Thank you everyone who has reviewed this site. I was going to go visit as a potential tenant but after reading all of the reviews, I’m glad you have spared me and I have canceled my showing.

This place is falling apart. I’ve lived at The Parker for a while and thought things would change when Angelique became manager, but it’s just as bad maybe worse. She even moved her mom into the 3rd building for a while. Her mom had a dog barking nonstop, smoked on the balcony, and was hanging out in the pool restroom smoking pot with her boyfriend. Now she’s back living with the Angelique, still hanging around, and no one does a thing. In the first building, a lady in apt 4 had papers all over her door saying management was stealing from her kitchen and accusing them of all kinds of crazy things. In the gym building, an older man said his medication was being stolen. Instead of handling things, management pushed the blame onto the cleaning lady and Armando the maintenance worker and then got rid of them and has them part time. Now the property is in really bad conditions because of this it smells horrible it looks horrible. And don’t get me started with the washers they rave about having washers on site they literally never work they either need a whole new sets or need to change companies. Any time you complain about the washers they say sorry it’s not ours we are working with a company and blah blah. It’s been like this for so long many have complained and got letters on there doors basically saying to stop complaining because manger also lives here and she understands the issue, if she understood the issue she would’ve fixed it. The buildings are full of drama. Police are in and out of the 3rd building, people smoking weed outside all the time, and the manager doesn’t care probably because her own mom does the same thing. Trash areas are disgusting, dog poop everywhere, and the whole place smells like dog urine. For $2,000 a month for a one-bedroom, you’re basically paying to live in a dump. The office is almost always closed during office hours. The only time you see them care is when the owners are coming by then they scramble to make it look good. This place is not worth the money, the stress, or the smell. Maybe when they get Angelique out as manger and get a professional manger that takes their job serious and cares about these apartments this place will eventually be worth it. Good luck to living in a dump!!! Edit : I don’t need to prove I live here for my words to be true anyone who actually walks the property or talks to other residents can see exactly what I’m talking about. This isn’t “targeted” and it isn’t “speculation.” Multiple people here have noticed the same issues, and there are plenty of photos floating around that back it up. The problems here are real trash piling up, pet waste left around, broken laundry machines, and maintenance that takes too long. Just because you say it’s tenants’ responsibility doesn’t change the fact that many don’t follow the rules or clean up after their pets. If this is meant to be a dog-friendly community, management should take responsibility and address it instead of ignoring it. And let’s be honest residents have also noticed personal situations that add to the issues. Your mother lived in the third building ( or they didn’t live there since you are insinuating im lying). That isn’t speculation, people saw it. Now she’s back at your apartment and still wandering into the third building restroom doing who knows what. These things aren’t made up. Multiple residents have seen them, and there are plenty of pictures to prove it. Ignoring or dismissing what people witness every day won’t make the problems disappear!

Update 2026: They sold the complex, but things have continued to get worse. They wanted to make changes to our parking and take away our parkings which are included in our lease. They also have people without working refrigerators for months. To top it all off they increased our utilities by 200 dollara without notice!!! Beware of this place and their additional charges. They also changes their payment and management platforms within a few months ans simply confusing us! This place used to be a great place. The police are always here! There are people threatening other around the building, people are always fighting, there's loud music playing at all hours, someone was recently stabbed, the laundry machines are constantly broken, and the list goes on..

The staff is super helpful, and the space is very clean! Pool is usually available and very nice, pretty big too.

Angelique and staff made my move in process a breeze. Love how the Parker’s are pet friendly and keep up with the cleanliness outside. 10/10

The property manager, Angelique Villanueva, is unprofessional and unreliable. She lives on the property but still fails to show up for scheduled office hours or appointments, including tours that only take an hour. There is no reasonable excuse for this kind of behavior, and it leaves a very poor impression of the community. If management is paying someone to be on-site for the convenience of residents and prospective tenants, then that person should actually be present and doing the job. Unfortunately, Angelique has demonstrated the opposite, and it reflects badly on the property as a whole. For the sake of residents and anyone considering moving in, she needs to be replaced with a manager who takes the role seriously and can provide the professionalism this property deserves.
