The experience of living in this place has been a total disaster…read more 1. This place is located in a flood-prone area. In the first month after I moved in, my car got flooded and totaled in the parking garage. The leasing office had never mentioned the possibility of this happening. 2. The leasing office treats their tenants poorly. On one occasion, when my friend came to visit, I went to the leasing office to ask for a visitor parking sticker. The sticker was just a plastic paper, and nothing more. Unfortunately, my friend left with that sticker and threw it away during cleaning. I thought it was no big deal, as it was just a plastic paper sticker. However, the leasing office charged me $100 for losing the sticker, a mere plastic paper sticker. 3. This one is the most ridiculous incident. As our lease was about to end, we notified the leasing office of our plan to move out. They claimed there was a penalty of $4500 because we notified them too late. Supposedly, we were supposed to inform them one month before we wanted to move out. They gave us two options: 1) pay the $4500 penalty, or 2) renew our lease. After checking our contract, I found no terms stating that we needed to notify them one month earlier. I firmly refused their demands, and they threatened me, saying a lawyer would contact me soon, urging me to make a decision before it's too late. I challenged them to go ahead and sue me. Interestingly, later that same afternoon, they called and informed me they would waive the penalty as long as I wrote a positive Google review. They attempted to scam me, but realizing it wouldn't work. This property is truly a blood-sucking business. 住在这个公寓的经历就是离谱的糟心 有无数个糟心的经历 我简要的讲三个最离谱 1，这个公寓在洪水区，我搬家的第一个月我的车在车库就被淹了，直接报废。leasing Office 从来没有提过有这个可能性。 2，有一次朋友来找我玩， 我找leasing office 要一个sticker这样可以停在visitor parking。结果我朋友开着车直接走了 然后把那个sticker搞没了。就一张塑料纸片，我想扔就扔了吧。结果leasing office 直接说要从我房租里多扣100刀。md 一个破塑料纸扣老子100刀，神经病啊。 3，最离谱的就是这个，我10月底房子到期 我10月初跟leasing office讲我要搬家，他们直接说要交4500刀罚款因为我通知的太晚了 我应该1个月之前通知。我直接就回去看合同 根本没看到有这个条款。紧接着他们就和我打电话说要让律师联系我了以后，我说你来告我吧 随便你。当天上午打完这个电话 下午就打电话回来给我说他们放我一马，说我只要给他们写一个goole review的好评就行，mlgb这群sb 他们就看诈骗不到我，然后说放我一马 我直接气笑了。 总之这个公寓就是有毒，一定避雷。

First of all, don't be fooled by all the good reviews in 2021. There were actually several…read more"contests" that were held from June onwards for reviews for prizes to boost their past rating. Honestly, this place is OK if you want to worry about your car being damaged and being submerge under water during rainy/hurricane season. Or having the fire alarm constantly go off. Or having to step in dog poop every few days. Or having the sprinklers broken, leaving your doorway soaking wet and stinking of mold and being a health hazard. Your car parking spots would be taken up by random cars from the public (esp if you're parking on the top deck). Hallways are not camera monitored, so you'll probably end up finding dog poop at 8am in the morning while you walk to the nearest elevator and there's nothing management can do about it. Let's see what else? Your neighbors can be inconsiderate and the walls are paper thin. Garage doors actually never works, (but you wont know this until you're already deep 2 months into your rent and you constantly see everyone complaining and management does nothing) & there have been a lot of thefts. Garage panels are caving and falling in. The side doors (by the parking deck) do not lock, so anyone can come in. You pay trash fees, but you got to constantly bring your boxes down to the trash area? Not a big deal, but I am saying you're going to pay money for something that does not make sense, Plaza square used to be great prior to Covid, but boy are we glad to move further away to the city and pay more to experience nothing of the above! The only great thing about plaza is their OG maintenance crew. Over the past 2.5 years, we've made at least 30 friends (those kind where you actually have their numbers) in the community, there's only 7 who is currently living there now due to the increasing number of issues happening within the apartment complex. Also heard (and was verified by a few current tenants) that new management lacks communication with their tenants. There was no communication/updates about the recent water pipe burst that damaged over 30 apartments and the garage. That said, we don't care if they increase the rent, but why are we paying for the same things year after year and the building 's integrity is turning for the worse?

Every sidewalk is covered in thick ice without traces of salt. Many shared videos and statements going around between the neighbors. We were told in an email that we are NOT allowed to do this on our own and must allow their company to do it. Unsafe, especially for those disabled, elderly, or pregnant. The company is more worried about the use of the back gate than actual resident safety. For us this is not a 9-5, this is our HOME (video and pictures available if you reach out)

I have a relative who has lived there for a few years. My review is to address the situation with…read moregarbage and recycling. This picture sums up what it's like. The cans fill up quickly and they are only emptied once per week (mostly). Imagine if people were coming to visit you and this was the view as they enter. Something needs to be done. Most of the stuff in the recycle bin is not recyclable, and not collapsed or folded. The garbage is overflowing and the flies...OMG the flies. Someone is going to get sick if one of these flies gets into their home and unknowingly touches their food. This is just disgusting and completely unacceptable. And this is every week. Rent has increased close to $400 dollars in the last five years, but services are less. Rather than increase pick-up to twice a week, they let this continue. Part of the problem is the tenants, but complex this big should have the trash picked up twice per week. The people who work there don't live there, so they don't care. If you can afford the extra $, chose Tanglewood or Ridgedale, both are super clean. If my relative could afford to move they would. However, I think appropriately timed garbage pick up should not require an additional $400-$500/month in rent.

My worst experience was with Plesantview. Carlton Club Apt Pros : I had great / quiet neighbors. I never really had any maintenance issues. Once, the central air broke, and the 2-3 other times they just needed to replace the air filters. Maintenance always resolved the issues but usually not within the same day. For the central air it took them a bit longer because they had to hire a professional. Upon move out, they were fair. They charged me for the items I should have paid for (not cleaning stove and a door I busted up) and nothing else. Cons: No dishwasher / No in home laundry. Maintenence is good but my best Maintenance experience was with Royal Gardens. Overall, GREAT place to stay if you don't mind doing the dishes and going to the laundry mat. I only moved out because my fiancee's lease expired later than mine.
