Renters Reviews and Ratings
First timer
July 14, 2025This is my first time living in an apartment, and so far, I’ve had very few issues with either the complex or the unit itself. The management team does an excellent job of maintaining the property and genuinely works hard to create a comfortable living environment for all residents. While every apartment complex has its pros and cons, I feel like the positives at Sterling Point definitely outweigh any drawbacks. The amenities are fantastic, and although renting is just high everywhere right now, ...the overall affordability is ok.Property Manager Responded
July 23, 2025We are delighted to hear about your positive first apartment experience! Thank you for recognizing our management team's hard work in maintaining the property.

February 13, 2025This is the worst apartment I’ve ever lived,it’s been two months I have a problem with the fridge I can’t even feed my family,I have 3 kids,I Went to the office the manager and her assistant told me the fridge is new they are waiting for the company where they purchased the fridge to come replace the piece that’s not working,no one never come I have to order food outside for my family,every time I contact them it’s the same story. This place is horrible. I almost forgot to mention the came with a ...second dirty fridge as a temporary it’s even worse than the first one,the fridge door can’t even close and making a lot of noise and not even work,I went personally in the office the manager told me the noise it’s normal to deal with because it’s temporary,I told her it not working she said she going to send somebody to check it until now I end up getting 2 fridge in my small living room.Read MoreReview from Apartments.com
Avoid if you can.
September 29, 2022We lived here from July 2021 - August 2022 and I would not recommend it. Here is why. - Roach infestation from the time we moved in for about 6 months. They refused to treat or examine other units, even though they acknowledged that they could tell they were probably coming from elsewhere. I guess “luckily” we were only seeing 3-4 a night and none otherwise, but still unacceptable. What do you know - the upstairs unit moved out and they were infested. At that time they were not doing regular ...inspections or sprays. - Neighbors. Everyone was nice, but many did not take pride in their surroundings. Trash everywhere, all over the grass and yards. Unpleasant smells coming from neighbors apartments, infiltrating our own. Children unsupervised and vandalizing the pool, clubhouse, leaving their bikes everywhere, running around with dogs off leash. - Freezer - our freezer was broken for four months, causing food waste of hundreds of dollars. They kept putting the maintenance off - and it ended up being a fairly easy fix. I believe we had to bring this up multiple times to management - the second time we brought it to their attention, they had forgotten about our first request. - Unclean apartment - when we moved in, multiple shelves were covered in dust, and there was food crusted onto multiple walls and doors. - Deposit - On a deposit disposition form we received they are charging us $135 for cleaning and $300 for partially repainting two walls (due to slight discoloration from where two pieces furniture sat for a year - we occasionally burned candles - and two small scuff marks) Repainting is not mentioned in the lease under charges in regards to move out. They are also telling us that they don’t usually clean or hire cleaners after a tenant moves out and that’s why they’re charging us. We cleaned when we left and forgot two appliances that were undamaged but used regularly. Our tenant portal, on the other hand, stated the repainting fee was only $85, with no mention of a cleaning fee. In that case, they owe us. We have tried to communicate with them nicely about these discrepancies - our first email went unanswered for 11 days, until we called them and reached someone that way. I still have not received a response on why the charges listed separately differ from one another. I will say, the apartments themselves are spacious, albeit a bit dated. The place has promise, but with everything we went through we were happy to leave.Read MoreReview from Apartments.com
Renter beware
June 23, 2022First off let me say that the location is perfect and the apartments are great. The staff is very nice. I have been here what will be two years in November. During my time here, the only issue I’ve had is my upstairs neighbor. They have younger boys who are left unattended. Most nights I’m awakened between midnight and 4 by constant noise; running, jumping and large thuds. To date complaints have fell on deaf ears. I’ve been directed by management to call police, which I reluctantly did, and they ...referred me back to management. At the direction of my lawyer, I documented the issues and asked for a release from my lease, which they denied. I’m stuck here until November when I can look for something different. I love everything about this place, but at 54, I need more than 3-4 hours of sleep each night. If you are like me, I suggest finding someplace else to rent.Read MoreReview from Apartments.com

November 6, 2021The staff here have been amazing - helpful, patient, informative - from the apartment hunting stage to living here as a tenant. The apartments are really nice, laid out well, and so far easy to heat/cool.Review from Apartments.com

Amazing Staff!
July 2, 2020Unbelievable Staff and Management team. Renee and Justin respond almost immediately to questions and concerns. They treat people respectfully and honestly. Attention to detail and face to face response to concerns is unlike anywhere I've ever heard of. This property is well groomed, well managed and more importantly well liked. It's truly home to those of us who live here. Having that personal connection to staff, knowing you matter as a resident is a feeling of comfort and relief, just ...knowing how respected you are. Thanks so much for making my new apartment my happy place, I'm proud to call home!Read MoreReview from Apartments.com
Wonderful living environment!!
May 17, 2018My family and I are about to complete a year in June here at Sterling Pointe, we could not be happier with the choice that we made! It is a very quiet and calm environment around the complex, neighbors are friendly and very respectful especially when it comes to the quiet time hours. Management is very friendly always there to help and answer any questions or concerns that may arise, you always see them on site walking around making sure the area is maintained, they are good about checking ...filters every few months and just making sure the residents are taking care of the apartments. My kids love the playground area being able to play and see their friends from school and around the neighborhood! Sterling Pointe is close to the schools and within walking distance to other parks around the area which is great to get the kids out in the evening to take walks. We just signed up for another year and are looking forward to a great year here!Read MoreReview from Apartments.com
Great Location, Wonderful Apartment
March 12, 2018My husband and I moved into a 2 bedroom 2 bath apartment at Sterling Pointe last September and we Love it! The management have been so helpful and nothing is too much trouble. We use the exercise room regularly and find that it is so convenient to be able to just walk there. A garage is included and has been a great blessing this winter. ....Pam R.Review from Apartments.com
Great place for family living
June 6, 2017Ive been living here for about 6 months and so far the neighbors are respectful there is plenty of kids for your family play with. The apartments are very well put together. Parking does suck at times but you find that with just about any apartment complex. I will be staying after my lease is up.Review from Apartments.com
