I figured since there's a raffle for an "honest review," I'd give Prairie Chase exactly that.
If you're looking for excitement, you've found it. Who needs peace and quiet when you can enjoy late-night fireworks, communication that keeps you guessing, and management that treats responding to emails like it's an optional side quest?
In my experience, most of the issues really started with the new management. Since then, it seems like simple problems have become much harder than they need to be, and getting clear communication has felt like a challenge.
Every interaction feels like a surprise. Will someone answer? Will your concerns be addressed? Tune in next week to find out!
On the bright side, living here has taught me patience, lowered my expectations, and given me plenty of stories to tell friends. I came here looking for a place to live and accidentally signed up for an adventure.
Another major issue was our move-in process. We were shown one unit during our tour, signed our lease, and even brought a family member back to show them the apartment we believed we were renting. Later, we realized the unit number on our lease was different from the unit we had been shown.
Two days before our scheduled move-in, we went to the leasing office and asked to see the unit listed on our lease. It was a completely different layout, with the floor plan reversed, and it also had different appliances than the unit we had originally toured. The appliances were a downgrade from what we had been shown.
After we raised our concerns, we were offered a four-bedroom unit instead of the three-bedroom unit we had originally agreed to rent for $1,800 per month. However, this also meant our rent increased to $2,200 per month, and we were required to come up with an additional $400 just two days before our move-in date. It turned what should have been an exciting experience into a stressful and expensive last-minute situation. Not to mention we ask about the unit we toured and one on the street that we liked and was told it was unavailable and the only one on the street that we like was the four bedroom so we had to take that one so we ended up taking it four months later somebody moved into the one that we toured that was supposedly unavailable, but that wasn't true. They just wanted more money.
So yes, this is my honest review. If the raffle is based on honesty instead of positivity, I think I've got a pretty good shot. read more
