Bella Terra

Overall I do not recommend Bella Terra and desperately want to find an affordable, better home for me and my teen son. The annual lease, monthly base rent has increased 25% in 4 years, not including monthly community utilities fees averaging almost $200 per month (e.g., the trash pick up is $60!).
The apartments are non-modern (definitely not "luxury") with cheap carpet and old appliances. The freeway noise is deafening sometimes; I use an air purifier too. STAIRS STAIRS EVERYWHERE! A minimum of... 28 stairs to lug my laundry baskets to the lower laundry room, unless I drive, but then there's no parking. PARKING is awful; too far away from my apartment and no visitor parking. Delivery trucks and residents often block my reserved parking space. The residents look nothing like the smiling, diverse-race young people in the apartment finder ads. The neighbor behind me is often drunk and smoking pot on his patio. In October 2024 a SWAT team broke the window of A-11 to arrest the inhabitant. The sheriffs coming for domestic violence disputes is common. Homeless people hang out on the empty lot next to Building A. Thankfully I have found a couple good neighborly friends, hard working, good families like me. We may move out together. Lee mas

Make sure you view the surrounding area and or unit if possible before applying to ensure full satisfaction upon move in. I had seen pictures of green grass areas and polished units but when coming into my unit on move in date it was a different story. My unit area has muddy dirt patches which poses a problem for my shoes, carpet and pet. I wish it had been grass like other areas in the property. There was a lot of kinks in my unit I immediately noticed and wrote on the self inspection sheet. I... took pictures as proof so this doesn't affect me during renewal/moving process of my security deposit. I had to submit about 8-9 work orders for things I think should have been done before moving in. Now that I'm settled and most of my work orders are complete, I'm pretty happy although I wish something could of been done about the nearby landscaping and wish my unit was floor and not carpet.

The newly renovated unit at Bella Terra looks beautiful (but there are quality issues), the views are great, and the neighbors are friendly. However, we have only lived here 3 weeks and already have several unresolved maintenance issues which have not been addressed despite multiple follow-ups. We are, so far, extremely disappointed with the response to maintenance issues (for example, we are still missing a window screen and we still don't have access to our mail because the keys provided... didn't work in our assigned mailbox and, when asked, the man at the leasing office said they would "try to get it fixed"...that was 2 weeks ago).

this place is beautiful please to live with good environment and kind people and good services.

I have lived in bella terra for a couple of years, this residential is very quiet, the facilities are in good condition and the neighbors are friendly.
