressed. I’ve read other reviews and I frankly think that nothing less than a self-​entitled ninny muffin, or perhaps one favoured with the imaginary privilege endowed by parents lacking substance, would criticize the management here. Imagine, someone called and there wasn’t an apartment available… So the reviewer, silly nitwit, gave a bad review! Screw them and all of their ilk who review here and elsewhere posting faux reviews because they feel negated! I’m over-​joyed not to welcome such vacant twits to my apartment complex. The management works full time addressing the needs of the tenants. They’re a family who cares about each and every one of us. They have a personal investment; they’re not a management company. I love them, Don, Peter, Frank, Brian, Jeanine, family and all, as if they were my own. Are there ever troubles? Of course, but we resolve them. Please don’t apply for a residence here if you don’t want to truly care about being a citizen in a community where people give a damn about where they live. I’m reviled by some of the reviewers here. And I can’t imagine that those who wrote poor reviews were better than the ugliest tenants that you wished would have left here sooner. AND, I damn well know from where of I speak. This is an old complex. Expect problems with the plumbing or whatever else may occur due to age. But also expect that the management will address your issues with genuine concern. Frankly, I’m grateful to call this complex home; and more importantly than the location are the family who serve it. I can’t imagine the travesties that previous reviewers alluded to, other than the reviewers being delusional, spoiled, self-​entitled ninny muffins wanting to agitate. I hope I never meet them. I wouldn’t want to live any place else. I’ve had the money to do so and I chose not to. Best complex I’ve lived in in my entire 53 years. !!

Beyond rude. Called about information is lease. The man who answered wouldn’t help. Kept saying I have nothing available. Don’t waste your time.

I absolutely LOVE my apartment! I’ve lived here for 2 years now and I don’t ever want to move! I wish I could buy my apartment and live her forever. My rent has not gone up in 2 years. It is a family owned apartment neighborhood and the family who owns it lives on the premises. I see them often and they keep a good eye out on the neighborhood. I’ve talked to Don (the owner) on dozens of times and he is very personal and sweet. Every time I need a repair, the guys are there the next day! One time I was having a birthday party one late friday night at my apartment and apparently I blew a fuse and all the electricity in my kitchen went out. I couldn’t get the electricity back on (I think I’m incompetent) and Don came to my rescue minutes later to help me get it back on. I really appreciate being apart of such a safe friendly community! Also, I love how they enforce parking permits because I ALWAYS have a place to park. I also have the option of renting a garage, which is a huge plus! We also have a little backyard which is surprisingly spacious! I guarantee it’s the best price for the location! SUPER WALKABLE! I walk to the grocery store, Wing Stop, cleaners, or Downtown Fullerton on a daily. If your lucky enough to get a chance to move it, take it! But warning, you might not want to move again!

I would give it 5 stars but no apartment complex is perfect. But I truly love living here! The complex feels safe and quiet, there are security cameras around the parking lot and it is rarely hard to find a parking spot. The unit is a decent size and downstairs units get a bit of a yard! Not just some sad concrete patio. The family that owns the complex is helpful, prompt and friendly. It is in walking distance of a grocery store and downtown Fullerton. The only thing I would change is cleaner laundry rooms, a dishwasher and a Jacuzzi. But those are luxuries I am willing for forgo for the amazing affordability.

The reviews below this are fake. DO NOT move here. The landlord Don is a deceiving snake. He left me and my roommates passive aggressive letters under our door that were always bad news. When my friend spent one night at my apartment he sent me a letter saying that all visitors would have to sign the lease if they wanted to stay over. He authorized for my car to be towed even though I had a permit and refused to pay for it. He also promised for us to sign a month to month lease but then took it back 2 weeks before our lease was up. They have cameras everywhere (that you would think would be for the tenants safety) but in reality he used them to watch every move his tenants made (how he knew my friend spent the night). Save yourself from a terrible landlord and stay clear of Hillcrest!

I rented an upstairs 2-​bdrm unit from ⁸⁄₂₀₀₅ thru ¹²⁄₂₀₁₀. My daughter & I felt safe in this quiet, family-​owned & operated complex. The owners responded quickly to any maintenance needs & are very friendly. The complex is older but our unit was freshly remodeled & very comfortable.
Circumstances required a move but we regretted leaving; we loved our little home. We would return in a heart beat given the opportunity.

After reading these reviews I didn’t believe the hype. So I actually went to visit this apartment complex and to my surprise, the hype is real. When you arrive, someone comes and greets you with flowers. I got a free mint! Then they escorted me with a golf cart to park right by the leasing office. After showing me around, they gave me best buy gift cards, although they say they will expire in a few months after best buy gets bought out. but still great service!

These apartments are a hidden gem. Can’t ask for a nicer family– owned and run business! Very secure, quiet, in a gorgeous park-​like setting. Beautiful mature trees and nice pool area. Within walking distance to everything. I felt very safe here. The rents are super reasonable! Also, the apartments are quite large and have large back yards in the downstairs units. Highly recommended!!!

This is the best kept secret in town! The owners do not advertise so you have to know someone living here to learn about these apartments. The rent price is real value. I have a beautiful view of the pool from my living room and my balcony. If there is ever a problem management is very responsive. I have been here for two years and have loved every minute.
