Woodside Village Apartments, Ventura CA

I have lived here for a year now and recently had a newborn baby, so safety and cleanliness is really important to me. I can honestly say that I love living here because the complex is quiet, friendly, and always clean/well maintained. Maintenance at Woodside is always on top of everything and willing to go above and beyond to make sure we are taken care of. Stevie is one of the maintenance techs who seems to really care about the tenants and does his best to make sure their units are taken care of. I would 100% recommend living here!

They keep raising the rent for no reason.our washer and dryer shakes violently. They would only let us get Spectrum internet and cable the bedrooms get really hot in the summer and the bathrooms have no windows.

I have had to call a few times when I have had questions about various issues and it has always been a pleasure to speak to Jennifer Dupree. She is always polite, considerate, compassionate and helpful. She is knowledgeable and thoughtful and thorough. I know whenever I ask her a question, she will get me the answer I need. She has great customer service skills and is friendly as well.

I had such a wonderful experience with Jonathan F. He was very kind and helpful. I loved his energy. Thank you for all your help John! (:

I just want to thank Jennifer for being so helpful. I appreciate her follow through and reassurance during this difficult time.

I would like to express my appreciation for Jennifer Dupree. Every time I call the office, no matter how big or small, she is always kind, patient, professional and knowledgable. I cannot convey how nice it is to call and hear a friendly voice willing to help you - such a great customer experience!

I have been at Woodside Village for 20+ years! I want to express about the man who works in the office. His name is Johnathan (I hopes I spelled his name correctly. He is the reason I am re-signing my lease. He goes way beyond what a manager does. He really cares about the community, (Woodside Village) besides that he is charming, he gets things done very quickly and efficiantly, and always calls back when he says he is going to call back. This apartment needs Johnathan cause he is the best person that has worked here in 21 years! Just wanted to express how happy I am to be able to call Woodside Village and get a man that really cares about the renters, and keeping this place safe. Thank You Jonathan! I will need to find out how to spell your name!

I have lived in this complex for over 3 years and while I appreciate the separate units which offer some level of privacy, there are multiple issues that management needs to address before I would recommend it to others. When I first moved here, the layout of the units with large grassy areas between them seemed like a great way to have one's own space and not interfere with neighbors on a daily basis. However, this is not the case as the neighborhood children frequently invade residents' privacy by entering patios and coming close to bedroom windows, making it difficult to feel safe in one's own home. They also damage communal plants and fixtures, such as by ripping out flowers, breaking sprinklers, and leaving trash everywhere. Despite being aware of these issues, management has failed to take any action to address them. I personally know 4 other residents that have moved out as a direct result of the children's behavior and I will be the next if the situation does not improve. Additionally, the area is only cleaned up when management is giving tours. Typically the children are reeking havoc around 9808 Jamestown but often go throughout the entire community.

Another prominent issue is that there are not enough trash cans for the number of tenants living here so sometimes you’ll have to wait several days to be able to throw it out. Despite the lack of trash bins, this does not stop people from jumping in the bin and ransacking your stuff. I’ve seen someone going through the trash at least twice a month for the past year or two. My only solution is to shred everything and hope I never throw out anything personal.

Another problem is that the washing machines break often and can’t even clean a queen comforter without ripping it to shreds. I’ve tried several different comforters ending in the same result. The dryers also barely work and require more than one cycle for your clothes to dry. A very prominent issue is the toilets barely flush. I’m a 120lb female and break the toilet at least once a month.
