I hate complainers. In my line of work it means they are trying to manipulate a system to milk it for something free. I believe that you can catch more bees with honey than a stick. That being said, however, the following are reasons why I found it necessary to rate The Oaks apartments with 2 stars, and write a review of malcontent.
No one is a bad guy here. The Oaks at Southlake Commons is a beautiful complex with a lot going for them, and I understand that reaching the caliber of promises they
...have made takes time. The people who work for management, whom we have communicated with, have been as gracious and accommodating as they possibly can. Being the middle man between construction and the prospective tenants is a difficult place to be in, and in no way is this a commentating plight against them. However, and this is where my words take a turn, my wife and I may have been made promises that caused more inconveniences than accommodations.
My wife and I have been in the process of moving cross-country for the last 5 months. We found the listing for The Oaks here, and we invested and signed to a move-in date of June 1st. We gave proper notices to our jobs, we rented and packed a truck, and are now in the process of moving from one end of the country to the other. We planned every bit of our lives around the date we were given and signed for. Two weeks before our travel dates, we were sent more contracts to sign, namely a Construction Addendum that rid the complex of liability for any further set backs. We signed, thinking it was just a small contingency if the pool wasn't done, or paint needed to dry. This was our mistake. Having had all of our plans made, trucks signed for, hotels booked and everything paid for, we had no choice but to continue on our trek across the U.S.. Now that we are two days away from our final destination, our moving in is looking hopeless. After reading reviews and calling certain electric companies and management services, all answers we have received are tentative and contradicting. Which, with a moving truck and nothing left but a few dollars to spend, we have found ourselves deep in debt with having to pay for contingency plans to otherwise accommodate a move-in date we were promised, but have had pushed back.
That being said, if you have even the slightest bit weighing on moving into this complex, I would seriously recommend that you look elsewhere until the parties that be have a more definitive answer to questions.
