Circa 2020 Luxury Apartments

Place has some awesome amenities, and obviously has that brand new place smell. Has some quarky rules… but I guess that’s to keep the «resort» feel I suppose. Aside from that the only major complaint is the parking. Like everyone else has expressed, it is painful at times to locate a spot. I have a garage, but unfortunately my Dodge Ram 1500 won’t even come close to fitting in there. Basically it houses my motorcycle. If you have anything larger than a compact car, best of luck parking.

We moved into the apartments in July 2015 and are very happy here. We have access to some great amenities like the swimming pool, hot tub and gym. I particularly like the yoga and zumba classes.
Brooke and Candice who are part of the professional team are incredibly friendly and helpful and resolve any issues that we have in a timely manner. We recently had an issue with our aircon and it was taken care of by Candice and Brooke rather quickly.
Definitely consider living here you will be very happy!

The manager, Candice is utterly rude and the complex is a rip-​off given the surroundings. The owners give reduced rates to «preferred» customers to falsify the value of the apartments to create a fake demand in the community. Unless you plan on staying inside, just look to less rate because at the end of the day, your still on the border of San Bernardino and all that it implies.

Management is very professional, staffs are very warm, kind and nice. Their priority to ensure to give good living experiences to its residents.
At first glance this might seem expensive. After considering all the amenities you start to see the value.
They are really fast on Maintenance. If you need a minor and/​or major service to be done in your unit, they are fast to schedule a technician within a day or so. They always do follow ups.
Overall this is a great new complex.

After touring with Tammy, my leasing agent for the day, i found that the community lacked overall character. My leasing agent, however, had plenty. She was very polite and eager to lease us our new apartment home. I say this mostly because there aren’t any neighbors (yet), it’s mostly vacant in building 11 and 12. Hmm, I wonder why? Where the community falls short though, is their over pricing of their modern looking apartment homes. The small 1-​bedroom apartment I was interested in, leased at $ 1600 USD, as of Feb 1, 2016, with a signed 13-​month lease. They also charge a non-​standard, extra month to your 12-​month lease to recover any concessions they give you to further entice you. However, I changed my mind within 48-​hours, because I found a better value to lease a 2-​bedroom for much less, with similar amenities, near downtown Redlands. It’s now been 2 weeks and I’m still waiting for my $ 100 rental deposit to be returned by their corporate office. I’m truly shocked, appalled, and dismayed by the fact, after repeated calls about the return of my deposit to Ms. Candice Welch, the property manager, she can’t call me back to discuss this. Apparently, she’s got something better to do than make a simple return call to reassure me my check is on the way.
My next step may be to contact the Better Business Bureau to file a complaint or contact legal counsel to remedy this situation. It’s clear I made the right decision not to lease there as to their poor customer service would likely only continue living there. I know if I was the property manager, I’d do everything I could to listen, learn, and make changes to current policy to ensure that prospective residents have a great experience, and regardless if they change their mind or decide to reside there. In closing… before you leave a holding deposit, do your homework and check out additional apartment homes in the area as you’ll too discover there may be better options available to you. Should you leave a good faith holding deposit and change your mind within 48-​hours, you may not get your deposit back at all. As is the case with me. My overall experience was utterly negative. Your experience may be different, and I truly hope it is. Good day!
Update: February 10, 2016
I received my full deposit back today via U.S. mail along with an apology by email from Ms. Candice Welch for her lack of communication regarding my experience. I’ve upgraded the stars from 1 to 3 for resolving the matter amicably.

I love the apartment complex; the units are large and spacious, I love the layout, the area is clean and well maintained. The amenities are nice; beautiful pool and spa, there are areas located throughout the facility you can barbecue, relax and watch tv. The pool area is amazing cabanas and large screen tv’s. They also have two several large entertainment areas which you can use to entertain we’ve used it. I am so glad we moved here! There is plenty of parking space.

From the moment I stepped inside the leasing office through move in, I received best in class service delivered in large part by my Leasing Agent, Brooke Lewis. Brooke immediately identified my needs, provided multiple options, walked me through each apartment unit and helped me narrow down to the apartment I now occupy. The property is everything and more. Amazing clubhouse and pool area with a 5 Star resort vibe. The apartments are beautifully designed with hard wood floors and all the modern features you would expect in a best in class apartment home. The Circa 2020 property team is friendly, engaging and very helpful. It truly has a family feel. The tenants I have met are equally friendly and seem to recognize what a special and unique living environment Circa 2020 has created. Quiet is the best way to describe the living experience yet, a sense of community where residents respect each other. Working professionals and families reside on property… I enjoy the diversity of the community. Add Circa 2020 to the top of your list when looking for a new place to live and be sure to ask for Brooke!

I’ve been living here since November and love it. I was looking at moving to another place in Redlands by Barton and Alabama for a few hundred dollars less per month, but decided to move here for a few reasons. The initial reason I looked here was in order to find a non-​smoking community. I moved from a very large house to a one bedroom unit. I have a young child here part time and didn’t want him exposed to second-​hand smoke which, in my experience, has been common in apartment living. The one bedroom unit I rented came with a one car, semi-​direct access garage and storage unit. Having that helped me to justify spending additional money per month versus outside storage. Also, there is (or was) a promotion at the time to provide free fios wi-​fi internet and cable for a year. That in addition to the garage and storage made up for the higher monthly rental.
Beyond that, this community is brand new! The amenities are amazing. The place looks like a resort inside and out. I found the staff to be EXTREMELY accommodating. The location is awesome. It’s close to everything; walking distance to Citrus Plaza shopping, restaurants, etc. Very close to the 10 freeway. Also, the community does not accept government subsidized housing dollars, so most of the residents are professional full-​time employees or resident doctors at Loma Linda. I can rest easy knowing that the chances of a «Jerry Springer» incident will be minimal, if any at all, than if lived in a cheap place.

I don’t live here but I enjoyed a work party that was held in the lounge area. Great space to have friends and the kitchen had everything we needed!

I’m a current resident at this location and I have to echo what others have said here. The parking situation is horrible. The person who responded to another persons bad review glibbly stated there’s enough parking for every apartment to have two spaces, but what they’re not telling you is that they charge for that parking. Covered parking — which would be free anywhere else — costs $ 35/​month extra. And they have almost all spaces covered. Garages will cost you an extra $ 75/​month. This place has nice amenities but they will nickel and dime you for everything else. Third floor apt? That’s a premium — costs extra. First floor? Premium — costs extra. Corner? Premium — cha-​ching! Assigned parking CA CHING CA CHING CA CHING.
I am super not happy with this parking situation.

CIRCA 2020 is great. I lived here since May 2015 and I love my apartment. Pool and bbq area has TVs so I can watch sports while grilling up some steak. Candice and Krystal are great to deal with, they were very clear and precise in answering my questions and what I needed to know. Never felt like they were hiding anything from me. If I wanted a garage, mountain view etc., they told me clearly it was extra.
I don’t know how other people could rate it a 1 star just because of parking. I admit parking can be an issue but that’s about it. I’d give a 1 star to the architects and construction management, they must have had a brain fart when deciding how many parking spots are needed. But other than parking, the place is immaculate and I can walk to Jersey Mike’s! What more can you ask for where everything is brand new!

A great place to live with good amenities and friendly management. Ideal location near freeways and shopping. Beautiful architecture and attractive units. So far, so good.

I’ve been living here for about month, & honestly it’s really nice, it’s spacious for a one bedroom! It’s on the pricier side, I realize a lot is included which is great. I just wish the parking situation was better. I know other apartments include at least one parking spot, it’s a shame that for what we pay we have to pay an additional price for something others get for free. Sometimes I don’t even want to go out & when I do find parking I have to leave extra early for work because I’m parked on the other side of my apartment? It’s really getting to a point where a house would be better? Especially for the price we’re paying on this apt. Also, the special instructions to keeping the floor & counters clean, I mean it’s like their already telling us we won’t get our deposit back. I took photos of when we were moving in, holes near outlets & on the ceiling. Crooked ceiling lamps, & ants. Security is friendly, pool looks great, gym seems amazing, & some of the staff is great! Ones always on the phone. It’s a little rude other than that it’s pretty good! This place is nice & has so much potential I’m sure it’ll look great when it’s done, I’m not so sure we’ll be here for it, we’ll be busy looking for parking.

What can I say about circa2020, other than the parking situation is ludicrous at best. Before we signed the lease the management team told us that each unit would have at least 1 reserved parking spot. Now we have learned the hard way that there is nowhere near enough parking for each resident unless you are willing to pay additional fees. I once parked in the only available spot left, and received a threatening note. Before moving to circa2020, I would advise you consider setting up a cardboard box in an abandoned lot. at least then you will have somewhere to store your vehicle.

So far I’ve been very happy living here. The entire apartment complex is brand new so naturally everything looks to be in great condition. The rent is a bit on the pricier side but is significantly better than LA apartment rates. The pool and fitness center are fantastic. Very close to an up-​and-​coming shopping epicenter in the Inland Empire. Only issue so far is the condensate piping in the AC system wasn’t correctly routed and thus creates a knocking noise. Hopefully that will be fixed soon. Overall a welcome addition to the area.
Also, yeah, the parking issue needs to be resolved. There needs to be at least one reserved spot per apartment included in the rent. This isn’t a large city where parking spaces come at premium. I’ll adjust my review accordingly if this issue isn’t resolved shortly.
