Carlyle Apartamentos

Positives: The units in this 20+ year-old complex are roomy compared to the shoebox-size apartments in the newer mid-rise and high-rise complexs in the Valley. The place is pretty well-maintained. It's relatively quiet, depending on which neighbors you have. Maintenance crew is responsive and pleasant.

Negatives: Expensive compared to other nearby complexes, and they will try to hike your rent every year. Plan not to get any of your security deposit back even if you leave the apartment spotless... . There's a gym but it has been closed for over a year due to a painfully slow remodeling of the leasing center building. The rules for the complex are not always enforced (like tenants storing junk on their balconies). Not a particularly friendly community. Very transient. Regular break-ins in the mailboxes. Typical corporate management. Friendly but not always helpful. High turnover. Lee mas

The property management does not provide clear guidelines/ any proper information. We don't find enough parking spaces inside the community to park (no designated spots). However the property manager makes false claims to find ample spots during lease sign. Also our cars get towed without any notice there by in-curing very huge fines to residents.

Very unfriendly/ bad management

My husband and I have lived here a little over a year, and we find it quiet and very well maintained!

Mike and Jesus are the maintenance guys, and they are friendly and courteous, and very responsive.

Nicole, the manager, is always smiling and helpful.

Great amenities like onsite dry cleaning services, gym, pool.

Nice neighbors, too!
