    Ridiculous trash fee $121. When it used to be $10
    Denise R.

    I leased at Avena Jefferson for one year, and unfortunately, the experience was very disappointing. The property is fairly new, but it's gone down hill fast due to poor management. There's a major issue with dog waste everywhere, and management does nothing about it. Although the property is supposed to be non-smoking, residents smoke constantly -- including marijuana -- especially after business hours. The pool area becomes chaotic at night with people drinking, making a mess, and even throwing up in trash cans. Parking is another big problem -- there's no guest parking, you pay extra for your car sticker. The EV chargers are outrageously expensive; I was once billed over $400 for charging, even though they were free when we moved in. Inside the apartments, the flat paint gets dirty very quickly, and the carpet looks cheap and worn. The windows are not sealed and you will get ALOT of dirt from outside. The walls are extremely thin, and you can hear everything from your neighbors. They also add unnecessary charges -- a solar account that was never activated, trash fees that went from $10 to $121, and unclear billing practices overall. On move-out, expect excessive charges that make no sense. They also require you to use Jetty, but it doesn't actually cover anything. There's only one cleaning lady for all the units, but she does an amazing job and is always polite. I never once saw pest control during my entire lease. Trash bins are a mess! neighbors down stairs never picked up dog feces and we had crazy amount of flies and mosquitoes. The mailboxes have been broken into multiple times. The only positives were Fernando and the cleaning lady -- both were kind, helpful, and professional. Fernando was great from the day I signed my lease until I moved out. Unfortunately, they're the only good part of Avena Jefferson.

    Living at Avila Apartments in Menifee has been one of the worst rental experiences I've ever had…read more Don't be fooled by the nice exterior or staged model units -- the reality is a completely different story. Management is unresponsive, disorganized, and frankly, rude. Maintenance requests are ignored for weeks (if they're even acknowledged), and when someone finally shows up, the work is usually rushed or incomplete. You're better off fixing things yourself or just living with the problem. Noise is another major issue -- the walls are paper thin. You'll hear every word your neighbors say, every dog bark, and every footstep above you. If you value sleep or privacy, this is not the place for you. The rent is ridiculously high for what you get. They tack on hidden fees and raise the rent with zero justification. And good luck getting your deposit back -- they'll find every excuse to charge you for "damages" that were already there when you moved in. Parking is a nightmare, trash is constantly overflowing, and don't even get me started on the security -- or lack thereof. Packages go missing often, and the gates? Rarely work. In addition they rip you off when moving out with fees that are not legitimate. Save yourself the headache and keep looking. Avila Apartments might look like a luxury complex from the outside, but it's all smoke and mirrors. Living here was a huge regret and the leasing staff is condescending and rude (Chrissy and Crystal).

We had to go ask how much our rent is for April on the first since we are being charge 10 extra days. They gave my brother a rent amount on a freakin post it. Not an outline number on what we are paying for. He had to come tell me, mind you I live an hour away now and we split rent. Came back on the 3rd and they gave him a new total! At that time I was not around to give him check. We ran out of time and we had to take it the 4th. But they said they will be charging late fee. How the hell can they do that when they just gave us correct amount on the 3rd? They said "oh renters insurance kicked it" Wouldn't that information be useful to us?? So dumb! Now the day of leaving "oh don't forget your clickers to the gate". I have to drive an hour away for this thing. They couldn't remind me on the 3rd on what to bring. It's just sad how they don't try to help residents. But just willing to charge for everything. The last apartment had a checkout list and even let us know our last move out date. Reminder if we were going to renew or put 30 days. They wanted our businesss. Made us feel good about being there! Complete opposite here!! I can't stress enough. Don't go looking to stay here!

Naturally, I was a little embarrassed because I wasn't expecting them quite yet (my own fault) and normally I would have made sure my place was ready for "guests". Silly, because I know they've seen much worse than my little mess. Nonetheless, my ring picked up on the two of them collaborating on my issue with my washing machine, you can tell they are great team players but it also picked up on them being so sweet to my obnoxious crying dogs lol. I ended up chiming in through my camera and apologizing for any mess and my crybaby dogs and they assured me it was no problem at all, walked me through their process to fix my issue and assured me all was taken care of. I sent them off with some girl scout cookies and a thank you. Super professional, kind guys! To touch on some of the other reviews I see, I have never seen homeless people in the neighborhood, and the grounds are very well kept. Some people have trouble with realistic expectations in apartment living, but no matter where you are, gated/not gated, security/no security- if people want to roam, they will. If residents want to make a mess out of the community, unfortunately they will. I feel like the onsite team does a great job maintaining the community and I'm grateful for their efforts. My son and I are up and out of the door before the sun comes up and I have never felt unsafe here. We have friendly interactions with our neighbors and it's an overall good experience coming home here. Location is so convenient- everything is within a mile away, freeway access is so close. Just wanted to shout out to the team and put some positivity in this review section, it's a great place to live :)

The appliances are of good quality and repairs are made promptly, often on the same day. I doubt I ever waited more than 2-3 days for a repair, and the maintenance team does an excellent job every time. The grounds are kept clean. The landscapers keep the grounds beautiful. It's very quiet. I only needed to make one noise complaint during all those years. The security patrol showed up promptly and took care of it. In the few times we needed to report any kind of rule breaking or disturbance by a neighbor, the office staff was totally responsive. Unlike many other complexes, they never made us feel like we were a nuisance. Instead, they were grateful that we were looking out to help maintain the quality of life in the community. They're on top of everything and always take care of whatever issues come up. They have 2 nice pools and a decently stocked gym. Plenty of guest parking. The office staff always has a friendly greeting and is extremely helpful and efficient. They go above and beyond. If you're in the market for an apartment in Temecula, you won't do better than to get one here! I wish I still lived there but had to relocate for work.
