Black Mold is the least of the problems
August 5, 2026 - Review from Apartments.com
List of problems that despite multiple maintenance tickets, never quite get properly fixed:
-Black mold in any part of an apartment that has running water. Showers and toilet-rooms especially have poor air flow, which results in mold growing crazy.
-Ants and black flies. The entire complex has a bad ant problem that they try and deal with in a very cheap manner. And in addition, you'll consistently get swarms of black flies in and around the kitchen no matter which apartment unit you live in due ...
to how the kitchen sinks are hooked up + their poor-quality garbage disposals.
-Consistent internet problems. If you're reliant on the internet for any sort of work (be it actual work or school work), look elsewhere. Duck's Village uses the local Hunter Communications ISP, and it's a poor-quality service.
-Low standards for tenants. Part of this can be chalked up to the state's tenant protections backfiring on everyone else, but the apartment complex is slow to deal with violent, belligerent, and antagonistic tenants.
-Growing homeless population that raids the dumpsters, screams at you for throwing away your trash, and steals bicycles. Don't leave your bike locked up on the bike racks, because you'll either have it gone, or they'll steal your wheels.
-Proximity to Autzen Stadium is either a big plus or a big minus if you're a sports-fiend. All I can say is when there's a game at the stadium, you physically can't leave DV's parking lot due to the sheer amount of traffic, followed by not being able to get out of MLK Memorial Blvd.
