Chestnut Place Apartments

The guy who runs the apartment complex, a.k.a: the coolest landlord ever

Chestnut Place offers two- and three-bedroom apartments; pet deposit is $200 [March 2005]. This complex is on the Unitrans L bus line and near both Chestnut Park and Davis Manor shopping center.

There are by far more families living in Chestnut Place than there are students. If you don't mind music blasting at all hours and hoards of tiny kids screaming and riding their bikes around the pool, then it's not such a bad place to live.

Wallace (the landlord) is indeed a pretty nice guy; he's good about maintenance and he's the only landlord we had that didn't try to cheat us out of our damage deposit. —BarnabasTruman

2007-05-14 17:58:29   Take these comments seriously. They deleted the old negative comments. If you love blasting mariachi music at all hours and screaming kids this is the place for you. The police are regularly at the complex. Cars are not safe in the parking lot. 3 weeks ago the police served a warrant on someone in the complex. They're now out on bail and back at the complex. If you look on the ground near the back you can see police markings outlining evidence spots. Wallace Chan the landlord is nice and fixes things, he is very pleasant to deal with but he also rents to anyone. He will not evict people from the complex even when they are criminals. As I write this I am listening to blasting mariachi music. If you move here, consider buying a gun, and a good pair of ear plugs. You can also break a lease if you choose. No court would side with Wallace Chan. —davisanonymousl

2008-03-09 17:16:28   I've lived here for a couple years and have enjoyed the price and the pool. Wally is indeed a good landlord. davisanonymousl was correct, 2007 was a bad year. The meth heads, the gangstas and the cops made this place scary.

But AGCohen is also correct, it's a nice place now. The scary and noisy people have left or been evicted, and today it's full of quiet foreign students and Mexican families who will turn the mariachi down if you ask.

For the record, I've never had my car broken into, even when I leave it unlocked with my ipod inside. There have been bikes stolen, but nobody seems to want my old schwinn that I've left unlocked for 2 months now. —WilliamBeamish
