First of all since our very first contact with Alyssa in the office, when we were looking for an apartment, the staff has absolutely amazed us. So helpful prompt and nice, never failed to get back to us quickly with answers and she was one of the reasons we chose to move in. Since then we have met Kiki and have been equally impressed with her (our dog loves her too) as she never fails to be kind, understanding and helpful. I have never lived somewhere with such great staff. And if that wasn't enough the maintenance team is the most prompt and couteous folks EVER Sometime responding to requests in a matter of minutes, seriously. What can I say, the apartments themselves are well maintained even though they could use some updating here and there but the wonderful neigborhood and the absolutely stellar people more than makes up for it. I am really going to miss this place when we leave.

I've lived at Forest Hills Apartments on two separate occasions, and after my second experience, I…read morewouldn't consider returning. Of the five stars available, one is for Cameron at the front desk and the other for Kiki, the Assistant Manager. Both were helpful, professional, and genuinely pleasant to work with. My experience with management wasn't nearly as positive. I broke my renewed lease and understood I'd have to pay a fee. I gave two weeks' notice rather than 30 days' because my new apartment could only be held for two weeks. I asked Forest Hills to work with me on the lease-break fee. They refused and they were contractually entitled to do so, but there's a difference between enforcing a contract and being willing to work with a resident when circumstances change. My old unit then sat vacant for two weeks. I was also charged nearly $100 for outdoor/common-area utilities through 15 August despite moving out at the end of July. Altogether, leaving cost me over $3,500. Apart from the above, Forest Hills apartments are significantly overpriced for what they offer. Appliances, cabinetry, fixtures, and finishes are outdated. Carpets are worn, and bathroom grout shows cracks and stains. Buildings are ridiculously close together, parking spaces are so narrow you can't open your car door all the way, residents smoke on their balconies despite property rules, and dog waste is noticeable across the property. I met one of my neighbors when he was washing his truck by asking him to hose dog poop off my shoe. Transients dumpster-diving is common regardless of the time of day. Noise is an enormous issue. If you're considering a first- or second-floor apartment and value audible privacy, you're in for some unpleasant surprises. I could hear my upstairs neighbor use his toilet. Not just flush it - use it. For the amount of money you'll spend to live at Forest Hills - and to leave if you break your lease - it is absolutely not worth it.

Last year, I lived at one of The Hive's current properties - MW2…read more I had initially signed my lease with MW2 under a different company (that ended up getting taken over by The Hive about a month after moving in). In short, I had an absolutely wonderful experience with The Hive! Traci (the manager) is fantastic - anytime I or my roommate had any concerns with our apartment, she immediately answered and assisted us. If for some reason she was not immediately available, she always got back to me via phone or email within the hour. Traci was always quick to deploy The Hive's maintenance man (who is a really kind, hardworking guy!) to fix any issue at no cost. In short, I had a very positive experience with The Hive - and would happily live in any of their properties in the future!

We provided a copy of our Renters Insurance the day we picked up the keys to the apartment. They…read morethanked us but apparently still notified a vendor they use to "force place" their own Renter's insurance. We have been fighting to get 1.5 months worth refunded because their vendor says they will only refund since the time WE notified them and uploaded to prove we had our own insurance. It is not a large sum of money (less than $25) but it was their error and PTLA - Westwood apartments is refusing to refund the money. Bureaucratic red tape... maybe even fraud. At this point they have spent more money responding "no" to us than they would have if they simply corrected THEIR mistake.

Its quiet, the apartments are spacious, management is picky, and as a result there is a huge waiting list that goes past a year. I know they have requirements for income, age, and certain statuses that usually keep flaky students from being able to apply. A few friends of mine live here now, most of them say that the management is good and the place is overly quiet. Having visited them here a few times, I have to say that they've got their act together and parking is never an issue. Security is fabulous and they do a good job of holding down the fort during football games. Most of all, the apartments are good, spacious, and clean. I would have loved to live here but getting into here is almost as good as winning the local lottery. Cheaper rent doesn't always account for easy access.

In the course of a two year rental period, they raised our rent twice. They sent us a letter telling us to quit feeding the cats outdoors--which we had never done-- and cited us for parking backwards--which we did do. It's safer! We tried to be perfect tenants and were rewarded by receiving an eviction notice because my bank screwed up the bill pay over Christmas/New Years (I can prove this). An advisory phone call would have been nice, rather than waiting until they could slap on the $100 late fee. That's when I decided to move! The unit I rented was in Eugene near Autzen Stadium, and in that two-year period, we experienced shootings across the street, a stabbing in the next apartment building, a bum sleeping under the outside stairs, an attempted car break-in and someone trying to get in through the bedroom window. The empty apartment upstairs flooded, which filled the light fixtures and ran down the walls. A broken window opening mechanism was never repaired. The icing on the cake was when we moved out, I inadvertently left two bags with recyclable cans and a small shelf sitting beside the door. A phone call would have been nice, but instead the management wrote me a letter, giving them many days to reap the "abandoned goods" clause ($50) and $30/day storage fee for eight days, which they deducted from my deposit. Where's the humanity? I will say that the maintenance staff was extremely responsive and helpful. The office staff is pleasant and well-meaning, but they are marching to the beat of the greedy corporate office of Norris & Stevens. My recommendation is to rent from them only if you have no other choice!

They do have a locked trash area which has helped me feel more safe. They also installed new windows next summer which help because the last ones were drafty. My electric bill in the summer can be around $90 for heat which is a bummer. I feel it is a fair price though I know there are apartments at a lower price and fairly similar amenities. Also I like walking around the apartments as they have apple trees and a blackberry bush in the back. I love the location, as it's close to bike paths and I can walk to Albertson's. I drive 10-15 minutes for most things. The property managers, Ben and Jessica, are very helpful. The head maintenance man is Nathan still and he is so awesome and helpful and just fun to talk to. Also they have an online setup for rent payment and announcements which is convenient. Overall it is a good place to live.

Parking is one of the downsides, but they have added more parking spots, and they do allow 2 cars per apartment without paying extra. There is no covered parking, however. Good things: Rent is reasonable, especially considering internet and cable is included. That was one of the things that really sold us. That and the laundry in every unit! They layout is nice and open, and it's nice being on the edge of town without being out of town. New appliances, etc has also been a nice bonus! The sound level is about average. It's new construction, so better than old apartments, but definitely not sound proof. You can put holes in the wall! And have pets! 2 other selling points for us. And the pet limit is more than 25lbs, so you can actually have a normal sized dog, if you want. The people are mostly families, some students, but not a loud crowd. I don't love the repairs process. Other places I have lived have been MUCH more streamlined. So far we have been happy! The apartments themselves were more of a selling point than the management, but we haven't had BAD experiences with the management either.

I lived here for about two years and while it wasn't a terrible experience, it wasn't a great one…read moreeither. Over the two years I was there my rent increased about $500, to the point where moving into a house was cheaper than living here. They said at one point that we would have to start paying for water, but it never actually got implemented during my time there. I paid for internet (CenturyLink, but Xfinity was also available if you truly hate life) and electric on my own and water was a $55/mo flat fee. The gym was available at all hours but I never actually went to it so I can't comment on it. The people in the office were always nice. Jesse was the leasing manager until he left a year or so ago. He was always very nice and quick to answer questions. Morgan and Evie were there when I left and they were both very nice as well. The maintenance folks were nice and usually pretty quick to respond to requests. There were fun events run throughout the year that encouraged community bonding but I never participated because I have pretty bad social anxiety. The apartment itself is where my issues lie. I was on the top floor, which meant it got really hot over the summer. The air conditioning unit in the kitchen didn't do much on those hot days, especially in the bedroom which is on the opposite side of the apartment, directly down the hall from the kitchen. The walls are very thin, and for the first time I experienced hearing my downstairs neighbors walking around. It was so bad that I could hear what room they were in just from their footsteps. The slamming of the front doors in the building was also very loud and continued even after management sent an email saying to not do that. It seemed like every single sound made in the building could be heard in my unit. You get one assigned uncovered parking spot assigned to you and there is some guest parking, but it fills up quickly after 5pm. There was a guy who always parked in the guest parking area who would remote start his red Dodge Charger every morning around 6:30am and let it sit running its loud engine for about half an hour before he got in and revved away. Several other loud or unmuffled cars in the area did the same. At one point I had neighbors in the building next door who would fight with their windows open and I could hear their screaming with my windows and doors closed. I really never knew peace in this place. When I moved out, the process was easy enough. Sign the lease termination and move out. Did not need to hire carpet cleaners despite what the lease said, which was great because I've seen every single apartment get brand new carpet between residents and I wasn't about to pay to clean carpet that would just be trashed anyway. I didn't get my security deposit back for over a month and had to call multiple times to check on the status of it, but I did get the full amount returned which was good. Overall this was a fine apartment to live in, especially considering it was my first time ever living on my own. I had lived in an apartment with a friend before so I wasn't unfamiliar with what it was like, but this did teach me that I don't want to live in an apartment again if I can avoid it.
