Cedar Glen Apartments

After almost a year still no large, working internet/​tv company as promised, we have given up and are starting to look for another home. The local company still provides bad service. Noise levels from neighbors have made it impossible to stay here. I can hear the upstairs people snoring and whatever else, even from my bathroom! The lighting they put in the parking area is so dim that I tripped on a water bottle and had to bend down and look to see what it was. An accident waiting to happen let alone people can mess with your vehicle in the dim light. On a nice evening, you can sit on your patio amid screaming, cursing children and illegal substances wafting in the air. We all recently got a notice that the mailboxes are being broken into and to take our mail to the postoffice. This place honestly needs a major refurbish… it’s not good. Renters beware!

I have lived here for 9 years. The first 8 years was a great experience. The old owners of this complex were easy going, the managers were also good. Rent rarely went up. But within the last year new ownership of these apartments has taken place — Gardner Management — and I can say without hesitation that this place sucks to live at now. Yes they have remodeled some areas, mostly unnecessarily. Almost every week there is some kind of new notice on my front door advising me of what I can and cant do, and when i can and cannot do something. Every single thing will be dictated to you if you decide to come and live here. There is no real security here, parking totally sucks. If you have more than one car you have to pay $ 30 extra a month or leave your car in the street and hope no one breaks into it or the city parking enforcement doesn’t write you up a fat ticket ($ 70); not including the ever increasing rent and the lack of choices you have regarding entertainment: you can go with direct TV or some other local cable company, not to mention this place just makes up rules that are not even in the contract we signed. Kids are running usually run around wildly without any supervision, other shady characters come and go from here as well. So long cedar glen, im outa here. It was nice for 8 years.
Renter beware…

I have lived here for almost a year, and my experience here has been less than pleasant. When I moved in, I was told that this was a non-​smoking apartment. Yet there are tenants who loiter in the stairwells drinking and smoking almost every night. I can’t even open my door in the evenings without cigarette smoke pouring into my apartment. Not to mention the swearing and foul language coming from said smoking tenants. Most nights my children and I can’t be in our own living room because the cigarette smoke and foul language are so bad. I have to usher us into my bedroom in order to escape the cigarette smoke and the cursing.
As expected living at an apartment, there are children, and they are loud. However there is little to no supervision of said children and they run around screaming bloody murder, even on week nights. I haven’t been able to have my patio door open in a few months because 1.) Cigarette smoke 2.) Children outside screaming so loud that you can’t have a normal conversation with guests.
There is almost no closet space, you have to pay for laundry, and the showers fluctuate between scalding hot and freezing cold constantly. As I write this, someone is playing a guitar and smoking in the stairwell.
And if you file a noise complaint through management, they won’t take you seriously. They’ll just call the neighbor and tell them to stop. That’s all they’ll do. So you’ll have to deal with an excessive amount of noise from inconsiderate neighbors, and then no action taken from the management.
Yeah, it’s inexpensive. But you get what you pay for. So if you’re okay with never having a moment’s peace and quiet and you’re okay with neighbors deliberately being excessively noisy because management won’t correct the problem, then move right in. But if you’re like me and you want home to feel like home, then consider living somewhere else. I already am.

Had a horrible experience with the new management. They overcharged me for an amount I didn’t sign for and then tried to take it out of my final
Move out refund without consulting me. Don’t recommend!

Came here to get a tour on 2÷23÷15 around 3:50pm. When we walked in the lady said she would be with us soon. Shortly after the receptionist got into an argument with a tenant… something about parking. We waited for 15 minutes and i think the lady forgot about us. We grabbed their information sheets ourselves and left… not surprised of the bad customer service, got an unpleasant service at their sister apartment Parkwood gardens.

clean apartments and a clean complex. They are a bit smaller than our old apartment.

I lived at Cedar Glen for a year. The apartment was dated but functionally fine. I don’t mind the location at all — it’s a few miles to the Collection, and a few more miles to the beach. But I do have a few issues. The little kids play outside, which I thought was kind of cool but there are some little foul mouthed kids out there that scream obscenities. Trash pickup is several times a week (for the many dumpsters in the complex) and always before 8 am on weekdays, and between 8 and 9 on weekends. I’ve recorded it on my phone because it is so loud, annoying, and long lasting. I can never get back to sleep after a solid minute of heavy truck diesel engine and metal grinding on metal.
Also, I had plants stolen off my balcony. I lived on the 2^nd level.
Also, it’s literally impossible to leave your door unlocked. If you aren’t used to that you can lock yourself out pretty easily. If you live with other people it’s not a problem, but if they’re off doing things… Well, I only locked myself out once, while my roommate was out of town, and that taught me really well because I got to brush up on my sweet ninja skills.
It’s not the worst place I’ve lived, that’s for sure. But it’s definitely not the best either. The staff is really nice, the price was decent, and they were willing to go month-​to-​month without a lease which exactly suited my needs at the time. With the age of the apartments you need to know that the walls have lead paint. It’s been painted over of course… But don’t eat the walls and you’ll be fine.
