Cedar Manor Apartments

The apartment themselves are cute, spacious, and well-designed. I haven't had any major mold problems like the other reviews describe, other than some mold along the door frame or windows during the winter when everything is super wet and you have the heating on. It's super close to the university, within walking distance for sure. No assigned parking but there's usually plenty of street parking available so it hasn't been a huge issue. Not the quietest neighorhood ever - lots of police sirens and ambulances coming to the nursing home across the street, also a regular homeless guy who walks by and yells at night a few times a week. Overall 3/5 stars.

At first living here was great, but as time went on that drastically decreased. There is no adequate parking. You basically get lucky and get a parking stall or have to park on the street. There is no leasing office on the property and they've had a homeless problem. When we moved in they didn't even provide us with the garbage code. There was mold growing on the doors, closet walls, and windows. We tried everything from dehumidifiers and cleaning it with a mold cleaner, but it would always come back. Maintenance is extremely rude. During a routinely maintenance check we asked the maintenance worker if he could put on shoe covers as we didn't want debris on the floor and it was during COVID and we've been extra cautious. With little effort of trying to put the shoe covers on he got upset,

The company who owns this small apartment complex are very unprofessional. Five Star Builders are based in Banks, so there is no management on the property. I have spoken with Tina many times and she is extremely rude and does not know how to communicate. Our apartment started growing mold because they built this building as cheaply as possible (Even though they call themselves Five Star Builders) so moisture kept coming in under the baseboards (I talked to many tenants and they all said the same thing). We informed management multiple times but they did not do anything about it. I started getting respiratory issues and we found out that the mold had spread to our bedframe. At one point, we were without hot water for a month because management and maintenance does not communicate with each

Overall, this is a cute complex with newly built units in a convenient location in Forest Grove. However, there are a handful of things I wish I had known before submitting a deposit. Basically, Cedar Manor is not managed by a professional management company. It is managed on a (seemingly) part-time basis by a couple of employees who also work for Five Star Builders, the firm that built the complex. We were surprised and angry by two things in particular that deviated from the standard practices of most apartment complexes: First, there is no flat cancelation fee if you leave in the middle of your lease. Instead, YOU are responsible for finding someone to fill the unit, or you have to continue paying rent until the lease expires. They will help find someone, but ultimately they are not

Not professional, slow to fix critical repairs, little to no access to management or maintenance.
