Sage Canyon Apartments

***update: So today we recieved a notice «place garbage inside dumpster» and says that basically if we leave our trash outside we will be fined $ 25.00. Okay so really? You have people walking around looking at apartments that has trash on our patio just so you can fine us 25 bucks!!! Seriously? Yes i still leave my trash outside and when i have the time (i have 2 kids) ill take it out and it really doesnt help when the dumpsters are far from my place. But still i take it out when i have the time to do so. Its stupid if your going around seeing who has trash in front of their apartment, what if we arent home as much? And speaking about trash since we pay our own trash bill how does that work? How do you know how much trash we put in the dumpsters? It should be a set price now but of course every month it goes up or down. My family doesnt have alot of trash so it should be low but when i open my bill its more than last month. This place is really getting ridiculous trying to fine everyone for every little thing.
Like when we got another notice on our door about pets and if they see «poop» or a «mess» from a dog theyll fine you. We dont have a dog, so i think its stupid to leave a pet notice on our door. Like how would you know what dog shitted on the ground and how would you know who the owner was? You wouldnt cos it could be anyone.
And its like every time i call to complain nobody in the office ever answers and i always call right when they open!!! I’m glas our lease is up in august im so done with this place charging for every little thing they can. Avoid this place its so ridiculous and ghetto and i doubt theyll change anything ive mentioned before

My Hubby, Son and I moved here in March 2015.
First of all Pro’s :
— I love the Girls in the Office, Jamie, christina and Helena. ALWAYS super helpful, friendly, they take care of things quick & care actually about the residents in the complex. I can only say good stuff about these Girls. Jamie in particular always had my back and I thank you for it!
— Our Maintenance Crew is awesome and never is there a day they don’t smile when they drive past you. One of them is my fellow European citizen. If they get called to a Maintenance emergency they deliver work fast and use care as well as they don’t leave trash behind.
— Parking is good when you have an assigned place to park. Otherwise it’s sometimes really a struggle to find one for my hubby in particular.
— Apartment was clean upon moving in and will be given back in the same «polished» condition. Once we decide to buy a house. It’s a great place to save up a little money.
— Usually the Complex is clean and taken care of such as trimming trees, cutting grass, watering etc. Sometimes «pigs» as I call them just throw their trash in the grass or even worse right in front of the New containers we just received a couple of days ago. It stinks and is a mess.
I wonder how these people live when they can’t even lift the lid of a trash container to throw trash in… really disgusting.
— The gym is in good enough condition for a lil cardio but needs weights and such. Otherwise it’s useful.
— Pool and Pool area itself are nice and spaceous but need some shade like those big sun shades. Sitting in the Cali sun is going to cook you in the summer.
— People that know Me around here know about my Golden Retriever Blue also xD I want to apologize if he has ever scared you.
When we go for walks he gets LOVE from all sides, kisses and hugs are the regular. This is seriously a Dog Friendly community.
Close by is aswell the Margarita Dog Park where you can meet lots of new Furry Friends and Human Friends.
I have nothing bad to say about Sage Canyon Apartments anymore at all.
Eventhough last year (2015) we and a lot of other neighbors had some issues with our Downstairs Neighbors (we are aswell a more quiet family) they turned this block into the Ghetto for a little while and I wasn’t even sure if we would be going to renew the lease for another Year honestly.
It felt so weird all of a sudden around here, it was loud all the freaking dang time, police was here on the regular until they finally «got» moved out.
And Now We’ve got NEW Neighbors and I love them. Considerate and Polite
So if you are looking to Rent here and save up a lil bit of money then this is the place.

Sage canyon was our first home.
We were in a sienna-​2/​2…
At the time prices were great and affordable for a low income family. I wasn’t sure if I should do 2 or 3 stars!
So here we go.
We’ll start with the cons.
–The inside was certainly dated and the cupboards made my dishes smell horrible but on a side note they added a nice mocha paint color to the far wall of our dining room and kitchen, as well as some nice vinyl wood floors.
–Our carpet was gross upon moving in, but it was nothing a few swipes with the vacuum couldn’t handle. Filled my vacuum up just doing the living room! People before us certainly had an animal (I have two so I get it).
–Everything is painted off white so it’s impossible to match the colors to fix your scuffs upon moving out.
— we had one incident off theft of our water delivery, in the defense of the perpetrator I was out of state and my house probably looked empty. Not an excuse to steal though.
–Unless you call 911 or the emergency line (which the number they gave us at the time, was not working) for something it must not have been that serious and there’s nothing they can do…
–we had some friends move into the community and mention is and never got our referral money but that’s okay, there are bigger things to worry about.
Pros
–Parking is amazing! So many uncovered spots Conveniently located near all the apartment buildings
–The pool was always great. I frequented the pool a lot. Hot tub was broke for a while but they completely redid it and it was nice.
–Children would play out in the street at all hours, which I thought was a good thing. They felt safe to do so and their parents must’ve felt the same so that was refreshing.
–Overall the apartment home itself was perfect and cozy for a first timer.
–When we left I cleaned and cleaned and that was recognized, I paid no fees, and got back our full deposits.
–We actually broke our lease, and for our circumstances they did not make us pay a lease break.
–Lisa and Meghan are the bomb.
In all, they are great little homes. I hope they continue to increase rent so they can start remodeling the outdated apartments and accommodate, let’s say, «friendlier» tenants.
If for some reason we ever needed a home ASAP, I would consider this facility again.

Ok… so once again, CRiME… a car was stolen (12/1/15)right next to mine… the morons who took the car couldn’t even fck up right & ended up crashing it into the wall still inside Sage Canyon, the ghetto of Temecula…& they wanna raise the rent… pfft someone needs to give MG properties a wake up call… because every criminal activity that happens I don’t think they’re aware of… or they just don’t care… MG properties & Ramon Cordova might as well say, «Eff you… PAY ME!!!» To our faces… BTW thanks for the security patrol as if that hasn’t been tried before. we as the residents were placed on a curfew & weren’t even allowed to sit outside on our steps or front patio. Nice. Just because our cars were being broken into, we got treated like the criminals.

I wanted to like these apartments. The woman that gave us a tour of the model-​apartment was a little strange, she worked with a different property and was only working weekends or something like that she said and she was not at all informative or knowledgable in regards to estimated cost of utilities, explaining that some apartments do not have decks, etc. but then when we returned, we met with Jamie who is incredibly friendly and professional. For the timeline we were working with and the price, Sage Canyon seemed to be our best bet.
When we moved in our dishwasher did not work, as well as the shower in master suite and various outlets as well. After about 5 days, most of these things had been addressed and resolved, though all outlets in every bedroom do not securely hold the power chords.
The oven does not have a window for viewing and also, when using even the stove top: the oven door becomes incredibly hot. (clearly, the cheapest appliances possible go into these units). This is incredibly dangerous, as we have small children.
Not only are the walls paper thin (you can hear your neighbor sneeze, laugh, cough) — the windows are thin glass. This is problematic for two reasons: energy efficiency (for a unit that is less than 900 sq. ft we are paying almost $ 300 a month in electricity to keep the unit at 78 degrees???) and because the parking lots are constantly noisey Monday-​Sunday at all hours of the night. It is now a «norm» to be awoken at 1am on a Wednesday to the sound of blaring music, as some dude will just sit in his car with the windows down talking to friends, as well as the various domestic disputes and people arguing over people parking in their spot.
My daughter was outside playing and witnessed a man spit in his girlfriends face.
One night, at 11:45pm on a Tuesday, a woman rang my doorbell wondering why I parked my car in her spot? She had the wrong apartment, but woke my kids up so that was wonderful.
You cannot sit in the grass outside, as there is always dog poop everywhere.
The laundry rooms are disgusting. Always dirty. People prop the doors open and leave garbage and «free food» out. It’s awful.
I absolutely hate it here. We were new to the area and had no idea what we were getting ourselves into. If I would go back in time, I would have lived in a hotel for a month until an apartment somewhere else was available. The extra $ 200 a month is worth it to actually feel safe and at home. It makes me so sad I’m stuck in this lease agreement.
Do not move here!
UPDATE: I just wanted to share our experience in the last six days at Sage Canyon: we have seen the cops here 4 out of six days. On Monday, as my children and I were returning home, we witnessed two residents as they were being put in the back of a police car. This evening– 3 nights later, as we are returning home from dance class, an officer (first spotted by my children: ‘Mom? Is everything okay? Why are the police here again?’- sits parked in front of the complex, as we are exiting the car, a second officer pulls in. They are still here.
This is NOT a family friendly place, I mean, I can’t see how anyone with a family or not, would choose to be exposed to such things on a daily basis. I will repeat it like a mantra: DO NOT MOVE HERE. It IS NOT a safe environment!!!
UPDATE: a black and white cat keeps coming onto my patio and peeing on everything! DISGUSTING!

My family and I moved into this place a little over a month ago and I have to say that I have not a single complaint. I know how negligent some complexes and their staff can be, but not this place. We needed something fixed, they were at it the next day. Jamie is super nice and helpful. They made a mistake in how much our rent would be and honored it. Not many places will do that. It wasn’t the biggest discount, but it’s the principle that counts. Not to mention they even provide valet trash services. This place has made me very happy in knowing that my family is happy and safe here. My only complaint has nothing to do with the complex itself, but the rude children that parents obviously don’t pay attention to and just throw outside without having taught them any manners.

I just went to put in My application yesterday With Jamie. She was really nice and helpfull. The apartments are somehow small but still reasonable size. The price is good too! I will definitely recommend considering this complex for people to go look at when looking for a new home!

On the tour only-​Meghan was so nice — so far I loved it! Beautiful grounds and new paint and floors. I could live here :)

Oh wow and the complaints just go on and on. I lived here with my daughter about 9 months. We were hardly even home. One night we returned home ready to just go to bed only to find an inch of water all through our whole apt. The water heater had burst and ruined everything. I called thev“24 hour” maintenance line only to get a voicemail thats not set up yet. We had no choice but to sleep in there til morning. Anyway, I had to miss work the next day since I had to wait for the office to open at 8:00 and needed to be at work at 6:00 in San Diego. Then we were totally displaced since I complained I wanted a mold test before we stay there another night. They moved us into the model for 2 weeks with no tv, no internet and couldnt go back in to get anything. It was a nightmare! Apt. 37A be aware. I called the so called company they used and there was no mold test at all. They lied to me. Mold was growing around my bedroom window. I couldnt move fast enough. Beware they are liars!!!

These apartments are not significantly cheaper than others in the area, and are not worth saving the few extra dollars a month. First and foremost, there is a serious roach problem. They are infested with roaches, and the staff will not do anything to compensate for this. They will simply «add you to the list» for the exterminator. However, this makes the problem worse and the roaches will keep multiplying. It is completely unsanitary and hardly livable. Without elaborating further on this disgusting problem, there is also several other problems. Children run around screaming until about midnight every night. Items have been stolen from our front porch (we are upstairs!) The laundromat is overpriced and will ruin your clothes. Save yourself the trouble and stay away from these apartments.

I recently moved in here and I really enjoy it. The people at the leasing office were very nice (specifically Megan & Gear) and helped my girlfriend and I through the move-​in process. My neighbor is a nice guy and the people I’ve met so far were very friendly, while I was moving stuff in one of the residents even told me to stop by his apartment if I needed anything! The only issue I’ve had in two months is the water shut off for a few hours because some third party company hit the water line. For being barely more expensive than Temecula Gardens, you get another br/​ba and the environment seems MUCH better. If you’re young and looking for an inexpensive place to live with nice people that isn’t sketchy, I recommend here.
