Tanglewood Apartments

Tanglewood apartments is a horrible apartment complex to live in, I saw people going through other peoples cars at night, its not safe and not in a safe neighborhood. they also supply you with a dirty apartment and then will take your whole deposit check to clean the dirty carpet they gave you… Do not move here

I moved to Tanglewood Apartments in July, 2015. I live in a very nice, clean 1 bedroom apartment. The complex is quiet with a very nice pool and spa and 2 clean laundry rooms. I really like that everything is close; busline, restaurants and shopping are all in walking distance. The office manager «Maribel» is onsite and very eager to help in any way she can. I really like my new home. I would definitely recommend Tanglewood Apartments to my family and friends.

CROOKED. I moved to Tanglewood Apartments at 1920 E Grand Ave., Escondido, CA. 92 027 in March of 2014. I paid $ 700 deposit and the rent was $ 1075.00 month. I signed a one year lease. The apartment they showed me was not the apartment they rented to me and the actual apartment I moved into was beyond ghetto. The entire time I lived there only 2 of the burners on the stove worked. The dishwasher door was only hinged on one side so whenever we opened the dishwasher door it felt like it was going to come off. The refrigerator leaked badly. The windows are single paned and very cheap. The door and deadbolt provide the security of a run down motel. I called the office and left messages for maintenance but no one ever came out to fix any of the issues. When I went to the office to ask to have maintenance come to my unit the manager said that new owners were in the process of buying the building and the tanglewood staff would be changing so I would have to wait for the staff change in order to have maintenance scheduled. After the new management (Pacific Shore Management) bought the building I requested maintenance and was told that all maintenance requests would have to be scheduled through the online system and the system was not set up for use at that time. So again, I waited. The office went through Xotchtil, Gabbie, Arianna and Margierite as office managers during which time the laundry room and pool were closed so even though I was required to purchase a laundry card, I was often unable to use the laundry facility. (The laundry cards must be bought for $ 5 and the credits must be purchased in the office… so if you work between 8 – 5 M-​F, good luck getting laundry money on your card. Also the office is closed on weekends and holidays). Amazingly, I never got maintenance to come out. I was counting the days until my lease was up. A month before my lease was up I received a notice on my door informing me that the tent would be raised to$ 1275.00 if I chose to go to a month to month lease or $ 1175.00 should I choose to sign up for another year of living in that hell hole. I went ahead and gave my notice and scheduled my final inspection. Before the inspection with yet another office manager named Maribell, I scrubbed walls, doors, windows, baseboards, etc until the apartment was ready for immediate occupancy by a new tenant. Maribell was very polite and impressed and said the deductions to my deposit would be minimal, just the required carpet cleaning and a bit of touch up paint. She asked me to sign the final inspection sheet to which she said she would be marking everything as C for clean. Enormous mistake only part not getting that in writing. Out of $ 700 deposit… I received $ 207.00 back. A few other things you should know before making the move to Tanglewood: Utilities (water, trash, sewer) are all paid by the tenant. The bill for washer/​dryer/​pool bill/​sprinklers are all added up and divided amongst the renters, so when they say the rent is $ 1175.00-$ 1275.00, expect to pay another $ 75 monthly for utilities. There is no central heating and air it’s just wall units. Freezing cold in the winter and unbearable in the summer months. Also, I have children myself so I am not opposed to children playing… but unsupervised children running around outside laughing and screaming at all hours of the night becomes extremely grating when the windows and walls do absolutely nothing for keeping out the noise. If you are considering a move to the Tanglewood Apartments in Escondido, I would strongly advise you to JUST KEEP LOOKING.
