Strombeck Properties

"Absolute slumlord. Do not rent from them. They are discriminatory. I also asked for a walk through sheet, the guy Ron/Roy- whatever - said they don't typically do that and the only charge I could have is maybe under my stovetop which he lifted up - I had someone come clean that after. Only lived there for a few months. They kept hundreds out of my security deposit when it was clean and polished like new - the outside porch was even cleaner than when I moved in. We had flooding to which we called about and my mom tried to tell the maintenance staff how you deal with that with the landscaping and they wouldn't listen. We had items damaged and had to throw them out because of mold/mildew- they claim that we never had flooding and then they claimed that they fixed the issue? double backing what they originally said. They are liars- they are cheats- do not rent from them."

"I have rented with Strombeck for about four years now and I would definitely recommend them. They are reasonable about most stuff especially when you communicate with them. They are compliant and friendly towards documented assistance or service animals. They keep their properties up to date and maintenance responds quickly to requests even when it's not an emergency. The only reason I took one star off is some of their apartments can be over priced for the amount of square feet and in the Hidden Grove 459 building the smoke detectors are a few feet from the stove so naturally they go off all the time. Overall I have had a very positive experience with them. Updated: I decided to change my rating from four stars to five stars because they really are that much better than other landlords. After my recent experiences with different landlords I now realize how wonderful Strombeck truly is. They are really the best you can find in Humboldt. I no longer feel their units are over priced because of the outstanding service they give. Jessica and Briana ( and really everyone in the office) are truly wonderful people. We recently moved out and accidentally left some items behind. Not only did they hold these items for us, they also shipped them to us. They had every legal right to toss the items but instead they went above and beyond for us. I seriously can not say enough kind things. I HIGHLY recommend Strombeck."

"Rented a studio at their Parkway apartments. Experience was mostly good. Apartment was nice and clean, but small (expected). They responded very promptly to all maintenance requests. The exception being a particular neighbor that was disturbing people and clearly breaking direct regulations in the lease agreement. This persisted for many months. Despite complaints by multiple residents, the antics kept up and the resident was "allowed" to continue disturbing people (even threatening people's lives). Overall, great experience except for their lack of ability to enforce their own lease agreement in that one case."

"We leased a studio apartment at Parkway. None of the students except Freshman are guaranteed housing next school year, so we had to start leasing now, even though we’re not using it this summer. We were already bummed about that, so it says a lot that despite the situation, the leasing agents made the process very pleasant. Brianna and Jessica were very responsive, professional, and friendly. The apartment was as expected, and cleaner than expected with new paint. It’s very close to the university. The grounds were lovely and well cared for with trees, flowers, grass, picnic tables, bbq’s for outdoor grilling, and a small waterfall. There were lots of birds singing. It was quiet at night. We felt safe there."

"Standard rental company. We lived here for 1.5 years in their complex. Maintenance was fast, very low energy to get things done. Some office staff can be standoffish, but on the whole it was not a bad experience. Very clean when we first moved in, but rent was insane (over $1k) for a 400 square foot apartment. The doors swing into the "bedroom" in Twin Parks instead of out, so it feels like even less space (no idea who was the contractor). It was easy to get set up with them originally. We did have an issue with getting our deposit back- whoever cleans for them tried to charge for an 8 hour clean when the apartment was essentially spotless. They should be audited (the hired cleaning company), but the company refunded us more shortly after. I'd probably recommend. Humboldt is way too stressful for most rentals."
