The Vineyards at Palm Desert Apartment Homes

I have never lived here. Just went to see if I could rent an apartment. Was offered all kinds of discounts on rent and showed us the floor plans and everything just to say no to us because we have a elderly rescue Shepherd mix dog because the management has «breed restrictions» but they would allow American Bulldog, one of the most aggressive dogs. Thats like saying no to one of my kids because he’s too big.
It says on their website that they’re pet friendly but doesn’t mention anything about restrictions. I’d never live here even if it was free.

I moved from LA in August to Palm desert area. I really enjoyed staying at vineyards, especially the amazing few of the mountains. My apartment was 2 bed room place with a garage which was perfect. I really do recommend this place for anyone use to living in La.

I’ve moved here October 2014, and so far so good. Management has been very helpful to me. I felt that there was missing some plants in front of my front door. I did the request thinking that I’m pushing a little bit there. Well, Jeff got me 4 brand new plants planted in front of my front door. The management try to do everything to help you out here. Especially Jeff. So, this is my experience!!! I love this place.

Terrible management! I would never recommend anyone to live here. If you have to deal with management, especially JEFF, good luck to you!

August 2014 I moved here from LA for a new job/​work. I was deciding between enclave and here but I chose this because they are the newest apartment homes in Palm Desert, the layouts are beautiful and the attached garage, glass shower doors and mirror closet doors pretty much sold me. To top if off, did I mention the super friendly staff? Jennifer was readily available and helped me with a smile all the time. The second I came in, she stopped what she was doing, grabbed the keys took my ID and in less than five minutes I was in the model apt home. Then on my move-​in date, Jeff helped me by showing me my apartment first and giving me a little tips and tricks inside the apartment. He inspected it with me and reassured me that area was safe. I chose an apartment on the first floor however I’m trying to transfer to the second floor because there is a problem with bugs. I don’t think the apartment people have control over that, the exterminator has already come but it is the desert… there’s only so much that you can do about bugs.
I can hear heavy footsteps upstairs, it sounds like there are very heavy people living upstairs. Also at times when I am going to sleep, I can hear conversations voices but I can’t make out what they’re saying! All of these noises are usually intermittent though. The maintenance crew is SO nice too!
Update 10÷23÷14: Had to bring it down a couple stars. After living here for exactly 2 months, I am now able to express the what may or may not be dealbreakers for some. The adjacent and above neighbor noise is bad. Somehow the construction of the building was done with poor insulation and I can hear my neighbors conversations (normal voice) through the walls while I’m trying to sleep. Also, my upstairs neighbors vacuum and it sounds like a chainsaw/​lawnmower. Their footsteps are heavy and audible but they are super thin people. Its really crazy. I did not consider myself a noise-​sensitive person but its almost unbearable. Especially since I work at a hospital and have unpredictable sleep hours; its impossible to get rest at times because of the neighbors regular commotion sounding extremely loud. The other thing is that it is very very close to the desert… an actual empty lot… that blows sand and it sits in my windowsills. I have to vacuum my windows.

After further discussion and other problems, the residents are still receiving no help from management. Very frustrating.

Don’t let this place fool you!!! The apartment complex is new but the only cable provider here is Hotwire communications and they’re Internet service is SUPER slow even with the highest internet service they offer I couldnt even load two pages at once. The walls in this apartment is SUPER thin!!! I can lip-​sync all the music that are playing downstairs, I can hear people talking through the walls as if they were in the same room! I even heard one couple bumping and grinding next door through the paper thin walls. And if this is a pet friendly community i suggest you install some grass areas for the dogs! poor dogs have no place to do their business other then the cement throughout the complex! yuck! I thought this place would have huge potential but it did not nearly reach my expectations! I deff do not recommend this place!
