Zen Diamond Apartments, An Active Senior Community

"Professionally Kind, Friendly Staff, Beautiful Grounds, Talented Maintenance People Security Patrol making Safety a Priority, Pet FRIENDLY; who could ask for MORE??!!"

"I been living at Zen Diamonds for almost a year. Very nice place to live in. The office staff very friendly and manage the property extremely well. I made a good choice to come live here. The maintenance staff the best. They maintain the property in order."

"Their is a Reason they call this place the Zoo. Although the maintenance staff is professional and competent, The Manager is Rude and Callous. The sudden addition of Utility costs on a mostly fixed income community was Cruel and disruptive to many residents including myself. I’m currently attaining legal counsel to help sort through what I consider to be an extortion charge. Apparently Investment concepts Inc. feels it necessary to Gouge Vulnerable Sr Citizens out of what amounts to another months rent over the course of a year. This charge was imposed suddenly after over 5 years of residency. I have never been given a proper explanation I can understand and accept. After 5 years of on time payments amounting to over $60,000 in revenue for Zen Diamond, I was given an eviction notice to move out or pay a $217 billing discrepancy. They were insistent that it be paid immediately with no option of a partial payment plan. I’m going to find out through litigation if this is even a legal procedure on their part. An update will be coming soon."

"They charge for water sewage , trash and soon they will be charging for using the washing machines. (YOU already pay, but you will pay for the use as well. Also you won't get your security deposit back. use"

"Let me first disclaim that I am not, nor have I been, affiliated with Zen Senior Living Diamond Valley except as a new resident. In fact, I have only been in Hemet , CA, one other time and that was to the Quality Inn (see review.) I never visited Zen Senior Living Diamind Valley and had only seen pictures due to my lengthy stay within a Skilled Nursing Facility (see my prior review Riverwalk.) Zen Senior Living Diamond Valley is truly an Amazing Apartment Community. The facility grounds are so inviting with Rich gray/black colored buildings with pops of yellow. A Gorgeous Pool with popping lounging spaces and a barbeque area with 2 side-by-side (for those big senior citizen pool parties. lol) The Clubhouse is Awesome with such great communal areas, it only takes a couple of seconds to figure out what to do. Play/Work/Read or watch, with so many options available and so inviting. There is card playing in one area, while dominos are being played in another, the Media area in another, and an on-going puzzle that many residents are collaborating on, along with areas to get peace and/or pick up a book or magazine. There are several tables both inside and out that are to do whatever, maybe catch-up on some work, if your like me (cause I'm not retired yet..lol) The inside of my apartment is incredible! It's crazy, but true, that it is exact in every way, shape, form, and design, to my friend's much more costly, less asthetic and inviting community, in Riverside, CA. Exact even down to the identical heater in the bedroom and a/c unit in the living room. The quaintness of this community can be expressed in many different ways. While walking the one mile loop that is properly marked off in sections, for those looking for individuality in their daily workout plan, you get that tranquil feeling of mindfulness. The path continues throughout the community and has staircases on each side, of each of the buildings. At the base of each staircase there are expressions within the landscaping of the residents from within. This a beautifully peaceful and charming way to exercise the legs on that early morning walk. It's very serene extremely peaceful. Oh! My apartment, by the way, looks like it's Brand New. (And NO, it wasn't the model unit, but it could have been - minus the furniture...lol) There was not one single thing that I honestly can say that is wrong with any part of my living space (and based on the prior reviews I have made on other social sites, one knows that I am not shy about reporting and expressing problems and expecting diplomatic solutions.) Aside from seeing my friend's exact, more expensive, and less asthetic unit, in Riverside, I have never experienced visually a bigger walk-in closet for a one bedroom apartment. (I think I can fill it up...maybe... lol) Last but definitely not least, of this grand journey I get to call Home, is that the Staff here are AMAZING! This is not to say that everything or everyone at Zen Senior Living is PERFECT, but more important to me is how they have handled their imperfections. (and mine.!) In my case, the leasing consultant, Gilbert, and the Community Manager, Michelle, made every effort to go the extra mile, even considering my unique situation.. They ensured that my needs were met in every way, even given the obstacles that often come to those renting for the first time as a senior citizen. Especially with my newly discovered, lack of knowledge, of certain and ever-changing rental processes. (i.e., The lease is 45 pages, so don't forget your reading glasses. lol - ) To say, "the photos online of this place don't do it justice" is not accurate - on the contrary .. that's wrong!! It looks just like the photos.. (Keep in mind I never visited here until AFTER I had signed my Lease. So I could tell the place was "AMAZING." I was very surprised that it was true to its online advertising and name -Zen) This Quiet GEM of the Community should have a waiting list longer than any other place that exists presently within the County of Riverside. +++ But it didn't."
