I moved into these apartments in 1995 or 1996 and feel ashamed that I have not thought to write a review before. The current manager and his wife are the best I have ever seen. This place was party central under previous managers and grounds keeping and repairs was sporadic. Today, I'm not afraid to empty my trash after dark...the laundry room is spotless when I enter it in the morning or afternoon. I know if I have a problem, repair or other wise, Help is only a few steps or a call away. The grounds are a beauty of landscaping the the Lushes, (managers) have planned and brought along for many years. The playground area for children is kept safe and clean as are the rest of the grounds. We have seasons of ferocious winds here in Trona that leaves messes that is cleaned up as soon as the air stops moving...even tho it will be need to be done the next day. I do believe I live in the nicest place in Trona, CA with the best people that cares for it. read more

I have lived here for over nine years. it's in Section 515 of USDA Rural Development. the apartments are very nice but the management is absurd. there are resident managers who are not supervised hardly at all and only seem to care about staying out of trouble with their employer. the place is managed and owned by a huge corporation that only deals with government-subsidized housing. Section 515 seems to be a status regime in which the tenants are presumed to be helpless idiots who don't deserve anything. the management company seems to think the program was made for them, to suck money out of the federal government. I have had direct dealings with the Rural Development bureaucrats- they don't seem to care much about anything except job security, which is not much of a problem for them. it's a decent place to live but the administration has an atmosphere of total unreality. read more
