Don’t live here.

March 9, 2026 - Review from Apartments.com
My fiancé and I lived here for a year. Our apartment itself was newly renovated when we moved in. New floors and fresh paint. However, my whole kitchen sink fell out of the actual counter twice and maintenance was a pain in the side trying to get them to fix it in a timely manner. Water pressure was very poor and my showerhead was zip tied on when we moved in. The neighborhood is not safe. There are constantly shootings next to the packed Kirklevington park. Definitely not a safe place for ...
children despite an elementary school being not even half a mile down the road. There was not a single week that went by where a shooting wasn’t reported less than 3 miles away on my Ring camera neighborhood. The people that live there already do not have common courtesy or respect for others that are also apartment living. They don’t pick up pet waste. Garbage is frequently left in the lobby for the apartments and mine always smelled of cigarettes or marijuana. Children often run wild in the lobbies during quiet hours and in the parking lot unattended to. I have almost hit a child several times because of this. I did find many roaches and reported it. They always did spray when reported so they say. The people in the front lobby are super nice and respectful but the property itself needs a lot of work

don’t rent here

March 2, 2026 - Review from Apartments.com
I am a current resident and have been living here for over four months, and it has been a nightmare. First of all, you can hear everything your neighbors do — the apartments have no soundproofing at all. People smoke in the hallways and management does nothing about it. The bathrooms clog all the time, and maintenance can never properly fix the issues. On top of that, whenever maintenance comes in while you’re not home, they use your personal items and leave a mess behind. Keep in mind that they ...
charge a monthly maintenance fee, yet the problems never get resolved. Parking is another major issue. If you don’t get home early, you can’t find parking near your building and end up parking three buildings away. There is dog waste everywhere, and during snow days, they don’t salt or clear the snow until two days later. Overall, this has been a very disappointing and frustrating experience.

Customer service

October 25, 2025 - Review from Apartments.com
I’m really disappointed with the customer service! Their representative yelled at us and didn’t let us in for a scheduled tour, I’m glad that we figured that out before we decided to sign any papers!

BEWARE OF BAIT AND SWITCH

May 16, 2022 - Review from Apartments.com
If I could have gave ZERO!!! I came here in April to rent an apartment. I was shown the model and I was told that my apartment would look just like the model. I asked if the doors, countertops, kitchen cabinets closet doors wound all be the same. I was assured that everything down to new carpet in bedrooms would be replaced. I explained that I couldn’t move until May 15, she said that was no problem. I apply and paid the $200 to hold the apartment. I was approved and then received a email that I ...
had to sign the lease before 10 days of lease being produced or pay another $50. This was April 27 and I was not moving in until May 14 nor have I seen the apartment I am renting only a model. I told her I wanted to see the apartment before I sign lease. She said oh it looks just like the model I showed you, no worries. Someone is still living in the unit until first of the month. On Thursday May 12th I came to office with a check and asked to see or could I get the keys earlier to the unit. I was told they were not finished fixing, and cleaning. I had to wait until Saturday 14th my move in date. On Saturday morning at 10am when office open I was to pick up keys. I was still at Uhaul picking up my truck. She calls me at 10:10am asking when I was coming to pick up my keys. That she wasn’t going to be in office all day and was leaving. I told her that I’m on my way. I get keys and she makes me sign a BLANK move in checklist without seeing the unit. Which at first I refused to sign but she wouldn’t give me the keys otherwise. I get keys and go in smh the bedroom carpets are wet, the doors are not same and have holes, chipped paint, there’s pet hair everywhere, yellow stains on baseboards and doors frames from pet urine. The cabinets in kitchen are damaged, have holes, don’t match, won’t close all the way. The dishwasher isn’t mounted in and fell out on me. The stove is filthy with used drip pans, pet hair stuck to bottom. The closet doors are scratched, dented, chipped and pet hair was painted to most of them. The outlets won’t hold plugs. The bathrooms don’t have safety outlets. The tub and toilet are slow draining and clogged. There’s yellow stains in and cat litter in bathroom closet. I stopped my movers and moved my bed and some boxes, clothes, and bathroom cabinet in, no furniture. I couldn’t get on the wifi and when I called Spectrum told me that the last resident is still in ResidentPortal. I took pictures and went to lease office. No one called me, or came

Beautiful facility and even better staff!!

March 7, 2020 - Review from Apartments.com
I’m so impressed by this place!! Apartments are gorgeous and wonderfully laid out and don’t even get me started on their amenities! I can’t wait to end my nights in the zen room :) Cant forget to mention the wonderful management team! So kind and informative, you can tell they love their jobs.

Come here if you like being ripped off!

October 20, 2019 - Review from Apartments.com
*Supposed to get cable in October - “Gotta postpone till MARCH” * Something messes up in apartment or building that SHOULDN’T be ignored -“Oh no, we’ll send someone right out!” (Weeks late) * Adds washer/dryer hookups in a small closet -“Enjoy this toxic smell of horrible STRONG glue, without any accommodation to go somewhere else!”

New owners, same nonsense

July 22, 2019 - Review from Apartments.com
AC went out for the third time since I have lived here. Called the office at 3pm to report the issue. Said someone would come right out. Called again right before 5pm and another worker told me the issue hadn’t been reported. Tried to call maintenance, who didn’t answer (way to go 24 hour maintenance availability ). Left me on hold and only could tell me she would keep calling maintenance. These new owners are not what they said they would be. Very disappointed.

RIP off!!

June 26, 2019 - Review from Apartments.com
This place just got new owners and even though they are remodeling the place it's a Rip off. Use caution because whatever your rent is add anywhere from $50 to $100 per month as they make you pay for water, garbage, pest control and admin fees. Seriously go else where I'm outta here when my lease is up.

Clogged bathroom sink over 2 weeks

March 15, 2019 - Review from Apartments.com
My apartment bathroom sink is always stopping up this is the 4th time I’ve had to call and have them come unclog the drain this year! I called almost 2 weeks ago and my sinks are still clogged I went to the leasing office 2 days ago and asked them why no one has came out. But I see plenty of people out working and renovating the new apartments EVERYDAY as if they don’t care about the older ones. It’s sad I can’t even use my bathroom sink as I should!

Great place, so so area

July 23, 2015 - Review from Apartments.com
I have lived here for 3 years and I have to say its the best apartment I have lived in. The landlord owns several of the units and personally takes care of most maintenance issues. If he cant resolve it he will find someone that can within a couple days. I even drop my rent at his personal home. The only thing that I have to complain about is the area, its a lower income area surrounding it, but the apartments are private and much nicer. Its loud due to its proximity to the road and a bus stop. ...
All new appliances, very nice cabinets, great layout, great landlord. The only reason I am moving is that I no longer need a 2 bedroom place.

Good size Very Poor Landlord

Pros Big apartment Good neighborhood Low cost Cons Landlords don't take care of property Things stay broke

Fantastic Place

August 2, 2015 - Review from Apartments.com
I've only lived here for about a month and I could not be happier with my choice. The community is quite and well kept up. I had an issue with my doorknob and the office staff got it fixed for me within 15 minutes of me telling them about the issue. For the price, you won't find a better deal. The price attracted me to this community and it has not disappointed. The office and maintenance staff are helpful and friendly. If you are looking for a reasonably priced place to live in Lexington, you ...
should check out Lighthouse Square before you make your final decision!
