**Roaches**: The very first month that I moved into the Avenue, I should have realized I was going to have problems because I had roaches pop up within that first week. It was a mix of German and American Roaches and every now and then, a cockroach the size of your thumb. And that is no exaggeration. By the time I left the apartment complex, it was extremely common to find roaches crawling on the walls, in the cabinets, in the dishwasher, in the bathtub, and just everywhere. I had been on the... list for pest control for at least 3/4ths of the time I was there because it was constant. It had gotten to the point where the pest control person told me that I couldn't request it every week because the bugs would become immune to it and maintenance said that honestly, there was nothing they could do about the bugs because they could be coming from the other neighbors (by that time, I was believing that they were coming from inside the wall because I caught them coming in through the vents); essentially, I was told I was going to have to live them them. It was a total nightmare and thanks to that experience, I now suffer from PTSD from the entire experience.

**Apartment/Complex Area**: My apartment wasn’t move-in ready when I first arrived. The master bedroom had a hole in the floor that had been covered by carpet that my foot fully sank into and my bathtub had moldy black grout on it. The floors were uneven, the mirror damage, cabinet drawers wouldn’t work well, doors wouldn’t fully close, holes that were poorly covered, leaks, and an oven that you couldn’t set above 400 degrees without tripping the fuse box among other things.

Front door has huge holes in it let’s the bugs right in. Sooo many roaches everywhere. Coming out the drain when u shower, and everywhere else. Management is horrible. They never answer the phone and take forever to fix things . They lose money then suddenly find it. Police walking by the window flashing lights in our windows in the middle of the night. No type of security our car keeps getting broken into. Dog poop everywhere. No washer and dryer hookups! Told us we couldn’t see our apartment... because they were putting our washer and dryer in we move in and there’s no washer and dryer ! It’s cheap here but you get what you pay for. This is a very last red type of thing Read More

Lived here for 2 year with both old and new management. A lot of other residents smoking weed, leaving the dogs poop all on the ground, the gunshots and the fight that broke out at the pool that resulted in the gate being broken and blood on the concrete. Not to mention, yea we live in apartments, I you will hear other residents, but I shouldn't be able to feel when they close their front door because the walls are that thin and sensitive. There's a HUGE gnat problem, but I was able to manage,... outside during the summer there's so many roaches because of all the trash that be outside. The gunshots and violence that goes on is crazy lmao. There's over 60 3 floor buildings, you're lucky if maintenance can swing by. Upon moving in most of my appliances needed to be replaced because of the pipes being trash and upstairs neighbors kept clogging their pipes. It's not worth the headache Read More

When I first moved in here I thought it was a genuine nice places… but maintenance took forever for even the simplest stuff Ex. Dishwasher and garbage disposal… they take 3 WEEKS to even come to your apartment, best believe my apartment stank thanks to them not showing up no matter how much I’d beg :
I had this happen 3 times already…

My AC DOESN’T WORK thankfully I actually had a caring maintenance guy and he told me I needed a new AC unit, he DID in fact put a request in to replace it cause... air was leaking…. You think they have replaced that AC???? Haha. No. It’s been 2 years

OH ALSO not to mention the shoot outs every month, Management doesn’t care. I talked to a police officer the one time there was a shoot out NEAR US and he admitted that a homicide was committed across to the other side of the complex. I don’t feel safe here at all. I hate it and then they want to move rent up???? It’s not worth the money at all.

Also no washer and dryer connections. It’s a lie cause I specifically asked for an apartment with one and they didn’t give it to me. After me living here for 2 years please take my word for it. Don’t do it. Management has go e through at least 7 different management companies in these last year. Don’t bother.

Oh and they blamed me for there painted over tubs peeling, they repainted it and it started peeling again even if I didn’t use bleach and I let them know that they need to come back and do it again but you think they respond??? Ha no.

Not Luxury in anyway. I mean if having no AC and shoot outs every month is luxury? I don’t want it. Read More

I love my actual unit. Very spacious and big bedrooms which is great. But maintenance and management are sub par to say the LEAST. Where do I even begin? The first thing I noticed about my unit was that the front door had clearly been kicked in before, and all maintenance had done was paint over the cracks and missing wood pieces to cover it up, didn’t replace anything. Over time I began to notice how poorly this place had been renovated. The faucet on my sink wasn’t sealed to the sink, so... the entire faucet moves when you turn it on and also sprays water everywhere if you turn too far to one side. Half the kitchen drawers are broken. Our dishwasher leaks, and it took maintenance a week to come out and “fix it” when we were told they would be coming later on the same day we went to the office to report the issue. Even after they “fixed it” it still leaks. The fridge leaks water on the inside and ruins anything that isn’t in a plastic or glass container. The bug problem is out of hand, even though we pay for pest control every month as part of the rent. Spiders, roaches, stink bugs, crickets, you name it. Parking is horrible, we work second shift so trying to find a parking spot that late at night is like finding a needle in a haystack, on WEEKNIGHTS. Forget about the weekends. My car was broken into a few months back, along with a string of others around the complex, and finally after enough people had this happen to them, the complex finally sent out an email that they would be putting up cameras around the complex. This has yet to happen. The trash valet people don’t use the trash compactor properly, so there’s mountains of trash outside dumpster every week until the big dump truck comes to collect all the trash, not a good look at all. Twice in less than 3 months has the water main for the entire complex been shut off, with management only giving residents about 2 HOURS NOTICE. The second shutoff is currently happening as I write this review. Management told residents that the water would be back on at 2pm YESTERDAY. It’s 7am the next day and the water is STILL NOT ON. It’s almost 24 hours that the water has been shut off. I’m sorry but how can the people in management go home with sound minds knowing their residents have been and remain without running water for almost a full day??!! Consider that question before moving here. Thank GOD we are moving out of here at the end of this month. Read More
