If I could negative stars they would have about -6. Moved in April 2019 Moved out April 2020 as soon as my lease was up! I do NOT recommend anyone move in this place. First off they don't clean anything outside of the complex. Absolutely nothing. Smells like piss on the elevators and inside the laundry rooms. The apartments itself are nice at first glance, wait about a week and everything starts falling apart. The counters are painted very cheaply so everything stains right away. Im a very clean person. As soon as a drop of coffee landed on the counter, it STAINED! They say the facilities are open 24/7 they're only open when the office is open. 9am-6pm. Everything gets locked up when they go home. The washer and dryers NEVER work! Upon move out we cleaned the place spotless! We emailed the leasing office to do a walk through, well because of covid, we couldn't be there. That already made me uneasy because I wouldn't be able to be there while they looked at things. They emailed us back saying the windows on the outside of the 3rd floor are dirty! you got to be kidding me! The 3rd floor!? So then my gf goes back to clean more and they sent her an email of what we needed to pay for. Long story short we ended having to pay to move out!!! The place was SPOTLESS! I have the pictures to prove it. Eff these people. read more

Best apartments I lived in. From The east coast to down south to finally San Diego. Very clean. Constantly attentive. Very active in any maintenance problems. Jessica and Bobbi is understanding also very attentive to the needs of the community read more

I've lived here for almost 9 years, we have had new management for a few years and they have been so amazing! Always making sure that the elevator is in working condition(my boyfriend is disabled and he can't do stairs at all) they put bright lights in the parking lot so now we all feel safe to walk to and from our vehicles. I can't say enough about how they will do anything they can to help fix any problems. We love living here and don't plan on leaving anytime soon. read more

I've been living here for about a year and a half and am overall pretty happy with it. I'll begin with what could be improved: - Roaches. I'm a clean person who has never had an insect problem before, and I see/kill about a few roaches per day. At least they aren't scorpions or millipedes. - Neighbors. Some used to play loud music, after notifying management and pitching a fit, its now pretty quiet in my corner of the building. - Street noise. Depending on where you are in the buildings, it can be super loud. I live by the intersection and can hear the trolleys, a midnight train (it goes anywhere, I guess), emergency vehicles Now for the positives! - Love the layout. Unlike other one bedroom apartments, this one is sectioned so that it feels like you have more rooms instead of one big space. There is a bar that separates the kitchen from the living room, with built in cupboards above it. The kitchen is a good size, it's a square space instead of a crunched rectangular area where you can't move. The sink/vanity is separated from the toilet and shower, the counters are white speckled and the nicest out of all the apartments I've ever been in . Cleaning them is easy and they don't stain. It's got a very roomy walk in closet with built in shelving, there is also a built in linen closet in the bathroom. Lots of places to organize things. A very roomy living room and dining area with ceiling fans, and a tiled entry way is great. - Balcony/patio. Depending on where you are, it can be a private space. I love mine, a refreshing breeze is always rustling the leaves of the trees outside and the sound is so calming. - Double doors. In addition to a double lock front door, there is also a locking metal see through door in front of it. Having those together makes me feel safer. - Air conditioner. Mine is located in the kitchen, other units have theirs in the living room. I do a lot of cooking and like where it's placed. It cools down the living room quickly. The bedroom has a ceiling fan which helps keep it cool while I sleep. - Medicine cabinet and big mirror. The vanity mirror is a several feet wide and at least four feet tall, with a mirrored medicine cabinet next to it. Compared to other apartments, this is a ton of mirror space. The vanity also has working drawers and a special space to sit if desired. - Good toilet. I've never had problems with my toilet overflowing or being a problem, it's also raised so the person using it isn't falling down. - Landlord. I've never had a problem with management being rude to me or my partner. Whenever I call, they are courteous, and resolve my issues immediately. I had a neighbor who played loud music during the night, I told Patty and she spoke to them until they stopped. They've been the best managers of any apartment I've had. Also, they are available every day from around 9 - 6, even Sundays. I think that's really convenient and I feel better knowing that they're there if we need them. I also haven't had a problem with parking. I've only ever had to park across the street once, and it was a holiday weekend. - Trash, there is a garbage chute a short walk from my door. I like being able to drop it in the slot instead of hauling a messy bag above my head and hoping I get it in the dumpster (I'm five feet tall). - Location. I am walking distance to downtown La Mesa, a few parks. It's also high up on a hill, the view East at night is really pretty. - Pet friendly. You are allowed 2 dogs or 2 cats, I don't believe you have to pay a pet deposit for birds or small animals. There is a waste station with poo bags and an attached trash can for dog walking. There used to be a big problem with people not cleaning up after their dogs, however for the last few months it's been poo free for the most part. - Well lit. That's what made me decide on this apartment, the kitchen has multiple windows and is next to the patio, if you open the blinds, you don't need to turn lights on during the day. The white cupboards and appliances help the apartment to look spacious and clean. There are also many lights that come with the apartment, I only bought a few lamps. The bathroom also has a fan light and a heat lamp. I love the heat lamp during the winter. The vanity and sink area have massive light bulbs that are super bright, you could unscrew some if you'd like it dimmer. I like it to put my make up on. read more

See all

The management team here, Jessica and Brooke, were extremely responsive and helpful with facilitating our short-term rental. There were a lot of moving parts and they were all over it every step of the way. read more

I had the best apartment here! So spacious and airy, great huge balcony, nice private people, and great management!

I hate these people so much, I don't even want my deposit back. DO NOT MOVE INTO BUILDING 4343 In the 3 fucking years I lived there, the elevator worked rarely. I just moved out a few days ago and the elevator wasn't working, hadn't been for over a month!!!!! read more

Good views ok jacuzzi and pool ok location but dam the landlords never give a fuck about you....there messed up they really are professional liars , they give the run around about common issues that need to be handled I have a lot of stories that I don't feel like typing just save your self if you can live your dream don't settle for less read more

Staff is always friendly and helpful! I've been surprised to see work orders get done same day here. We've been here almost two years and definitely enjoy it! Neighborhood is great, view is beautiful as well read more

I put in an on-line request for information on a studio available 11/1. I received a call yesterday from Melinda, the manager. Very pleasant, told me she had a unit for me and we made an appointment for the next day (today) to see it and start the process. Upon my arrival, Betty acted like she had no idea why I was there. Asked me what unit I wanted for what move in date (even though it was right in front of her on the appointment sheet). She told me I should have applied on line if I was interested. Interesting as Melinda said nothing about the need to apply on-line yesterday. I asked why I wasnt notified since the unit I was coming to see is no longer available and she didn't give a clear answer. I have a feeling that Betty didn't like the looks of me (I have tattoo sleeves) and this is why the unit is no longer available. She was unprofessional and rude. read more

Recently, an electronic issue caused a fire panel to randomly and loudly beep until the panel was reset. The sound echoed through my apartment which was next to the panel. I have Autism, sensory issues, and the noise caused me great distress. I contacted Jessica in the rental office who promptly and effectively dealt with this issue, always taking the time to reset the panel right away, often multiple times until it could be fixed (even when she was off). Her prompt and kind response made the situation manageable until it could be fixed. Her professionalism, positive approach, and kindness really make this a great place to live. Many thanks to her and the maintenance team for their help!! read more

I was short term lease thanks GOD only 4month if I was staying little longer then that I probably sick. They never clean common areas and small like smoking hallways, also don't trusts property management. I do not recommend anyone this places. read more

Easy going place to live at. The office staff was very helpful and very patient with me when I wasn't able to pay all of my rent and even helped me get assistance to pay my rent. Very appreciative of that. If you want to live somewhere easy going and peaceful and right in the commute to the middle of La Mesa this is the place for you! read more

Copy and paste as it stays true, edited a few things as its been over a year since I originally posted it. **'s are for major edits: Date posted: 1/2/2013 Years at this apartment: 2012 - 2013 If you can afford the extra couple hundred dollars to live somewhere else, or can afford to live further away from la mesa for the same amount/a little more/a little less, do it! We were enticed to move here because of the cheap price (995$ for a 1 bedroom) in la mesa which is a good price. **Since the original post it went to 1050 and they started charging for utilities, so total: 1100. Keep in mind this isn't all you'll be charged. The gym also got cut in 1/2 and went from being 24 hour to I don't even know, all I know is its closed most of the time I get home from work.** For starters when we moved in we were told all the little issues we came in with would be fixed. They weren't. The air conditioner doesn't work (itll blow a little cold air but it won't even cool down the kitchen where its located), Our fridge was missing one of the shelf guards, it had been ripped off by the previous tenants. Within a month the stopper on our sink came off, and the roll used to hold toilet paper is barely hanging onto the wall. As a bonus our garbage disposal wasn't cleaned out after the previous tenants. We had been told our apartment had been cleaned... **Still all the same issues, except now one of our ceiling fans doesn't work on top of no air conditioner...** We have no water pressure, we did but they turned off the water about a week after we moved in and it was gone, the bathroom sink is like a gently running flow instead of a cascade you need to properly wash your hands, same with our kitchen sink. The showers water pressure is ok, but it'll go from nice and warm to freezing cold in a matter of seconds, and its unfixable sometimes! I've had to stand out of the water till it finishes for minutes at a time! It's better when its freezing cold than scalding hot though, it practically burns you. Also beware, with the exception of the last month or two (from this post) we've had the water turned off at least once a month with very little warning for 3 - 5 hours at a time! **Be prepared to still have your water turned off, 2 times in the last 3 months...** Parking is a nightmare, if you have a job that keeps you out past 7pm, or like to have a night life on occasion you better be ok with parking at the trolley station or on the street. When we moved in we were told there would be parking available (we only have 1 car, and 1 car for two people, we assumed it would be do-able). **They allow you to have as many stickers as you want from what I can tell. There is never -ANY- parking past 9pm because everyone has 2+ cars that almost never move and they have friends over because parking is -NEVER- enforced.** The apartment also has poor insulation, the walls are so thin we can hear when people walk by our door (and they're *not talking*) or when the person at the end of the hall closes their door. Our apartment usually stays about 5 - 10 degrees +/- than outside at all times, and since our heater doesn't work we have to bundle up to stay warm...The windows also aren't done properly, you can see where the glue or whatever they use to install the windows, there are *gaps* where there's just a hole to the outside. We essentially have windows that never close to add to our un-insulated apartment, and since its the very corners of the windows there's nothing we can do about it. You better not be afraid of bugs if you move in. Within the first week we saw our first roach on the wall (keep in mind our apartment is unfurnished, we have no food in here yet) which means it was already there when we moved in or it came from outside either from the gaps in the window or through the broken screen door to the balcony that someone walked into and they never replaced when we moved in. Since then every time we leave the balcony door open (but the screen door closed to keep the bugs out, same goes with windows, we open them up but the screens are coming off too) bugs get in. Some of them look like crosses between roaches and centipedes! If you have packages I wouldn't have them mailed to your apartment, or have a signature required since packages are liable to go missing if there just dropped at your doorstep. I'd also be careful at night, since the apartments are right by the trolley station, a lot of questionable people are around the complexes when they get off. Because of the poor insulation you can hear everything, the trolley, every hour on the hour, police sirens, fire trucks, cars. The blinds are also very cheap, as soon as the sun comes up you better be a sound sleeper or your up with it, regardless if its only 5am. *****This apartment complex used to go by Spring Hill Apartments, you can find more reviews there on apartmentratings.*** read more

spring hill apartments have a great view of the mountains and pretty city of la mesa............. jacuzzi and pool are very nice plus the gym!.....the apartments are very clean and super well maintained!.......the ladys that work at the office are very super nice and always very attentive in my experience the staff has been awsome especially (betty) who is great!!! c.camarena read more

By far the worst place to live, they don't have enough parking spots for tenants so you end up parking on the street, you hear trolley and street noise all night, security" and management is not helpful, dogs are constantly barking and there's dog poop everywhere with flies . Save your money don't rent here. I wish I would have read the yelp reviews before signing my lease also they have issues with roaches in the building there a constantly drug deals going on in the parking lot cars get broken into read more

I enjoyed living at these apartments. The staff was professional. The apartment was clean when I rented. Repairs were done next day. I had very nice neighbors. The apartments are located near the Spring Street Trolley Station for easy transportation. We also had easy access to I-94 and I-125. I am relocating for work. Thanks, ladies, for all you have done for me and my family. read more

DO NOT RENT from these people! I rented at the Spring Hill Apartments from August 2013 till the end of July 2014. They placed me in a room which is close by to the trolley station, so I had some issues in terms of sleeping. The deposit was $500, my monthly rent was $885, and I had to pay about another $100 for electricity and internet. When I moved into my studio apartment, I had to endure almost a full week of fleas. I asked the land lord to call an exterminator after 3 days of living in my apartment, but she couldn't get one to come for about another 2-3 days. For the 1st 3 months, I paid my standard rent of $885 and for electricity and internet. After those 3 months, they started to add additional fees for my rent, which was about another $40. When I finally moved out of my apartment, I cleaned the apartment and made it look just like the way it looked when I moved in, even better. When I got my landlord to check out the room, she said that they take $58 for an annual carpet clean. Even though the windows were clean, they would charge another $98 if I didn't clean them again. When I received the deposit, they withdrew about $105 from the deposit, which included $46 for NWP fee? I don't know what the hell that is? Just be aware of these people. It's too good to be true. read more
