The Vineyards Apartments

I lived in the Vineyard Apartment Homes from the summer of 2013 – 2014. This was my first apartment home and I was making the move from Southern California. From the moment, I met them until the day that I moved out, the staff was extremely helpful, friendly, and professional. The grounds reminded me of a park and made a perfect home for me and my two pets (small dog and cat). Since I was living alone, I enjoyed the friendliness of the neighboring families and the safety that this gated community provided. Other bonuses included the availability of parking — including guest parking, the pool facilities, and multiple laundry rooms onsite. After a long search, I ended up choosing the Vineyard Gardens because of their affordable prices and great customer/​resident service. I would definitely recommend living at the Vineyard Apartment Homes.

Very quiet community. I’ve lived in other complexes and really hate all of the loud noises. The Vineyards are very peaceful and quiet. I have lived in the Vineyards for 2 years now. You get what you pay for. The price for rent matches the overall high quality living. If there are every any maintenance issues, it is fixed immediately.
The office staff is professional and friendly. I truly feel the staff cares about the tenants and their well being.
The overall appearance of the complex is amazing. Landscaping is a huge plus. The Vineyards are kept in excellent condition. This is a wonderful place to live

The short: Looking for a new spot to move to and was referred to check this place out
The long: Showed up to some construction being done on the main building where the pool and the office are. My initial thoughts were that everything is tidy and looks well maintained. I walked in and was immediately greeted by the leasing staff and they were very friendly. They took me to view a few different units and give me the tour/​rundown on the complex. They answered any and all questions I had and even told me some of the not so great things so they were upfront. Huge bonus in my book when you aren’t afraid to tell the truth. The units themselves although somewhat dated are in great shape. Sure you are not getting granite counter tops and stainless appliances, but it is LODI what do you expect? As far as I could tell everything was super clean and up kept really well. In fact one of the units I toured had just been vacated and the carpet had been deep cleaned and a new coat of paint put on everything.
What works: Quiet complex that looks to be very well maintained with friendly staff
What to improve: Maybe find a spot to squeeze in a gym or get a partnership with a gym in town to offer residents a deal.
