DO NOT MOVE HERE

June 21, 2023 - Review from Apartments.com

Buyer beware! Do not live here! My husband and I lived here for almost 5 years. It was fantastic in the beginning but the management majorly went downhill. You will have holes in your ceilings for months because they contract out for drywall repairs. Corporate doesn’t allow them to have the budget to fix issues. On top of that, several office staff are incredibly rude and act like it’s an inconvenience to ask questions on the rare occasion that we went to the leasing office. We had mold and it ...

took weeks for them to take us seriously. We have already discussed our concerns with management prior to moving out. These are not luxury apartments. They’re old buildings built fast for the 1984 Worlds Fair so they have constant issues since it was built with no integrity. All repairs get the “landlord special”. I’m not one to leave a bad review usually. But I can’t let someone else not be aware of the insanity that is, The Palmer. DO NOT MOVE HERE.

Over priced, find another

December 21, 2022 - Review from Apartments.com

I’ll try and keep this review as honest as I can, I do not recommend living here. It started out great but there are a multitude of issues with this place. The rent is over priced. You can find the same floor plan but brand new property with washers and dryers included just down pleasant ridge road, for the same price. The floor plans are spacious and overall pretty nice but the quality of the build is not good. These are old buildings with constant leaks, cracks, and plumbing issues. The walls ...

are paper thin and some of the buildings are shifting causing the giant crack on my wall where water comes through. I believe this is a safety issue. Daryl is a good community manager and I believe he genuinely tries to look out for you but there’s only so much he can do. Upper management has proven that they do not care about this property. I often get fees and higher rents that get thrown in last minute.

Cheaters and Liars

October 14, 2022 - Review from Apartments.com

The place is in dire need of upgrades. The previous management gets blamed for all the current problems. Before leaving, the office offered to post our deposit to our last prorated rent, I declined and paid it instead. Now, 3 months later, I ask about the status of my deposit, and I'm told the documentation was sent to corporate for you to receive the deposit. One day later, we are told that we owed over $500 in back utilities. I challenged this saying that we were never late on a rent or ...

utility payment. The manager stated that he had zero documentation to show our charges, but that the $450 deposit was credited to our fictitious balance and they credited the remaining $100 to us. They will lie and cheat you. Homeless is a better option than here.

Clean and Friendly

The Palmer

March 27, 2021 - Review from Apartments.com

I just recently moved to The Palmer and I love it so much already! Super spacious and I love my patio. They are cat and dog friendly so my furry friends are enjoying it too! I Would recommend these beautiful apartments to anyone!

Amazing

December 23, 2020 - Review from Apartments.com

I have lived in multiple apartments in the past few years, but The Palmer takes the cake. The amount of space is great and the amenities are outstanding. I will be staying here for a long time!

I’ve lived here for almost a year and I LOVE IT

April 24, 2020 - Review from Apartments.com

I really do love these apartments! I’m not being paid or bribed to say this, they’re so nice, great location, and super friendly staff! I’ve researched so many apartments and lived in multiple and I love it here!! It’s the best! I see myself here for hopefully years to come!

Great place

March 21, 2020 - Review from Apartments.com

Lived here for 2 years. Not too far from anything like restaurants and grocery stores but not right in the middle of town either. Loved the renovations. Apartment staff are very friendly and very helpful.

Great Place To Live

January 28, 2020 - Review from Apartments.com

The staff there are extremely friendly, the community is quiet, and the apartments are super comfy. I lived at The Palmer for 6 months until signing papers of enlistment with the Army. They gave me zero hassle and worked with my situation! We had one very minor issue with our apartment and the maintenance guy showed up within a day to fix it (he's also very nice and listens!). If I ever moved back to Knoxville I would 100% move back here.

10 out of 10

October 10, 2019 - Review from Apartments.com

The first time we tried to apply here the apartments went so fast so we didnt get the chance to get one. SO if you want to apply I suggest doing so right then. The second time we tried we got accepted for the apartment we are living in now. I LOVE IT HERE. Our home looks just the like photos and everything has been wonderful so far.

we love the palmer

October 8, 2019 - Review from Apartments.com

We moved in a couple of months ago, and so far everything has been wonderful. My apartment looks just like the pics on here, honestly even better! The staff has been so friendly through this whole moving process, answering any/all questions that I have. I moved here from out of state, so going blindly into this was a little scary for me. I went with the gut instinct and which complex actually responded to me in a timely manner, which was the palmer! It is so calm here and my neighbors have been ...

so friendly. Even the courtesy officer is friendly and he actually walks the property unlike other apartments we have lived at lol We think that we are going to be staying here for a couple years until I graduate, so this place is now home for a while. If you take anything from this review, just know that if you are thinking about living here I suggest you do. We love it!

Palmer Review

October 1, 2019 - Review from Apartments.com

After just recently moving out of this apartment complex in August, there are plenty of reasons for the one star rating that I am giving! The first thing that I didn’t really like was the water damage that my apartment took within the first month of us moving in. The next thing was the amount of things “promised” to the residents that would be coming in the near future that never happened until we were moving out like the “24hour gym and parking tags” so that was a waste of my time to hear. ...

Towards the end of our lease in the apartment we get more water damage in my roommates closet and the laundry room and the patch work that was done on that project was ridiculous and looked like an amateur did that and no compensation was made for that! Lastly, after we had stayed there a year there were a few damages done to the apartment as things happen and one in particular was the couch has drug up some of the laminate flooring, which was cheap as hell and there were 4 little spots that it had messed up but when we get the final statement back for the apartment they charge us $800 for floor damages and I just don’t know how they got that price with how cheap and thin that stuff is! Their estimates are absolutely ridiculous and not realistic and just another way to squeeze out more money.. 1/10 and would not recommend this apartment to anyone especially students unless you want your money taken for a pricey estimate of cheap repairs.
