The Springs

Absolutely horrible! New management is extremely lazy. So many people moving out of here for numerous reasons:
1)Definitely not a place for children since the gates are always broken. When you ask the management to fix the gates, they are poorly trained to give you the same answer over and over: «waiting on other quotes». Bums come in and out of here all the time along with punk ass kids and drug dealers since everyone has access to the apartments through all the broken gates. Quit fixing the locks and put new gates up… doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results is the definition of insanity (or a poorly ran business that doesn’t care about the safety of its tenants)
2) Utilities are rediculous here. There are a lot of 2 bedroom units that have 6 – 8 people living in them and the neighbors have to pay for their water usage. Again, you let the staff know about your water bill… they say it’s because the city of corona had a water $ increase. In reality, my buddy works for the water district and not once have they increased $. Management throws a lot of extra prices at you to make up for all the empty units they have… they have a quota to hit. Expect an extra 250.00 for utilities on top of your rent…
3) you are right next to the fire station and every night firetruck and/​or ambulance will wake you, kids or pet making you hate the place even more.
This place is a joke, and the staff will not put down their spoons and answer the phones.

This community is under new and horrible management. Please take the time to read the «reviews not currently recommend» section because unfortunately every word you read there is sadly true. In short, when the old company owned it the place was nice, clean and friendly. Ever since the new company took over this past summer sadly I felt I had to go. The water, sewer and hot water service went from $ 60 a month to $ 150 every single month! For only 2 people in the apartment. The worst part about the springs is the new, incompetent, management that you have to endure while you’re there. They never know the answer to any question that you have, they only smile when they’re trying to get you to stay or they’re taking your rent check. Loud music, trash spilling out of trash cans, right next to one of the lowest rated elementary schools as well so you have to transfer your child out to have a chance at a good education. There are people always out late at night, roaming the community, smoking, drinking and talking loudly. P. S. No one picks up their dogs poop. I would pass on this place unless you desperately need shelter and have the patience of a nun to deal with the constant stupidity that they call management. Oh and they will take your whole deposit and charge you even more. Don’t count on getting it back. Buyer Beware.

Lived here for 14 months. Worst experience of my life. With the non-​stop sirens from fire trucks and ambulances at least 4 times per day driving through River & Cota, I could not get any peace and quiet. My neighbors were a nightmare, the first set argued and fought at 2am drunk as can be, then the second set were no better. They argue and fight on a daily basis and you can hear everything through the paper thin walls. I was moved out of my apartment for 1 week for major repairs in my kitchen because there was a water leak which eventually caused mold to spread through my cabinets. The property always looks trashy and had trash literally everywhere. The gates were routinely broken and when they did work, there are always people waiting at the gate in their car because they didn’t have a gate key. Then there would be jerks who would drive around you when you went to put in the gate key so they could get in first. This was the worst slumlord piece of trash I have ever lived in and I have been a resident of section 8 housing. Surprisingly the section 8 housing has more respectable people than here. During my stay at The Springs, my apartment continuously reeked of weed from the neighbors. I would have all of my doors and windows closed by the smell would seep in regardless. I notified the apartment manager 6 times but yet the problem was never taken care of and considering this was a violation of the lease terms under «foul odors» it seems that the staff here does not enforce any rules. You have people digging through the trash were it states «No dumpster diving», the pool is rarely kept up and people are periodically parking in your covered parking space making it a hassle to have to call the tow company and get their car towed. During my 14 months I had to do this 4 times. After your lease is up, your rent will increase $ 300 per month and when it comes time to sign a new lease you are going to always see and increase in cost, for mine it was $ 150 more per month than the original lease price. I ended up finding a better place for an extra $ 200 /​month on top of what I paid for that tiny 1br and my new place is a 2br /​2ba with washer and dryer included, 940sq ft. I would recommend living elsewhere if you value your quality of life. If you are a low life loser, then this is the place for you. Also, new manager John Byrd disrespected my family as well as myself. Maintenance couldn’t fix anything right the first time and I am not joking when I say their maintenance staff is a joke. They entered my apartment without notifying me or my consent as a lease holder.
If you think this place is decent, try actually looking. because if you considered this place, your head is up your backside. If you read the lease you are required to have the carpets professionally cleaned otherwise you are charged $ 60 to do so and $ 90 for cleaning. In the end, do not expect to get your whole deposit back because for what California law states as normal wear and tear, The Springs considers to be your «damages» and forces you to pay for it. I left my apartment in perfect shape, no dings or holes in the walls. No scratches and perfectly clean carpet with no spots nor dirty marks anywhere. I did not receive my whole deposit back and at previous apartment communities I was given the full amount.
Slumlord is the only word to describe The Springs.

I moved here in April. I read all the reviews 3 days before my move in date. Great. They were really bad. At least 85% bad. I was livid! I called & was asking how to get my deposit back & everything.
My plan was to stay for the 1^st month & leave.
Well, in the end I ended up staying here. & to be honest it’s really not a bad place to live! I really enjoy it. It’s quiet for the most part. It’s peaceful, everyone does their own thing & not concerned about anyone else. The rent is not that bad compared to other places & your around everything u could need or want. Nothing is too far, so it makes it a very comfortable place to live. I have no real complaints. I would definitely recommend the springs to friends & family :)

Great location, very near 91 fwy, metro link, 15 fwy. Very friendly office personnel, reasonably rent rates.

Decent rent and theres always available parking. It’s a pretty well kept community. The office manager literrally knows everyone by name (or apartment number, lol) and she’s pretty good and following up with complaints. She lives right by the pool. In the summer it does get a bit annoying because she’s kinda like a strict watch dog, but rules are rules and everyone knows them before moving in. The did keep my entire deposit at move out. To be fair, it’s because we left a lot of stuff at the apartment upon moveout and they caled it a «trash out fee», but it might have been a bit excessive. In gerneral, when moving into ANY place, be super harsh upon move in on the condition report, like state every single scratch, spot on a carpet or other type of blemish, that way they wont be so hard on you upon move out.

The rent appears very reasonable but there’s amenity fees, gas, water and trash which tacks an extra 10% on to the rent. It is difficult to get entire deposit back even if you leave the apartment clean.
