Unsafe area and poor management- PLEASE READ
November 4, 2022 - Review from Apartments.com
My wife and I lived at Cedar Common Complex for a year and a half since July 2021, and I start with the conclusion that I do not recommend this complex mainly due to its unsafe area and poor management.
Initially, we moved into this complex because in July 2021, there were very few one-bedroom complexes available for our move. However, I wish we had paid a bit more and chosen a better complex.
I had a $500 foldable bike that they cut the chain during the daytime and stole in front of our unit ...
(see the image below.)
They have some cameras around. But that is a joke! It is only active with motion and only saves maybe 2-3hrs a day. So they could not find whoever stole our bike, and management did not care about it, as if this was so common.
If you wash clothes in their public washers, you have to stand by them. They steal clothes very frequently.
You can not dump the trash in the trash can late at night. We have seen some homeless people sleeping in the trash can rooms. It can be scary at night to go to the trash can room. We sometimes leave food or unwanted stuff for them.
Many addicted people are around the complex at nighttime, especially on weekends. There is a school and a parking area right behind this complex which makes this complex very unsafe. One night a drunk girl with all vomit around her was sleeping in front of our complex.
This complex has four entrance gates, and almost always, one is broken. Therefore, it makes it easy for anyone to get into the complex.
After many complaints, they added a security person to walk around the unit. But it was useless. Still, homeless and strangers are in the unit, especially on weekend nights. He is a lovely guy. But he is not always there, and as he told us, one person is not enough for such a large complex.
The manager, Gina, only respects you when you move in. After that, she is a different person! They never address our issues. At our move-out, she charged us $300 for no reason. $90 painting, $100 for general cleaning, $80 for carpet cleaning, and $20 for drip pans. When we moved out, we made sure the unit was spotless. Be careful of this management.
I wish someone had written these reviews before we moved in.
