Glen Forest Apartments

I am currently moving out of this place and to be honest it couldn’t have come at a better time. This place is awful. I lived hear a year and it has been the worse living here. On the surface it looks good everyone if friendly when you are moving in, after that it’s all an act. In my apartment I have no hot water no range for the stove and the apartments are infested with roaches I have no idea why no one else complains. Please if you are looking into living here look else where it’s not worth your time here.

The rent is considerably reasonable and the maintenance is doing great. They pay water and gas which is good. The only bad thing is we are in the T building and the neighbors are pretty rough. If they put you downstairs within number T1-​T10, good luck coz this complex has a bunch of rambunctious kids running around the hallways, courtyard making it their football /​soccer field, and they constantly shout like they own the place. The parents don’t even care that their kids are making all that noise at times in the middle of the night. I know the complex cannot control these but we have rules that no playing in courtyard and no skating, biking along the hallways which is not strictly implemented. We have addressed these concerns several times to the property manager, and we just hope that they put this complaints in the responsible tenants record so that future property manager would note that these renters are not so good renters. These noisy neighbors have been visited by the security and courtesy patrol many times but still they don’t care. They jump up and down and bang their floor like no one lives downstairs. Parking too is a problem coz really people park here like jerks and they are so inconsiderate of making space for others to be able to park. We even had our car smashed on the side and fender. Plus they started to put electricity for remote controlled operated garage and till now doesn’t work. They jack up the rent this year but no major changes. I just hope they would be more choosy of their renters and make background check before they let em rent coz really sometimes is with the people who lives in the complex who makes the neighborhood feel like you live in a ghetto! This is Orange county! Please!

Very poor management with no problem solving skills. Rent has been raised twice in the past year. Workers are friendly and do what they can to help but everything has to have management approval and sometimes requests are severely delayed/​ignored. Problems with the property are blamed on neighbors or tenants themselves. Lived here over 2.5 years and the area is not what you’d expect from «Anaheim.» From kids/​gangs hanging out with little to non existing security to watch such a large complex. For the price, you’re likely to find better options than this.

My boyfriend and I moved into Glen Forest almost a year ago (October). For the most part living here is a good experience. We don’t have loud neighbors, inside the complex is very well kept. The gardeners keep all of the shrubbery very nice. However, if I had a choice, I would move out.
CONS:
1. We have two washers in our complex, ours being complex A (closest to the liquor store). One of the washers hasn’t worked properly since we’ve moved in. It leaves your clothes soaking wet! This obviously is an issue as now there is only 1 washer that has to be shared with I would say at least 10 other tenants. The issue has been brought to the attention of the management and although they kindly reimburse you for what was lost, the machine still does not get fixed.
2. One of my biggest issues is the shower. It’s absolutely terrible. There is ONE heater for one complex which consists of a minimum of 25 apartments and as a result, the water is constantly changing temperature while you shower. When we first moved in, we tried going to Home Depot to fix it ourselves, but we were told by more than one professional, that the issue is old piping. I brought this to the attention of the staff and again, it wasn’t fixed. We learned how to maneuver it so it’s tolerable, but it took us about 3 – 4 months to catch on. Because we are on a lease, we obviously cannot just move out.
3. As I previously stated, we live in complex A, which so happens to be by an ally. Yes, I know this isn’t anything the complex can correct, but if you’re considering these apartments, it’s important for you to know there are a lot of drug addicts and homeless people in the ally right by our apartment. Our bedroom faces the ally and we hear all kinds of commotion quite often.
4. I agree with the previous posters. PARKING! Parking is absolutely terrible. There are cars that just put their emergency lights on and park in the middle of the street. I have no idea why the authorities haven’t started ticketing these people. Not only is it annoying, it’s a hazard. Be home by 2pm or be prepared to hunt for parking for about 45 mins. This leads to my next complaint.
5. You only get one parking spot per household. And yes it is a garage, but you share it with someone else. Yes, I mean with someone from a completely different apartment. The contract states that only the car is allowed and that the garage is not meant for storage (another issue) but people do it anyway which results in a very tight spot for the person who comes home later.
6. The gate to the garage is ALWAY broken. And for some reason it takes maintenance forever to fix it. This is a concern for me. Knowing the area we live in, I would appreciate it if at least the gate to the garages was secure so we don’t get random bums digging through our trash (yes, it happens).
7. Although the staff is kind, Martha does not speak English very well and sometimes that causes issues when trying to explain something to her. There’s been countless times where I’ve had to ask to speak with Ana because Martha has misinformed me, I’m assuming because she doesn’t understand.
PROS:
1. The rent isn’t too bad, very reasonable
2. There is an old a/​c unit that will cool down the entire house if need be.
3. They pay gas and water which is a great help.
4. Pets are allowed.
5. The gardeners do a really nice job at maintaining the area.
6. The inside of the complex is well kept.
7. I have never seen any bugs of any kind not rats.

Been living here for more than 2 years and so far everything’s okay from the management. Celina is the head from the maintenance which is ²⁴⁄₇ available and very easy to talk to. I recommended the apartment to my friends also and they are satisfied. Very accessible to everything — freeways, stores, restaurants. Not disappointed since I moved here.

I’ve lived here about 2 yrs now and the neighborhood is very nice and quiet! Management/​Maintenance are very nice, one call and they will try their very best to help you out! Just look for Celina/​Martha and they will assist you.

I have been living at glen forest apartments for years and it has been great and theres always staff available anytime you need them. The manager celina is always visible and always on top of everyone to make sure everything and every one is given attention. No complaints so far, highly recommend this.

My family and I have been living here for almost 2 years now and it was a pleasant experience so far. We have no complaints so far. The management are awesome especially Celina. Our unit and the surroundings are clean. We love living here and the neighborhood is really quiet which is good for our kids. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a nice place to live. THUMBS UP!

Love this apartment complex. Been a resident here for 10 years and consider
Glen Forest to be the best apartment community I have lived in. Nothing negative to comment on. Celine, Glen Forest manager, is easy to communicate with and handles all issues promptly and efficiently. Maintenance workers are skillful and definitely know their job. The grounds are very well maintained and pool always kept clean. I highly recommend Glen Forest to prospective renters in the Anaheim area.

Great complex Apartment ! Rent price is good especially if you have pets. The neighbors are nice and I love the manager. If you guys are having problems, look for Selena; she will definitely help you out. I thought I would have a problem living here due to the bad reviews I have read, but honestly its not bad at all. The maintenance workers are super dooper nice. I love the environment and the surroundings is always clean; plants and flowers are always kept trimmed. :) Def. Recommendable.

My family and I have lived at Glen Forest for over 2 years. We enjoy using the play equipment, pools and have used the new outside dining area by the pool several times for picnics. The atmosphere in the office makes dialogue with managment and staff easy. Everyone is very friendly. The apartment manager Celina is very helpful and will go out of her way to accomodate your needs. We really do enjoy living here :)

My family and I have lived here for 4 going on 5 months. And let me tell you, its not as bad as people make it seem. Before moving in, I read all these reviews, claiming that these apartments were infested with Roaches, Spiders, and RATS! To this day, none of those allegations are true. Roaches are a problem when you don’t maintain a clean home, and if you have that problem they offer an exterminator every Thursday. NEVER have I seen a rat!
A big plus is that the bedrooms are a really good size! We can fit our cal-​king and still have room to walk. They pay Water and Gas, which is a huge help! The one and only thing that really sucks is the parking situation, people don’t know how to park! But everything else is pretty good, they have something special for the kids almost every holiday, and they have Bingo nights! If you need a place to throw a party they have a recreation room. Their maintence staff is really friendly, you treat them we’ll, you get the same in return. For example the lease consultant Martha is super friendly. My husband was sick for a couple months and she was aware, anytime she saw me she would ask how he was doing, wishing him well and she even gave me some home remedies to help him get better! Celine is really nice too, its as simple as being respectful and you’ll recieve respect in return.

The review below me nailed it. I don’t know what the story it, but people cannot park worth jack shit in the neighborhood. It’s a freakin joke. My wife gets the garage so I park on the street, get home from work around 6pm and get to drive by all the would-​be spots if people in this neighborhood people didn’t park like inconsiderate assholes. Forced to park blocks away, or risk getting a parking ticket in the alley.

Been here a month and half. Apartment is nice. Maintenance crew is friendly and quick at least with my experience. Treat them nice they’ll treat you nice. Parking sucks big time. People cannot park. Leaving gaps or can’t park close enough to the red line. Unattended cars for days. Work vans always outside. Front office is friendly with us. Again treat them nice they will treat you nice. We haven’t used laundry mat we go outside. Few neighbors go outside and make noise or drink and smoke. But mostly all neighbors are quiet and respectable. Courtyard is enclosed so during day a lot of kids go out and play and run around. Few roaches every now and then but they just recently cleared another apartment. Haven’t seen any rats in or around apartments except friendly squirrels. Streets weeping is Wednesday which passes anywhere from 8 – 12 Uverse available

So I moved in 2 months ago, and all I have to say, it’s not as bad as I thought it would be, after reading all the reviews on this place ( Unilocal & aprtment finder). Roach infestations not a problem in my unit, I know it has to do with how clean you maintain your household. Secondly, About the rats, I have seen more squirrels running around than rats, meanings I haven’t seen ANY rats or mouses. The maintenance team isn’t so bad TO US, we call, they come the same day and fix whatever the problem is. The only thing I can honestly say I Frickin hate about this place is that you cant find parking anywhere after 2pm, mornings there’s more availability since everyone is leaving to work and school, people literally act like hawks when it comes down to getting a parking space, but who can blame them. Also, people DO NOT KNOW HOW TO F-​ing park in this place, leaving huge ass gaps or parking too damn close to your vehicle! Other than that, in my experience so far, it’s not that bad. After all we are living in the ghetto, we cant expect a 5 star living environment.

the worst ever!

only good thing that they allow dogs thats it.

Please do not move here! Roaches, ants, and spiders GALORE. No matter what I do, they never stop coming.
Also, it’s pretty shady at night with homeless people and guys just standing around in the alleyways. Being disturbed by the loud music booming from cars, helicopters circling the area, cops coming for domestic abuse cases, or the neighbors yelling and throwing stuff is a constant thing.
You want to go to the grocery store? Sure, there’s a Stater Bros where people ask for change constantly– they hawk you, seriously. Last time I went there were druggies and I literally saw needles just laying around in front of the entrance… Really?
When I was out of town, my window was smashed and broken into. The only reason it was fixed was because of one actual nice neighbor who saw it.
And you can forget about parking. There is never any. EVER.
If you want to pay $ 965/​month to live in the crappiest part of Anaheim, be my guest.

WORST PLACE I EVER LIVED!!! Rats, heavy infestation of roaches, leaky windows, leaky faucets, graffiti everywhere, child abuse happening in your face and parking was a nightmare! I witnessed a fist fight in the middle of the day with kids all around. The management is good at selling the place to new tenants, beyond that they are useless! I would have to be homeless on the streets before I would ever consider living here again!!!
