Castaic Lake Apartments

This apartment complex is a hidden gem in Castaic. There is a rich community of friendly neighbors. The managers are good communicators– giving regular updates and advanced warning of maintenance. They are kind and easy to talk to and vigilant over safety and cleanliness within the complex. They both exude trustworthiness. When children need to be addressed they are both gentle and firm.
I love that the children who live here play together outside in the afternoons, forming friendships and learning to get along well. The laundry room is kept clean and I’m almost always able to do 3 loads at once.
Living here has been smooth, fun and safe on the practical level. Maintenance can be counted on to respond quickly to a request and they are such nice guys. On a relational level, this has been one of the friendliest communities we’ve enjoyed being a part of.

Do not rent from this place! Born Again Christian Managers and beyond cheap and unprofessional owner! You will be discriminated against if you are not a Born Again Christian! Manager has no experience in this industry, nor does he have any management experience at all! Arrogant and condescending! Kids and family’s are very loud and have taken over the place! Loud Harley Davidson Motorcycle starts up under bedroom windows at 5:30 AM! (By the way, Harley Davidson Motorcycle Neighbor is a real piece of work — Mental Case)! Psycho! Manager does not even know the laws, nor does he have a spine to handle any of these problems! There are noise ordinances and laws that protect renters against this kind of invasive noise and as a renter you are entitled to «peace and enjoyment» in your home! You will not find that here!!! And in addition, you will be beyond frustrated with the management or should I say «lack of management» and the beyond cheap owner that you will want to pull all of your hair out! Do not rent here!
In response to the manager’s attempt to clean up his own review he neglects to give the full picture. First and foremost, not everyone responded to the survey that he mentions. Part of the reason for this is fear of retaliation. Because if you do complain he will throw you out of your apartment! This is factual! The other thing, most of the responses were from his Born Again Christian friends that he caters to. Again, if you are in his click you are treated differently. Not all tenants feel the way that he is trying to portray in his biased survey. Then, he convieniently left out the part of the survey where the common complaint even amongst the people that did answer was the loud and mischievious kids that have taken over the complex and he does nothing about. To expand on the complaint about the kids, the survey said that the kids are disrespectful with people’s property, meaning people’s cars and damaging people’s cars while they are rough housing outside/​playing. He also doesn’t mention that one of the tenant’s actually is video taping these events because Matt has told her that he will not do anything about it and threatened her to not video tape! NO, NOT EVERYONE IS HAPPY HERE! He is dilusional and in his own small world full of his own arrogance! THERE HAVE BEEN MANY UNHAPPY TENANTS HERE WHO HAVE MOVED OUT ON THEIR OWN, BECAUSE THEY COULDN’T STAND THE CRAZY AND BIASED MANAGEMENT HERE OR THE THE BEYOND CHEAP OWNER! OR HALF ASS MAINTENANCE! When Matt and his wife Ashley took over as managers last year, I will never forget the comment from Ashely, that they wanted to manage because they wanted to get the «right kind of people» in here! Meaning their Born Again Christian people! I remember the look on her face and the tone in her voice when this got said! It was arrogant, condescending and manipulative! Thier plan from the beginning was to fill this place with thier own kind and get rid of anyone else who doesn’t fit that mold! Completely a discriminatory set up and two uneducated people running the show here! Again, not your «normal» renting situation here to say the least!
In response to the manager’s latest attempt to clean up his own review… it is obvious that he cannot take critique, nor can he handle the truth! You and your wife have no business in that job! You do not have the experience, nor do you have the spine to handle real life problems with your tenants! And you are a liar! You have thrown out tenant’s for complaining and that is a fact! This complex is filled with Born Again Christians, like yourself, and that is a fact! The common complaint in the survey that was taken was that the kids have been monkeying with people’s cars and causing damage, and that is a fact! You do have a motorcycle starting up directley under people’s bedroom windows and throughout the parking lot and down the long driveway out at 5:30AM, disturbing every single tenant in the place… and you do nothing to protect the rest of your tenant’s against this invasive noise at such an early hour, and this is a fact! Many many previous tenants have left because of the «biased and crazy» management here, and that is a fact! You are not living in the real world! You can continue to try to clean up reviews regarding this place, but, the facts remain, and have, and will continue to speak loud and clear for themselves! This is not a «normal» rental experience!
