Stay far, far away from Cambridge Towers Apartments
May 7, 2023 - Review from Apartments.com
I have been here since 2020. Allow me to share my experiences.
The mail room had issues with security in the past and packages were often stolen from the area. They have a camera now, at least, and some more locks, so that is an improvement.
There are rooms, including mine, which do not have the ability to ring someone up, and yet others do have that ability.
The building is old, with old pipes which have leaked multiple times into my room. Recently the seemingly yearly leak hit again, this ...
time in the bathroom. Started on a Friday and wasn't responded to until Monday. Only by the next Friday were efforts managed to stem the tide, and the bathroom still not only reeks of mildew due to all the water, but won't be properly repaired and hopefully cleaned up until this upcoming Friday. We'll see.
It is a very loud area: often times you will hear music blaring outside, even with the windows shut, and most weeks during summer there is some form of street racing out in the intersection, although generally this lessens once winter hits.
Water gets shut off for hours almost once a month, at least.
The new owners out of California are pretty bad. They attempted to force me to pay money I didn't owe them which required going through court. Wasted everybody's time and put mountains of stress upon me.
Office times are confusing. The office door says Mondays - Fridays from 9 AM - 6 PM and Saturdays from 10 AM - 5 PM. Last week I was told they aren't actually open on Mondays. Also 75% of the time if you go down to the office on those days they are seemingly closed. They don't really appear to reply to messages left on the phone either.
For some reason they think that they deserve to raise the rent higher. Why? Nothing substantial has changed for the better. The updated laundry facility isn't worth the price hike. They cleaned the garages, updated the infrastructure, and repaved the front parking lot. But the apartments themselves are still not in good shape. Where do they even get off doing that? They have done nothing to deserve the rent hike.
Stay far away from Cambridge Towers Apartments. If I could rate this lower than one star I absolutely would. We'll see if they end up trying to fight for the security deposit. They certainly don't deserve to keep it. If you must come here I suggest looking into starting some sort of tenant's union.
