READ THIS BEFORE YOU RENT AT CONTEMPO NOVA.
I was genuinely excited to move here. I applied, planned my move, and was ready to sign. After dealing with the leasing team and seeing the property for myself, I walked away. Honestly, I’m relieved I did.
The leasing team was HORRIBLE. From the beginning, the communication felt argumentative, dismissive, and passive-aggressive. I had reasonable questions about pricing and instead of feeling like someone was actually trying to help me, I felt like I
...was being treated as the problem.
That was a huge red flag.
If you cannot trust the people who are trying to get you to sign a lease, think very carefully before handing them thousands of dollars.
Then I saw the property.
THE AREA: I personally did NOT feel safe or comfortable in the surrounding area. I strongly recommend driving through the area yourself, especially after dark. Do not make your decision based only on a daytime leasing tour.
SECURITY: Building and elevator access felt far too easy. I personally did not feel comfortable with the level of security and access control I observed.
CLEANLINESS: I saw dog waste, urine, stains, and encountered a strong marijuana odor inside the building. The apartment itself had stains and an unpleasant smell.
THE APARTMENT: The model apartment is spacious and polished. The actual unit I was shown was significantly smaller and gave a completely different impression. SEE YOUR EXACT UNIT BEFORE SIGNING.
THIN WALLS: If you care about peace, privacy, or quiet, pay attention to this.
And the craziest part?
I WANTED TO LIVE HERE.
I was excited. I applied. I was preparing to move.
After seeing the reality, I went from “I can’t wait to move in” to:
“THANK GOD I DIDN’T SIGN.”
Do yourself a favor before renting here. See the exact apartment. Visit after dark. Walk through the building. Check the elevators and access points. Look at the common areas. Check for odors and cleanliness. Listen for noise. And pay very close attention to how the leasing team treats you when you ask questions.
A beautiful model apartment and a good sales pitch do not tell you what living there will actually be like.
I walked away before signing.
If you’re considering Contempo NOVA, do your homework first. You may see the property very differently once you see it for yourself.
