WORST APARTMENT EVER....... i'D GIVE THIS PLACE NO STARS IF IT WAS POSSIBLE Honestly one of the worst places to ever decide to live at. Don't let the show room or model room fool you. I definitely do not recommend it for many reasons. From the first day, we moved in my roommate and I have been facing difficulties and issues. They charge you for the full month of September when the move-in date is September 16. ". First, the apartment was completely dirty and had so much damage. We found leftover food in the cabinets and dirt... read more

This is possibly one of the worst places you can live. I definitely do not recommend for many reasons. From the first day we moved in my roommate and I have been facing issues here. They charge you for the full month of september when the move in date is september 16. Each person living in the apartment is supposed to receive their own set of keys but my roommate didn't get hers until about a week after we moved in because it "wasn't ready". First the apartment was completely dirty and had so much damage. We found leftover f... read more

THE SPOKE HAS NO BIKERACKS. My gf lives in the front near the leasing office and the nearest bike rack is a football field away. And if you use the rack near the leasing office you'll get a nasty letter. There's also loose cement at the top of the stares so good change this place is gonna get sued when someone slips 

Business response:

Thank you for leaving us a review about your concerns, Casper. Allow us to explain, but also feel free to stop in and we show you where we have all the bike racks located. The bike racks are located in every section of our complex, though it may not be right next to this persons unit but it will still be in their section (A if next to the office). The rack next to the office doors is for future residents to use when they visit the property, and is marked as such; we have many visitors use bikes to visit the property, so this... read more

Although I completely understand (and don't disagree) to the one-star reviews before me, I decided to give this place 3 stars. The location of the complex is conveniently located at waking distance from Downtown. Unfortunately it is also right next to the railroad tracks, which is particularly noisy if your apartment is on that side. The complex is old, but reasonably well maintained and clean. Currently they are making updates, but these are mainly cosmetic and don't improve much to the quality of the common spaces or your ... read more

Business response:

Thank you for such a concise review of your pros and cons, Sabine. We greatly appreciate the feedback, and would be more than happy to discuss it with you in office if you have some time! We know there has been some work order history with your heater, as well as your conversation with Erin regarding the renewal/fees, but we'd love the chance to provide a more thorough forum to improve your Spoke experience. Our general manager Tassion can be reached by calling our leasing office, or emailing tcallanan@livethespoke.com. Than... read more

This apartment complex is the worst place I have ever lived in. Not only is the management unorganized and chaotic, but the infrastructure of the buildings are extremely poor. Thin walls, creaky floors, and lack of updates have made this place the worst facility I have ever experienced. My roommates and I didn't have an outdoor gate and due to managements lack of care and empathy we experienced theft. This place used to be called Greenleaf and considering the name change a lawsuit must have been filed. You will not get your ... read more

DO NOT LIVE HERE. This complex is poorly managed, cockroach infested, and overpriced. oh and don't plan on getting s security deposit even if you live in immaculate conditions. Not to mention the fact there is no parking and theft problem. Also, the structure of this complex is poorly designed and the walls are paper thin. Despite the updated kitchen, it is too small to have more than one person cooking at a time. On the bright side there is a pool for the hot davis days...but i wouldn't recommend getting in...

Lived here from August 2016-August 2018 because the location was convenient. The place is very outdated. Hot water went out for days to weeks at a time. Pipes were so old they let out a loud high pitched noise when pressure built up. Loud enough to wake people up and keep them up. They said that there was nothing that they could do about it. Cars are left abandoned in the parking lot for months. Old loud AC wall unit makes for very hot summers and expensive PG&E bill. What finally did it for me was when the month I was endin... read more

Business response:

Cheyenne, we apologize for your experience regarding the maintenance issues, and want you to know your feedback is welcomed and entirely helpful to our team in making sure it doesn't reoccur. We can't thank you enough for your patience. Outside of your deposit, we're happy to go through any charges with you that you feel are inaccurately billed to you.

My experience with leasing at The Spoke has been unnecessarily strenuous. Management of the property is very slow to respond, and any response made is unprofessional and unhelpful. Hidden fees and other unannounced conditions are only explained and announced to you after you sign your legally-binding lease. My advice: stay away from these apartments. 

Business response:

Josh, thank you so much for reaching out to us about your experience with our leasing team! While we're not certain when/if you are/were a resident, we assure you that this sort of approach to customer service is not acceptable at The Spoke, and we hope that you'll reach out with further information regarding your issues. We look forward to connecting with you further, and finding a resolve. We'd also like to add you can immediately get in touch with our mgmt. team at tcallanan@livethespoke.com, or by calling 530-756-2654.

I'll start by saying DO NOT LIVE HERE. I lived here from Aug 2017 to Aug 2018. These apartments are old and only seem somewhat nice because they throw some paint on the outside to make them seem presentable. Upon move in we noticed the shower head wasn't properly attached to the wall, we put in a repair request and they ended up replacing it which left us without a shower for 5 days, in the middle of summer. I thought "what a great start" and it didn't get better. During December the water heater to our building broke and le... read more
