I’ve lived at Holden for about 2 years now. The first year was fine really, management was good and dealt with issues, Rodrigo was very helpful. The second year has been a complete nightmare, new management hasn’t lived up to the same standards which is often the case when these properties change ownership. It doesn't feel like the same place anymore.
The good: The location is great, the maintenance crew is very good too, no issues there, and honestly the apartments are nice inside. Pool is
...nice, they are pretty strict with the number of guests which is fair enough.
The bad: The noise is unbearable. Constant barking from dogs left by inconsiderate owners on balconies. There’s a royal rumble dog barking match every day in my courtyard. Residents will have party’s outside in the courtyards until gone 2am on the weekends and you can hear everything even from the top floor and there’s nothing you can do about it. Other times people will sit and shout at each other on their balcony until the early hours. We ask them to keep it down after 11.00pm and they shout abuse back as they are almost always drunk. Then they leave trash all over the place, that's the kind of people who will be living next to you.
Management don't enforce the noise complaints, or people letting their dogs run freely through the grounds. From my balcony I saw one woman recently trying to leave for work one morning that had to turn back as there was a huge black poodle bounding towards her, the dog's owner nowhere to be seen.
The air conditioner will cut out at random so you return home to a 80 degree home, it's an easy reset on the system but shame it happens so much. Dog wash is really good, when it works. The car gate is almost always broken.
Recently my dog was bitten by another dog on the grounds since the owner couldn’t control her dog and it got off its leash. I like dogs, but this place is ridiculous. It's non-stop, so if you are in anyway sensitive to noise don't move here. If you enjoy sleeping in past 7am on a Sunday, don't move here. You will be woken by some clown letting their dog bark. Now the construction noise is a different level, but this isn't Holden's fault so I can't hold them accountable but it all adds to an uncomfortable please to live.
There are simply too many properties out there to take a risk on this place, do yourself a favor and look elsewhere.
