This place is fortunate to even get 1 star. Save yourself the money and go elsewhere. This apartment complex is a rip off and lacks safety, to say the least. As a result of cameras and gates not functioning properly, there was a homicide, which warranted our decision to move out. We didnt feel safe and the management could care less about people and remained focused on profit. Our security deposit was also cut short, for God knows what reasons, and the balance that was owed didnt reflect on the check issued to us. We remained patient with their lack of understanding, but believe its our due diligence to warn others who might believe theyll be moving into a reliable environment. We were also told that our months rent will be returned to us, as someone has rented the unit. Come to find out, they took our whole months rent, approx $1900 + $418 of the security deposit. Desperate for money and could care less about peoples concern? If thats the kind of place right up your alley, sign a lease here.

This apartment complex has gone downhill. There is management switch every so often resulting in miscommunication and no one ever in the office. Like other reviews on Yelp as well. There was a homicide which made me wanting to move out as I had to walk over it everyday where it happened. They refused to give residents any information so we were all very nervous what happened. Parking sucks there barely is any guest and have many vehicles parked for months. Save your money and find another complex.

Overall I had a great experience at La Provence. I lived here for 3 years without any problems before moving out of state. Here’s a list of the pros and cons that I have experienced.PROS:Location – It’s located in one of the greener parts of Sacramento. You also get access to the river bike trail. There are many restaurants in the area and Raley’s is just down the street. Sac State is just over the bridge.Grounds – The grounds are beautiful and well maintained. I especially love all the trees.Safety – The first year I lived here I was single, so safety was very important to me. La Provence has night patrol and their gates are closed at night so it was mostly safe (few exceptions are listed in the cons below). I never experienced car or home break-ins. My husband did get his license plate stolen once, but that was one incident in 3 years.No drama – The staff and neighbors were very friendly. I’ve heard of many apartment complexes having nosy landlords, but La Provence is not one of those. Their staff is very professional and helpful.Maintenance – Richard the on-site maintenance guy is great. The few times there was an emergency, he was easy to reach and came right away. When my washer and dryer broke down, he let me do my laundry in one of the vacant apartments until he could get someone to come out and fix it.Large kitchen – Their kitchens are insanely large, especially for an apartment. SO MUCH CABINET SPACE. But I got a little carried away and bought too many kitchen items. Now that I’ve moved to an apartment with a smaller kitchen, I have to get rid of a lot of that stuff. So keep that in mind if you’re planning to move to another apartment in the future. This kitchen size is rare.Appliances – Has all the standard appliances, including washer-dryer and microwave. The fridge has a water filter and ice maker which is a bonus.Outside storage closet – Really helpful for extra storage. Just make sure the boxes you use are sturdy because at one point rats did get into the closet. But they left after Richard set up traps.Mail – They recently installed an Amazon Hub which makes picking up packages even more convenient.Online rent and utilities payment – Super handy.Note: I’ve seen some reviews complaining about the smell of marijuana but I never smelled it. I guess I got lucky that I wasn’t living near anyone who smoked it.CONS:Price – All these conveniences come with a considerable price tag. And bear in mind that rent does get raised a good amount each time you renew your lease. The longest lease term they have available is 10 months. But if you can afford La Provence, I think it’s worth it.Construction – They’ve been working on new apartments for a while now, so you get a lot of dust and construction noise. I was lucky that my apartment wasn’t near the construction, so I was spared that inconvenience. But they seem to be close to finishing it, so it shouldn’t be a problem for much longer.Homeless people – During the day the gates are open, so homeless people will come in on their bikes and rummage through the recycling. I’ve never had an encounter with one so I’m not sure if any were dangerous. But I don’t blame this on La Provence because as the homelessness crisis worsens in Sacramento, this is inevitable.Creaking floors/ceilings – I lived on the first floor, so I heard creaking every time my upstairs neighbor walked around. That being said, I rarely ever heard anything else from my neighbors like talking or music. I just learned to tune the creaking out.Loud traffic – My apartment was near the border with Fair Oaks Blvd so traffic sounds were pretty loud. If you’re not bothered by traffic noise then this shouldn’t be a problem.La Provence is the only apartment complex I’ve lived at in Sacramento, but I did a lot of research before moving there. I believe it’s one of the best in Sacramento, so it’s definitely worth checking out if you’re looking for a new place to live.

Nice apartments, wish they were a little less expensive but the employees in the office are super kind and the amenities are nice too.

Despite being one of the nicest options in the area, it is a bit overpriced. Its still good for someone doesnt care a lot about the value, but want the best option around.+Huge elegant kitchen+Renovated+Richard, the maintenance guy is an amazing person.+Ashia, is very friendly too.-During business hours the chances can be only 50% the office is open.-Despite remodeling, aging is inevitable.

I have worked at La Provence for 5 years now and absolutely love our residents, our apartment homes we have to offer and our LOCATION! Being an office employee, lunch and dinner are just walking distance and Downtown is just minutes away! I love it here and dont plan on leaving anytime soon.

The staff is professional and easy to work with. They care about keeping the property clean and tidy and we are happy to help as vendors.

Alot of construction, but its shaping up nicely, right near Sac State and bike trail which is good, parking is tight, but thats everywhere.

Could not say anything less about this group. I have lived in apartments all my life without any problems untill La Provence, property managed by FPI in Sacramento. Who ever heard of a 10 month lease. At the end of my lease they wanted an increase of $152.00 per month. DO NOT RENT FROM THESE PEOPLE YOU WILL BE SORRY! They kept all of my security deposit for made up reasons. I moved out for 2 reasons #1 The homeless problem on the property is out of control. Day and night they come thru the fence from the river side. They are constantly searching the garbage bins for cans and bottles to recycle. I had many unpleasant encounters with them. Personally I would say not very safe if you have kids. BIG HOMELESS PROBLEM BE WARNED. #2 The unfair increase in rent. All things considered I would say these were the worst mannered managers and landlord I have ever dealt with.
