The Palms Apartamentos

are thin, you can hear what your neighbor is doing downstairs, and the floors and ceilings creak like a 200 year old house. After the huge fire in February, which I learned is not their first, one of my friends whose building burned down said the renter's insurance policy offered by the complex left him with nothing. It's livable for my broke college phase of life, but it's not wonderful. If you care enough to be reading the reviews, you should look elsewhere.

AS FAR AS YOU CAN

Would not accommodate this request although the complex was extremely unsafe. I have a puppy, and did not feel comfortable leaving him there alone. They are less than understanding and professional. I have been a model resident up to this point, I’ll add; never paid rent late and never had any complaints. To top it off, this apartment complex is one of the worst I’ve been in. Upon moving in, there were stains in the carpet, holes in the walls were horribly patched from the previous resident. The walls are BEYOND thin, you’ll hear everything your neighbors are doing, and I mean everything. Very small washer and dryer, everything is dated, and absolutely smells awful due to the amount of residents that smoke marijuana. Honestly, look anywhere else but here to live.

space as far as storage and living space, though the kitchen is very small and there is literally one drawer in the whole kitchen, in my unit at least. They claim to have ice makers but I do not have one, not sure what the situation with that is. Pool is nice but the workout room is practically a storage closet with a treadmill in it and the grill is always broken.(Been closed all summer with no offer of rent reduction or other compensation to make up for the loss of access to amenities anyways.) The parking is a serious issue, they do not guarantee you a space anywhere near your apartment or any space at all, people are parked all over the street and every spot it filled up. The insulation is poor so you will have extremely high electric bills in the summer but your apartment will still be sweltering. Again insulation comes in to play because you can hear every noise your neighbors make and they can hear you. And by everything I mean everything. I can hear the TVs, voices, walking, talking, restroom visits, music. Everything. Overall it has been acceptable because the price is low but that has been going up yearly so it is becoming unaffordable just like everything else but not offering any updates to make the increases worth your while. Rent price is misleading. They will tack on fees like water/sewer, trash, pest control, pet registry, and a new monthly fee for your pets which they never did before the last year or so. Feels like just another scheme to get more money out of the working class and into the hands of the wealthy. You will likely end up paying close to 50-60 more a month in rent than they claim on websites after all the "not included" fees are added on to base rent. So to sum it up...meh...if you can't afford anything more it's ok-ish. Sorry for the long post but wanted to be as thorough as possible instead of just saying it's good or it's bad.
