Creekside Village

Scary Mary is the manager. The complex is surrounded by crack houses. People here are great but it’s way overpriced and we get treated like chumps by the management. Pool and hot tub is not operative half the time. Constant inconveniences by management. It’s not all Scary Mary’s fault but she’s the main reason this place feels unwelcoming.

While I enjoyed living at Creekside Village and found the place to be kept nice, good location, and pleasant people, I did not enjoy my move out experience. Be prepared for them to charge you for carpet cleaning and cleaning of the apt, no matter how clean you leave it. At first questioning, I was told this was a «standard fee» that they charge everyone, so I inquired as to why that wasnt listed in my lease contract? After that, I was then told that I was charged this because carpet cleaning and basic cleaning isn’t considered «normal wear and tear.» In all the places I have rented, I have never been charged any sort of fee upon move out. They changed management while I was living there, and it seems ConAm management is not going to being a great managment group for the renters.

I read all the reviews and we still moved in now here for two months and I can tell you parking is exactly what they said horrible can’t have anybody come over to visit there’s nowhere for them to park when we moved in they told us they were in the process of making people clean out their garages so parking would be no problem. maintenance doesn’t clean up cigarette butts, animals poop along the lawns neighbors are not very nice about their music at night driving through the complex. maintenance people speed around in the golf cart, if you have anything broken in your apartment it takes two months to get fixed if not longer I’m still waiting on a new toilet that was broken when I moved in two months ago and They still haven’t came to fix it. i have put in work orders three times now. our toilet tank is broken and is leaking but you pay for water /​sewage and trash on top of paying rent. you pay for your water so they don’t care if your water bill is extremely high for a running toilet as much money as I’m paying this place should be amazing but is not. When I moved in I asked management about all those reviews and she told me none of them were true but so far they all are.

Creekside Village is way over priced for the location. It is easily located in the sketchiest part of Vancouver. Not only that but our back yard area was literally adjacent to a drug rehab facility. I don’t want to hate on the recovery addicts, but it is not pleasant to live next the screaming, fights, and late night going ons. Not to mention if we left our blinds open they would have full view into our place all the time. No thanks! I really felt like they should have mentioned when we looked at the place, «like hey btw you are living next to drug addicts».
We stayed the duration of the lease, and instead of it going month to month they raised our rent by almost $ 300, can you believe that? Now, you must thinking we were bad tenants. No, we were never late on rent, with the exception of a screw up on their end, the online auto-​pay for rent does not work, we were charged late fees because it didn’t process the payment. From then on I had to manually pay every month, which is a hassle. We didn’t take up any extra parking, we were quiet, clean and mellow people. What could possibly motivate a company to get rid of good tenants who were already paying more than the going local rate for an equal dwelling? Seems sketchy and strange. Needless to say we decided to move out, we wanted to move out anyways this just gave us the extra nudge we needed to get going on it.
The management was basically useless if any issues arose.
We had a mice on top of everything else. We are clean people, so it wasn’t because of us. Basically more than half the kitchen became unusable because they were found in almost all the cabinets, they would leave droppings behind. When we asked for them to resolve it, they sent out an incompetent Orkin man who put down a few traps. They didn’t cover up the holes the mice were coming from despite several attempts and requests for them to do so.
Nothing was ever fixed that was broken. For example, I had a clogged sink and I did it myself.
All the counters, sinks, toilets etc were really cheap and out of date. One of the toilets had been just been painted in order to cover up how horrible it was.
None of the utilities are included, and they can get pretty steep pretty fast.
Also you can’t pay with credit card because they charge you like $ 25 extra a month or something. I don’t remember exact number.

After living here for over a year now, I can honestly say this is the best apartment complex I’ve ever lived in. We moved to a smaller unit and got almost all of our deposit back on the first one. That’s never happened to me before. Eve is the manager and she is great, really sweet and attentive. Everything is always handled promptly and if this place were in Prtland I’d never move! This is probably one of the best apartments in the area.

If you are thinking about living here, think again!!!
This place is horrible. Management’s idea of solving problems is to tell you that there is nothing they can «legally» do or to keep telling you they are working on the problem while actually doing nothing. Most pet owners don’t abide by the rules asking them to clean up after their pets. Our first week was spent cleaning cat urine off our patio door because the neighbor’s cat sprayed it constantly. Nothing like coming home to a house that smells like cat urine! Not to mention the neighbor two doors down who let their giant dog defecate in front of our door without cleaning it up. It was like walking though a landmine.
Our current neighbors cats love to leave dead mice and birds in front of our door, pretty much on a weekly basis. This creeps me out almost as much as when we can hear the mice running around in the ceiling and walls we share with the cats owners. Disgusting!
It got even better when new neighbors moved in a few months later and began having LOUD obnoxious parties most nights and the icing on the cake was when the cops showed up at 3am because our neighbors were harassing an elderly man walking his dog. A friend of ours recently told us they almost moved to Creekside, but reconsidered when a police officer friend of theirs warned them against it. I sure do wish I had a friend like that before moving here!
The parking situation is also HORRIBLE. If you will ever need to use more than your reserved parking spots, good luck. Cars are always parked along curbs, not in spots, making it close to impossible to back out of your spot without hitting someone parked illegally.
If you don’t like hearing your neighbors every move this is also not the place for you. It seems that every time our neighbors walk up the stairs the glasses in our cabinets clink together. Its also great when you can tell what TV show they are watching from what you can hear of the show through the wall.
I’ll admit the pictures of this place make it look awesome! That’s what fooled us to. But I’ve attached a few picture of what you’ll really find here.
Who knows? Maybe I’m the only one that is counting down the minutes until I can move from here? Maybe people are happy living here? They do have free tanning, yippee.
