Atwater Apartments

These prices are outrageous for having gates that stay open all day. The small stackable washer/dryer don’t work. Nobody picks up after their dog so it’s poop everywhere. The leasing office does a lot of “inspections” inside your home. And if you ever need something fixed don’t expect maintenance to come until days later. The property manager is rude like she don’t like her job so don’t go in the leasing office needing ANYTHING.

I actually wanted to leave 0 stars. From the cockroaches and pests, raccoons in the roofs, constant stray animals, VERY unprofessional leasing and management team, a “gated community”, but all the gates are ALWAYS open.. such a horrible experience renting w/ this community.

I will not be renewing my lease. this place does not care. i currently have No A/c and this is not the first time i have had issues. they do not repair anything. patching things up and not fixing it.

From the moment I arrived at Water Terrace apartments I knew this would be home.
I was greeted so warmly by the staff I felt an immediate friendship. They were accommodating in every way. I had a few special requests for my new home and they were able to help with everything.
I've been here awhile now and can continue to say how impressed I am with their service. Let me list a few examples;
1. Pest control comes on a quarterly basis to inspect and spray my unit for bugs. (I have yet to see... a bug in my apartment)
2. They have landscapers come out once/twice a week. As a result the property is so beautiful. It has a lake setting and with all the trimmed hedges and grass it is so serene.
3. The office is always doing parties and events for the residents. Just last month they were giving out wine and chocolates!!!
4. Apartment itself is newly renovated, with new appliances and new flooring, feels so nice and new.
5. I could go on, but I don't have a lot of time and I am sure you all are tired of reading this :)

In my 11 months I’ve been here I’ve seen police show up with guns drawn at a neighbor’s apartment (totally not exaggerating), constant domestic disputes with police being called, saw one car sitting on bricks (all 4 wheels gone!), gate often broken and several non residents crashing facilities to do music video shoots at the pool and tennis courts! I’m not making any of this up.
Now having said that, most times it’s pretty quiet which is great but if there is an issue with noise such as a... domestic dispute, the office expects YOU to file a police report.

The grounds are usually pretty clean. The staff is pretty good about making sure they’re keeping the place as tidy as they can. Landscaping can be improved however, lots of places that are just dirt and no grass. Doesn’t feel so luxurious when seeing this. Lots of trees in the community but when the lawn crews are on site, they may blow leaves from common areas like sidewalks but that doesn’t help stairs or patios.
They did recently pressure wash most sidewalks which was nice and are now re-paving the streets which should be nice when completed.

Rent increases. Not sure what “market rate” they use but by evaluating public information within a 1.5 mile radius for 2bd/2bth rentals over the last 12 months you’ll find that rent here is on the extremely high end to start with, then increases will hit 7-8% even though the average in even hot real estate markets is 3-5%. I understand they’re in business to make money but geez. If you’re looking for a place to live long term, you may get priced out before you know it. Read More
