Creekview is a great place to live! My wife and I lived here for 1 year before we found something closer to our jobs.
First of all, Kandie, the office manager is amazing to work with. She knows all of her tenants, remembers their names and is super easy to work with. We hated the thought of moving and not having someone like Kandie come with us.
The Apartment: Our apartment was a 900 sq foot 1 bedroom on the ground floor. We had tons of natural light and the layout was very nice. The bathroom was spacious and bright, the bedroom was big and had a huge walk in closet. The walls and carpets were clean, the thermostat is easy to operate and we were never too hot or cold. There is a lot of storage space between the hall closet, front room closet and the private outside storage closet. Full size washer and dryer hookups are in a closet in the kitchen. The only complaint we had was that in the kitchen there was no pantry, but we took advantage of the hall closet as a pantry/linen closet. The walls do a great job at keeping sound from other units out. We never had any complaints about neighbors being too noisy.
Maintenance: Martin the maintenance guy is great! We had one small leak under our kitchen sink when we first moved in but after reporting it to Kandie it was fixed right away. Martin is usually always on site (during business hours) and is a super hard worker. He's friendly to all, and is great at what he does. He also works hard at keeping the sidewalks clear when it snows.
Grounds: The grounds are really nice! A grounds crew is there weekly to bag leaves, cut the grass, and to do odd jobs like taking care of the trees, and even to fix cracks in the cement. We were very impressed at how well the grounds were cared for. Dogs are welcome and there is a nice grass area for them to play on and a doggy bag dispenser nearby. Smoking in the apartments or on the apartment complex grounds is not allowed and this rule is enforced! Tenants are encouraged to report people violating this rule. There is a pool on site but we never swam in it. In the summer it never looked super crowded, though.
Parking: Parking wasn't the greatest, but to be fair it is a small complex with under 100 units so they didn't need to build a huge parking lot. Each apartment is assigned a covered parking space that you can use for $15 a month. If you have 2 cars like we did, then the 2nd driver needs to find an uncovered space to park for the night. We never had issues with vehicle vandalism and we never heard of anyone else having problems with it either.
Location: We loved how many stores and restaurants were a short walk away from us! To do our weekly grocery shopping we would walk to Smiths, which is right next door to Creekview. It's close to freeways, parks, church, banks, malls, and anything else you could ever want. If you are LDS, you will be in the Midvalley 11th branch, not ward. It is a small branch made up of a few apartment complexes. It is an awesome branch! There is a good mix of younger married couples, older people, and they even have a small primary.
Cost: We payed $800 a month for rent (prices may have changed), $15 for parking, Water/Garbage/Sewer was around $35, Electric (Rocky mtn power) was around $30, and gas (questar) was around $15-$20. You could make your gas and electric lower if you chose to use heat or a/c less than we did.
Moving In/Out: We had the easiest time moving in and out. There were no hidden fees, no drama whatsoever. We paid a simple optional cleaning fee as we moved which was very reasonable. It was well worth the money so we didn't have to do it.
Overall we loved living at Creekview. It's small complex, and because of that we felt like we were able to create good relationships with management and our neighbors. We recommend Creekview to anyone looking for an apartment!
