Highlander Park Apartment Homes

Been here two years now. Under new management. Cynthia walker new manager is by far a total liar and bitch… she is a half ass manager!!! This place use to be so clean until she came in with new company. By far disgusting here now. Trash can always over filled. Roaches for the past three months now. Its gross. I come to the kitchen at night for a drink and when you turn the lights on they scatter!!! Ewwwww. Tenants with kids here dont watch them and they drag trash around the complex. Some tenants here mind their own business while others have had fist fights on their balconies. becoming very ghetto here. It use to be a lot of college students, but now looks like lower income families with multipule famlies moving into one apartment. Cant have no food or drinks by pool anymore which makes no sense. They have bbq and tables out there. Can’t have guests park inside anymore. If u don’t have a sticker you will be towed. Manager Cynthia goes around checking and calls tow truck. If u have a roommate and u both wanted to write your own personal check she will not except it. Need to put money together and purchase money order. I can keep going on about hie bad these apartments have changed but i would be here fir a week. Moving out next month. Thank God! !!!

I lived here two years ago. Obviously I would leave my new address for them to send me a bill for move out fees and they have my number if they needed to contact me. I never received any of that and now 2 years later they’re sending me a collectors fee. I call in to ask why am I getting a collectors fee and I wasn’t aware that there was a new owner. They read my new address to me and I told them that it was correct but they told me that the letter was returned. Wouldn’t it be common sense to email me or call me? The new owner told me to go onto the website to call the property owners. I asked her why couldn’t she just give it to me herself and she says she doesn’t have it. I go on the website and all the numbers I called did not assist me in anyway.

Highlander Park was initially a good place to live mainly because the previous management was good and caring. However, the management changed about 6 months ago and the new management is terrible. The on-​site manager is rude and she doesn’t care much about anything. Whenever we put in a maintenance request, it was fixed in 2 weeks (sometimes even more). Also, after the lease ends, they unconditionally increase the rent for next lease (which actually made us move out). The stupid thing is that the new management removed some facilities that were provided by the old management (like online rent payment, working gym equipments, etc) — so I don’t know why they are charging so high (higher than previous management).
The apartments are not good. They are poorly maintained from inside and outside. Premises is always dirty (don’t think they clean at all) and you can see dirt all around (including cobwebs, and other shit). The tenants are noisy: it is common to hear loud music from neighbors in afternoon, children playing and screaming (making it difficult to study). Also, most apartments are attached to car garages and hence, there is a terrible noise and vibrations whenever the car garage door opens or closes.
Basically, there are much better options like ParkHill, Boulder Crest, Windwood Apts where you can easily get a «GOOD» 2 bed 2 bath apartment for about $ 1150.

haha this place is a joke. they have a new management that are liars. didnt even show up for our move out inspections that we planned 2 weeks in advance ! and the last month we lived there they changed all the pool keys, laundry key, etc and didnt even tell us! Im not sure about the rent as we were locked in with are previous price but im sure they will rip people off! They complain about peoples animals when it was never a problem before (most tenants were responsible). I am so glad our lease was up and we moved just in time! I miss the old management (that actually cared about there tenants).

Left for the weekend and got ROBBED! Took everything including clothes and food. Must have stayed over night and of course no one saw anything (ya right). Magament sucks took all day to get the car out of the garage after thieves stole the opener. Moving as soon as we can. Safer on the street.

Been living here for 3 months now, and I think this place is just fine. Everyone minds their own business and the price of these apts arent too expensive.
I dislike that its next to the car wash though. People wash their cars at 7am in the morning! what the heck? I often get woken up because of the loud noise from the car wash.
The annoying thing about this apartment though, is that the parking gets filled up SUPER QUICK. So if you‘re not home by 9 or 10pm, you‘ll have to park outside of the gate. Management really needs to seriously do something about this.

This place is alright, it’s just the management that i absolutely HATE. Please don’t live here if you don’t want to be miserable and be smelling fresh pee and poo.
Parking is HORRIBLE, unless you have your own garage, unless you’re parking here on the weekends, unless you want to park in the fire lanes and get towed.
The gate by the liquor store is useless, one side is never closed. why keep it there? Might as well remove it because everyone can come in. My roommate once asked the manager why not keeping the gate closed and her response was «it takes $ 400 to fix the broken gate, and someone will break the gate again the night we’re done fixing. So we don’t bother fixing it.» Piece of crap!
So I decided to park here one weekend while going up north to visit my family, and guess what? Some drunk decided to hit-​and-​run, that force pushed my car into my roommate’s car. Going back only to find out that my bumper was hanging out there made me more pissed. «police report» didn’t do crap, what can I expect? I do live in riverside and it’s a hit-​and-​run. Later on found out that the manager heard the noise of the crash at the time but again didn’t bother to look out the window for crap.
SO we FINALLY moved out recently after living there for 2 years and this crap management is charging us $ 450 for cleaning, carpet and paint. Remember, we paid $ 400 deposit and with the $ 450 fine, that’s $ 850 total of CLEANING, NEW CARPET AND PAINT. W T F? What are you putting gold in the wall and SIX HUNDRED DOLLARS carpet in that apartment?
Yes, I am bitter. We are all poor college graduates that got no money to pay for that $ 450 for golden wall paint and golden carpets. Have fun living here!

This place is WHATEVERS! I got robbed living here, manager sucks, shes not reliable, never at her office during scheduled hours.
But, maintenance guy is nice and fixes everything you ask him.
Complex doesn’t offer much, gym is sad, there is one pool and one spa.
They have a sauna room? but it doesn’t work, its useless.
Parking, before, if you come home after 9pm, you would be out of luck trying to find a parking spot and would have to park outside the complex but these days, I guess a lot residents have moved out so there are plenty of parking spots.

Oh the memories…
i lived at these apartments for 2 years, 6months i had the apt by myself!
by far the cutest for the price. super close to campus & it was $ 999 monthly for a two bedroom two bath which were located upstairs with a large living room and decent size kitchen & patio.
the maint. guy is super duper nice and is around to help most of the time. alot of times hes not but thats cuz they use him at the other location so hes always busy
the girl who works in the office is sweet but totally absent minded sometimes but nevertheless super nice
the bathrooms ALL seem to have problems since i had lotsa friends who occcupy 4 different complex’s there.
plus the screens are a lil jacked up
once i had a gas leak and altho i called the emergency # no one was in sight. altho it was 3am i mean hello i could have sooo died
however once my window got shattered (dont be alarmed… ahem… i know who did it) they just came and fixed it no questions, no cost.
we were positioned right in front of the pool and the niiiice bbq grills there are huge canopys for the summer to study outside while getting me a tan and a sauna & jacuzzi plus the place is always clean and nice which was nice.
another downer??? parking becomes a BEEEYOTCH during the quarter i mean its insane and garages are an additional $ 50 hello we are students we cant afford that! and what else sucks??? there are a LOT of families that live there! WHY NEXT TO A COLLEGE CAMPUS i dont know but that means they prefer quiet environments… sorrry ill turn down my music and calm down while playing my wiii psh~
(btw we got the price when they were havin a special Dee H lived in the same complex SAME layout as mee but paid 1300 $ + sooo watch for the deals!!)
