Oak’s Apartments

To Patrick C’s point, yes, tenants can get unreasonable upset over things that are out of the control of the property manager, but sometimes the property management is indeed negligent. Unfortunately, my time at this property, although began to get better towards the end, fell into the latter category.
Examples:
The water shutoff valve to the group of units I lived in was in my back patio/​yard. Instead of knocking on our door to gain entrance to the yard, management would just take our fence down and not always put it back up when done.
On multiple occasions maintenance would leave cigarette butts in our yard, despite being asked repeatedly not to.
On 3 occasions we were left up to a week at a time with standing water in our sink due to poor plumbing, instead of calling a plumber immediately.
On 1 occasion I had to call the emergency line due to our carbon monoxide alarm going off. It took 3 days for anyone to get back to us about this. When they did it was discovered our old stove was the culprit and was replaced. 3 days to respond to a carbon monoxide alarm!
On 1 occasion the unit upstairs flooded and caused extensive leakage to our unit. Somebody from maintenance came over right away (which was appreciated) to survey the damage, but then pulled a large bowie knife and went upstairs to talk to those tenants while brandishing that bad boy!
Look, it wasn’t all bad. And I know (i’ve been an on-​site apartment manager before) it’s hard work and under appreciated. But, for the 2+ years I lived at this complex, we’ve had to deal with more head aches and issues then I think is reasonable. Things have improved there it is true, but for the cost of rent, this complex, as of right now, is not worth it. Renter beware.

All in all, I had a very good and professional experience with management at the Oaks. My requests were always met in a timely manner and done well. I will not disagree that there were other tenants that were not my first choice for being my favorite kind of neighbor, but I do know that everyone needs a place to live and deserves a chance. If I ever saw a violation or had a confrontation with another tenant I notified management and the issue was quickly resolved. They are there to be peace keepers and maintain the property well and in that they have my vote. Thank you!

Worst place i have ever lived. Rent is way too high and the standards here are way too low. Repairs take too long to happen, and despite what a previous review states, the questionable tenants have NOT been filtered out. This place runs rampant with druggies, ex-​cons, and section 8 scumbags. except for a few people, i have noticed that most people here are inconsiderate and loud. The 10 pm noise curfew is completely ignored. I will say that the office managers may try their best to «run» this place but fall short at every turn. Speaking of which, it is also funny that an employee of this place is on here giving this place a positive review. It was probally a condition of employment. Trust me when i say that you do NOT want to live here or any other place owned by Wolfe & associates.

At the oaks apartments in Atascadero Property manager carol abuses authority she treats tenants amiss. She is so false intimidates tenants and is unprofessional condescending generally just plain rude favors those she likes and has no respect whatsoever for others beware she is backstabbing and likes to talk trash about tenants they don’t answer emergency calls AT ALL and according to several neighbors she’s even been heard yelling at tenants. The rents go up all the time those apartments aren’t worth it they post notices on doors saying you cant work on vehicles threatening to evict if caught however they continue working on their own vehicles they have expired tags on personal vehicles walks dog with no leash don’t pick up after dog people have reported them to the supervisor but they won’t do anything about it Maintenance workers are just as bad vehicle expired tags dogs without a leash work on vehicles smoke break every 5 mins during a repair leaves cigarette butts outside our doors. Maintenance workers kids are in trash cans riding bikes in street and through the common areas hitting bushes and cars with sticks carols son is always riding his scooter and skateboard on curbs causing concrete to break (but that’s the managers kid he’s told our kids that he can do anything because his parents are the managers) I have seen several good neighbors move because of the constant harassment and of letter after letter posted on doors about the rules we have to follow but they continue to break the owners of this property should know how unprofessionally she conducts business and how she really is. Seriously! Someone needs to look into this. Just go randomly ask tenants and you’ll hear the truth. We are just to scared to say anything. To bad I had to give it one star.

When property managers do their job tenants can get upset. Some times repairs take longer than tenants want and some time tenants trash a unit and expect to get their full deposit back. This property has changed for the better over the last few years. Apartments are being remodeled, the questionable tenants have been filtered out. This property is constantly improving.

We bought into the family friendly, safe environment. Wrong! They try to tell you Bordeaux apartments are bad, but here is just as bad. There are multiple people on probation, drug users, illegal people living with others there even though they are not on the lease. Living here illegally and noise ordinance are grounds for termination, deemed in the lease, yet the people in a building I lived in were not kicked out and are still here. Police were called twice and they were not kicked out. I made multiple complaints but they remained. Parking is an issue and even though you are given notes saying you can call towing, they will not tow because the manager needs to. When you do go to the manager, nothing is done. The maintenance there is a joke. The guys that do it are always on smoke breaks, picking up trash and not much else. The dumpsters are always overflowing with crap, and outside of it as well. The maintenance do one thing and is dig thru trash for treasures and cans. We came home once and a maintenance man came out in the dark out of a dumpster area with a light on his head to see in the dumpsters. Their kids are always in the street playing and never move if a car has to get by. They also throw things under cars to see if they run over it. They threw PVC pipe under my husband’s work truck to see what would happen. Also stated in lease that children under 12 are supposed to be supervised. Yea right! As long as you have money and they have an opening, they could care less what you do or if you follow the rules. Might as well move into Bordeaux because at least up front you know what to expect.

This place is the worst I have ever lived in. If you are downstairs you hear everything upstairs. There are multiple drug dealers and users on the property and if you have something the manager wants you are able to do anything. If you have kids you are just someone she wants out. As soon as your lease is up your rent goes up alot every few months. With this complex it is all about money. You have it they want it.

Possibly the worst place I have ever lived, the manager is snotty and condescending. Rebecca is nice but has no say in almost anything that goes on. Multiple drug users throughout the complex but they try to pass the places off as ‘more of a neighborhood less of an apartment’ beware! And do not expect your deposit back
