Great Place to Live
September 5, 2022 - Review from Apartments.comI've live here for 2.5 years, never had any issues with neighbors, I always see children having fun outside, pretty quiet, the staff has always been kind and professional, and they always fix any issues asap. I'm going to move out soon to move in with my boyfriend and I'm honestly pretty sad to leave.Property Manager Responded
September 9, 2022We are so glad to hear that your experience here at The Gardens at Polaris was 5-star and that we were able to make our community feel like home. We appreciate your loyalty during your time here and we wish you all the best in your future endeavors! Take care!
MOST UNSAFE apartment community in the Polaris area
November 26, 2019 - Review from Apartments.comThis is the MOST UNSAFE apartment community in the Polaris area. Recently there is a series of burglaries happened in this apartment community. Also there were many incidents where cars were damaged and stolen. However, the apartment management is not willing to take any actions on that. PLEASE AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS. I am also planning to leave this place soon.Property Manager Responded
December 3, 2019We want to assure you that safety is our top priority. Our team would like to speak with you, but we cannot locate you in our records as a current nor past resident. We feel this is a mischaracterization of our community and we would love to connect with you about this. Please feel free to drop by our office or give us a call at (614) 781-8220. Thank you.
