This place is straight up ass. Moved in and the room was still dirty, walls cracking, mold all over the bathroom. No temp control in the rooms, either blast ac and freeze or blast heat and boil. Graffiti on my ceiling that they used a single layer of white paint to cover (obviously still visible). Microwave and fridge were beyond disgusting. Security? None existent. According to the lease you sign they have security cameras and parking lot patrol, they have neither. They are more than happy to tow your car at 2 am though. Parents reading this for your upcoming freshman DO NOT PUT YOUR CHILDREN HERE. You will find safer and cleaner and CHEAPER living elsewhere. I would blame the staff but after looking and years of terrible reviews its safe to say the owner just doesn't give a single fuck and will continue to juice every oblivious person that signs a lease here.

I think the photos speak for itself. When we first went to tour this area we were shown a mock apartment attached to their leasing office. We walked out of there, super excited, but unfortunately, we were scammed to the max. The apartments aren't even attached to the main area you have to walk across and they are completely outdated. all they did was slap some white paint, which by the way was very badly done, walking through the apartment. The pool was unkept. THERE IS MOLD ON THE STAIRS! if you are OK with living like a rat for the price by all means do it, but if you have a little extra money to spare definitely look elsewhere.

The social Chico deserves no stars I've lived here for 6 months and when I first moved here I was told that I was forced to get a meal plan which I was never given a meal card for or even briefed on how the meal plan even worked but I did pay 300 dollars a month for it.(granted I never asked but when I'm paying 300 for a meal plan I best be filled in on it) also I filled out a questionnaire for my roommate and they asked me about how much I smoked/drank/noise level, etc. and the same that I would prefer in a roommate however the social does not allow alcohol or smoking of any kind on the premises and I was even told I couldn't light a candle...... I'm a 18 grown adult and the Chico social treats their tentats like children. The parking pass is 60 dollars which you pretty much have to get because street parking is taken up by the 3 other housing complexes on the street. And not to mention how rediculously priced it is I pay 1040 a month for a bedroom and a shared bathroom and I can hear the Train every night, the ac barley works, when I first got the room it was thilthy, there's no kitchen to use, the fridge is tiny and the microwave sucks. Soooo pleeeaassseee chose anyother place you'll thank me. But it is really close to CSU and you shouldn't feel any kind of intimidation from the owner jon. Sweet lil guy really. I also would just like to update this and say that after I was told to leave because my girlfriend occasionally had her cat over I am currently expected to pay a 2500 dollar "early lease termination" in addition To being kicked out. Rest assured I will paying no money :).

This is the most unusual review I have written, and I am not likely to write one like this again…read more we wished to live there, and spoke with them about our application before we tendered it. We entered into negotiation with them, and although they extended themselves considerably, in the end we were not able to meet their very reasonable standards. The problem was entirely our own. We were attempting to rent an apartment just a little too dear for our current budget. This is the thing, I was a bookkeeper. I understand there are certain things that in a professionally run business can't be done. They offered to extend what courtesy was possible, bending their industry standard rules for minimum income requirements, but it was not enough. They were extremely kind in their let down; but more importantly, understanding we are on a very tight budget, they allowed us this conversation before we applied. So we knew not to apply and waste our money on a process that was bound to fail. We thank them most sincerely for working with us as much as they possibly could, and hope to return one day when we may actually afford their facilities.

I both lived at and worked for this apartment complex years back and it was a great experience.

The complex is very quiet as well. This was by far my favorite place to live in all of my years of renting.

I used to live in Yosemite terrace apartments. And I miss it so much. My mother still lives there…read more She has been there a number of years and really enjoys it. It is clean and comfortable, very little drama, if any at all. My mother is older and I'm comfortable in that neighbors, and the manager, Sandy, are kind and helpful to her. Sandy, the manager is the sweetest lady ever. She is also straight forward when there are issues to be dealt with. She does a great job of keeping the place up, she helps to make the place friendly and neighborly, including monthly news letters of activities, recipes, jokes and other goodies. ( sometimes candy treats). Yum. Apartments are spacious, nice appliances, good heating and air conditioning, plenty of storage. Landscaping is nice and kept up really good. There is a "club house" that is great for hanging out or small get togethers. It has a kitchen, fireplace, nice furniture, tv, computer and wifi. It adjacent to the pool which is also very well maintained. Included is a cute little playground for the kiddos. They also accept pets and actually like them. I miss living there because basically I felt safe, it was fun and people were friendly. The manager is kind and funny and a really nice person. And if I move back to Chico, Yosemite terrace apartments is where I would hope to move back to.

Great so far! My…read moreunit was sparkling clean at move-in, and the complex is very well-kept and quiet, apart from a little highway noise in the units closest to Highway 32. The on site management is pleasant and seems genuinely interested in the tenants' happiness. The construction seems quite recent, as if this was about the last of Chico's growth before new housing development took a break. Located right on the edge of Chico, it's lovely at night. You can easily see the stars to the south and the east, away from all the city lights. The floor plans are spacious, including an abundance of kitchen space and storage. The bathrooms are larger than many San Francisco bedrooms. There's a full-sized washer and dryer in each unit, which beats small capacity combined units or having to use shared facilities. Being quiet, and well-maintained, this definitely isn't a party spot for the CSUC students. I expect some faculty and serious students live here, however. The manager was very upfront about expectations for maintaining a nice atmosphere and talked about her willingness to quickly intercede if there are noise or other problems. I'll definitely take that over passive management; some other places would let a place slowly go to pieces if residents aren't actively complaining. The parking situation is good. There is one reserved, covered spot for each unit, and there's an additional pool of common parking for visitors or second cars. I can see one of the lots from my bathroom window, and I've rarely seen it near full except once when pieces of the lot were closed for repaving. The heat is gas, which is a good money saver over some other area apartments. Electric rates are high in PG&E areas, so gas saves $$$. For geeks: Comcast has DOCSIS 3.0 here, so you can sign up for 250+ megabit internet if you're feeling spendy. AT&T is usually 4 or 5 bars. Verizon and Sprint are usually full bars out here. T-Mobile often falls back to 3G. There's plenty of good food available for delivery in the area, but most guys have trouble finding this apartment complex the first time. Plan an extra wait for the taxi, if you use that. I'm a big city transplant and I'm accustomed to not having a car, but that seems almost unheard of around here. Plan to need an auto or a good bicycle. Update after about 6 years: Rent increases have been very reasonable, perhaps reflecting that other new rental construction has begun in the city. There have been few things that needed fixing, but the maintenance staff attended to it the very same day. I've yet to have a negative experience with a neighbor or any of the staff. I got a couple cats from the shelter and didn't get any grief about adding pets to my lease, and they even put up a "We've got warm hearts for cold noses" sign out front to express that pets are welcome. Tip: I usually notice a sign out front advertising some rental special or other, so be sure to ask about any current offers instead of taking whatever's listed online.

If I call with a question or maintenance need, I almost never get a call back. If someone enters my apartment to fix something, they no longer leave you a note letting you know someone has been there to fix the problem, so I am left wondering if the problem has been resolved. Rent has been increased each year since living here. The first increase wasn't terrible. This year it's going up $100. That's too much. Especially in these times where people are still trying to find places to house them. I feel I should also mention the shootings that have happened on and behind the property. One resulting in a bullet ricocheting off a neighbors car and going down our hallway. One time where a person was actually shot behind our fence! Overall I love the neighbors and events they put on, but with the safety concerns and rent increases, this isn't the place for my family.

I'm extremely close to grocery shopping, restaurants and have easy access to the freeway. The management here has even arranged special days where you can get your nails done or get a massage onsite. That was a fun surprise. The apartments themselves are well designed. We have high ceilings with ceiling fans, spacious bedrooms, walk-in closets and a spacious kitchen and living area.

I contacted Country Lane Apartments several times, inquiring about their apartments. When I first…read morecontacted them, the price of the apartments were $1150. I was placed on a waiting list. The list never changed in the two years I contacted them. Then when I contacted them a few months later, the price of the apartments were $1250, still a good price for what you got. Then, when I contacted them a few months later, the prices had shot up to $1385. As you can see from the photos, they raised their prices to $1385 while there was a massive homeless encampment adjacent to the property. I asked the property manager if they had made any improvements to the properties to raise the price so much. The property manager said the apartments had not been updated or improved. My conclusion is that they simply raised the prices because other luxury apartments have been built in Chico. They also gave me a rather rude response. If this wasn't bad enough, Country Lane Apartments complained to Yelp about my review not containing enough details about my interaction with the property and had my Yelp review taken down. That is a violation of my free speech. Country Lane Apartments is corrupt from top to bottom.
