Bad property

August 28, 2025 - Review from Apartments.com

A/C not working for 22 days & don't care to fix. Property is having a lot of homeless people camping out. Property is not being managed. Lots of people moving out.

Good morning, Thank for your feedback. We wanted the opportunity to address and rectify any and all concerns that you may have had. Do you mind contact our leasing office so we can further assist you? We are unable to see any additional information on who to contact on our end. We look forward to speaking with you to address these items. Thank you, Encore At Buckingham Apartments Team

Rent increases!!! Construction noise!!!

May 21, 2023 - Review from Apartments.com

First lease term renewal was 8%, second term renewal 9%! This is unmanageable for seniors on Social Security. The shuttle service has stopped, and ongoing, very noisy messy construction on buildings due to neglected maintenance. So sad... I do NOT recommend Encore.

Property Manager Responded

August 27, 2024

I am so sorry for the extra noise while the property was getting a face lift. All the construction was complete last fall. If you have any further complaints, please let us know here in the office.
