4200 Paradise Apartments

I want to say nice things about this place but there is NO EXCUSE why I should have had to pay rent when I could not even take a comfortable shower. They gave me excuses about how the hot water was uncontrollable and kept trying to imply it was my own fault that I couldn’t get the temperature right. They were difficult and rude at times and lied on several occasions. The arms did go off a lot and there was a leaf blower early int he morning all the time to wake me up. When I moved in, they gave me an apartment with a lot of really bad carpet stains which pissed me off. They claimed they would correct it and never would. Also, the tub was nasty and needed to be resurfaced which they promised and never did. When you leave, they tack on A LOT of fees.

So, we stayed and moved to a different unit upstairs as they have renovated and the gated community is promising. The first few days, while moving to this new unit, our dolly/​cart was stolen. The next days, we have seen junkies going thru the garbage and loitering in the laundry room. And now, the elevator has been down for more than a week. Per office staff, Parts are so expensive they needed approval from owner! What about your residents, especially those with disabilities??? The least u can do is to notify us of the issue and give us a target date of when it will be fixed and not just taped an OUT OF SERVICE paper at the elevator and waited til residents complain about it. I wish you are all eager to fix this issue as you are eager to collect our rent payments every month!

In parting i have one good thing to say. Brenda in the office is a doll. Con am should get rid of clarissa in the corporate office and promote Brenda to her position.

I’m going to try to be as diplomatic as I can but I’ve been gone from this place for almost two months and my previous reviews are being harassed with private messages, plus I’ve had time to think with a clear mind but just having to do that makes me realize how bad it was. I barely scratched the surface with the plethora of problems I encountered while living here in my previous reviews. From the smallest details all the way to thefts, vandalism, negligence to handle issues the management is legally liable for, and downright argumentative staff ranging from the angry maintenance workers all the way to the corporate level. I felt like I was living back in the bad part of long beach just without the beach nearby or the people I know there.
Although it may be entertaining to read the problems I’ve had while living here because there were plenty of them and they were becoming so bizarre that I couldn’t even go home without my stress levels to skyrocket, I will refrain from writing as much as I can. There were some people living here that I thought were nice and there was one girl in the office that was most of the time very good to me, Christina, but unfortunately, the issues in general were becoming more serious then something a smile could sooth. She must’ve been doing good, though, because every other office member disappeared while I was living here except for her. But, the corporate staff (the ones employing her) knew me just from my voice when I called because they were becoming my goto for handling more serious issues, except, they were no better then the other bad staff. It seemed like their frame of mind was that it wasn’t their job, it was the on-​site staffs job so they didn’t want to be bothered. Maybe true but one little detail missing was the actual problem that I was calling about in the first place was never handled because the on-​site staff would never do anything.
The corporate staff seemed to start a protocol for dealing with my calls that would basically try to get me to describe the problem and once I did, they would tell me that it was the on-​site management’s problem to deal with. The calls would always end with me telling them that I know but I wouldn’t be calling corporate if it was handled correctly in the first place. For something serious like having my i.d. and passport stolen from my place, my car being vandalised with malicious intent, their own security guard threatening me with violence at my front door all because of a misunderstanding on his part, my mailbox being broken into constantly from the lack of security, one of the maintenance that couldn’t speak English very well trying to joke with me about doing his work because it was near my door… for weeks, the gardeners that also damaged my car while cleaning up scraps in the lot, and even their own maintenance staff threatening me after calling him when the trinity security company gave me his number by accident, that those things shouldn’t take a month for the on-​site manager to get back to me on… and that’s just some of the things near the end of my tenancy here.
These issues don’t even touch the other issues that are probably more common like the top floor unit I lived in which seemed to have a very outdated air conditioning unit which made it near impossible to sleep in my room. I’m not even exaggerating when I tell you my entire room would shake like a small California earthquake every single night when the contraption would either shut off or start up. I even tried sleeping in the living room and that worked for awhile until a neighbor moved in that sounded like he tortured his dog and would leave it there by itself for extended periods of time causing it to jump up against the door and cry which would also somehow cause the apartment to shake from the impact of it’s bashing against the large front doors. My neighbors across the hall must’ve been making porn movies because they were also so loud and they could never hear the dog.
So many building code violations like the mail room not being properly secured including the access door to the box itself. The elevators that would trap people inside and were never clean in spite of cleaning girls that would spray stuff inside but for months there was dried phlegm near the buttons in one. The laundry rooms that were always getting broken into from random people that I’ve even caught myself trying to take peoples clothes out of.
But, somehow, the owner has money to remodel the front of the building… which took an extremely long time for the workers to complete.
Needless to say, the trauma from living here will no doubt be long lasting. It’s a cross between living in the slums with a ‘stuck in a prison’ type feeling to being the convenient place for homeless or drug dealers or prostitutes or drunk people walking from the strip to crash at.
I don’t know how the address isn’t «5150 Nowhere Near Paradise Road, Street Prison, NV»

DO NOT LIVE HERE…
This place is garbage. I’ve lived her for 2 weeks and I wish I never signed a lease…
YOUVE BEEN WARNED

To the Unilocal followers & Reviewers,
I have lived at 4200 paradise AKA. Cobblestone creek formerly, since January 2000 and I have great neighbors, I love my neighbors they’re awesome folks the manager June K. & Brenda they are awesome at their jobs they really care about the people, about you personally & they really do a good job managing the community.
The pros:
Location location location, you can walk to the strip 15 min. maintenance is quick to reply, Great Security co., & beautiful landscaping, almost all the office folks have good attitudes.
The cons: traffic, & the walls are a bit thin.
I have to say if you give them time to respond they usually do what’s right and make the customer happy.
Sincerely,
Peter Alderson

DO NOT MOVE HERE!!! TERRIBLE PLACE TO LIVE!!! Front office will LIE to your face about what living here is actually like. Only high ratings on here are from employees.
The front office is exceptionally rude. (only after you move in of course) Even though my neighbors repetitively steal my packages dropped off at my door the front office sees fit to take down the sign I have on my door saying to leave packages at the office. So needless to say I have lost A LOT of mail due to the incompetency of the employees at the front office. And when I brought this issue up with them they treat me like a child and say «they have never lost a package in 10 years.» Which I know is a LIE because I go to them with a complaint of missing mail every other month.
The front office also turns off the hot water WITHOUT 24 hour notification. I hope you enjoy going to work dirty and stinky because that’s what you will get living here.
The pool areas are fire hazards because after you get in you cant get out without a key.
There is no real security. Just one lonely guard who wanders the parking lot minding his own business.
The Bums of las vegas WILL go through your trash here. The front office seems unconcerned with keeping the complex free of non residents. One night I had a hooker knock on my door, apparently she was just wandering the halls looking for business.
The fire alarm goes off constantly here, mainly in the middle of the night.
The laborers who are supposed to be building a gate (3 months behind schedule for completion) do nothing but drink all day and the office does not care.
The internet constantly has «unscheduled outages» at this address.
There are people doing drugs in cars in the parkinglot which would of been fixed but the gate started in October has taken over 5 months (6 – 8 week completion estimation by the front office)
The referring people for a discount on rent is also a LIE. After I did this the office said that they were not going to pay me, but instead would laugh at me, and said I didnt refer them. Probably because they have NO intention of paying anyone.
And lastly the washing machines will turn all your white clothes «pee» yellow.
The only good thing about this apartment complex is the location.

This is almost the worst place in vegas to live. I lived there for a few years an after begging them to fix problems I was having. they refused. So my lease finally ran up! I moved an thought I was finally done with this badly managed company! Ha not so fast. They said I had another month Wich was bull. They send me a bill for over 3k an then to collection. All the probs that I was having they decided to charge me for. An also charged me for 3 trash bags I left (all the dumpsters were full) an charged me 300 $ each bag! Then charged me for the month (they said I left early) 1200 $ an a early contract fee. This place is a joke. They have a freekin boiler to get ur hot water that will kill ur skin. It’s so bad. An bed bugs too. All around horrible place to think of living. Not to mention all the homeless people walking around begging.

I am SO glad my lease will be over in June. 6 more months of homeless people digging through our trash, our mail room smelling like pet urine, fire alarms going off ALL the time, cheap cabinets falling apart, never getting enough hot water, and so on. I thought this would be a great place to live in because it is so close to everything but I’ve decided that taking the extra 15 minutes to get to school or to the strip is worth it to having a better place to live in.
Also, apparently these apartments are getting gated so the rent is going up significantly. I’m sorry, but for the quality of these apartments, the amount of fuss there is because of the fire alarms going off, and really rude management, it’s not worth any more of my money.

Years later I have moved apartments within the complex and tried to make this place work. but it just does not get better. Location has kept me here, but the rent keeps rising and t he quality of the situation degrades daily. As many others have said, the fire alarms go off all the time, and as I sit here writing this they are going off again. for the 4^th or 5^th time in the last couple of months. It sometimes happens very late at night or very early in the morning.
You cannot trust what the women in the office say they will follow through and do, if you have any issues. The laundry facilities require you to add funds to a pay-​card of sorts and the machines regularly malfunction, eat your money or just plain don’t work. When you file a complaint with literally 3 different staff and call the number they say you have to go through. nothing is fixed. They all pass blame around and the company that is meant to furnish your refunds for the cards, will tell you that they cannot do anything without hearing from the office. The office will tell you it’s not their responsibility to deal with the laundry situation. Thus, nothing gets resolved and i’m currently out $ 36 for laundry. Although, you must understand that you cannot do laundry any other way, but to use these pay cards. (Unless you drive off-​property)
There is SO MUCH noise at all hours. If it isn’t the neighbors and children running up and down the hallways. yes that includes full grown humans as well as kids. it’s an unnecessary leaf blower guy around 830 am. For what reason that needs to happen so often or that early is a mystery. When you ask Brenda or any of the other women in the office. they say they have no control over the maintenance and yard workers. What do you all have control of?
A few months ago they started major hallway destruction in order to add new wiring for security cameras. When they did that. they unleashed so many bugs and roaches. I never had any bugs in my apartment until that happened. The doors are not sealed properly and air, and dust. and BUGS can just crawl underneath the doorway as a result. They gave ZERO notice for the construction and it lasted over a month and would begin as early as 6 am. directly in front of my door. When I complained, I was told it was basically too bad and that it had to happen.
To top it all off, my car was stolen last year from my parking space at the complex. As f it weren’t a bad enough situation, my car got stolen out from where I live. I’m locked into this lease for a few more months and I cannot barely afford to live here as I got laid off recently, though I have to find a way to get out.
***The alarm has gone off and stopped and gone off again, FOUR TIMES as I sit here and write this for the last few minutes. It’s ridiculous. Spend a little more money and stay somewhere else.

BED BUGS! BED BUGS! BED BUGS!
I’ve lived in Vegas most my life and never had a problem with bed bugs until this place. I’m assuming its due to the poor quality of the units that the bugs can travel from one apartment to the next. Be aware though because management will not tell you if they’re are bed bugs in your building!
Besides having to throw away all my furniture; bed, 2 couches, all pillows and linens. The management was terrible! Took them 3 days to «inspect» to make sure I had bugs another week to do a treatment then I had to wait another 2 weeks for final treatment. In the meantime the apartment was uninhabitable for the whole month! They said it was safe to stay after the first treatment but I woke up with severe bites every time I slept in my own apartment.
Christie the manager is very unprofessional. She would never call me back or if I did get ahold of her she was busy. I’m talking a months worth of no phone call back from anyone. This created extra stress cause I mean who has the funds to just stay in a hotel until my apartment was habitable again? All I ever received from the front office was attitude and poor customer service.
I ended up just paying through my lease because they wouldn’t let me break it even though my apartment was infested and didn’t even live in the actual apartment.
Do not sign a lease here. All the negative reviews are true. Pay 100 bucks more a month for somewhere else, unless you like bed bugs crawling on your face while you’re sleeping! Gross!

When I moved in I was happy with the apartment itself but I was displeased with the customer service. Then one day, this wonderful girl named Kristie started working and it’s been all butterflies and rainbows. If she renews her contract, I’ll renew my lease.

Ok heres the thing. I do not rate Cobblestone creek as a four star apartment complex. I do, however, believe that for the amount of rent I am paying for a one bedroom apartment, I am very happy with this establishment and would rate it four stars for value.
Cons:
Sure, the repair guys take a little longer than usual to fix things, and I have to wait a little while for the water to get hot sometimes. I realize it’s not in the safest neighborhood, and it does kind of smell like smoke on the property all the time. The workout room isn’t the prettiest, the assigned parking, though abundant, is a mess (people park in spots that aren’t theirs), and the people walking around this place are a little creepy. You have to use a rather expensive laundry card to do your laundry in the limited amount of washers and dryers, but I can understand that they probably don’t want random people from the street coming in and using their stuff (taking up the machines!).
Pros:
It’s close to the strip and any establishment you could possibly visit in a regular day. I can walk to CVS or sushi/​pizza/​get my nails done etc. My apartment is cozy and it feels secure. The ladies in the leasing office have been nice to me, I’ve never had any issues with them. You’re paying next to nothing to live here (I’m from California so you know what that means for rent $$$). There is a ton of parking for any friends or visitors you may have. And people say there is a bug problem, but really its just a few crickets that come out at night. I’ve only ever seen 2 in my place. And they’re crickets! Not scorpions.
What I’m basically saying is, it’s really not as bad as people say it is for the amount of money you’re paying. All the things I see people complaining about on here are petty. I mean what do you expect when you’re paying $ 490– $ 700 for either a studio or a ²⁄₃ bedroom apartment! Someone to wipe your a** when you’re done taking a crap? If you want all the bells and whistles of a nicer apartment complex, you’re gonna have to pay for it. End of story.
Bottom line, I know there are nicer places to live, but for my budget and needs, Cobblestone Creek is great.

The only reason that they got 1 star out of me is because Unilocal starts at 1 star or cobblestone creek would have received ½ star.
The managment couldn’t be worse (rude), the repairs are slow & done improperly. The apts have horrible floor plans, there is NO way that these are the sq footage that they list. The hallways reek of weed & cigarette smoke, As if managment cant smell any weed smell as they walk by. The carpets are extremly cheap & pile in just a few months, the cupboard drawers fall apart, we had mold issues because we asked them to fix something that they tore apart but then they said they didnt get the repair request. Or they say, ok, I’ll be right back after they look at it but then never do return. Our dishwasher would fall open when we tried loading it & smash my hands because it wasn’t braced in properly after our other one broke. It only took them 2 weeks to get us a new one! The fridge was falling apart, didnt go past cool, the freezer didn’t work. We couldn’t even use the door shelves because the things that help hold the food on the shelves were broke! It only took 3 requests to get a newer one. I’ll admit the new fridge was nice but they banged up our kitchen, dented the dishwasher & the wall. It did not fit properly poking forward too much because it was too big for the spot & took up more space in our already teeny tiny kitchen. Oh & let’s not forget the cupboards that are made for 7ft people. I bought a step stool & still could only reach the front of the 2^nd cupboard shelf. My husband is 6ft & needed the step stool to get to the top cupboard shelves. Who ever hung these cupboards was an idiot! They are hung 12 inches higher then normal cupboards, if you are shorter than 6ft don’t plan on getting much use out of these cupboards. Chances are your appliance colors wont match either. They showed my husband 1 apt but then when he went to move in it wasnt ready since he had a uhaul & his father came to help move him (I came into his life after he moved in) he was forced to take a different apt than he had said ok to. The Blinds fall apart constanly & warp from the suns heat. The apts are poorly insulated & get very hot in the summer.
They charge you a nonrefundable cleaning deposit (which is fine) however when you go to move out after a couple years & the apt needs to by law be repainted between tenants they charge YOU $ 250 for it! It didnt even need painted but it is required by law. They charge you for new carpet when it is clearly cheap & started to wear out within months of move in thru the traffic areas, front door & hall area. They tried charging us over $ 1,000 for stuff. They charged us for thier cheap blinds because the viens were broken & when we requested that they replace them while we lived there they did not take care of this but then added them to our bill! Had I known they were going to pull this crap I wouldnt have even cleaned the carpets! That apt was so clean that other than the cheap drawers, not repairing what THEY needed to repair & investing in better quality carpeting it could have been moved into by the next tenants. Beware of moving out!
The hallways are loud & often not clean, the laundry rooms are horrible with washers that fits about ½ load but they charge $ 1.25 for, they dont even get the clothes clean! These are run down, I have seen older apts in much better condition. They were cheap to live in at first, then they raise the rent $ 110. $ 110 more for a crappy apt in a bad neighborhood? It was close to my husbands work (he moved into cobblestone creek before we had met)
We are out of that area & those apts (thank God) We are in the Green Valley area in our own house with our own pool & jacuzzi & a backyard & an actual garage. No moer apt living for us. I will say this though… After living in such a dump owning your own house in a really nice neighborhood is Heaven!
Cobblestone Creek is a DUMP, beware of living there… We made that mistake, hope you dont make the same mistake!

I rented a 2^nd story apt for 8 months. The complex is old for Vegas & not in the safest part of town. I moved here purely because of cheap rent & close proximity to the strip & UNLV while I was saving money & studying. My main complaints are: (1) even though I changed out the vent every month my apt & thus everything in it, always reeked of cigarette smoke even though I don’t smoke; (2) people who came to visit me complained the apt & complex smelled strongly of smoke, chemicals & dust; the rent increase– after my lease was up they raised my rent from $ 445 to $ 675. $ 445 was a fair price for what the apt is– older, kind of run down & smelling of smoke. I felt any rent increase more than something nominal was unreasonable considering the complex & that I had been quiet, clean & always paid my rent early. I talked to neighbors who experienced the same high rent hikes. The pros: walking distance to hardrock, double down, UNLV, etc; the maintenence crew are extremely nice & helpful; jacuzzi that remains open ²⁴⁄₇. I’d say if you need somewhere cheap & close to the strip this is a good temporary option– just go for a longer lease if you plan on staying for a while to avoid a rent hike. I’m actually greatful they hiked my rent now– It pushed me to get out & find a better living situation– I’m now paying a $ 675 mortgage (including HOA) on a gorgeous large new southwest home & I appreciate it big time! Lily who works in the office is an absolute sweetheart– very helpful & nice– I recommend you ask for her when renting– she’s the best! I hope this review doesn’t offend anyone at Cobblestone– it’s just my honest opinion based on what I experienced. Hope it helps!
