Maintenance requests were resolved very quickly and appropriately besides pest control. When my…read moreneighbor moved, I began to see roaches in my unit. I submitted multiple requests for spraying, but the treatments were ineffective. I even purchased my own spray, which didn't help either. The manager mentioned she sees 1 or 2 in her own unit every now and then so I believe there might be an issue in each building. It was impossible to seal the water heater vents so its likely that the roaches are migrating between units. On another note, the apartment grounds stayed neat, quiet, and relatively safe.

Let me start off by saying this was my first apartment experience and I should have never moved in…read morehere. I lived here for over a year and had to deal with so many negatives. To start when I first moved in the carpet of my loft was disgusting. You could see they just had it steamed but not changed because the stains started coming up soon after walking on it. Big dark stains! Things in the apartment slowly started breaking or messing up. The circulation of the AC is horrid, it stays super hot in there and the AC was horribly loud! Almost like a water cooler. The blinds were those cheap blinds that fall apart as soon as you open them. The shower doors stopped sliding open! The toilet broke on me multiple times. I had to deal with neighbors fighting. One night there was two girls fist fighting on the lawn! I got to say that was extremely ghetto. The security was good for nothing because I had my recyclables trash can that was on my porch stolen! I woke up one morning and it was gone! The maintenance people are horrible, they would come and even mess with stuff I had on my porch! And one time when someone was on the roof doing who knows what, he was letting water drain over the sides of the roof and it went straight onto my porch where my plants were and other things I had there! To top it all off, the landlord Lori, was fine in the beginning, I was always super respectful and nice to her, but in the end she turned out to be a completely different person than what I originally thought. First off she was the most nosy person I've ever come in contact with. She was always starring and even bothering my company I would have come over asking them who they were here to see! I'm sorry, but if you pay rent you have the right to your own privacy and not have to deal with greeting the landlord all the time, that's not in the contract. She ended up terminating my tenancy for NO REASON AT ALL. I even called and asked her, there was zero reason, probably because I didn't kiss her you know what all the time. And she had ZERO heart about terminating my tenancy. Overall it was a really negative and creepy experience having to deal with all of that and her. It was a blessing in disguise to be out of there that's for sure I live in a normal peaceful place now. I was warned by someone else that lived there previously to not live there because of Lori, I should have listened.

She regularly checks to make sure things are going well, and if there is an issue she's very quick to fix whatever it is! We are located about 3 miles away from Costco, WinCo,the mall, and Walmart so you don't really need to drive far for whatever you may need, as well as about 3 miles from the college, so great for people going to CSUB. We've never once felt unsafe, and we came here from Lancaster where you would lock your pets up if someone came down the road. Overall it's a great place to live!

The apartments were well managed when Anthony was the manager, ever since the new manager Jenny…read moretook over, it has been a mess. Work orders have been lagging behind for weeks, often times with management forgetting about the appointment. When I moved out a huge chunk of my deposit was taken out to repair things that were there prior to moving in and written in lease agreement. The apartments are old and there were lots of spots on the carpets, dings, and the carpet was old and falling apart, all things that were not fixed prior to my tenancy, and I got charged for those after I moved out. There were even dead larvae/alive bugs in the multiple layers of kitchen flooring they had under the stove, I was not the only apartment battling this. Enjoy throwing away food. I would not recommend this place again. If you do move in, take pictures of everything, they do not pay attention to lease agreement.

Regardless of what that person's habits or lifestyle just happen to be, -- they could be smokers, burn horrific incense, listen to loud music, stay up until 5AM - you have to live with them, because it's not two separate dwellings but one two- story home. The upsides are that the property seems safe and all of the staff are helpful and professional.

Also great pool and amenities!

I loved it here. There are very few nice and clean apartment complexes in Bakersfield and this was…read moredefinitely one of the best. Very clean (felt new), great finishes, great amenities - my apartment had the best view of the pool, was a spacious loft and really felt like an oasis in a town that is just so-so overall. Amazing place to come home to every night. Additionally, the staff was wonderful. Leasing staff was always easy to deal with. The maintenance team was quick, friendly and respectful. At one point my father needed to stay with me as he was very sick in a down cycle with kidney cancer. I was out of town for work and far from home, but he was freezing in the apartment with the heat turned all the way up. After hours the staff brought him a pair of space heaters to make sure he was comfortable and it was appreciated more than I could ever express. Park Square was a great three years and a highlight of my time in Bakersfield. Im not usually one to review places, but I feel obligated for how well I was treated and how wonderful the apartment experience was. Couldn't recommend it enough and can only imagine 2-3 other places in all of Bakersfield even coming close to matching the experience - and most important the cleanliness. I need a place that feels clean and not 'lived in' and you'll get that here...

I figured mine wasn't an isolated event, these reviews confirm it. They even said I owed extra for stuff that had been broken before I moved in, a missing refrigerator drawer, loose floor threshold piece, a cracked blind, etc. And by the time I got the bill I was too far away in another country to even fight it. These guys are complete scammers when people move out, they know what they are doing is wrong.

Yes, you have neighbors and sometimes have to deal with the noise that comes with sharing walls, same as any other apartment complex, but when it comes to the complex as a whole, the office staff was always helpful, respectful and responded to requests in a timely manner and with a good attitude. The service technician, Harvey, is just awesome. Really good at what he does, and is one of those guys you just want to chat with because he's nice. The only reason we are moving out is because we finally found a house to buy. After 2.5 years of living at Watermark, I can easily say I'd highly recommend. It's clean, it's safe, it's quiet (outside of the things you deal with at any apartment complex that ever existed), and the people are good. Thank you Watermark staff for giving my wife and I a nice place to live until we found our forever home.

While waiting outside for management to return from lunch, I met a lovely elderly woman who is a resident; that's were my good experience ended. As soon as I walked through the office doors I was greeted by a snarky mouth apartment manager who drilled me regarding rental history and income. Like I mentioned I am a business professional and informed her that my income was more than sufficient along with good rental history prior to being a homeowner. The manager went on to say again "if one of these requirements are not met you'll need to get approval from our corporate office". I've never been drilled so hard just to inquire about a rental. Maybe it was the Raider shirt and hat I was wearing or maybe it was my brown skin. whatever it was I wished the lovely lady i met outside a great day and walked out. Funny thing is the snarky mouth apartment manager looked at me crazy after I told her she was being rude. Good luck to any residents or anyone having to deal with that nasty attitude. if I seen her stranded on the side of the road on a dark highway I wouldn't waste my time to trying to help, people like her would probably think I'm trying to harass her instead of help.
