Ashgrove Place Apartments

«Luxury» is VERY loosely used in Ashgrove apt’s ads… it’s not even close to luxury. It looks nice from the outside, especially after driving through that neighborhood. 24 hour gates… yes, but you can’t buzz anyone in. Call the office? they will first tell you that no one else is having that problem. then maybe you should reset your phone and last oh we have a call in… but it never gets fixed so you’ll see long lines of cars waiting for someone who can get in to follow you in.
They only have a 2 bedroom model and they tell you the one bedroom looks basically the same… false. The one bedroom has very awkward space that’s barely usable. the separate area in the living room has no light so a lamp will be needed. The kitchen has half the cabinets and some too narrow to put much in. The second closet in the bedroom has no light soooo bring a flash light if you plan on using it.
The trash areas are almost always overflowing and usually someone has pulled trash out onto the ground to dig through it.
Not many of your neighbors understand what a dog leash is used for or that there was breed restrictions.
Walk through the breezeways and check out the upkeep… I mean the lack of …
I’ve lived in apartments for awhile and not heard many neighbors but here I have the pleasure of sharing my neighbors music at all hours.
Business center? wow that’s great to have a business center at my apartment! Did they take you in there? No? That’s because it’s an empty room. Useless.
Great! a gym! Look closely at the equipment… It’s often times broke.
Alarms in your apartment? Does that make you feel safe? It was the only way to get people to move into this ghetto neighborhood. Do I have safe at night walking to my car? no.
The pool? Enjoy sharing it with everyone in the outside neighborhood. They just jump the fence.
Also make sure you get a copy of your lease because if you don’t they could change the months you signed up for this «luxurious» lifestyle.
And lastly count yourself lucky if you get a view of the freeway because the other option is a view of the surrounding neighborhood with all the crappy lawn couches and lazy boys.
That’s just off the top of my head.

If you want to live in a place that filled with continuous police, fire and law enforcement helicopter traffic this would work great for you. Murder in one of the apartments, dog poop every where, air-​conditioning in the gym non-​existent in the middle of over 90 degree weather.
The walls are so thin, I can hear my neighbors snore, so imagine what else you can hear through those walls, wink, wink. I would recommended you look somewhere else especially because it ain’t cheap out here. Anyways, the apartments look nice in terms of the outward appearance but that is just about it.

All of the one star reviews are undeniably accurate.
This complex is located in a completely undesirable neighborhood. Helicopters and sirens are heard frequently enough to be more than once in a blue moon; the adjacent complex has folks hanging and standing outside all day during all hours; there’s a liquor store right around the corner.
Unbelievably cheap building materials were used as I can hear every single step my neighbor takes; when he uses his dish washer, showers, flushes, or urinates; and every other night — at odd hours of the evening — when he argues with his spouse (why are they even together?!!).
The lawns are *littered* with dog feces because no one curbs their dogs, no matter how convenient the doodie baggies are readily available.
People from outside of the complex will try to take a dip in the pool or meander in and the security guards are a complete and utter joke.
Unfortunately, I still live here while I look for residency else where. I am pretty sure I will not receive my full deposit even if I were to leave this place spotless. Whoo hoo!

My experience at Ashgrove Place was fair.
The office staff (Brittany and Christine) is great. I appreciate that they hold packages at their office and they usually know immediately which apartment I’m located in. They’ve always been friendly and accommodating and they are the high point of my stay here.
The security is actually present here. I see security walking up and down the complex and they greet the residents here. That being said, dumpster-​divers still managed to get through.
The complex itself is aesthetically pleasing. The apartments themselves are spacious and have full-​sized washer/​dryers (not stacked). The bathroom was pretty big, too. I noticed my apartment did tend to get a bit stuffy at times, even with the air conditioning on.
Their fitness center is much nicer than other facilities and I’ve used it several times. However, the equipment could use some maintenance. The elliptical machines are not rotating correctly, and the cable machines aren’t secured properly.
The prices are okay. Both of my lease renewal contracts had about a 10% increase in rent. I understand the cost of doing business, but the rent was starting to get too high. I was also a bit apprehensive about the security deposit. Based on previous reviews, I wasn’t expecting to get anything back. I did a decent job of cleaning the place, but I could have definitely could have done better. The total deposit was $ 900 for security + pet, and I ended up getting about $ 600 back. Not bad.
The worst part is the area. That’s something out of their control, but it also invites less than desired guests/​tenants and is a determining factor when deciding whether to stay or not. I’ve had several people park in my spot repeatedly, despite me leaving them a note. Parking isn’t necessarily abundant so this was an issue. Earlier, someone was stabbed and killed, however it appeared to be a non-​resident. There is a liquor store nearby, and a gun shop opening too.

Moved in to ashgrove about 3 months ago and it has a lot of pros, and a few cons. The apartment is nicely built and looks very classy. Its worth every penny. Especially considering all the quality amenities that are available. The pool is big and the hot tub is as well. As far as the complaints on here about trespassers and what not, thats going to happen everywhere. management cannot be at the gates watching who goes to the pool day and night. people follow me in all the time, nothing anyone can do about that short of id checks and a guard at the gates ²⁴⁄₇. The security is armed and very professional. I personally dont have the need for protection, I Carry my own means for that,(former law enforcement) but for the others here its a great feature. The bad: The apartments next door are GHETTTO. There are the usual suspects always outside just standing on the street on a weekday… every weekday. all day. They all look like they belong in a very low budget rap video. The «homeboys» obviously dont have jobs or anything to make themselves useful to society with, just a bunch of dirty welfare leeches walking around with their pants down to their ass like a soggy diaper. When you drive by the are always jumpy like they are watching for the cops, probably because of the aftermarket «pharmaceutical «sales they are involved in. Its unfortunate these animals are allowed to live so close to hard working taxpayers who actually contribute to the world. They just bring the value of a nice place like this down. other than that, the property is safe and would recommend it to anyone. Christine in the office is great too. Check it out.

Well, they kind of got off on the wrong foot with me at first, and I’m a little concerned about the quality of their staff, but it looks like a nice apartment & complex for the price. Not so sure about the surrounding neighborhood, but that’s pretty common.

I lived in these apartments for a year. The actual apartment was nice, but the neighborhood around it was gross. The complex is gated, however at least once a week there was a homeless man who would reach his arm over the front gate, and let himself in, so he could dig through the garbage. There were also people who came over from the low income apartments next door who would hang out and use the pool. Inside the gated community was fairly well kept. I never had any problems. The gate is a joke, since the complex is so large all you had to do was wait and someone would eventually drive up, and you could get in. Also they claim that they have a gas grill in the pool area that they maintain, but there was not a single time in the whole year that I lived there that the grill actually had gas.
All in all the apartment was really nice, and large, but the community surrounding the complex is shady at best. The apartments are definitely overpriced, as they are advertised as «luxury» apartments…

We lived here for 4 years. At first, the place was overpriced but we felt it was worth it. The last 2 years the place has gone downhill, and not just us thinking this, but talking to our neighbors we all agree. To add insult, they charged us over our deposit when the four years we lived here with zero problems, zero late payments, I only called them one time to clean the carpets and everything else I did out of my own pocket. Why did they charge over our deposit? Mostly for painting and general normal things — no holes in the walls, no pets, nothing out of the ordinary.

The complex is terrific! The property management staff is incredible; the maintenance and grounds keeper crews are spot on. I can’t say enough good things about the whole complex!

Appearances can be deceiving, when you first enter the apartment you are presented by a well managed team who will take care of your needs. Although the people who work there are extremely nice and courteous, that is as far as their services go
I cannot remember one time where I have asked for something to get done either around the apartment or at my apartment where it was accomplished the first time asked, the lack of follow through and communication between the staff who work there is non-​existent, every issue we have had the staff have relayed to us that they had not heard it from the other staff, when we asked for a follow up phone call I have only received maybe one or two and that is only after several attempts of asking to get something done at the apartment.
The complex looks very nice and presents well and I like the security who work at night but that is far as it goes when it comes to compliments to this complex.

Lipstick on a Pig.
Way overpriced when looking at comparables — and what’s worse is it’s in a ghetto area. It’s at least $ 200 more per month for the EXACT SAME FLOOR PLAN (built by the same builder) than apartments just 10 minutes down the road. (And you won’t be surrounded by houses with busted out windows and sheets used as curtains).
Go nearer to Folsom if you want to feel safe and comfortable.

I can not say enough good things about the staff and property. You can tell the staff works hard to maintain a wonderful community. At first I was neverous about the area, but I spoke to the City and found that Ashgrove is really a great place. I read reviews, did my reasearch and even spoke to Rancho PD to question the area. I was very suprised! They have less going on at Ashgrove then they do at some sites I lived at in Folsom. In addition to that I was curious as why I hear sirens every once in awhile, and learned the police station is a block from the property.

My fiancé and I lived here for 6 months while I was trying to get a job at UCDMC. He works for Intel and this complex was half way commute wise and we thought it would be great. The staff is friendly, the apartments are nice, and the rates competitive to other complexes of the same caliber. We were told that we would get 2 carports for a 2 BR apartment, but upon move in found out that it was only 1 per unit regardless of size. Drawback but not a big deal since they told us there was plenty of parking. There is only plenty of parking if you want to park outside of the gate.
This complex is located in a sketchy area where there are people jumping the fence, trying to tail people in through the gate, and sirens at night. We tried calling security once only to find out they are no longer servicing the complex and the next day we received a note from the management as to who the new agency was. Nice timing guys!
We had a $ 250 deposit and when we moved out the apartment was impeccable. I say this since I used to work in leasing and property management and I used to do move out inspections. yes I was a nickel and dimer. so I knew what to look for… down to the dust on the windowsill behind the vertical blinds. I cleaned everything. We just got our refund for $ 10.08. I called to inquire and they said that there was $ 70 for light housekeeping. and that was the least they charged for housekeeping so the unit must have been pretty clean– uh yeah. Also the water bill when we moved out (understandable), touch up paint $ 35 to cover the holes from frames and scuff marks (we hung NOTHING and I thought scuffs were normal wear and tear)… and $ 35 for carpet cleaning (isn’t that also normal wear and tear?). So $ 130 was for turning a unit into rentable condition on top of the $ 1330 that we had been paying for rent. hmm expensive I thought which is why I’m glad we moved out. Not worth it to live in a sketchy area.
We decided to move when our lease was up to Folsom. It was a better commute and the area is more family friendly. We do not hear sirens every night, there is no gate, but we don’t feel we need one– that is the most important.
