Capitol Yards

We lived at Capitol Yards for 2 years before going overseas for a while and after coming back couldn’t help ourselves but sign a lease again. Excellent community, perfect staff and awesome amenities. Very comfortable resort style living overall. Easy communications and smooth maintenance if needed. It’s nice to be back home again.

I've lived at Capitol Yards for almost 4 years. There is no security. My vehicle has been broken into 4 times over the last year. Also, extra parking spots are 175.00 a month and there is no guarantee that it will be available when you get home from work. If there was security, they could manage parking. Every time I call the office I'm told to call the tow company myself. Getting my parking spot back is a two hour ordeal. Happens at least once a week. Why am I paying so much for parking when there isn't any assistance or service?? Been here for four years and most likely will not renew unless something is done about this.

Maintenance is always quick and does a great job! Very happy with the service at capitol yards!

I have had the best experience living at Capitol Yards. The maintenance crew addresses any issues that I have immediately. The staff is attentive, friendly, and efficient.

You'd have to reach to find things to be displeased about with this apartment. There really are no gripes at all. It's well kept and visually appealing. Parking spots, in unit laundry, AC. It's really nice.

Excellent response time to any concerns. Wonderful maintenance crew and office staff. Great experience here. Love it.

Capitol Yards has been a wonderful living experience for me. The apartments are comfortable and have plenty of storage space, as well as being modern and clean. The grounds are beautifully maintained and there are endless areas to walk dogs. Its a walking area with easy access to downtown. But most of all the staff are the best, always available to help and always warm and welcoming. They make living here so easy. Love it here.

I love this place.. perfect location, beautiful buildings, awesome pool and amenities. And the management staff has always been immediate to respond and very helpful. I'm very happy hear

I have lived in mini complexes in the Sacramento area, I love this place! Everyone that works there and lives their respects the grounds and takes pride in where they live!

Excellent move in experience, extremely helpful people, friendly, great attitude.

Our A/C was not functional. Thanks for and Jose and maintenance team helping us and lending us a portable cooler during this hot summer time.

Great location in downtown Sac, however, feels peaceful and quiet.

Capitol Yards is a gem! So happy I came across this place, it seriously had made my transition moving to California that much smoother. The amenities the complex offers are everything needed and more.

Best place to live! Friendly staff, fun events, luxury apartments and amenities!

Moved to Capitol Yards in July of 2020 from midtown, have enjoyed every minute living here! Great location being so close to highway access and just across the river from downtown.

Great amenities and safe--overall 4 out of 5 stars.

Living in the Capitol Yards for almost 6 months now. The staff is incredible. I feel very catered living here. People who live here are also friendly. Great community.

The maintenance is the best here! Thanks for everything

The maintenance guys here are the best. Always friendly and polite. Always willing to help and keep the place nice and clean. We live in a nice community because of Ludwig, Jose, and Ron. Keep up the great work guys you are appreciated.

Do not rent here! Terrible management! I had to break my lease because I bought a house. Therefore I talked to the management and they confirmed in writing that they would waive the penalty for break lease if I find somebody to take over the lease. I actually found somebody but they won’t keep the promise. Penalty is paid and they won’t refund. Just check other reviews it’s all said, pool area gets full of garbage from non residents, homeless on complex, no security at all, leasing office employees unfriendly and not willing to help, no parking possibilities and so on.

Maintenance crew: Great Sam in office: Great Rest of office: rude, condescending My full review won't fit, it's too many characters. Keeping it brief, this place lies about policy. Parking was supposed to be abundant and free. Was never enough parking, people had to park all along the street in a bad neighborhood. Then in the middle of our lease they began charging for parking. Next, on site security was not usually there and was ineffective when around. Homeless people bathing in the spa, non residents abusing the pool area. Bogus charges when moving out for cleaning a spotless apartment and replacing lights they refused to fix. I've been renting for 11 years and this was by far the worst experience I have ever had. Pretty apartments, bad location, even worse management.

I've lived here for a year and it just keeps going down hill. First and foremost, parking is absolutely impossible. Unless you have an attached garage or carport, good luck finding a spot after 7pm. I work nights and typically get home around midnight. For the past month, every night when I get home from work, I have to park a block and a half away in a really sketchy area and walk by myself to my apartment. Every street spot within 5 blocks of the complex is a 90min metered spot, so don't count on having guests over unless it's a weekend or past 6pm. Let's not forget we are still in West Sacramento. I live on the backside of the complex and the neighbors behind the complex are awful. They are constantly blasting loud music and screaming at their children. On a daily basis, there are homeless people going through the dumpsters. Kind of awkward when you're just trying to throw out your trash. The pool area is nice but is completely blocked in by tall buildings, so you see very little sunlight. The main building has a nice pool table and many TVs but is only open during office hours. Kind of defeats the purpose in even having those things when most people will want to use them after 6 PM when it's locked. The new management absolutely sucks. When I moved in, I was assured that the cost of sewer, garbage, and water (which they split up between everyone and add onto your rent) would never be over $25. As soon as new management came on it jumped up to $45. I'm not sure how a studio apartment uses $45 worth of sewer, garbage, and water each month but it's mandatory to pay that. There is an awesome little fire pit area near my apartment that I used to use. As soon as this new management took over, they put a lock on the on switch so you can't even use it past business hours. Again, why would you want to use this before dark? It has a timer so that wouldn't be left on, so I didn't get it and asked management. They told me the lock was put on so homeless people in the area wouldn't use it. Considering there is 24 hour security I don't get how this could be an issue. Management said they would look into it and of course never did. They are the worst about getting back to emails. No matter how urgent, count on about 3-4 days before you get a response, if at all. Although I like the proximity to River Cats and that this is a brand-new complex, there are way too many issues to overlook. Can't wait for my lease to be up next month!

AC extremely loud and obtrusive. Overall performance of unit poor at best and I often leave it off. Not level of luxury one would expect with the billing. Webpage features Tower Bridge as backdrop to pool area. Image is a composite and does not reflect actual skyline from that location. I've asked where the pet wash station is and I've been told by staff that they've "never heard of one". The car wash station is a hose nozzle next to a parking spot adjacent to a dirt field. Communication and organization within office is poor. Expect exaggerated sighs and eye rolls. I sent an email with a complaint requesting a reply to the direct email of the property manager on a Friday at 10:50 A.M. I called on the following Monday. I was told she "thought she replied". I was told that my email was sent on Saturday. I was told the property manager works M-F. 08-2016

We have been here for 5 months and have experienced too many issues despite our patience and trust in the management. Many of our neighbors did not renew after their leases expired and now we know why. We regret signing a lease as the management staff does not do anything they say they will. We have had major issues with the apt (loud AC/heater, water shut off to complex without notice, outside lights not working), complaints about car and apartment break-ins, and staff who flat out denies being informed of issues (even after issues have been reported multiple times). the apts look nice, however that is where it ends with this complex. Beautiful pool and clubhouse. Horrible neighborhood with people walking through every night trying to break into cars, totally unsafe. We are from a big city and this is ridiculous, no security here. Report issues to staff and they respond with 'sorry about that', absolutely no customer service. Very sad, this could have been a great experience. Heed the warning and look elsewhere.

I would compare the volume level of the AC to having a commercial leaf blower running in your living room. Be certain to ask to hear the AC units while viewing a unit prior to leasing. I would specifically ask to hear the AC of the unit you are renting. While not my only disappointment with this property, the air conditions in units are extremely loud - to the extent that you need your tv volume on 100% just to begin to hear your tv and you can forget about having a regular volume conversation with the AC running. I knew the area wasn't the best side of town, however I didn't expect my jogging stroller, which was under the stairs, to be stolen in less than 24 hours. Additionally, going on walks with the family have been a bit scary. One example, on our very first walk, a drunk man was throwing glass bottles and screaming. He was standing directly in the middle of the sidewalk (100 yards from the buildings).. Needless to say, I am not comfortable with my wife and child going on walks alone.
