UNSAFE
July 27, 2026 - Review from Apartments.com
IF YOU READ NOTHING ELSE… THIS PLACE IS NOT SAFE.
Lipstick on a pig - don’t let the aesthetic of the building fool you.
I could say a lot about this place, but if you read nothing else, know this: if safety is important to you, look elsewhere.
During our time here, the building became increasingly unsafe. It became normal to find people hanging out in the exits and common areas, openly using drugs and leaving behind drug paraphernalia. There were multiple break-ins while we lived here, yet ...
nothing ever seemed to change. You shouldn’t have to walk past people getting high just to get in or out of your apartment. Cops had to be called several times. One time they even started a fire in the doorway. I’ve attached photos documenting many of these issues so you can judge for yourself.
Management wasn’t much better.
Communication was inconsistent, concerns were brushed aside, and it often felt like management was more interested in looking for reasons to blame residents than actually solving problems. When we received a notice that our lease wasn’t being renewed, I asked Julie why. That’s when she casually mentioned she thought she had smelled marijuana coming from our apartment.
That accusation was completely false. It had never been brought up with us before, there was no warning, and there was no documentation. Then, after we pushed back, the non-renewal was suddenly reversed because she had “failed to document it.” It’s hard to have confidence in management when something as important as whether you get to keep your home seems to come down to undocumented assumptions.
The move-out process was more of the same. We followed their instructions, yet they later tried to rely on issues they had never properly documented before. The communication around our security deposit was also frustrating. After the statutory deadline had effectively passed, we received an email saying they were still waiting on invoices.
At the end of the day, I don’t expect perfection from an apartment building. I do expect it to be safe, and I expect management to be fair and professional. Unfortunately, Vintage fell short on both. I can’t recommend living here. Trust me for what you’ll pay you can find something much safer and more professionally managed.
