PRO's: I responded to their ad on Craigslist and have been living here for two years. It's very convenient to a La Fetra elementary and Sandburg Middle schools, Citrus community college and Azusa Pacific University. Within walking distance is Vons for groceries, Blockbuster video, CVS, Wells Fargo, Del Taco and downtown Glendora. The neighborhood is calm and quiet and the neighbors say hello which is nice. You share a two car garage with a neighbor and have an off street parking space since there is no overnight street parking in Glendora.
There are a few families with kids in the neighborhood but they are not disruptive. there is a portable (hidden) basketball hoop across the street. Dogs may enjoy the grassy courtyard area to do their business. I use the laundry facilities whenever I need them which is great if you are an early morning or late night cleaner like myself. The utilities are not too high and repairs are usually made in a reasonable amount of time. I never hear my neighbors through the walls which is great! (I've had worse at other properties) Thanks neighbors!! The managers are a husband/wife team. Victor (the husband) is the live-in/ on-site maintenance man is who I have primarily dealt with after moving in. He knows your name and is personable and easy to communicate with. If something needs to be done and he is unable to do it, he brings in an expert and gets the job done!! He is a straight shooter and tells it like it is. I can appreciate his being upfront and honest.
CONS: The phone number listed is incorrect. It's 626-963-7129. The pool is across the street, so if you're going swimming you have to walk down the street to get there. Jackie Nava (the wife) has been a total pain the rear end since I moved here. She is like a bi-polar two headed wildebeest. I understand we are all human and have "off" days so I thought I caught her on a bad day. Almost every day I interact with her it seems as if she is having an off day. She tries to be pleasant, but I can clearly see she is genuine with some resident and feels the need to be her true self (fake and discourteous) with other people. Could it be she does not care for some residents?? She has been rude to me and my guests and I have no appreciation for poor customer service and a diva attitude from a place/person I am patronizing. Example 1: My guests who had never come over before were in the courtyard searching for the correct apartment number she questioned them asking "what are they doing here?". They came to visit!! Her approach was all wrong and she should have asked if there was something she could help them with or some other helpful response. Treating people like trespassers is not nice. Example 2: Her son a "rock-star" type, has band practice ((loud)) in the pool area, which I don't mind, but when I brought more than two people to the pool area as my guests she pointed out the "guest limit". Funny how that NEVER applies to her son and his 5-6 rock band friends/guests. Example 3: The final straw for me was when my roommate tried to go swimming and didn't have the new key to get in. Although Jackie has known that I've had a roommate for well over a year, although she has seen and talked to my roommate on several occasions, she told my rent paying roommate was not a resident therefore was NOT allowed to go swimming!! What the heck??? My roommate can park her car on the property, can use the laundry facility, can pay rent and call in service requests but can't use the pool?? Her husband had just seen my roommate in the pool a few days earlier and he didn't say anything at that time which tells me Jackie is a control freak with a pompous attitude. When I talked to Jackie about it, she lied and said it didn't happen. (Another resident whom I saw at the pool after the incident said they heard the whole thing) Really Jackie?? My rent is paid on time every month, we are a good tenants who have caused zero problems and I take pride in making compliance a priority. What reason does Jackie have to be such a creep??? I will never know because I do not plan to renew my lease.
Overall, the community is nice but the rent has gotten way too high over the past year (there is a 2 bedroom/ 2 bath unit available now and they're asking $1475 for it) I pay $1250 so the rate difference is ridiculous for new people to move in. That's just my opinion. The apartments across the street are just as nice, just as quiet, have a pool on the property not across the street!! I hope that helps. Good luck in your search. read more
