To anyone considering moving in, don't. Take your money and run. I never write reviews, but my experience here was so exceptionally disappointing that it has compelled me to warn anyone who even considers this place as their next housing option. The management of this apartment is astoundingly incompetent. In my entire life, I have never met a team who is so incapable of handling even the most basics of their jobs. There have been countless administrative errors; their email response time is terrible; and while their maintenance gets the job done, it is always at the cost of causing other problems in your unit which are extremely inconvenient or straight up extremely costly. Altogether, their mistakes have cost me essentially one month's rent worth of bills. All of the above-mentioned errors are extremely costly to the renter, yet they refuse to take responsibility for even when confronted with irrefutable evidence. In the manager's own words, my experience is very common and "happens to a lot of other renters here," yet they brush all responsibility under the rug by repeated ignoring, then straight up refusing, to handle the situation with no credible explanation as to why. In addition, they said that my lease is three days longer than what is written in my contract, and since rent is proprated, that would have been another error costing me hundreds. The front desk lady lied twice to me about the manager's availabilty when I tried to see her in person. All of their emails have countless grammatical and spelling errors, as well as general nonsensical wording that shows their absolute lack of care and attention to their jobs. Attached is an email I received from the manager in response to an erroneous three day extension of my lease contract which I never agreed to nor signed off on. I have attached as demonstration of the quality of work ethic which you can expect to encounter if you choose to live here. I have already put more effort into writing this review than any member of their management staff puts into any email that I have ever received from them. No words can express how deeply disappointed and amazed I am that this quality of work warrants employment.

I would like to share my 2 years of living at 1879 at grid so that new tenants may get some useful information. First of all, I moved in when this community opened in 2010 when JLB was the management. My overall experience was overall satisfactory, but in late 2021, RPM took over the JLB. When JLB was the management, they cleaned the grills and community places every day. But now RPM never cleans the grill. Another change was they tow cars without warnings. I had my parking sticker on the passenger side, but still, it got towed saying this should be shown in the front window. Would this something they can give the warning, instead of actual towing? Lastly, I moved out due to re-location. I got the bill of ~$1600 that includes carpet cleaning ~$450, Painting ~$594, and Unreturned key FOBs $150 (even though I put my fobs on the countertop, Picture attached), and Changing blind exchange fee ~$320. Yes, after 2 years of living, some normal wear and tear is expected and may need professional cleaning. But I am very upset and surprised with this bill that put 100% charge on the tenant. Even, on my move-in checklist, I marked there are several carpet staining which I didn't bother since this doesn't cause any trouble on routine daily living (Picture attached). Also, yes, some areas in the walls need a touch-up paint, but I don't understand why I am asked to pay the paint cost of the whole unit, not partially. Overall, my living experience was good and the community does have many facilities including a swimming pool, lounge, and fitness center. But after the management changed, it seems their goal is to make a profit from the tenants. I just wanted to share my experience so that future tenants who may consider this community should know what to expect.

Thank you for your response. It has been a week since the review was posted and I've received no response. Again I am willing to pay these charges if the claimed charges weren't present prior to the move in pictures. I understand it is a third party entity enforcing these charges so it's not fair to review the apartment establishment so low, considering I would've rated my living experience solely with 5 stars. However, the communication has been nonexistent and this matter has been postponed too long by RPM. I am requesting simply clarification on these charges to get this matter handled with and they are unable to provide that. I'm forced to express my honest experience through the Better Business Bureau. Attached are the emailed automated replies with no human response. Dates shown

I don't usually write reviews, but this complex has been great! Its usually pretty quite, there are…read morea lot of trees and the units, though older (70's), are built with concrete making them great for keeping the summer heat out and preventing bugs. Vacated units are going through a remodel phase that brings them up to date with granite counters and stainless steel appliances.. I received brand new black appliances with my unit which was not remodeled/ They also provide valet trash service, are big dog friendly, and have enforced dedicated parking. I am very happy with the service this place provides, Ashley, Aubree, and their new guy, Payton, go out of their way to address my concerns. In most cases I receive same day maintenance service. For example, I showed Ashley my recent electricity bill that had skyrocketed way above the normal. I suspected the a/c unit and just expected them diagnose it and fix it, but she immediately put in a maintenance request on replacing the whole unit. I am very surprised and grateful for such a supportive staff! I have even recommended a co-worker to this place and she liked it so much she moved in the next month!

Don't move through this propetry they had really poor management they are scammers when I moved in…read morethere they game a dirty unit with some issues and reported and they never did anything and top of that I talked to 3 different properties managers and they did not fixed also the corporate office sent 2 inspectors and I did tell the issues and they ignored me too and top of that in the last 2 months that I lived there suddenly the unit got insfested of roaches and mosquitos and call through the corporate office trying to talk to the area manager Mrs. Martinez and she never call me back so if you don't want to waste your money don't move trough this property they careless about their residents.

I did a tour for this place it was mold all in the bathroom I asked was that going to be fixed or…read moretook down because I had a baby they replied yes everything will be cleaned before you move in ... I moved in 2 days later the apartment was the same still dirty wasn't swept or moped and there was still mold I went right to the office and complained .. they said someone will come out and fix the apartment up and remove the mold .. I left my apartment because I didn't want my baby around MOLD .. (there was also lots of roaches on move in day ). After I came back to see if the mold was gone I walked in on the guy spray painting over the mold not doing anything to fix it besides spray painting over it .. I immediately asked for my money back and to move out since we haven't even been there for 48h they kept begging for another chance and to move our units so we gave them another chance and for them to move our units ... They moved our units across the street at there other property called BUENA VISTA so it's BUENA VILLA AND BUENA VILLA .. not even a week pass there was baby mice running all around our apartment and I know this because I have cameras around my apartment because I have a 4 month old baby , they did nothing to fix the problem and now I'm patiently waiting to see if I can be refunded 1500 dollars which now I feel like was all a scam because they knew they had mice and roaches DONT MOVE HERE ITS VERY VERY BAD , I should have listen to the neighbors that was also about to move out .. they are very nasty and there POOLS never open they are very rude and it seems they are racist also .

It is a decent place to live apart from the rent being cheap, there is a very good family…read moreatmosphere,
