more fucked up paint job
Julia D.

DO NOT LEASE FROM HERE!! lived at the lark for 2 years. the first year, i lived in the 3x3 apartments. the second year, i lived in the 4x2 townhouse unit. FIRST OF ALL, these units are NOT worth the money. 1,000 a month for a tiny bedroom in a cheaply made unit is absurd. with everyone's rent put together, my unit would be $4000 a month. it may seem like a good deal paying 900-1,000 for rent, but remember that you are SHARING a unit and are paying premium per person. Second of all, management are money hungry and indifferent to issues going on around the complex. I received a bill of $215 for "cleaning/repair fees" which is insane because i did not cause any damages in my unit. IN FACT WHEN I MOVED INTO MY UNIT, IT WAS FILTHY!!! So wait a second, you can charge residents hundreds of dollars for cleaning and repairs but don't even clean the units? Attached are photos of my unit upon move in. Definitely does not look clean and i'm sure the people before me were charged cleaning fees too. Additionally, the complex is not safe. The gate has been stuck open for 3 months so anyone can just drive/walk in during the middle of the night. There's always neighbors partying, loud music, and zero courtesy for other residents. this is against community policy, yet the lark does nothing to enforce it. They don't give a damn about resident's well-being. They put so much energy into doing community events and giveaways but can't even put any energy into actually maintaining the complex itself. As a closer at my job, i see roaches EVERYWHERE as i walk to my unit at night. I think this is mainly caused by their new valet trash service, which is the stupidest thing they could have done. The limit is two trash bags per day, but many nasty people living here just pile tons of trash directly in the bin that doesn't get taken out, and attracts pests. Or worse, some residents (or non residents) HAVE DUMPED THEIR TRASH INTO MY UNIT'S PERSONAL TRASH BOX!! there are just so many people who live here that don't know how to be clean, pick after themselves, and be a good neighbor. Also, the complex itself is so cheap. the furniture is cheap, the paint is thin, cabinets break easily. Be very careful because if you break anything, they will charge you fees for breaking it, AND THEN NOT EVEN FIX IT FOR THE NEXT PEOPLE MOVING IN! even though the furnishings they installed are super cheap and snap like toothpicks. so make sure to take pictures of damages you see when you move in so they don't charge you for it. oh and don't even get me started with roommates. GOOD LUCK IF YOU SIGNED UP FOR RANDOM ROOMMATES! it's like Russian roulette. if you get stuck with loud, disrespectful roommates, and you complain about it, they just send a nose complainant letter that will just be thrown away by those said roommates. and then they charge a $200 fee to move to a different unit. it's a nightmare if you get stuck with the wrong roommates so may the odds be ever in your favor!! Do not be fooled by their fictional "community" they advertise on their instagram and website. It's an overpriced shit hole where half the residents aren't even students, and do not promote a quiet and peaceful study environment. The lark is nothing like how they advertise it. If you're thinking about leasing with them, RUN!

So I am very disgusted and fed up because I keep finding little bugs in this apartment! I first noticed one under my pillow case on my pillow as I was washing my sheets for a month. I couldn't believe that there had been a bug i've been sleeping on for god knows how long! Also, I just recently found one on the wall and then again on my bed after cleaning my sheets for the second time! I am unable to sleep at night thinking about these bugs infesting my place of sleep. They seem harmless, but still disgusting nonetheless. Lark Sacramento admitted to reusing their beds and mattresses. The apartments reuse the bed frames and tell the residents to simply clean the mattresses. Who knows what other person has been sleeping on these beds and what they brought along with them! This is completely disgusting, unsanitary, and neglectful on the apartments behalf! Beware! If you want to live here, you might find bugs like these wandering in your room too!

Posting residents (me) on social media to become more of a community and show off their residents.

How is it living so close to the train tracks? My son is looking at a place near building 14.

It's very loud but doesn't really bother me

I want to live with a roommate here, will they pair me up with someone?

Probably not it 50 chance they might but same time no it depends

Hi there, I'm actually a parent. We're not from Sac area so if someone can recommend a decent place for my son and his GF to rent, that would be great? They can do shared housing too?

DONT RENT FROM THE SCION GROUP HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE... FIND A HOUSE OR AN ACTUAL APARTMENT NOT RELATED TO THE SCHOOL

I moved in back in 2021 (under different management) and absolutely LOVED my apartment. The…read morelocation was safe, convenient, and maintenance staff has always been extremely kind and helpful. They even helped me with my flat tire before! I love the upkeep that Chris R. has invested in the property, gym, and overall community. I only recently moved out in March 2026, much to my dismay! I had a wonderful experience despite the rent going up from 1470 to 1900. I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Rivercrest when I was renting. The office staff is a different story unfortunately. Julia, over the past couple of years, has consistently been condescending, rude, and argumentative. I've seen a multitude of complaints on yelp, google, etc about her specifically- which is a shame considering so many other staff members are nothing short of exceptional. I had two different roommates over the past five years and we have dealt with lost paperwork, lack of communication, and lack of professionalism. Upon moving out, we are being charged for cleaning services ($400+) and additional fees meaning we are left with a bill rather than getting any part of our initial deposit back. We initially paid $1k but somehow now our security deposit was "only $350." This may have been due to old management losing paperwork or lack of communication but it's a shame after having such a great experience over the years. It has certainly left a bad taste in my mouth. I would have happily moved back in at another time before, but now my decision has changed and I do not see me living there again under current management. I hope to see Rivercrest improve in the near future!

One of the worst apartment experiences I've ever had. I…read morerented an apartment in Rivercrest Apartments for one year, and it was a terrible experience from start to finish. There was a constant roach infestation. I had to spray and treat my unit three times a week on my own, and even though I submitted multiple maintenance requests, management completely ignored most of them. Occasionally, someone would come and spray some cheap liquid that only worked for a few days, and then the roaches came back again. There were also serious issues with parking and homeless people constantly hanging around the property -- sleeping near the stairs, along the fence, and even living in their cars near the building. The smell and unsanitary conditions were unbearable. Many residents, including myself, repeatedly complained to management, but they just kept making empty promises and never did anything to fix the problem. When I moved out, they stole half of my security deposit, claiming it was for "painting" and other nonsense, even though I left the apartment in the exact same condition as when I moved in. The unit itself was already in poor condition when I first rented it -- old, dirty, and falling apart -- and the management simply didn't care. Now, even a year later, my friends who still live there tell me that the situation has gotten even worse. The complex has practically turned into a shelter for homeless people and addicts, and residents can't wait for their leases to end so they can move out. The property manager, Julia Gonzalez, is extremely unprofessional, rude, and unreliable. She often speaks to residents with disrespect and fails to follow through on promises or address problems. Her behavior shows a complete lack of accountability and honesty, and many tenants have had negative experiences dealing with her. I strongly warn everyone: stay far away from Rivercrest Apartments and the management company behind it. They are dishonest, irresponsible, and exploit their tenants. To anyone who was also cheated out of their deposit or suffered from similar problems -- don't stay silent. File a legal claim and make them take responsibility for their actions. Companies like this should be investigated and shut down for the way they treat people. And of course, I'm sure their manager will now reply to this review with some generic, copy-pasted message that doesn't reflect the truth at all. Unfortunately, Yelp doesn't allow tenants to respond back -- otherwise, I would.

I love where I live, it's nice and quiet and I love the stores and food places behind me. Comparing its location to the college, it has a super good location, not too far and with a lot of nice places around it. It feels nice and they always have a lot of great opportunities to get free stuff here. My only complaint is the homeless population in the area, it's really annoying and I don't always feel safe. That and the lack of parking for a lot of people, even in the surrounding area. When you can find somewhere to park, youre at risk of your window busted out. Until I get a car though, this isn't a huge concern to me, though I wish everyone well. All in all, it's wonderful living here and I'm glad i've had a great experience being here. Go wexler!!

The outdoor area in the gated property is nice as well with grills, designated pet areas, outdoor seating, a fireplace, great landscaping, and more. I like how they decorate for the holidays. They definitely earn the name "luxury apartments". I have loved the events that they've had so far. I'm new to the Sac area and living at the Wexler has made me feel welcome. They did a great job with roommate matching, we got along instantly. Overall, I think the Wexler is the best off campus housing for Sac State students from what I've seen so far.

I attend the music department concerts frequently. For a nominal ticket price (or often for free)…read morethe music quality is excellent. The auditorium seats about 150 so the venue is small enough that every seat is a good one. The CSUSac music department teaches many genres of music. Do you like jazz, they got you covered. Do you like symphonic music, yeah they got that, too. Chorale? Come listen to the golden voices. Parking lot is across the mini-road. From your parked car to the auditorium is about 30 steps. Coming here for music is a treat. It's also easy, no ridiculous crowds, no unruly patrons, no hassles. A corner of peace in a world full of tumult. Dress casually. Relax and enjoy.

Specifically, I was at the Student Union, not sure if it's called that anymore technically. No matter, I was pretty impressed. It's really nicely updated, doesn't feel like a dim and old place like it used to. There are lots of open spaces and nice lounging chairs and tables all over each floor especially second and third, and many meeting rooms and hang out areas. My kids enjoyed wandering around a bit and just getting introduced to what a college campus looks like. There are also many offices of different student services like I saw a student activities office, a women's center, a computer lab, etc. There is even a footwashing room for students with that need for religious reasons. All in all, I was quite pleasantly surprised by how nice the union looks now. It's been expanded and completely remodeled and updated all over. We will have to visit again.

This was the home for my wife and I for two years. It was our first home and one we are thankful to…read morehave had while we did. I have pros and cons for it Cons: - Parking: This was always a challenge while living here. We were provided with one parking space and two parking passes with the understanding that some parking is first-come-first-serve. This made it very difficult for my wife and I to get spots as we both sometimes worked nights and would have to park about a block away. Additionally when we first moved in we received notice that, to no fault of ours we were given identical parking passes and that one of our cars would be towed if we did not amend this. That did not sit right, the implication that I would be towed at my expense for something I did not do. - Security: While there was a nightly security patrol, it's really a golf cart with lights on. This was not much considering there were several vehicle break-ins during our time here, one happened to my wife's car. In this area I would say you get what you pay for. I was grateful to have some type of security but at times it didn't feel like we had any. - Packages: Don't get packages delivered to your front door. They will be stolen. I had a package taken literally 2 minutes after it was delivered. Instead they recently installed courier boxes, or have them tossed over your fence. - No Dishwasher: Having no dishwasher made for a less comfortable way of cooking and cleaning, nevertheless if you're willing to hand-wash your dishes this shouldn't be an issue. Pros: - Cost: The actual cost of rent is more than reasonable. This was a huge blessing for my wife and I for the two years we lived here as it allowed us to save money and begin building a financially stable life for ourselves. My wife and I paid just over $700 a month for a two bedroom apartment. - Size and storage: While the space can feel cramped at times, when we moved out we were shocked at how much stuff we were able to reasonably store in our apartment. We had to be creative at some points but again our reason for living here was mainly financial, so making do was never a huge issue. - Location: the apartments proximity to sac state was wonderful while my wife was a student there. She often walked to school. We also made use of the trails along the American River which was very pleasant. Overall if you're looking for a decent place to call home while you're in school and are comfortable without certain amenities such as a dishwasher or in-unit laundry, then this is the perfect place for you. If you can afford what you want then don't go here. If you're looking for cheaper rent and a livable space, this place has it all!

They didn't do anything when my car got broken into and had to change my locks and keys on my vehicle and paid to get a car alarm. But security was there when i parked in a free spot (green) and put a convertible cover (covers the windows of the vehicle) for 1 night (leaks water) and got me a warning... I've witnessed several cars parked over 72 hrs and felt harassed. Pretty nice apartment for the price and nice neighbors but just watch out for your cars cause security isn't responsible other than you parking in the wrong spot and calling a tow truck. Awesome please to live nearby campus and for low income students.
