The Hills of Diamond Bar

I have been living in the complex for more than 8 years and loved this place. I moved here because its very kids friendly, Kids can play outside and you can watch them from the porch. Very safe for the kids. Great retreat area to entertain your guests and family during any season. The staff is extremely helpful. The maintenance staff is very friendly. I am thankful to the Brit and her staff, they are very professional. My teenager kids can walk down to the Starbucks for snacks and beverages. The area is very close to the supermarkets.

Living here for a while now. Found this out online when looking for a place in the area. The staff is great make sure to talk to Jeff or Niko, they are a great bunch. If you need anything just give them a call they are happy to help out.
Like previous people mention don’t listen to everything you read online it’s a good place to live very safe and close to many other big cities!

I’m a current resident in here. This is (dust, stuffs from carpet) what I get from every three days after I vacuum the carpet of just my room. The carpet is so bad, it will easily trigger your allergy or disturbance in respiration. Every night I can listen my lung is having some kind of sound, but by leaving out the door I’ll be ok. Can’t stop coughing, so bad. Somebody need to really seriously check the quality of the pre-​installed carpet, and if the building contains sort of asbestos materials.

I lived here for few months only, but it was my best experience. I loved schools-​they are really very good. People who live here and office staff, very close to supermarket, bus. I am really miss this apartment.

I’ve lived in the Hills of Diamond Bar for over 6 years now. Like any resident I’ve had some maintenance issues that needed to be addressed. Brit and all the staff have always been receptive to getting any issues I’ve had resolved in a professional and timely manner. The property is kept clean and it’s a nice place to live (especially with some of the remodeling that’s taken place over the last year). The local elementary school is Maple Hill which is a GREAT school and has bus pickup in front of the main entrance of the property. Chapparral Jr. High and DBHS are where the older kids attend (public schools). I do recommend this place to anyone apartment hunting in Diamond Bar.

The water is turned off to my building at least once a week for multiple hours, the kitchens are so small that only one person can fit in it at a time, if your apartment faces the wrong direction you are unable to get satelite and are stuck with Time Warner Cable (which is bad), the blinds in the bedrooms are basically useless and the sun comes right through them and don’t you dare put anything up in your windows to block the sun like a rational human being would do, because you will get harrased by by the office staff telling you take down the «unsightly material».
The gym the boast about is not a gym at all, it is a small room with two treadmills and knock-​off version of a bow flex machine in it.

The apartment itself is good and so is the area, but I’m not leaving this place happy.
The year that I’ve lived here, we’ve had amenities closed to be «updated» and had to deal inconveniences due to construction all over the place.
I lived in the building in the far back, and I’ve awoken to a relentless jack hammer at 8 in the morning on multiple days. We’ve had our water shut off many times a month with not even a full 24hrs notice. I’ve broken my toe nail on a piece of wood laid out to bridge a gap that we had to walk over because they took out our cement walkway.
My favorite was when the sewage would come out of a pipe near the front of our door. There would be urine, toilet paper, and feces spilled out on our sidewalk. This has happened three times. Each time, the toilet paper and fecal matter wasn’t cleaned up, just left to the side. And seeing as that it happened multiple times, it shows that whoever was contracted to clean it wasn’t thinking of a permanent fix to it.
I’ve had my car blocked in by construction vehicles (which are usually nice enough to move), and many parking spaces have been blocked by storage trailers. To be fair, it hasn’t made parking problematic, but when we moved in the complex was beautiful, but full of eye sores due to construction.
The construction was sometimes very intrusive, having people working on our patio. Blowing all sorts or dirt and twigs into the tiny crack above where the A/​C unit is. They’ve also had to replace our whole door, so I would be eating lunch watching some guy sit in my entrance way install a new door with a giant boot print on it.
Unrelated to management, because of the construction, someone was able to break into our apartment through our kitchen window in the middle of the day and wasn’t questioned at all because he was dressed like he could’ve been a construction worker. Luckily we were able to catch him because he was leaving our apartment while we were coming back home. Strange for the nice city of Diamond Bar. Also, a water pipe had been stolen for its metal and left us without water for six hours.
Had we known that we’d be paying about $ 1500 to live in the middle of a loud, ugly construction spot we might’ve reconsidered living here. We were getting excited when the beautiful zen garden was finished in front of our building, but a week later we got a 60 day notice to leave. No invitation to the leasing office to be offered another apartment in the same complex. I guess they don’t want our business anymore.
Like I said, the apartment itself is comfortable and the area is nice. But management needs to step up their game. Every time I see them showing the apartment next to mine to potential residents, I want to tell them my experience, because construction isn’t 100% done just yet.

Overall is not bad.
Good stuff:
Leasing center provides good services, they even work on Sunday.
My wife and I keep unit clean, no holes on the wall, after finishing contract, we retrieved high percentage of deposit back.
Stuff need to be improved
Trash sometimes overflow.
Only one valid parking lot
When they were having construction, they stop water often, sometimes forgot recover water heater or washer back. And when working person finish job in my balcony, they left nails there (dangerous)

This place is worst place to live old building no centerl Ac dirt all over staff in the office like thief when you go to do lease very nice when lease done they behave like they don’t care don’t listen we have to listen to them what ever its I just want tell every one don’t waist your hard earn money here go some where ealse this like pice of shit management

–old apartments
–fire station right across the apartment complex and it can be really loud sometimes
–countless hard copy notices from the complex at your door every other day
–tiny small gym
–lots of loud kids running around in the complex
–rent is not cheap compare to what you get

The community is okay but the management sucks! Management is so strict. You just have to do follow whatever their rules are with no flexibility and they won’t even apologize for their inconvenience whatsoever!

Lived here for about four years, parking is ok if you have one car anything more than one is a pain in the butt, the apartment is great has 2 pretty big rooms. The bathroom on the other hand is just ok. The tub has cracked twice even after they has attempted to fix it…
