Well, I've been looking for apartments since a good friend passed away and left me his puppy (but my apartment complex does not accept pets). I looked and looked, and finally I found a place that looked really nice and even got a tour. My mom went with me and really liked it as well, but the reviews I've been reading about it (Creekside Apartment Homes, Simi Valley, CA.) are not too good at all... of course you would expect both bad and good reviews, but I've mostly been able to read bad ones, and they all include insects, mold, break-ins, police being called, etc... Now, from my perspective, the way I see it is that there are 395 apartments in the complex, and obviously if someone does not take care of their place, they end up with bugs and mold. Also, in every place as big as this one, you can't help but have either noisy neighbors, or other stuff bugging you- that's what you usually get when you rent an apartment. The people there have been extremely nice, and it looks and feels like a pretty nice community... should I be worried and lose the $100 hold and $60 in app fees, or just give it a try anyway? Either way, it's just a 1 year lease. And another question- should I live upstairs rather than on the lower level? I've heard that there are more break-ins in 1st floor apartments than 2nd floor ones.......... Read More »
