The Woodlands Apartments, Sacramento CA

I moved here in June 2017 and it's a pretty decent apartment complex. The staff is nice and usually very helpful. The main pool is cool but the others look kind of sketch. I never feel unsafe at night time so that's a huge plus. Our appliances were new and they work great. The washer & dryer in my unit however, are very ancient. They are so loud and management will not change them out. Other than that the apartment is nice and decently kept. Could use some improvements but nothing major.

Thank you everyone for the reviews. I won't be moving here. Thank you for keeping me out of jail. I'm going to get this building closed down for scamming everyone. Everyone need to move now

Look elsewhere, this place is a scam. They want to charge you $1300 a month for a cheaply renovated apartment due to “market trend. ” I call BS.

First of all, they charge you for EVERYTHING: water, sewage, trash, landscaping, pest control, and a ridiculous $3 monthly setup fee on top of the overpriced rent. What is my rent paying for other than to line their greedy pockets? They provide virtually no benefits to renting. You’re basically living with the hassle of Apartments and paying like your living in a purchased condo.

There is never any parking for guests, EVER. If you have more than one car in your household you are screwed. There are constantly homeless people and drug dealers roaming around the complex all hours of the night digging through your garbage and stealing things off people’s balconies.

Two times I had to call for maintenance and specifically told the incompetent office that I DO NOT want them entering my apartment without me being present. Both times maintenance let themselves in without knocking. I called the office both occasions to complain, and both times they said they would “make a note. ” Clearly that never happened because they must have better things to do than their job.

If you want to leave, good luck. They make you give a 60 day notice. This is the first apartment I lived at that ever required such a ridiculous thing. This is so stupid, and it’s entrapment! No apartment complex is going to be willing to hold a place for you for two months! You have to put in your 60 day notice and cross your fingers and hope you can find another place to live before you move out!

Also, if you decide to move into a higher price unit with a washer and dryer in it, don’t do it here. It’s a tiny washing machine that doesn’t have a hot water hookup. You end up having to do 3 - 4 loads a week if you have more than one person in your household. And the dryer is just as bad. The Woodlands are too cheap to install a dryer vent, so hot humid air blows into your apartment while the dryer runs. It’s ok in winter but when it’s 100+ degrees outside it’s hell.

And finally, let’s go back to your water bill. The water is metered for your entire building and then rebilled to each unit based on the number of people in your household. That’s right, if you have neighbors that overuse and waste water, everybody in your building, including you, gets to pay for it. This is ridiculous and should be illegal!

The only positive thing I have to say about this place is that it is a convenient location if you work downtown. Other than that, expect to pay $1300+ for rent, $130+ for utilities (not even including SMUD which you get to pay for too), having to be careful what to put in the trash, not being able to keep things on your balcony, and never being able to have a place for guests to park, all for the privledge of living in the ghetto part of Natomas.

Look elsewhere to live if you can, these people are scam artists, and no canned corporate response they try to give as a reply on here is going to change anything.

Don't move here not a good place at all it have roaches mice and all types of bugs they don't do nothing to help just not a good place to move you or your family my car got towed out of my spot I had to pay $250 to get it back my house got broke into the office never got back to me about it I only lived here for 3 months before I moved my rent was $1250 and the whole time I was there I was playing $1600 way over priced not a good place at all.

Been living here all of 2017.
Can't complain been great. Erin muy agent has been nothing less than perfect with helping us. Great place to live.

Good if you're in a pinch, if not try elsewhere. Management is friendly but difficult. The apartment itself is made and renovated cheaply.

It got me and my girlfriend through our time in Sacramento, and the location honestly isn't terrible. I just wouldn't live here again

I've lived here for about a month. I love the complex all together. Haven't had a chance to mingle much with people here but Parkin is fine during the day but pretty hard to find at night. The paint and wood flooring is cheap and peels but it does look good. Also the counter looks fancy but it's just a plastic coating that also is peeling off. Not much room for storage but as a first place it is a good choice.

This is my first apartment and so far i love it. Great area! Awesome staff, friendly people and great office pool. I have no issues.

I love this apartment complex! I moved to sac and I'm happy my boyfriend and I chose this one it's perfect!:) Also staff is really nice, and I really enjoy living here!

I've stayed in my place here since last November! When I first moved in, I was extremely satisfied. I worked with Erin and she made the experience totally worth while! She's friendly and easily accessible. My apartment came with all brand new appliances. Whenever I've needed maintenance, they responded and showed up in a timely manner. I'll more than likely be renewing my lease!

Me and my family have been here for about 5 months already and we love it. Everyone is super nice the units are beautiful and maintenance is a great help. Its a great place to live.

Been here for over a month now and I love it. Best apartment complex I have stayed at. Planning on renewing when I can.

The location is set up next to a park where a hobos live and sleep so you often will find something missing from your back patio even a few neighbors have lost their bikes on the 2nd floor. Their are also a group of abondos that come around here and sleep in the vacant apartments and its just very unsettling. Defiantly look for a better place the rent is to high and they're understaffed. I will not be leasing here again

Apartments are pretty standard. Not bad, not amazing. One point of frustration is that they NEVER ANSWER THE PHONE. No exaggeration, never. Not once have I ever had them actually answer when I've called. I don't know why they even have a phone number.

I currently live at The Woodlands Apartments and wish I did not, my lease is up in July and it couldn’t come any faster! The staff is very unprofessional and maintenance staff is a joke. When you call to speak with staff they take no notes of previous conversations and everybody is clueless. I would never recommend anyone leasing an apartment at The Woodlands, unless you like to live in a place where homeless people dig in the trash and major drug activity!

If you want to live in an apartment complex were the management team allows non working occupants with multiple people living in one apartment (although not on the lease) to harass neighbors this is the place for you. Management will protect you for eternity. However, if you work and pay your rent on time and in full, management will ignore you for wanting to live in peace and safety. Don't sign a one year lease. It's your decision

My friend of 17 yrs lives here and there very nice apartment's 3 pools, weight rm very nice with bicycle trail not far. Love it
