Fairway Estates

My fiancé and I, recently moved from the Bay Area to Manteca. Sometimes finding the right place to live can be a challenge. When we arrived at Fairway Estates we noticed there was a Police Department directly across from the complex; it was quiet, and the environment was well maintained. When we entered the management office we were greeted and attended by Taylor one of the management staff; She was very friendly and professional, and stood out from most management staff Ive dealt with. The other staff members are friendly and professional as well, even the maintenance man. So far, are stay at Fairway Estates has been great. We recommend this place to anyone looking for a quiet, well kept, peaceful atmosphere with great staff.

The worst place in Manteca to live. I have lived here with my family less than 2 years. The building is shit. The inside of the aparments are not up to date. The rental price is ridiculous for the shape of the apartment. Instead of fixing things and updating they cover it up with paint. You can always smell the smoke/​pot outside. And the staff… Thats another story. They are rude and horrible. If these were the ladies i had to deal with when i first moved in i would have ran away from this place as fast as i could. They are so rude. You can never get ahold of them. They are suppose to have office hours but when you go during their so called office hours they always have a sign be back later. Except on rent day, on the 1^st of the month they are sure to be there to get their checks from everyone. The parking here is horrible. The place overall is awful. Go elsewhere! So many better options. Never rent here. Glad to leave this place. Never so happy to move any place until we lived here

When we moved a nice lady helped us. She was an Army Veteran but than she left so we were left with immature front office staff. We never can get a hold of anyone and the office was always closed. Never open when we need them and when someone was there, we were not welcomed. The look of inconvenience was all over their face. Little by little, the place was being occupied by the strangest people and the smell of marijuana filled the air. Too bad this place is being run to the ground. Stay away!!!

Don’t know where to begin. This apartment complex is hands down the worst I have ever had to deal with in my rental history. Not only do the apartments smell like cigarette smoke infused by cheap paint the apartments are in fact very old and run down. I have been living at fairway estates for less than a year and it has caused me so much stress in my life. The staff in the front office are rude and unprofessional and are never in the office during the posted office hours. Walked out of my front door and spotted two rats running across my front porch and can hear them on top of my roof. Please if you are looking for a place to stay think and rethink your decision to rent here.

I have been living at Fairway Estates for 9 months. This facility is clean, well-​kept, and the staff is easy to talk to and friendly. I just decided to extend my lease for another year. This is a quiet complex that is next to the Police Department and local shopping center. Also, the golf course is right next door! I would recommend this apartment complex. Also, all the neighbors I have met nearby are friendly.

Horrid, but where do I start…
Management, awful! Not only rude and unprofessional, they lack costumer service skills completely. Being in the hotel business I understand how to try and accommodate everyone, a guest or just a visitor. This management DOES NOT.
Secondly a office full of liars, stated in the rental agreement and posted online of a «quiet community» and «intolerant to noise», they fail to mention the LARGE team of non-​English speaking garden crew that is on property from 8AM to 12PM!!! Sadly enough when I tried to ask for different suggestions to accommodate a paying rent tenant I was treated with rudeness and unprofessionalism then as well I was told to, «GET A DIFFERENT JOB» or «USE EAR PLUGS» just because I work graveyard. Again working in hotels I would get FIRED if I ever spoke to a guest like that.
Thirdly, cheaters or an office of uncaring individuals. I have lived in other run down apartments before, but this place takes the NASTY award, instead of maintaining the problems such as countertops (in the bathroom/​kitchen), tub/​shower and windows/​window coverings, they just tell the maintenance man (there is only one or two for the WHOLE property!!) to cover it up but NOT fix it because in a matter of DAYS it all just resurfaces. Its embarrassing to have any company over and disgusting to live in.
Also with the onsite laundry and gym, they fail to mention until after you sign the lease that both close at 9PM and don’t open again till 9AM the next day — Oh but that’s IF they are on time. Mostly for the laundry on numerous occasions they don’t open it until 12PM, THREE HOURS LATE! What would happen if grocery stores and banks opened 3 hours late 2 or 3 times a week? Also on top of that when the machines are «WORKING» and the coin release isn’t working, they don’t have keys onsite to open and get your money back. Instead they LIE to you saying they will call they company for you but after 3 times of this happening I NEVER got any of my MONEY back. I don’t use the facilities anymore. Also when its a weekend and management are off duty I called the «24 hour emergency number» because the machine wouldn’t open so I could get my clothes, and as you would guess from this apartment complex the «24 hour emergency number» was DISCONNECTED and NO LONGER in service! It’s all just a huge JOKE!
DO NOT RENT HERE! Even in desperation, I would rather be homeless again then deal with the rude, uncaring, unprofessional jokes here at this apartment complex. I am paying for an early contract release just to be out of here sooner. I wish someone would have written more truthful reviews about this place and I would have saved my family and I a lot of time and money. A disappointing joke!

Older buildings (asbestos in the ceilings) but bigger rooms than new places. Small patios could be bigger if had less landscaping. Laundry rooms are biggest pitfall no matter what time I try to go… they are busy. Also too expensive to wash and dry. Very clean complex tho. They are letting crappy people move in and that is why I moved out. Punks and hoodlums hang around too much. Noisy street.

Nice complex. Fairly quiet. Buildings are older, and a little rundown, but well maintained. Central air works well and is impressively energy efficient. More parking and laundry machines would be nice, but they’re adequate. Nice pool and fitness center, and the staff are friendly and helpful. All in all, a nice community.
