Fondren Hill Apartments

why other than the market allows it.

get to hear every heavy footstep through the ceiling thanks to how ultra thin the ceilings are. As a student at UMMC, I chose this apartment for its convenient location and low price. But if I could do it over again, I'd gladly pay an extra $100/month to live without the regular maintenance issues and overall utility struggle.

about it, and they kept on saying that they are going to send pest control to our house, but nobody came for a long time. They made innumerable holes to the walls, doors, floors, closets, etc. They even ate our food and stocks; it's like hundreds of dollar’s worth of food. We sent so many emails and even went so many times to their office to complain, but they were least concerned. We had to throw away the rat poop, We even had to kill the rats ourselves using traps, throw the rat corpse and wipe the blood. It was really so disgusting, and we received no help from the management. Even after that they never came to at least patch up the holes that were made by the rats. 2.False promises:after the new manager came, we requested for a new unit with the current price of the rent. They agreed to that and told us that the new unit would be ready by next week. Just the day before we were about to move in to the new unit, they told us that they cannot assign us the new unit with the old price and we have to pay the increased rent. We were so frustrated with this, but we couldn't do anything. 3.Roof leak: Since a few months we have been having roof leak issues. It was the dirty water leaking from the dishwasher of the apartment that was above the room. We complained, and they sent someone to fix it. However, they temporarily fixed it, coz the roof leak happened again after a few days. We have been literally begging for the service which is their duty to provide. And yet, the management has been so irresponsible that they don't respond to our concerns. They are treating us as if we are living here free. Even after paying such high rent, we are not receiving the service we deserve. With all the issues we had we have been living in a very unhygienic household for a long time, and yet we could not do anything about it coz we are bound by a lease for one year. This management has treated us really badly. We DO NOT RECOMMEND anybody to ever come and live in this apartment.

management company, Chasseur Realty Jackson, and have heard nothing. DO NOT RENT FROM THEM!

and seemed to occur at the worst possible times. Rent keeps going up every year. These apartments have been here since the 70's. Maybe longer. They are old. They have been doing some "remodeling"--- basically just new fridge, dishwasher, and vinyl hardwood floors. But many units still have a problem with leaking from the ceilings. And not minor leaking. Downpour of water related to some sort of plumbing issues in multiple places throughout the unit (which is why they opted for vinyl floors in my opinion). It's simply ridiculous that they keep increasing the rent with all these issues. They did recently become pet friendly, but you also have an increase in your rent each month if you own a pet. It's not just a one time deposit. Your rent increases. No surprise there. Also I hope you have plenty of lamps when you move in. The electrical wiring is so cheap in most rooms in your apartment (particularly the two bedroom unit) there are no lighting fixtures in the living room or bedrooms. Basically--it's a good location. Walking distance from UMC, Fondren district etc. And unfortunately, that's really the only appeal to this place.

immediately if not within 2-3 days. This apartment complex IS indeed pet friendly, we had a cat and a dog and there are several dogs within the complex. There is a pool and two areas you can go and throw with your furry friend! People are friendly and welcoming and the Manager is as nice as can be! She is willing to work with you, whether that be with an issue with your unit, rent or you just have any questions. I have lived in several areas in Jackson and this BY FAR has been my best experience. Our apartment was a two bedroom and it was three levels. The biggest I have seen in Jackson for the price you pay. First level, kitchen, pantry, a dining area and half bath (our fridge door could open and close with plenty of room for you to walk by), second level is a very large and spacious living room (we had a sectional couch, a chair, bookcase and still enough room for activities!!! Last but not least the third level has two bedrooms and a full bath. There is also a large patio out back. The area is located in Jackson so as any where you live you must be wary of your surroundings but the community is far from unsafe, it is gated with a security code and I was out at 2 am and later multiple nights throughout the time I lived here, walking too and from bars or just out hanging out with friends and never had an issue! The apartments are a bit old but in great conditions, there are no ceiling fans or light fixtures in the ceilings. The parking lot is a bit tight but I never in the years I lived there had an issue not finding a spot to park. There isn't a bug problem, we saw one roach in three years?!? and it probably got in from having the door open for too long. You can't get much better than that. I don't think I could express this enough that you get what you pay for and then some. I could rant on about this place but my review is long enough. Please go check this place out for yourself and you will see what I am talking about!

Ridgeland and Belhaven has better apartments for cheaper price.
