Mesa Creek Apartments

I only live here due to necessity. My apartment is old and decrepit. It is overpriced. The management is awful. The amenities are sub-​par. On a positive, it is safe. The neighbors are ok. If you are truly desperate, you may like living here. It epitomizes Bakersfield.

I lived here about 7 years ago and it was one of the worst renting experience in my life. I recently had a coworker move out of here and got the same experience. In the time I lived there I never wore shoes on the carpet and had no baking supplies in the apartment at all. When I asked about my deposit when I moved out, they said they were keeping it because my carpet and oven needed to be cleaned. I never used the oven!!! The carpet was never spilled on or stepped on with shoes!!! Management was rude and due to an error of writing a check from an old bank account, they tapped big eviction notices on my door the first week I moved in. It was embarrassing from the start and they started treating me like a crook and made me give them money orders the other 5 months I was there. They knew I had a good job and instead of calling me to talk about the error they embarrassed me in front of my neighbors. Look some place else!!!

My husband I have lived at Mesa Creek the past year. We absolutely loved it. We had the 1 bed room; it has so much character and is a decent size as well.
Our apartment was recently renovated, so it had cream counter tops, new carpet, and newer appliances.
We had absolutely zero problems with management. Tammy and the rest of the staff were always very kind to us and also helpful when needed.
The only reason I’m not giving it five stars is because Ashe is such a busy road and we faced it, so that was the only annoying thing.
We didn’t have any problems with security, heard gun shots a couple different times but unless you want to pay $ 1000+ for a really nice part of town, you will get that pretty much everywhere else in Bako.
Highly recommend these apartments! :)

This place is Beautiful! I love everything about the structure and location! It is perfect. THe trees, the pool, even cute little squirrels. ;). but sadly, the management is very sub-​par. I was promised many things when this place was looking into my credit and they promised they would accept me now matter how bad my credit was. (I had 7 bad accounts which were all medical bills) When they got my report, they did not just say «I am sorry, but there is nothing we can do for you» but more like. «No way. Your credit is really really bad. We would never take somebody like you.» when I reminded them about what they promised me about taking me no matter what, they both looked at me like I was an idiot and one of them said «So?». I was shocked by how I was treated. Now, I have been calling them for the past 3 weeks and they refused to return my calls. I finally got one of them on the phone today (Her name is Rebecca), and she was soo rude. (Like before) I was very polite and asked her how to get the file. She sighed very loudly in order to make sure I heard that she was annoyed by me and didn’t care, then said We can’t give you that.” The. silent. I asked her why and she said «That’s confidential». I then asked «My confidential information is confidential from me?» She actually YELLED back at me saying «LOOK! WE DON’T GIVE THAT OUT NO MATTER WHO YOU ARE! IF YOU WANT TO TALK TO SOMEBODY ABOUT IT CALL OUR MANAGING COMPANY AND TELL THEM!» I then thanked her and asked for the information. She said it so fast and rude with another loud sigh. My friends in the room listening to her on speakerphone were just looking at me with their jaws on the floor and one of them said «Wow, Rebecca is a real C*NT.» I was still in shock by the way I was treated for no reason by these people (again) and now understand why none of them can get along. Great place, but because of the management, I am so thankful I did not qualify to live in this place, that even though looks like heaven, is made to be a hell.
