Honey Creek Apartamentos

to improve the property and making the residents happy. Thank you Tracy and John for making news changes and helping all the tenants when in need. You both are awesome!

driving down the road, and over the ever-annoying speed-bumps, can be annoying. For example, kids tend to not pay attention to cars coming down the road, but neither child nor driver can see one another until they are already in the road. This is because the sidewalk and building entryways are largely concealed from view until any person walks past the cars, directly in the road. Sidewalks only exist on State Road 135 and one side of the road inside the Complex. The complex sidewalk is not ideal for riding a bike or running a dog because of people and lack of continuity. 135 is usually too busy to bother crossing with a dog or bike, so one can really only travel down one side of 135 which means dealing with intersections. The country roads that form a perimeter around the complex 'block' do not have sidewalks to ride down. They have less traffic than 135 but enough to require sidewalks for safety purposes. The Complex's main road is just too cramped, full of speed-bumps, and small to allow joyful exercise. Dumpsters: They have 4 dumpsters that hold the complex's trash. The problem is ALL of the dumpsters are inconveniently place towards the very front of the complex. All of the people in the back area (look at Maps for a layout) have to walk their trash quite a distance. It's just an annoyance. When it's cold, it's just better to drive the trash when you're already on your way to do something. Maintenance: Maintenance claims to be 24/7. The staff is extremely respectful and nice. Weekend maintenance isn't truly 24/7 because it is only in case of emergency. Even then, however, they do not respond swiftly to emergencies all of the time. This seems to be because the Apartment's organization makes too little maintenance people travel long distances between complexes. Not only that, there was probably miss-communication in shift switching from one tech to another. On another occasion within 10 minutes a tech was at my place on the weekend to fix multiple issues. Every time I thought of something he took a look at something and fixed it on the spot if he had the right equipment. All along he was the most respectful, kind maintenance guy I've ever met. The lack of regular weekend staff is extremely annoying. Working full time means I can't be there during the week to watch them work in the apartment. Instead, they have to let themselves in, and I have to trust these people I don't know to not steal a single thing in my apartment. It makes it feel much less secure. It also makes one feel like we are getting ripped off. We pay for an apartment for the convenience. Since we have no equity in this property, we expect to have consistent maintenance response and peace of mind. Amenities: The screens are all of poor quality. They allow bugs in. The hallways where our entry doors are located are often extremely dirty and the lights attract huge amounts of bugs. The street lights put out a TON of light pollution. They are there to light up the main road, but they also light up every single room in the apartments that face the road. Remember, the road is extremely close to the apartments, so it's hardly dark at all in the rooms at night. If one likes to sleep in darkness, they really have to get dark curtains of some sort. Appliances such as fridges, stoves, dish-washers are all included. Dryer and Washer are NOT included. They have to be rented, bought, or used at the community laundry located ONLY at the front office area; however, the appliances that do exist are extremely old with good upkeep that has them well past their prime. However, the maintenance guy I mentioned above has been over to fix any appliance issues. The good upkeep can only do so much, though. The toilets are terrible as well. They are extremely small toilets. They never over-flow due to small flush size. They do often get clogged though. It is very easy to clog the toilet. so many times one has to use a plunger. Again, though, they don't overflow. They are just terrible at doing their job. Apartment: The apartment is fairly spacious, but their rooms are targeted towards families. They have one bedroom that is massive and private with its own bathroom, but the other is much smaller with only a closet. This isn't ideal for roommates, but if you don't care to have a big room then great. The walls are terrible. All around, every wall you can think of is made of poor quality material regarding sound and insulation. The walls between adjacent rooms, rooms above and below, and walls next to the main hallway allow all sound to travel inside. I can hear word for word conversations between those above me when they argue (yes elevated voices but not terribly loud). I can hear when they walk, when they flush, when they open and shut door or cabinets. I can hear those walking in the hallway. My roommate and I can hear through our walls easily. Office: The office only accepts money-orders and checks which are very inconvenient for modern day payment systems. Debit transaction would be nice. They have no online payment method. Office hours are extremely inconvenient for full-time 8-5 workers. The office is only open 8-5 Monday through Friday. This has a few implications, one of which is that it makes it difficult to get packaged mail. The mail area is tiny with small locker mailboxes. Packages typically can't fit in there, and they can't be left at our front doors because of shared hallway space accessible to anyone and everyone; consequently, the packages are left at the office for us to pick up. It becomes a chore to arrange a time to pick up a package from the office when they are only open while one is working. Overall opinion: It is better than many complexes from the safety, location, and spacial aspect. It has many many annoyances and shortcomings for how much it costs though. The area is just not fantastic enough to warrant such prices. I'd say you get less than what you pay for, but it is safe and spacious.

nice and knows what he is doing which says a lot for honey Creek maintenance. The manager in the office changes so frequently I really can't say I like or dislike them . Jaime was amazing! She was personable and business oriented. That's so important! Now we are going on manager #4. It's about once a year they fire the manager and hire new . There's absolutely no amenities here not even a side walk! Not even dumpsters and not enough parking . I have to say though it's center Grove schools and the rent is affordable but again you get what you pay for . There's a lot of traffic in and out of this place. That's concerning. Over all though despite all the flaws it is a good place to live for a short amount of time. One thing I don't like is you will never know your neighbors. Every one is so anti social. I would recommend honey Creek for a "starter" place to live.

you can feel it. They are always running throughout their apartment and you can hear it and feel it. The best thing about this apartment community is the maintenance guy, John.
