I personally avoid anything near J street, the apartment was big and spacious, just not my style
2005-07-17 01:56:43 So far only living here a year I can say that the management is quick with repairing problems. The amenities here are quite adequate. They have two laundry rooms on site. At the clubhouse they have a small fitness center and a rather spacious study room. They have the standard swimming pool and jacuzzi setup. The management is pretty chill about most things. This complex seems to be quite quiet. The only downside here is probably the fact they are right on railroad tracks. So the noise from the freight cars squeaking on the track can be heard all the time. Also the gardeners, which seem to be here everyday are quite noisy, but at least polite to the tenants. There is plenty of parking here as long as you live here. The only problem I have with the apartment is that I wish that the units were central heat and air, oh well. But as the previous comment states they are quite spacious apartments. —MikeMele

The apartment itself is decent, provided you don't have a lot of stuff, and can withstand the summer time without air conditioning. The dishwashers do NOT heat up properly, and don't adequately clean the dishes. Rent for a one bedroom going up to $840/month in the fall. RIDICULOUS!! I just moved to a 2 bedroom apartment with a washer and dryer, central heat and air, AND a balcony and am paying $845 a mo for it, in Woodland. Davis Property Management companies absolutely rip students!!
2007-03-29 09:10:12 I just renewed my lease here, I've been very pleased with the whole experience. Yes, there's no central A/C, but if you buy an extra box fan, that problem is solved. The management is AMAZING. Sheri, the Manager is super-friendly, but is tough when you need her to be (she yelled at PG&E on our behalf when they overcharged us). Steve, the Matenece man will usually fix any problems the same day you put the work order in. Amanda, the assistant manager is the friendliest person you've ever met (no joke). The apartments arn't brand new like all the South Davis ones, but they are bigger for a much better price. —PeterAnselmo
2008-04-07 21:41:36 It's been a pretty nice place this last year. All the common facilities are nice. I agree the gardeners seem to be doing something every weekday morning but the grounds are some of the best around. My biggest complaints are 1.) the FREE INTERNET(aka crappy) IS THE SLOWEST CONNECTION I HAVE EVER SEEN! I've never been able to stream even a you-tube video. 2.) while the staff have been happy to take care of anything, their hours are are only 9:30-5:00...difficult for anyone that actually has to work normal hours. Overall a pretty nice place but I would consider either upgrading the "FREE" internet to a faster speed or getting it from a different provider. —drozelle

Well I've never really done this, but ho ho...
Oh well just because its free doesnt mean it should be crappy you should be getting around 1200 kbps down and 300 kbps up and it should be able to do youtubing fine. I suspect there is something wrong. If you could take a few moments and give me a call at 758-0119 Id be happy to help you. —omrob
2008-07-06 12:46:53 Do the tenants at Cranbrook have to pay a water bill like all the Pinecrest tenants across the street are complaining about? Thanks. —LouisM
— Nope! The water is included in the rent.
2008-09-20 23:35:39 Hey, can anyone give me a review of the 2 bedroom apartment. Someone, who has been living there for at least a couple months. Thanks —bayer044
The 2 bedroom units have decently big bedrooms, there is a shared bath and the master has a walk in that I can lie down in so it's like 7 feet deep. The units we paint are good, and the head maintenance is very cool, the 2nd maint man down the tier went to DHS and one of the younger managers also attended DHS as well, it's a tandem property so you get lots of students, but the complex is more or less quite. What were you looking for in specifics? —StevenDaubert
2008-09-21 18:44:04 Thank you StevenDaubert. I'm wondering hos is it to live in the second bedroom with no AC and no direct heating. Also how are things with things going bad - plumbing problems, possible infestation, that kind of things. Basically, the more you can tell me the better. Thank you in advance.
2008-11-30 14:22:33 I'm moving in soon. What's provided along with the apartment? I heard the folks at Adobe get a mini-fridge, is that true? I'm from India, so am not used to really cold winters- will there be heating? —varunshankar
