I lived at Timber Creek AKA "The Zoo" for over a year and it was a complete nightmare. I was moved in with an ex-convict and a 40 year old man with schizophrenia and a chihuahua. The dog barked every night at 2am and one of the roommates would let homeless people spend the night in the living room. If you have a college kid or are of college age, DON'T LIVE HERE.

I recently moved into Timber Creek and I was so excited to move in! Timber Creek is all and more, if it's hot and you want to take a swim or if socks are all you have that's clean, you can do quick laundry or if you want to just relax on your patio and enjoy Chico. All these options are available to you , at an affordable price! Timber Creek definitely makes the transition to Chico , an easy one !

This is currently my second year living at timber creek and I love it! The apartments are a good size for college students transitioning from home or dorm life. Sometimes there are problems because the apartments are so old but the staff here does an excellent job helping is out with any complications. There is a pool and spa that my roommates and I absolutely love going too. They also provide computers and a study room for college students which I think is fantastic. Living here has been the... best! Read More

Overall I do like my apartment, my room is a good size with a good amount of closet space, the ability to fit a full sized bed with a good sized desk and dresser comfortably and still have room left over. The living room area can fit quite a bit as well. The kitchen however is a bit tight considering these apartments are meant to house four people. There really isn't enough cabinet space, especially if you have roommates that like to cook a lot. The refrigerator is pretty small as well, our... food is very packed in, but we make it work. The apartment also has two bathrooms that are reasonably sized, one is bigger than the other but unless you need a lot of bathroom space they are just fine.
Some really awesome things about living in the complex here is that it is walking distance to CSU, Chico, it has a good sized pool and a small workout room with some equipment.
One last thing about living in these apartments is that they can be noisy due to all the partying going on around and inside the apartments as well as from the train that goes by, so if you can sleep with a lot of noise around, you should be fine.
If you want a less noisy apartment I would suggest getting a place on the outside of the complex, but if you want to be around the party scene, you should get a place inside the complex and by the pool area. Read More
