The Eleven Hundred

Walls and ceilings are paper thin. Neighbors walking on 2^nd floor sounds like grenades exploding on the first floor. No other complaints about the place except that I’ve lost my sanity from all that noise.

I am really disappointed and sad. After looking at a lot of apartments me and my Bf decided to stop here. We where greeted with great customer service by Lori, and where told that they had a 2 bedroom unit available. We where shown a model since the unit wouldn’t be ready to view for another 3 weeks.
We told Lori that we where in a tight spot and needed to move as soon as it is ready. We did not want to sign anything until we saw the actual unit but wanted to have everything ready as soon as we saw the unit. With money order in hand we both arrived on our «move in day» to get the keys. We go to see the unit that was «move in ready» and it was in horrible condition. Everything looked like it was just painted over and not cleaned. Messy, messy paint job on the counters, completely bubbled over.
The kitchen cabinets where barely attached to the hinges and unleveled to the point that they wouldn’t close. The bathroom was so small and nothing like we saw. The foundation looks like it is completely deteriorating. For a hundred dollars more you can get a larger 1 bedroom in another for complex for the size of the 2 bedrooms they offer. This is a 700 $ unit not a 1150 $ unit, if you are going to raise the prices you need to have value behind it. Do not be fooled by these amenities and definitely look at your unit before you sign anything.
I don’t know of it’s just the unit we where given or if everyone there is being overcharged like that, but I suggest do some research. Pay attention to square footage per price to get a better deal.
I feel bad because we really romanticized this and wanted this to be our home. We where looking forward to meeting our neighbors and enjoying our stay. Walking around the nicely manicured backyards, and barbecuing with friends by the pool. Good life lesson learned, I just hope the students that come to this apartment complex know that you can get a way better bang for your buck somewhere else. If the integrity isn’t there from the beginning, it won’t be there during your 14 month lease. Which is the only lease offered unless you want to pay a premium, and I see why now.

After living here for close to a year, it’s time for me to leave a review of The Eleven Hundreds.
We move to California at the beginning of June, and didn’t have much time to find an apartment. All of our previous choices had no openings, and, by some miracle, this apartment complex had openings, much to our relief. Little did we know what we were getting ourselves into.
There are so many negative things to say about this place.
For starters, there is NEVER any parking in the area that I live in this complex. Often, there is no where to park even anywhere near my apartment, so I’m forced to walk a good 5 minutes after I manage to find whatever spot is left. One time, I had to park on the complete opposite side of the complex from where I lived. There are tons of people who live here, and, despite having to have a parking permit to be allowed to park here, there are many MANY vehicles parked here every night without one. Making me believe that there are people living here that are not signed on to a lease. I feel that with as much as I’m paying to live here (which is $ 1000 for a ONE BEDROOM, ONE BATHROOM apartment)’ I should be able to park in an area very close to my home. There have been break ins recently, and I’m always left wondering if it’s going to happen to me because I can’t keep an eye on my car because it’s parked so far away. It’s simply a safety issue, and I’ve expressed concerns to an uncaring staff.
Furthermore, the people that live here don’t seem to understand the terms of their lease or the complex in general. Every day, I see people breaking rules.
The mail room is another ongoing issue. Some people are unable to get their mail for days because they leave early in the morning and don’t get home until late at night when the mail room has been LOCKED. I understand that they do this for security reasons, but honestly, it doesn’t help much either. On several occasions, I’ve had my mail stolen. On one occasion, I had mailed a check, and someone had swiped it out of the mailbox, washed the check, causing me to have to close my bank account. In reference to the mail room seldom being available, it’s an annoyance that the mail person is always there for hours on end, and their schedule is never the same. I’ve come home multiple times after 5:00pm to see the mail person still there.
The gym and pool area was recently closed for a long period of time while the office was being remodeled. I was not able to work out for two months.
Continuing on, the apartments are very cheaply maintained. The paint is lackluster, the appliances are very cheap, the cabinets are absolutely terrible. You’d think for as much as most people pay, they would upgrade basics like this, but no. Still the same cheaply made and functioning stuff.
It’s always so noisy. Wanna sleep in on your day off? Forget it. The neighbors are always making noise, or a recently vacated apartment is being worked on, or there’s some guy using a leaf blower right outside. The insulation sucks. I can hear my neighbors music through my walls on one side and people having sex or getting beat up on the other. It’s absurd.
The maintenance staff and office staff are deplorable. Need something fixed in your apartment right away? Might as well try and fix it yourself, because it’ll be a week or more before you hear a knock on your door from the maintenance man. The office staff is just plain rude. After turning in my rent check, one lady said, and I quote «Let me give you some power. There’s a drop box right outside. Use it next time». ARE YOU KIDDING ME? It’s not just that tho, every time I go in, they are extremely rude and uncaring to me. The staff when we first moved in was perfect. Now it’s just unbelievable. The only exception to this is the assistant manager, Celeste. She is the only good thing about this complex.
Another annoyance I have is that every time they need to do a check up in my apartment, or do maintenance, they never seem to have my key. Even though they’ve made a copy of my key 4 COUNT THEM, F O U R times. After the last time, they even left a notice on my door saying that if a key wasn’t made, they would change my locks, and I’d have to pay for the expenses and pay for the new key. When it wasn’t even my fault. I actually had to leave school during class one day so that they could make YET ANOTHER copy.
Also, there are a lot of homeless people that roam around this complex, jumping around through the garbage bins. Disgusting. The gates are never working properly (the side gate is always WIDE OPEN), while the back gate is chained closed, so any access from Bell street is a no go. The line to get in the place is always being held up by someone who doesn’t have a way in, and if someone leaves, they go thru the exit gate. Real safe place you’ve got here, 1100s. And the security that «patrols» around the complex ²⁴⁄₇ does nothing. Absolutely nothing.
Don’t live here. You’ll regret it. Not worth what you pay for.

My sisters and I have been living here for about 8 months now and I can definitely say this has so far been the worst place we have ever rented. If i could rate this place with negative stars they would get a negative 5 star rating. Everything has been wrong from the get go. The original unit we pick was not ready by the date we were suppose to move in and we were then forced to pick another unit by random next to the lovely gate next to the shopping plaza, where I might add, that has a lot of fence hoppers. Just the prefect spot for 3 young female college to live at! It doesn’t stop there, for the next few week our packages were stolen and although the mail room is right next to the office, the staff claimed that they were not responsible for our stolen package! Then the Manger change the locks to our unit without our permission and almost lock us out of our apartment. Our sink is falling apart and a request to get it fix was posted 6 months ago, and surprise it has still yet to be fix. The blinds are still broken and the down stairs neighbors are still smoking, you guessed it, weed.
Beside my rant here are some things you should definitely be looking forward to dealing with if you ever unfortunately end up by some miserable chance to live here. Be careful of animal dropping because there are so many stray animal living here. Animal dropping are everywhere and all over the complex. I also would not swim in the pool because there are a fair amount of duck dropping at the bottom of the pools. Be careful of your neighbors because the staff will not take any action if even your neighbors flatten all four tires of your vehicle, and no one else in the world knows where you live. Definitely do not consider live here if you have chronic asthma problem because your weed infested neighbors will, if not double than, triple you medical cost. Don’t expect much from the so promised courtesy patrol because they only come once in a blue moon, I haven’t seen one in almost three months. And here the best highlighter of all, don’t expect your vehicle to be in one piece in the morning, the amount of vehicles getting vandalize here is preposterous. Finally, if you are a college student hoping to have some peace and quiet after a long day of work and school you should not count on it because I am sure you neighbors will keep the parties going even after several complaint from the other residents yourself included
To sum it all the staff in this apartment complex does not care for the residents safety, peace of mind and health. To them it’s all about making a profit. I highly advise and urge everyone to not move in to this apartment complex of HELL!!!

Do not live here. Stray cats, dumpster divers, and the smell of weed everywhere. They say the have a curiosity patrol come by and check up on the place but I think I saw it all of 8 times the year I lived here. Parking is a nightmare when you work late and so people park in fire lanes to get a place to park. Once in a while they were tow a car or two to scare the residents but they go back to doing it the next day. Over priced and staff is really bad at answering the phone.

The Eleven Hundred have been a great place to live. I moved in around two years ago and I luckily don’t have too much to complain about.
Let’s start off with the bad.
— When I moved in rent was fairly cheap. However, since then the complex have been bought and sold many times and prices have risen tremendously. The newly renovated units are nice but I prefer lower rent. I pay almost $ 900 for a two bed one bath apartment, which isn’t too bad. After paying for water, internet, electric, and gas, it cost me a little over a grand. It all depends on your usage and what internet plan you pick.
— The buildings themselves are old and a little run down. The walls are thin, and insulation is still fairly poor even after the installation of new windows. Also, the floors have little cushions so it may sounds like your upstairs neighbors are deliberately stomping all day. (Sorry downstairs neighbors !)
— There are a few homeless people scavenging around for cans but they generally leave you alone. To be fair this is not an isolated issue, and a lot of apartment complexes near Sac State have homeless people wandering around scavenging through dumpsters as well.
— The gym is too small but it has everything I needed anyways. And the pool looks nice but it’s kind of dirty.
And now with the good.
— Management is slightly competent. They recently had a change of staff leaving only the manager and assistant manager behind. Everyone is fairly new but they always try to help you to the best of their abilities.
— Paperwork are done electronically. When I moved in, I signed all of my paperwork online which was extremely convenient for me. There is no need to worry about losing any paperworks. And you can also view them at anytime you want.
— Security is pretty good. Since I lived here I haven’t had any break ins, my car is still in one piece, and there is rarely any violence. The security guards are just ok. They take about 20 mins to respond. Beside protection they can help you with car problems such as jumping a dead battery.
— The apartment complex is surprisingly quiet. I expected college students to be throwing parties every night but they don’t. Everyone is generally respectful of each other and noise is never a problem.
— Maintenance is very good. They always try to respond and fix your problem within a few days.
— Parking is great. There is no assign parking but there are always parking spots. If you come home late at night you may have to park near the pool or the lot near El Polo Loco, which can be a little far depending on where you live. But generally parking is fantastic.
A few things that I want to mention.
— Kristine O. You have written one of the most ridiculous review. Honey, you are a college student and you should know better. When you moved in you weren’t charge for water sewage and trash. That is because you are charge for utilities AFTER you use them. And are you serious? Helicopters flying around 3 days week? I have lived here for almost two years and I have only seen a few helicopters flying back and forth. And most of the time they aren’t even police helicopter. You probably left a horrible review because you didn’t get your full deposit back. Even though your ignorance of how utilities work and you felt cheated, creating outrageous and untrue statements is not ok. Many people use Unilocal for unbiased and honest reviews. Making up lies is unfair for those people in their decision making and just show how childish you are.
— John T. Your car was towed because you parked in a fire lane. There were plenty of parking space near the pool and by the parking lot near El Polo Loco. The consequences of parking your car in the fire lane is the results of your action and nobody else.
— Buque S. & Ashley K. You are probably a college student and you should also know better. You probably didn’t read your lease when you signed them. They require a 60 days notice and it’s on the very front page of your lease. You should always read what you sign to avoid cases such as this.

I’ve been living here for about half a year now and I can honestly say it’s been awful. The only reason I’m giving 3 stars is because of the maintenance man Jason. He was our angel when in need! He changed our locks for us, after having trouble with keys, in a quick and efficient manner. He was so kind and helpful, it gave me faith in the apartments. I wish that Jason could be our maintenance guy for all our troubles! Thank you for your help!
The place is really cheap to live in, so you get what you pay for. The office ladies are rude and don’t know what they’re doing. They have been doing construction on our apartment since the day we’ve moved in and it’s been extremely inconvenient. It feels like our home can never be clean because we always have construction guys running through our house. I can’t wait to move out.

This place is worthy of my first ever Unilocal review and definitely deserving of one star.
So I moved into these apartments October 2014 because they are close to Sacramento state and close enough to midtown to ride my bike. What I didn’t know was how GHETTO this place was going to turn out to be. Thank god I finally got out of there this last October, best decision I have ever made, I’m just upset it didn’t happen sooner.
Let’s begin:
— 1 mile away– movie theater parking lot shooting. Two cops shot and a car chase went for hours around the neighborhood.
— I witnessed a man shoot a dog outside my kitchen window. It took the cops 30 minutes to get there.
— There are always homeless people going through the dumpsters and harassing the tenants around the complex.
— I saw a woman’s «weave» get ripped out of her skull at the pool in July because her «baby daddy» was messing around with her friend (I couldn’t make this stuff up).
— On the Fourth of July two women tried to break into my house at 4am (luckily the door was locked) they gave up and went to my next door neighbors who’s door was unlocked, he caught them in his house after a few minutes and he threatened to call the cops, so they came back the next day and threw a brick through his window and tried to trip him with fishing line outside his front door to threaten him for catching them in the act. Really? Yes.
— There was a police helicopter over my apartment AT LEAST three times a week saying to stay inside because they were searching for someone armed and dangerous.
— And I can’t begin to tell you how many times I had to call the cops because of a domestic disturbance for my next door neighbors beating the crap out of one another. I told the manager and she already knew who I was talking about before o even said who. And she did NOTHING about it. It went on for a year. The cops eventually stopped responding to the calls.
— The maintenance at this place might as well not exist because they literally never fixed anything and you would have to call three or four times to even get them to come over.
— Good luck ever getting the office to answer your phone calls– and when they do, expect a temp to answer and have literally no idea how to handle your call so they keep you on hold so long you give up or they talk you in circles until you actually have to yell for management. Which isn’t much better.
— Oh– the «security patrol» hahaha he weighs 350lbs and acts like everything is your own personal problem, just call the cops. But they usually don’t even show up anymore because of the amount of calls they get from this complex. (Straight from a cops mouth to my ears).
— My apartment was immaculate when I moved out and they still only gave me $ 18 of my deposit back– When I called to see why, was told I should have known that utilities are charged for a month after I move out and that comes out of the deposit. What?!
— Pretty much everyone from management to leasing to maintenance are incompetent so if you have a problem you should just figure it out yourself.
— This place is way overpriced and the most ghetto place I have ever and will ever live. If you like bumping ghetto rap or listening to your neighbors beat each other at all hours of the night, this is the place for you!

My first apartment I’ve ever had. I lived at Sacramento State dorms for three years and wanted a change. Basically the price really made it appealing to my roommate and I! But then the first bill game and all these crazy add-​ons we didn’t know about popped up raising are rent significantly. A lot of the time things brake and it takes several days for anyone to show up, and sloppily fixing it to barely work but making it useable. Between the loud screaming neighbors and usually worn out equipment, the apartment is a decent first time apartment. Unsure if we will continue living here.
Side note: The staff here has always been really friendly to me. I have no complaints on them, it’s just the status of the apartments that make it unpleasant.
If you’re a first time renter the apartments are fairly decent and the pool/​work out room are a pretty nice bonus.

I would give this place negative stars if I could. DO NOT LIVE HERE. All they care about is getting your money. There are constant maintenance issues in my apartment, which the maintenance department takes forever to fix, there are way to many cars here without permits which makes it impossible to find parking for people that ACTUALLY LIVE HERE. There are always people in the pool who don’t live here also. Last night my car was towed because I couldn’t find a parking spot because every single parking spot in the entire complex was being used, and over half the cars don’t even have permits. The staff here does absolutely nothing about it and it is more than frustrating. Don’t even get me started on the dumpster divers also. It is rediculous. It makes you feel like you are the one who is homeless! Overall the staff is not helpful, unfair, and I would not recommend my worst enemy the eleven hundred apartments. Some serious changes need to be made.

I wish there were a way to give less than one star. I saw the negative reviews about this place, but the price seemed too good to pass up. I spent a year regretting that decision.
For one, in addition to rent, you also pay water/​sewer/​trash to the complex based on how many people live in the apartment. When I moved in, one person, I was told it was usually around $ 50-​$ 60 a month. Nope. Let’s try $ 90-​$ 110.
The office staff CONSTANTLY loses paperwork, or sends notifications to residents that mysteriously disappear and are never delivered. Maintenance requests are generally ignored. My A/​C wasn’t working during the summer — sometimes it would cool, most of the time it didn’t. When they finally did send someone to check it, they informed me nothing was wrong and it was perfectly normal for the A/​C to frequently blow out hot air. Winter came and surprise! The heat didn’t work either. It wouldn’t even turn on. I reported by phone, email, even went into the office. After a week, they sent someone to check, and they determine that hey! I needed a new thermostat. But they, of course, didn’t have one and it might take a day or two to get one. I initially reported this the beginning of December. At the end of FEBRUARY, after repeated calls, emails, and visits to the office, I finally came home to discover they’d installed a new thermostat… And left a hole in my wall where the old thermostat had been. «No worries,» I think, «they probably ran out of time and will come back to fix it.» Nope. That hole was still there when I moved out.
And when the time comes to move out, let’s hope you have some money saved up. You’re not getting your deposit back and it’s pretty likely you’re going to get slapped with a bunch of ridiculous fees. I ended up with no deposit back and a bill for, get this, $ 979 for various «cleaning» and «repair.»
Do yourself a favor and don’t live here. You’ll regret it.

The management here is a joke! They were so rude to us and their lack of communication within one another needs some serious improvement. Long story short they gave our apartment away to somebody else after WE were already approved and everything TWO YEARS IN A ROW without even telling us!!! One lady Celest was very nice and helpful when we first applied a few weeks ago but another lady, Sophia I think her name is, was SO RUDE to us yesterday when we were trying to straighten things out. Nothing was fixed and we were almost left homeless since school starts again on the 31^st, but we were able to find another apartment complex down the street who was more than willing to help us! I’m glad we don’t have to deal with these people or complex again!!!

I visited my friend in these apartments, and I thought it would be a cool place to live. I called one day during business hours and no one answered my phone call. I almost gave up, but I really was interested in finding out the availability because I am moving. I called again yesterday, and someone finally answered and said they would transfer me to an agent. I stayed on the line and they had hung up on me! No call back or anything. I will not be calling again and will be taking my business elsewhere. I am very disappointed in their lack of customer service, and will not be recommending them.

These are very nice apartment complex, I really have no complaints about them what so ever. They do have a little maintenance problems but which apartments don’t.

I regret the day I walked through the front gate and asked about the rent. I moved here on April 10, 2015. The people in the front desk are clueless and rude.
Day one: Move in time 10:00 am. I got a called at 9:00 am from the apartment telling me my apartment was not ready and my options were to move into another apartment unit or tell my current land lord that I need to stay another couple of days because my new apartment was not ready. Staying at my current apartment was not an option so I picked a new apartment unit.
That night after the move I noticed that people like to hope over the fences to get in and out of the apartment complex. Before the move I had my address change to the unit I was offer, I had to wait for the changes to go through before I change the address again. I lost a lot of mails.
I was never given a walk though of the apartment complex. My roommate and I had to ask about everything. The ladies at the front desk always look at me like I’m a complete idiot. If they were doing their jobs to begin with I wouldn’t have to ask.
On May 14 I got a called from my roommate telling me she could not enter the apartment. I called the front desk and asked if they change my lock. The person who answer the phone told me no. I told my roommate to go to the front desk and get the master key. When she got there the manager told her they changed the lock that morning due to them not being able to access the apartment and they received an approval from one of us. None of us approved the change. After work I called the manager and asked why didn’t she inform us about the change. Her excuse was she tried to call one person but they did not have voicemail. She was going to call the other two people on the lease but miss place our lease and could not find our numbers. She went on to say that there have been many changes in the complex and things are all out of order and she was working on fixing it. There are four people working in that office. None of them seems to be communicating with each other. The other day while dropping of the rent money my roommate overheard someone complaining about getting lock out of their apartment. Apparently it’s a common thing here.

This is a very nice apartment complex. I moved in April, 2015. The new owners have made sure customer service is number one. The maintenance people will go above and beyond on calls and are at your apartment immediately. The renovation work is nicely done.
The grounds are well maintained. An off duty police officer rides the property all The time.
Located in the heart of shopping so it is convenient to a lot of things. I too read some of the reviews from people who had issues with staff and rent notices and negative petty issues. I scratched this place off my list because of that. I happened to have made a wrong turn and drove in by accident. I am glad I did
I suggest you visit and see for yourself. Owners have the right attitude… take care of your property and be a nuisance to those who don’t wNt to follow lease agreement

I will start by saying I’m sure the negative reviews have some validity, but remember folks this is an apartment building, lets be honest with ourselves, if you are paying under 1k, you may not get the best neighbors. I mean this IS Sacramento.
Now me: I’ve been living here for about a month, and so far love my apartment, have nice neighbors and love the maintenance guy. There were a couple things that needed improvement, leakly faucet, and patio light… small basics, and he fixed them asap. Upon moving in Carter helped me, and was polite, respectful, and frankly really helpful. I was leaving a bad relationship/​living situation, and I was please in how moving in was handled.
This far, no thugs, no gun shots, but I did hear about the price increase and maybe that’s why everyone thus far as been nice.
Its a apartment complex guys… and after living in SF this place is affordable and accommodating. We will see how it progresses and I’ll update in 6 months

I moved here on February 1, 2014 and have hated it since. Within the first week of living in my apartment I heard my downstairs neighbor beating his significant other. We put in a handful of complaints, called security and even the cops. The man would even watch me as I walked my dog from his doorway. One time after a fight with his girlfriend I had to be escorted back to my apartment by security because the man was so unpredictable. There was only one time that I witnessed them take down detailed notes of my complaint. It took until the end of October for them to actually do something and evict them. We are now having the same problems with our neighbors on either side of us.
The amount they ask for for these apartments is beyond ridiculous. At first it was only $ 779 for a two bedroom which was okayish. But then they have you pay pet rent and for water, sewer and trash which adds up to an extra $ 120. Before we moved in we spoke to them about the extra payments and they told us that it would only be about $ 80, turns out $ 80 really means $ 100 because you’re splitting it with the entire building. Not only that, but our rent went up to $ 810 when we had to renew our lease. Our rent is now almost $ 1,000 a month.
The walls are paper thin and the noise curfew is poorly kept. We are woken up at 7:00 am almost every morning with rap music and bass that shakes the apartment and kept up until 4:00 am with screaming and fighting. One night we even had a shooting at a building right next to ours.
Also, no matter how dry this state becomes they still think they’re in the right to water the grass. It wouldn’t be that bad if the water actually made it to the grass instead of creating huge puddles (more like lakes) on the sidewalks.
We put in our 30 day notice at the beginning of April and they told us we needed a 60 day notice and if they can’t fill this apartment by the end of May they’ll charge us for it even though it is vacant.
There is so much more I could write, but I feel you get the idea.

Be ware of this place. There are new owners and I was told by one of the office girls that when my year was up that my rent might increase by $ 25 or so a month which was good. They left the increase notice on the front door which I never use and only found it when seeing if there was a pkg left there by mistake. My increase was $ 209 a month starting with the new lease.
This place is not worth that kind of increase. Never mind the ducks that swim in the pool in the summer and leave their poop all around the pool and in the water.
