UCA Apartamentos

I would have loved to give a good review. I loved the location since I worked and attended CSUF which was across the street. Also super near food, coffee, and stores. But I was horrified by the cockroaches. They just got worse and worse. The attitude our first year was that it occasionally happens, just be diligent about not leaving food out and emptying your garbage every night, and close your drains and you'll be good. Hahaha. Yeah, no, we had our place sprayed multiple times. One of the times... , several times in a row, and we would walk back in and watch a cockroach casually stroll over where it was just sprayed. Second year when you'd call the response was we'll get you on the Orkin schedule - so they were no longer even pretending that this wasn't the norm. I felt like no matter what I did it was a losing battle with the pests. I for sure noticed an increase in the amount our second year. They were there the first year, but you wouldn't see them during the day, etc. But the second year they had just taken over no matter how many times we had them spray, laid traps, got those stupid plug-in bug-away things, and just went on the attack. I pretty much stopped cooking all together because you couldn't trust that the cockroaches hadn't been on the food (even in the fridge, yes we found them in the fridge and freezer). We moved out during the pandemic and I probably would have stayed if not for the bugs.

Management wasn't that great as other reviews have stated, but I would have dealt with that if not for the pests. Lee mas

When my roommate and I first moved into the apartment, we noticed there were red stains on the carpet. Management assured us that they had cleaned the carpet already. When the lease was over, we got charged to replace the carpet ???????
Not to mention the fact that this place is loaded with cockroaches since day one. If you make the choice to move in, make sure you scan the entire house for issues, record them on your phone, and somehow email it to management so they don't try to charge you for... a mistake they made. Lee mas

I saw other reviews about cockroaches, but I didn't think it would be an issue. Upon moving in, I saw some dead ones under the kitchen sink but didn't think too much of it.
Fast forward 3 months and they are EVERYWHERE in the kitchen. We told the leasing office and they sent Orkin pest control to our apartment to spray. But we are still seeing them every day. Apparently, Orkin comes every Thursday to spray the infested apartments.

Also, we have called maintenance three times to fix our... dishwasher, but it is still not working. Now there is stagnant water at the bottom with no way to drain it.

In addition, our shower is always cold, but we get charged so much for hot water. Also, our heater is broken.

SO if you like cockroaches, washing dishes by hand, and being cold, this place is for you.

Avoid if possible. Lee mas

My 2BR/1BA is perfect for my roommate & I. We have not had any problems with insects or unruly neighbors. Everyone is friendly, including staff. Sometimes it does get more noisy on a friday night than during sat/sun but it’s the start of alot of peoples weekend, no biggie. Plenty of parking surrounding my unit. Maintenance is helpful & they get the job done. I will recommend this place to anyone who’s looking.

This apartment complex is a joke. Never resolve problems on time which residents are facing in the apartment after complaining several times.
