The Springs Apartamentos

I lived here from 2017-2023. When I first moved in, this place had actual working springs that were a beautiful namesake to the apartment complex. However, due to incredibly poor and outdated water infrastructure, those same springs broke soon after I moved in. Like clockwork, they filled up every winter from the rain, and as soon as the weather began to warm, they became a cesspool of garbage and breeding grounds for mosquitos. I had to stop walking in shorts at night after being bitten 50+... times in a 15 minute span, and coming down with a mosquito borne illness as a result.

The water problem mentioned in numerous reviews is not to be taken lightly. It is a deeply serious and troubling issue, and you can expect to have your water shut off almost every month. Don’t expect any compensation or leniency in your water bill. Once, the water was shut off for almost the entire week leading up to Thanksgiving. Residents had to schedule showers in a vacant apartment, and when residents went on the news and threatened to sue, they were reminded by management at the time that they wouldn’t have a legal leg to stand on.

Speaking of utilities, you’ll find that the dumpsters are frequently overflowing with trash on the ground. Rather than add additional dumpsters, management has informed residents in the past that they must hold onto their garbage until there’s enough room for additional bags. In the same news letter in which this was done, residents were informed that they may not store garbage outside their doors or on their balconies. Have fun storing garbage in your outdated apartment!

Whatever you do, don’t store valuables in your car. My back windshield was shattered while parked in the complex and my belongings were stolen from my car, after I thought I was lucky to find parking. When I called management, they told me I was out of luck - costing me $300 just to fix my car. They don’t have a consistently working gate, and homeless people just ride their bikes onto the property anyway. Their security is rarely seen and they’re useless. One security guard once used his vehicle to catcall and chase my girlfriend.

The pools are also frequently dirty and poorly maintained. The same can be said of their fitness rooms.

This place is a southeast Fresno apartment on the north end of town, and you’ll be expected to pay rent that’s exorbitantly high for what you’re getting. I was relieved to leave when I did. Lee mas

This is the worst place I've ever lived. Management seem nice until you sign the lease. Once it's signed, you are trapped. The property is managed by a company out of state who really don't care. These properties were built in the 1980s and you would be forgiven for thinking you are still living in the 80s as nothing has been maintained since. Everything is a band-aid repair, despite calls to the office. If you can deal with roaches, rats, mosquitos, dumpster divers and a lack of respect from... management, this place is for you. Lee mas

They did not allow a walk through prior to signing. Noticed immediately of roaches. Notified office when we first moved in. Developed into an infestation. We had to rid of all our personal belongings-furniture I haven’t finished paid off yet, PlayStation, XBox, printers, tvs, sound bars, beds, Nespresso machines, home decor, plants. Literally everything was infested and we lost all of it. My 6 year old and I have them crawling on us when we are sleeping. She doesn’t feel comfortable in her own... home and begs me not to be here. We notified them we had a lawyer and were advised to not pay last month’s rent, as we were moving out. They then sent us an eviction notice. They made attempts in the roach infestation only after I told them I would be contacting the health department. The garage ceiling also leaks, the plumbing sucks and leaks as well, our apartment was broken into, and everything is poorly managed. This complex has caused financial and emotional burdens and its no wonder they have to offer us incentives to even get any good reviews for this place. Don’t make the same mistakes we did. DO NOT MOVE HERE!! Lee mas

There are tons of reasons why this is the worst apartments in Fresno. They faked reviews on their website at best this is a two star establishment, they lied about the crime rate in the area, their "gates" are perpetually broken and left open even when they are fixed, they'll tow your car and not give an explanation, the managers have a "go ask someone else" mentality and are borderline incompetent, to get a single repair is like pulling teeth, my neighbor has had a hole in his ceiling for three... months to quote him "i think they forgot about it", they don't return their deposits, they hike up rent for no explained reason, they take photos of their apartments from low angles to make the apartments seem larger then they are, they lied on the dimensions of the buildings, we reserved a two bedroom two bathroom six months in advanced and they gave us a two bedroom one bathroom "because we double booked", and this is just off the top of my head. These apartments are a blatant example of misinformation and lying to your customers. Lee mas
