I have lived at Avondale for almost 2 years. My first year here wasn't so bad. My only issue was an AC maintenance problem and maintenance came and fixed it right away, which I was grateful for.
My second year here has been a nightmare though. I have been putting up with a noisy neighbor for months now and I have been losing sleep over it and it has been causing me a lot of anxiety. I have complained to management over 10 times and I have met with them in person to talk about it. They tell me
...the same thing everytime; they will look into it and resolve the issue and keep in contact with me.
The major problem with this is that they have neglected to actively solve the issue and have not updated me on the situation. I feel like they keep forgetting that I am having this problem with my neighbor. I have to constantly go to management and re-tell the same story over and over again and I have not seen any progress thus far.
My neighbor has been so noisy that I have had to stay at a friend's place some nights because I just can't sleep. I've had to take sick days because of my lack of sleep as well.
I've asked if I can move out early since this problem is affecting my general well-being and management told me that I would still have to pay off the rest of my lease and I would not get my security deposit back. They told me that before I make that decision, to wait for them to resolve the issue, which they obviously have not done.
I feel like this issue is a good representation of how management here treats their tenants. All they seem to care about are the rent checks, and not if the tenants feel safe and secure in their establishment.
As for other issues, there are a ton of weird odors in the hallways (you can sometimes smell weed too), the laundry machines always seem to be broken, and the place is always having security problems. Cars have been broken into, the wooden gates at the entrance have been smashed through, and people are always trying to sneak into the building.
I definitely do not think this place is worth the price, or even worth it at all. There are much nicer and safer apartments elsewhere. I hate to leave such a bad review but this is how I honestly feel about Avondale.
I really wish I never moved here.
