I have lived here for years and it has been nothing but a positive experience. Emily in the office is always sweet, kind, professional, and extremely helpful when times are tough. Maintenance is very quick and the place is well kept. Going to miss living here! Thanks Village peeps!

I lived in this apartment for two years. Sadly we left chico but this place was very nice to live in, it was safe. My one bedroom apartment was a great size. It was perfect. The staff was good but in the leasing office, the lady that's there is super great! She is always helpful and always made sure that everything got to us in time. If I had any questions she would always try to clarify it to me. She is the best! If you are interested in this apartment you have to talk to Terranai, she is well organized and she tell you the truth about things not like other apartment complex.

I lived at this complex for about two years and have very little to complain about. Maintenance is very attentive to requests and the staff is always happy to help you with whatever you need. I love that they are an animal friendly complex and even have a small dog park located on the property as well. Leasing consultant Terranai McCrary has always been so eager to help with whatever I need and is very knowledgeable regarding property management and lease revisions. I recently went through finding a sub leaser for my apartment and she made the entire process stress free. Overall, living at this

I have lived at the Village at the Timbers for 3 years.

There as been many issues that keep reoccurring, along with a recent issue that broke my trust with this apartment complex completely.

1) Front (walking gate) was broken for several months, forcing students walking to have to walk halfway around the complex to get in. This happened 2 times in the 3 years (for months each time!)
2) Driving security front gate was then "broken" where it was stuck open for several months. This allowed numerous homeless/sketchy people to walk right into the gated complex. Now they just leave the

They've got a package for me I didn't know was even being sent to me. They're refusing to forward it and just talked over me on the phone.

Looks like I'm going above them or taking them to court finally. I hope they don't mind paying for my time and bills to get up to Butte to file.

So the security gate never works and the walk through gates break all the time and you only ever find out once you're there trying to open it. Also the new management is less than favorable, and they do this really cool thing where they shut off a buildings water to work on plumbing without giving the residents a heads up. On top of that the office is closed all the time.

My girlfriend has already done a review so I will try not to be repetitive on here. This place was truly the worst rental experience we have ever had, I had my car broken into TWICE with the office not caring at all either time I brought it up to them. On top of that, one of my parking permits was stolen which I had to pay to have replaced which is absolutely ridiculous in my humble opinion. Car gates were constantly broken, and the gate that you walk through to go to the Timbers (and you'll be using to get to class faster) always had things jammed into it as the Villa Sierra folk used

Fix your freaking gate locks! It really hurts to jump your fence when I pay to live here!

Village at the timbers is a great place to live. They are constantly holding events where you can win prizes such as gift cards and free food, which is always nice as a broke college student. It's right next to the bike path leading into csu chico which makes in very convenient to get to school. Trevor, the office manager, is super helpful and understanding with any issues that may occur. There's coffee and free printing in the office mon-sat and even breakfast on fri extending into sat if there is extra. I would recommend this place to my friends if they are looking for a 1-2 bed place

I lived there for almost a year and had my car towed because my parking sticker fell off, despite them having my car's info in the office! They refused to reimburse me for any of the towing costs.
When I moved out, I left it cleaned out but dirty (all trash removed but it did need some light cleaning). The docked me several hundred dollars for trash hauling, and of course hit me hard for all the other cleaning requirements. Overall, I believe they cost me nearly $500 of my deposit for no reason.
There were also loud neighbors and trash left around. Oh, and the security gate never actually

My fiance and I just moved out of Village at the Timbers and it was a sad goodbye. We lived there for 2 years and really nothing bad at all to say about our stay there. We are right by Chico state and there are always specials going on within the apartments. They serve coffee daily, breakfast on tuesdays, and dinner during finals. They always keep up on the garden and the whole apartment grounds. The girls in the office are sooo amazing and when we got engaged they all signed a card for us with a gift card to bed bath and beyond. If you are looking for a great apartment while going to school in

At first, I was wary about moving into an apartment with no washer/dryer in the unit, a swamp cooler in the living room and no a/c, and a kitchen so small no more than 2 people can stand in it at one time. However, my worries were quickly turned around. The cooler keeps the whole apartment at a good temperature, the washer/dryer room is open 24 hours a day and is only a minor inconvenience.

Plus the complex is gated, and I feel very safe all the time.

The complex is a little expensive, but well worth the money. It is very well maintained and looks clean and nice at all times. They allow pets

The Village at the Timbers has a great location right on Nord, about 500 yards away from CSUC's campus. Only about a quarter mile from Safeway, and a handful of restaurants. The staff is very helpful, especially the maintenance. They'll be at your door right away if you need them. The office staff is good too. Very helpful, always calling and asking if everything maintenance does is satisfactory. The entire complex is surrounded by a fence, with gates. Usually there is parking near your apartment, but sometimes not. Occasionally I'll have to park at the other end of the parking lot
