Sierra Vista Apartments

looked very nice at first the manager is very nice/​sneaky! first apartment we moved in and there were cockroaches! she tried to explain them as wood bugs after moving into another apartment she said we had a new fridge and dishwasher. we opened the fridge and found old meat blood in the drawer and the dishwasher doesn’t drain. so we move in and pay 100 dollars more. we pay 47.56 each month for water trash and sewer so now i total out to 1000 dollars a month for a two bedroom. the windows are so bad that the blinds move with the windows closed. we have one closet for storage and half of my bedroom furniture is in the closet. the washer and dryers are gross! and are coin op. i am very angry and feel like i was taken advantage of because i am young. total con-​artists!!!

I saw somebody reviewed this place and I just had to chime in.
I’ve lived in several apartments and I have never had such a horrible experience with management as I did here. To condense it, moving out was a pain. I scheduled a walk-​through (which I’m entitled to) and the manager did not show up. When I called her she told me she never scheduled an appointment (I took notes, she did) and there would be no walk-​through.
The day my roommate and I moved out, another tenant put their mattress out by the dump, we got charged and reprimanded for that! I argued with the manager and told her that I tend to take my mattress with me when I move and the mattress was at another dumpster far from our apartment. She wouldn’t budge and STOLE from our deposit.
We got charged also for the crappy carpet (they said we’d have new carpet when we moved in), of which we marked on our move in sheet that there were cigarette burns when we moved in. My roommate and I don’t even smoke and we got charged for that.
Basically, we spent 2 days cleaning an apartment that was DISGUSTING when we moved in to it to near perfection (my roomie got lazy and didn’t clean the oven, so that deduction was fair) and still got back a small fraction of our deposit. Management was, and still sounds like, inept bullies. You couldn’t force me to move in to these dreary, out-​dated, crappy apartments.
Again, this is a condensed version of a very long and drawn out battle that I eventually stopped fighting because it wasn’t worth my time or energy. Just stay away!!!
