I have lived here for over 5+ years and in the last 2 I have noticed the decline in property management and “resort style” living. Maintenance can take between 1 hour to 3 days for something simple to be taken care of, complaints / issues of concern being brought up to the office don’t get taken serious nor given proper follow up, the front never answers their phones. Parking fees have been applied but we don’t get assigned parking, and not all parking spots are shaded. Since the property has... been switched to a new company, it has slowly been going downhill and I don’t recommend anyone moving in, I’ve seen newer residents leave within 6 months to a year. We have more people coming through digging in the dumpsters at all times in the night / morning, residents that harass other residents in small spaces like the laundry rooms and violently close the washer and dryer doors thus making them unusable and limiting the amount available in an already small room, and residents that do not pick up after themselves especially around the pool areas, and that don’t pick up after their pets. There has been an increase in dog waste all over the grassy areas, bags are provided and waste bins yet most newer residents do not utilize. Read More

I have been living at Chaparral for six years. Here are the pros and cons. Pros: - Maintenance is prompt & courteous. Cons: - Crime: The facility is in a bad area of Palmdale. Check the crime map on NewsBreak. - Neighbors have had tires stolen from cars. - Packages are regularly stolen from front porches. - Aggressive homeless people around the garbage bins. - Expect a max rent increase of 5% + inflation every year. Budget accordingly.

I love the calm and peaceful setting the grounds are outside.
I been here for a month and the people here are very friendly. I love that they have a heated pool in the back but its closed because of Covid. Family and everyone is welcomed. I just wish that they would heat the pool in front. Laundry facilities on hand a plus. It takes quarters or a credit card or debt. God bless everyone here. Elaine

The laundry drier hasn’t worked in two months the manager states no one told her , that’s a complacent response. The lawn and pool looks nice That’s what will catch you . I was warned before I came, I ignored and I have to go through this. Very Poor experience.

I lived here for a couple of years until the regular increases of $60 a month for a new lease became $135 a month. The $60 a month felt unreasonable but I was tired of moving so I paid them for a couple of years. Then, the $135 a month increase hit and I asked the desk girl if there was a deal available because the rent increases were eating up my pay raises. She just smiled. Then, I asked if the increases have anything to do with me not being in a hurry to leave and her smile widened. So that... was it. I left. It helped that I had a guy break into my car overnight despite security patrols around the complex.

Be forewarned the rent increases are on top of paying for the water and trash and being required to take out rental insurance which covers the building in addition to your personal belongings. Plus, if you have pets the deposit is like $500 on top of pet rent which runs per dog. So if you’re like me and have two dogs that rent adds up quickly. I was paying an extra $100 a month.

Really, the place is a rip off. Read More
