Merrill Creek Apartments

something to look at. It takes a good deal of time to get any maintenance done, and the maintenance people are not exactly what I would call friendly, neither are the front office staff. The rickety wooden fence that they call security, is laughable as it is literally falling apart with planks all over the ground. They claim they have a security company, they really don't, try calling the security and it'll go just to a message and no one will come. Car break-ins happen at least a couple times a month, I've had my cars broken into 3 times now! The kid playground is actually rather dangerous and I would not recommend kids playing on it, I definitely won't let my son play on it. They have been claiming they will be getting security cameras the entire time that I have been living here yet they have never done it... The words pathological Liars comes to mind. I am highly considering not renewing a lease here, I would rather pay yet another deposit on another apartment complex then deal with the garbage here... Speaking of garbage, you should see the pile of garbage that forms in front of their dumpsters every weekend... It's amazing they don't have a major rat issue yet. Looking back, if I knew everything I knew now, I would never have moved here. I've had my car broken into, I had someone tried breaking in through my Sons window, I have seen countless crimes on the property occur, all the way to including shootings.

then leave. They keep putting more beauty bark on the grounds so there's fleas like crazy even when you have no pets. New residents don't know how to use the compactor and leave trash all over the ground. The old maintenance guy, Casey, wrote a guide to use the compactor and the office never passed it out because these new girls are too lazy to actually work. Rent keeps going up but the standards and conditions of the apartments are staying the same. Haven't been able to use the pool all summer because every time we went we were told it was closed due to chemical issues and there was no sign posted saying so. If you're okay with fixing your own apartment and having cheap carpet that comes up around the doorways and baseboards when you vacuum then this is the place for you.

husband works with him and has spoken to him about it but hasn't stopped.and our parking spot we pay for each month is always getting taken by other people. Not to mention that it's in Lakewood. Someone's tires were stolen right off their Dodge Charger . It was parked right next to our car which is right in front of our apartment door!! Also the mail boxes keep getting broken in to daily. It's happened to us three times already. The office knows about it and says they are installing camera around the complex but we will see. Definitely not renewing our lease specifically because of the other residents and crime,
