The Vineyards at Paseo del Sol

Continued:
We had a couple friends who lived there and I would say they are really clean people like us too. So when there move out came they only got 13 dollars back. Good thing they took a video of their clean apartment because they had to take it in and show them. Once they did they got more money back. Same goes for our situation too. They usually do a pre move out inspection and they named off they have to clean the apartment, paint the walls, and clean the carpet. My apartment was already very clean and we never wore shoes so the carpet was brand new and the walls needed to be touched up. So after Lynn told us it would be about 200 dollars to do everything which was ridiculous. Until we dealt with Monica and made her personally walk out apartment. She admitted it was the cleanest apartment she has seen since she has worked there. Good thing we dealt with her because she said that she would take care of everything. The apartment doesn’t need to be cleaned because how clean we left it, the walls just needed to be touched up so she didn’t charge us and the carpet was extremely clean so she would take care of it. That was the only good thing that came out of our whole situation.

My experience was great when I moved out of the Vineyards. The staff was friendly and helpful. There were no issues at all with my inspection and I received my deposit back within days of moving out of the complex. I would recommend The Vineyards to anyone looking for a great apartment in a great location.

We have been living here for 3 months now. My husband is a marine so we needed something not to far from base, Temecula worked out perfect. After looking everywhere in the surround cities, we found the vineyards and we were sold.
I honestly don’t see why there is so many complaints. First off let’s start with the complex itself. It is a smoke free property. I have never seen anyone smoke or smell smoke anywhere. No buds around either. So I don’t understand why people are saying that.
Everything is pretty clean all around. I love the pool, hot tub, yoga room and gym. I use all 4 on a regular basis. They are up kept. The gas grills are nice at the pool as well. Pool is closed at 10, I’ve seen them lock them as soon as the time comes. Gym is open 24/​hrs. Yay!
We don’t pay for a car port, so we find parking. During the day it’s no problem we park right in front of our unit. But usually at night it can be difficult cause there is no parking, we will either have to park on the other side of the complex or outside the apartments but it’s really not that big of a deal. We are choosing not to pay for parking.
We have a two bedroom (extra bedroom because my family comes down regularly) Our 2 bedroom 2 bath is the smaller out of the 2 offered yet it’s a big 2 bedroom apartment. Lots of space. Never any issue with that. We are on the second floor with a family above us. The sounds for apartments are normal. No problems.
Yes the «wood floors» are laminate and the cabinets aren’t the sturdiest but they have never fell apart like others are saying. Both the flooring and the cabinet are my favorite because of the look. Nice dark colors. I get some of compliments when family comes in. They love the place. As do we.
Wash in dyer in unit. Which was super important to me. They are nice. Ours are stacked which saves space which I like. Never had any problems with them. Stainless steel appliances through the kitchen. Gas stove. Granite counter tops. I love the look and feel of the kitchen as well as the entire apartment!
Big jack and Jill bathroom along with a big tub, but there is no draw space only cabinet under the sink but we found alternative way to keep items– which is fine. Bedrooms are great can’t complain. We have a walk in closet. Which was a must for me. I have a lot of clothes and shoes which I was scared everything wouldn’t fit but it did!
Come look at the apartments yourself and make the judgement. That’s what we did and haven’t had any problems! We love our place. I will attach pictures below.

Love love love the ladies at The Vineyards! Just moved in and and was given the BEST of care. Monica, Noreen and Lynn have been WONDERFUL and then I had the pleasure of having Taylor do all my move in stuff the last few days. What a sweetheart! Oh and my apartment is absolutely BEAUTIFUL! I’m so excited!

Last night I was locked out of my apartment, and was mortified that there is NO ONE available in Maintenance or Security. I called «the emergency lines» at 7PM and no one answered”. So I called a locksmith, and hope that my landlord will pay for this lonely, scary incident.
If my neighbor had not helped me, I would have slept of the leasing office, because she made all the calls and made sure I WAS SAFE WHICH I WAS NOT.

Had a great experience meeting Noreen and seeing all that the vineyards had to offer. She was extremely professional and answered all of my questions. At the time I was under the impression that my lease was not going to get renewed because my landlord was debating selling the home that I rent. But he did not sell so we are still renting from or original place. Otherwise we would of definitely rented a place here!

My experience has been 100% different from what I read in so many reviews. I looked at a lot of places in Temecula. I chose the Vineyards for my mom because it is modern, in walking distance to shops and restaurants and because of the staff. Lynn, Noreen and Taylor are all so sweet to my elderly mom (and mom can be a handful). They have become like a 2^nd family for her. They are always kind and have time to help her, let her visit with them in the office if she’s lonely and come to the unit to help when she can’t get her remote control working. Nothing is too big or small. They’re super people — so accommodating and helpful. The apartments are beautiful and the grounds are very nice. The dog park is a great bonus (mom has a small dog). We have experienced none of the awful things I read about. Mom moved in in early December and is enjoying it a lot. I never write Unilocal reviews but after seeing all the bad reviews, I wanted to share my experience, if it’s helpful to others.

Laminate… Just because it LOOKS like wood doesn’t make it wood, guys! It makes you crooks. $ 1550 for what?!
Moving out of here is a fucking nightmare. I had to record the pre-​move out inspection to make sure that nothing would be pulled on us. Even then, I had to contact the new manager to make sure we wouldn’t be overcharged on anything.
BTW… They have 21 days from the time you move out to cut you a check for a refund of your deposit according to Noreen when u called to find out when we would get our deposit back. I moved out October 30^th, 2015. I got my check in the mail today. Yeah, that’s right. TODAY. I called yesterday to find out where the hell out refund was. Lynn emailed me this morning to let me know there was a problem cuttin our check & that it should be soon. There was no problem. They just didn’t do it and blamed it on accounting. Cute. Real cute.
Thank God we are done with this property. It was a nightmare. Absolute nightmare.

Do not rent at this place. The front office staff are rude. The monthly fee is very high and place is full of cigarette buds even though the sign say «non smoking zone» When you break the lease and move out they charge for carpet cleaning and full repaint even the place just need touch up. They charge for whatever they want. You even have to paid two months of rents for breaking the lease. You have to paid back the special move in if you break the lease. This is ridiculous.

Do not move here… there’s nothing luxurious about this place except front office, other than that not even close… When we first move in, within the first couple of days my 5yo son had a bunch of bug bites all over his legs, turns out we had carpet bugs and when we address the issue with management we were told to wait a whole week for pest control company to stop by. another issue is «smoking «you can even have your windows open because of people smoking in their balconies or around mailboxes and pool/​spa areas, and speaking of pool area another big issue… people being in pool/​spa way past 10:00pm partying out and no one comes to escort people out… have email the management and the only response we get «security will TRY to get there around 10:00pm to close the premises » .overall not a good place to live and can wait to get out of here !!

Although these apartments are conveniently close to everything the apartments itself suck. They are cheaply made; thin walls, cabinets fall apart every other week, lights and outlets work when they want, not kid friendly, walls are flat paint grey (will not clean, you must repaint), never any parking unless you have a garage or carport and mainly way to expensive. You can actually rent a four to six bedroom house for the price of a two bedroom here. Oh and the i Utilities are high because they use 220v air unit; so don’t run your air much or you will pay the price of a house electric bill.
You may not want to ever live here… I’m excited because my lease is almost up.
P. S. The reviews with all stars are mostly from the previous owners prior to the buyout in August 2015.

THIN WALLS! we got new neighbors and I officially hate living here. We are thinking if breaking our lease to move out. You will be able to map out everything your neighbor does. It’s terrible. Do not move here, if you do, move on the 3^rd floor. I understand apartments are louder than anyone would like, but these have only wood flooring so EVERYTHING is magnified. I cannot wait to leave this place and actually be able to Enjoy joy my life and sleep again.

While helpful upon move out… I was charged double for my move out fees from what the last owner charged for a smaller unit in the same or better condition… when I showed the nearly 30 pictures of the apt in near perfect condition, the way I left it, I was met with one statement. «But this note says «scratches on the wall, full repaint». Consider your deposit gone. I was charged $ 21 over my full deposit. Shocker? Cost of doing business with a new company I guess… too bad because I would have highly recommend this place to anyone before this.

This is purely based on the tour we were given today by Amber. We absolutely were so impressed by the property, the professionalism of the staff (Amber) and all of the amenities. We are relocating to Temecula from Mission Bay (San Diego) and the prices here are outstanding for what they are offering. Thank you or showing us around Amber. We look forward to talking with you more about our move.

So far we have toured the Vineyards as potentials residents 2 different times. Both times we were treated with 100% professionalism. We were showed the pool, gym, tanning room, yoga room and dog park. All of which were clean. I understand the property is smoke free but if people do not adhere to those rules then they themselves are the problem. I see a lot reviews about people seeing others smoke and running to tell management. If that was me I would make it a fact to let the person smoking know I am writing down their unit number or license plate etc and giving it to management. You cant expect any property management team to enforce these rules ²⁴⁄₇. You have grown adults living there they need to conduct themselves as GROWN ADULTS. As for the dog park not getting picked up after the owners I would say the same the rule applies. You live there so speak up to your neighbor about cleaning up after themselves and their dog. I am moving from LA and the cost of living here is by far cheaper than anything I am used to and you are getting so much more here. I will update this review as the move in/​living process goes. Remember if your spending so much money to live there then speak up and tell the people violating the rules to stop. Calling employees liars is also very rude, if you have a problem with people go to their supervisor not Unilocal to try and get your problems resolved.
PS…Get more photos of inside your units on your own website instead of 15 pictures of the pool.

Very modern facility! Appliances are new & very up to date. Facility has: a very nice gym, great business center, coffee/​tea (refreshments), pool, nice outdoor living area, and bbqs. Very close to shopping centers! I think it’s awesome that they have a tanning bed here! Only downside is: there are never towels at the gym, neighbors are extremely loud, & the cops always seam to be called on the weekends! There was a time where the cops were here every weekend for two months straight. People have also reported their cars being broken into, stuff being stolen, and the property of the apartments being vandalized/​stolen as the office sent out papers regarding this matter. Overall, pretty good place.

The Vinyards at Paseo del Sol is an awesome place to live, they have a great pool and a 24 hour gym. The staff is extremely friendly and the community is kept very clean!

Veronica comment on my last review saying that we talked in person about the smoking but yet again she lied. We never talked about the smoking problem. Every time I would say something about the smoking problems, I would talk to Nicole or Amber. I probably only talked to Veronica like four times the whole time I was leasing from them and it was all about moving out. Stop lying Veronica, it makes you and the company look bad.
And I leave y’ll with don’t move in here. The place is a joke!

The management team is trying to enforce everything but it is amazing that people walk around at all times of the day, including outside sales people and residence on their balconies/​porches, blatantly smoking. Kinda hard to report every person you see. I know there is a whole page on the contract about it, but people still ignore it sadly.
They did add more dog bags throughout the complex and that has really helped. They are starting to add more free events per month which is nice. They have complementary Bikes to use during business hours. If they address one or both of the 2 main concerns I had in my last review, then they would increase in stars/​rating.

These apartments are very nice and the location is great. It’s right next to the shopping center, you can walk across the street and you’re there. The fitness center and pool are great as well. The Management staff are very nice and professional.
The only thing I can say about these apartments is that they are quite expensive, but they do have a special going with the first month rent off.
If it wasn’t for the monthly rental prices I would have given this place a 5 star rating.
