Not worth it.
December 27, 2022Well the plus about this place is that there were no bugs inside, they have quarterly pest control. The negatives… I lived there for 2 years, waited until after I left to write this, otherwise they would have nickel and dimed me for everything! I saw a steady decline with each new office manager, the first one was rarely there, 2nd was kind and personable but the last one is cold hearted and loved to threaten everyone then blame her bosses. Leasing agents have always been kind, I feel bad for ...them and the position they are in. Maintenance is non existent, things like doors falling apart, paint peeling, wasps nests in your porch, holes in the tubs and sun shining through the front door where there shouldn’t be. You’ll put in work orders and they’ll get closed out without anyone coming, they tell you that they have the owners coming so they have to close out work orders to make it look like they are doing their job. They have a pile of old trash old furniture that they built a fence around instead of cleaning up. The “new trash service” maybe collected trash once a week if you were lucky. They allowed pedophiles and drug dealers move in recently. They’ll tell you they do background checks, but then shoot them selves in the foot when they send out emails saying, “it’s been brought to our attention of the increased drug activity on property and it won’t be tolerated” . Water was constantly shut off with no notice, there was an entire week without hot water at all. The pool was green & nasty the last year. And can we talk about the dog poo everywhere, pet owners weren’t cleaning up after their pets & when we turned them in with photo evidence like were told it was brushed off. It wasn’t like this the first year, once FPI took over that’s when everything went downhill drasticallyProperty Manager Responded

Not Great, Not Horrible
April 2, 2021The units are dated. When they say they “renovated”, it only means they refinished the countertops and painted the cabinets. They did not repair or replace them. I would not recommend spending more money on a so called renovated unit. Overall, the apartments are clean, minus the ridiculous amount of dust in the air vents. The staff is very friendly and the maintenance guys are helpful. They are also a little shady. Meaning they charge you extra for trash, gas (even if you do not have ...anything that uses gas inside the apartment), and water. Now water I get, however the way they break down the charge has nothing to do with the amount of water you personally use, but they charge you one fee for the square footage of the apartment and then charge a different amount for number of people living in the apartment. Basically, they take the total usage for the complex and break into unit bills based off of square footage and personnel residing in the unit, not based of your individual usage. It is a relatively quiet complex, the loudest noise is water running through the pipes, you will definitely know what kind of shower schedule your neighbors are on. Overall it isn’t a horrible place, but I am sure there are better properties available.Read MoreReview from Apartments.com
Who needs water?
January 12, 2021The property itself isn't awful although they have a problem with tenants not picking up after their animals. The dog park is basically where they let their dogs out to poop, not that the grounds are much better. Plus they have units that are upgraded and those that aren't so keep that in mind when they show the sample unit. They regularly shut off the water. In the past year and a half we've lived here it has gotten so bad that the occurrence is at least once a month. Last month it happened four ...times and two of those were all day long. We have had other issues with them because of new management. It's hard to get ahold of them via phone. I have had them not respond to emails as well. They get a little tow crazy now that they require parking permits for open parking. We have had our cars towed twice in the past 5 months since they implemented it. I wouldn't recommend this complex to other people and will not be renewing at the end of my lease.Read MoreReview from Apartments.com
New management!
August 25, 2020I wanted to state that the New Management and Owners have gone above and beyond for our community and the Residents! Every day my home becomes more beautiful! The updates are nice, and I'm truly glad the Paw Park is here now! Thank you guys for all that you have done! You don't go unappreciated!Review from Apartments.com
So HAPPY NOW! Great Place
December 21, 2018I'm so happy with the NEW MANAGEMENT! They are really making this apartment complex feel like a home. They have finally fixed all the issues with the hot water. They are upgrading everything and it looks great. They are getting everyone together with functions they throw for us. I've had breakfast/pizza/food trucks with the new management. I'm just so happy!Review from Apartments.com

Would not recommend to anyone.
October 17, 2018Since I have lived here, the management company has changed hands multiple times. I haven't gone one month without having my water shut off for days at a time or not having hot water for days even a week at a time. I currently am on day 5 without hot water and still nothing. They claim they are working to fix the problems and leave little notices on the door, but that is only after you personally go up to the office and rip them a new one. Definitely the worst managed property I have lived ...at, and that is saying something. Besides all of this, here are some other things to note: 1. Window seals and sliding door seals are all bad, hot and cold air leak easily through the gaps so expect certain rooms to be really cold/hot and others to be normal temperature. Wasted electricity with all that air just flowing out the cracks. 2. Poor water pressure. Even with a shower head I purchased to increase my water pressure, it still just barely flows out. You literally have to stand right under the faucet to rinse off. 3. Do you like living in the jungle? Well, sometimes the property goes weeks without landscaping. 4. Have you ever seen a green pool? I would say the pool was out of service more times than you could use it. They let the water get to a forest green dark color at one point before actually fixing it. There were mosquitos everywhere. 5. Do you have a dog? Doesn't matter. People are already lazy, but throw in not refilling the dog poop bags for over a month, well good luck not stepping in crap. It took a whole month to order poop bags that cost $10 or $15 dollars. Real classy there. 6. No drop box for rent. Tough month at work? Need to pay your rent after hours because you had to scrape the money together? Well good luck, they refuse to put a drop box out front for rent so now you get to pay a $75 late fee for paying the next morning. $75 and they still get all their money. 7. Do you have a nice car? Well, you better put a wheel lock on it with bulletproof windows. Vehicle theft and robbery is a huge problem on the premises. So, if it isn't abundantly clear how this property charges you for services not rendered, I hope this helps you in your search for a safe, friendly, and reliable place to live. If you have a family I would never recommend moving here. 5 days without hot water for your kids is absolutely unacceptable, not to mention, no foreseeable compensation for not providing amenities. Happy home hunting!Property Manager Responded
November 5, 2018We apologize for the inconveniences you may have experienced with previous management. However, The Retreat is under NEW management and we are working diligently and thoroughly to get the property back on track and taken care of. The water heater is officially repaired and the property should no longer have the hot water issues it has been having over the years. Please have patience with us, we care deeply about our residents! Thank you.

Outstanding Place With Friendly Staff and Nice Neighbors
January 16, 2018My husband and I moved into our apartment in the middle of October. Before we moved in, we were asked to inspect the apartment to document any damage so we wouldn't be held responsible for it. Maintenance fixed some of the problems we listed on our inspection report before we moved in. Other issues were fixed as soon after I reported them as was humanly possible. We've had to wait to have our dishwasher placed, but that's not the fault of management here or maintenance. The apartment we live in ...is comfortable and spacious. My neighbors are friendly and helpful and show me the ropes whenever there is something I don't know about or how to fix. The management is super friendly and extremely accommodating - a welcome change from the place where we used to live. I love the fact that both of our bathrooms have linen closets, and the kitchen has a big pantry. The cabinets in the kitchen are made of solid wood -- not cheap MDF or particle board. I have a huge patio where I have the flexibility to do what I want. I can even plant stuff in the ground around my apartment to spruce up the area. The Retreat is in a quiet residential neighborhood. The grounds are attractive, and the amenities are fantastic. The fitness center has the high-quality equipment, and although it's open 24/7, it's a safe place because it's only accessible to people who have a key. The only negative is that you have to have a car to get around if you live here, and Temple's bus system exists in theory, but not so much in practice. We're thrilled to be living in a bright and spacious apartment with plenty of useful storage. We never have a problem finding a parking space in front of our apartment. If there is a special going, don't pass it up!Read MoreReview from Apartments.com

Ratings are on scale of 1 (below average) and to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider needs as part of the school selection process.
