*Save your $$$$ by not renting*
October 30, 2023 - Review from Apartments.com
Apartment looks nice on the outside but you will face a lot of issues. Lived here for quite some time and I know the inside and outside of the apartment as well as the leasing staff from the past and present
They basically try to charge you for anything and everything on move out. Don't get into trap that the rents are low. They are low only for unites on second and third floor. They are all carpeted and filthy. Images on website are from few upgraded apartments on ground floor.
I will never ...
recommend this apartment to anyone to rent. If you care for yourself, and your mental health, stay away.
- No security at all. The doors of buildings are always open. The lock is broken or the door is stuck. Folks asking for donations will come upstairs too. Leasing staff will put the blame on residents who try to keep them open and In the end they will not help.
- The apartment is not cleaned properly. I have changed two units in 5 years. They only use cleaning products to hide the stains and you will start to see them appear within a few days of starting to use them. They will charge you the amount needed to fix these problems during the move out.
Attached are the photos of the second apartment handed to me. Cabinet paper peeling off. Broken light switches, shabby tub with stains. Last picture shows the bill they charged when I moved out after 2.5 years.
- Tub Glazing is another way of making money for them. Charged $395 for the same. Look at the original condition of the apartment handed over to me.. Keep in mind if you move out Be prepared to bear these burdens.
- Abusive utility bills.. For someone in 1B*1B apartment, the bill will be around 200 USD or more.. I was out of the country for almost two months but the bill was never less than the existing amount. The leasing agent will say divide it by the number of units in the building and blame a third party. In the end, they will be of no use!!
- Had my car break in. Leasing staff did not even check in with me. On informing and asking if they have any information or can help. Answer was no.
- Yes, the lease increases are disproportionate with market prices every year. They claim that they do not increase as much as the apartments in the near vicinity. But please keep in mind. You need to bear these increased utilities every month that covers their balance. Also on moving out they try to get as much money as they can to cover up.
