Dominion Heights Apartments

I had a very disappointing experience living at this apartment. The manager is mostly not always on the office, whenever I had concerns. They have office staff but most of the matter they cannot answer your concern. The surrounding area was poorly maintained — there was often trash and a lot of dog waste left around, which made the environment unpleasant. Neighbors smoke a lot of Pot which is not healthy for non-smokers.

The washer and dryer were damaging our clothes, the hinge on the washer... cabinet was barely hanging on, water was dripping from the AC inside our home, and our bathroom often smelled like cannabis, likely coming through the vent.

When I moved out, I felt overcharged. I had already paid the required penalty for breaking the lease, but they still withheld almost my entire deposit. I understand standard charges like cleaning and carpet cleaning, but charging for painting, extra labor due to spider webs as they say, after only six months felt excessive and unfair.

Overall, I would not recommend this place. Between the poor management, unresolved maintenance issues, dirty surroundings, and unreasonable move-out charges, it simply wasn’t worth the money or stress. Tenants, if you want to live horribly, this a place to stay. Read More

Dominion Heights is a fine apartment. Good location in Fresno. Pool broke and has yet to be fixed. Because of the pool having issues, we were restricted workout room access to only during office hours. My biggest complain about the apartment itself was no ceiling lights in the bedroom or living room. Only source of light was plugging in a lamp. Wasn’t a big deal but it was inconvenient. Photos are animated and don’t match the actual apartment so make sure you visit. Also, be prepared to be hit... with many fees at signing that aren’t advertised (Ex. Pool fee, workout room fee, landscaping fee, etc).

MAKE SURE YOU READ ALL THE FINE PRINT!!!
They won’t lie to you, but they don’t emphasize certain details that should definitely be emphasized. They have several ways they get you so make sure you are reading everything closely. They will not make any sort of effort to alert you or remind you of important details, instead they just hope you missed it so they get more money. Everything they do is sleazy. They aren’t liars, but they have many small details and “catches” that will cost you thousands if you aren’t paying attention.

Overall, it’s a fine apartment if you are constantly and consciously paying attention to all of their tedious letters and details. They lack serious focus on customer satisfaction. It is clear money and filling vacancies is their focus and priority.

I went to apply here and was met with ridiculous fees and extra charges. Don’t believe the listing price. They will bump up the rate however they please depending on the location of the unit. Then there is a monthly pet fee, monthly “amenities” charge ($88!), utilities fees, etc. Whatever the lowest listed price is, be prepared to pay at least $150-200 more per month.

Current resident here. Trying to do a service for all future tenants, DO NOT LIVE HERE. Do not be fooled by the fancy renovations. It is over priced, and there is not enough transparency to where all the charges are coming from. You do not get what you pay for, not even close. Its advertised as gated, but the gates are always open, and no security cameras anywhere inside the complex. There is lack of transparency, lack of response once you sign the lease and lack of simple human compassion. They... really are there to take all the money they can from you and have borderline business practices. Kate, the manager, can be an extremely unpleasant person to interact with, and if you bring up any complaints, you leave the conversation more frustrated. I am afraid to even post my real name for fear of retaliation, as there appears to have been in the past toward tenants from management. Please, avoid this place. Read More

After moving out we recently received in the mail charges in excess of $1,183. We had pre-inspection two weeks in and final walk out inspection when turning our keys in. We wanted to be aware of any serious issues and fix any problems. We left the apartment in good conditions, nothing beyond normal wear and tear. We cleaned best we could. The apartment had multiple opportunity during two inspections to raise any major issues but didn't . I have a feeling management is trying to retaliate... against my family for raising concerns about other issues during our tenancy.
-Firstly, they charged me for rent and utility that I already paid for. Told them several times. It is in my bank statements and forms I signed
-charged for carpet replacement. We already noted the carpet was damaged and old when we moved in 2years ago to old management. This is not our responsibility but yours.
-They charged us for heavy paint. charged. This is not beyond normal wear and tear. Again this is not our responsibility.
- they charged for ozone treatment for food odor?? How ridiculous, I have never heard of such things. We cook family dinners use ventilator and open window. No pets and no smokers there. They never mentioned any issues about odor before we left. They had not one but two opportunities during inspection. Instead they mail something completely different. I could go on....
Future residents BEWARE!!!!! This is frustrating. Kate I am still waiting for your email response. I will update what happens with this process but for now I am still waiting... Read More
