Desert Heights

Best apartment in barstow, clean pools, laundry and surroundings. The only thing I am not a fan of are some of the pet owner residents who doesnt pick up after their dogs. But management is very helpful and the routine maintenance is great.

This apartment complex is just ok, but probably among the best Barstow has to offer. It's likely overpriced for the state of the apartment - very outdated kitchen and bathroom set up.

However, I have to say that the worst part about living here is having to deal with the management. They are very difficult to track down, no one ever answers the phone, and they never seem to be in the office. If you leave messages, they aren't typically returned. Maybe the owners of the apartment complex… need to hire additional staff or take steps to ensure that the current staff are more involved with tenants.

In addition, payment of rent, service requests process, etc is very antiquated. You still have to drop off a rent check, whereas many similarly priced apartment complexes have migrated to online systems for payment of rent etc. All in all, I probably wouldn't recommend, but still likely the best Barstow has to offer (which doesn't say much).

Extremely overpriced! Parking is not regulated (hard to find a spot), dumpster area is nasty all the time, laundry room is over priced and not taken care of (by tenants or property management), too many water shut-offs, AC/Heater continued to go out, carpet was extremely warn/needed replacing, older windows (not double pane), no noise restriction policy (and if there is one it definitely was not enforced), lots of noise from street side, water bill is extremely high (billed monthly at apartments… but bi-monthly in town and its almost triple what you'd pay in town). These apartments are a rip-off, not to mention the security deposit is a joke too, DO NOT expect to get it back (they tack on so many things that they don't tell you about). These apartments are a huge disappointment! Read More

Been here since 2016 and it’s always been quiet up until a lot of Barstow college kids have moved in. Windows are thin so you can hear everything outside. Kids are always yelling and screaming late at night... no courtesy for people with little kids and those who work. They have a quiet policy at 10p but it’s not enforced. Gates hardly ever closed so security isn’t that secure. Rent just went up and a lot of us tenants who have lived here, including military, are questioning if rent is worth… living here. Last but not least there’s no assigned parking so it’s first come first serve and if the college kids have visitors they take all the parking. It’s annoying but weigh ur options is all I’m saying.
