Constant break ins into apartments (and the main office) and burglaries into cars and cat. converters. security only shows up when there’s a break in for a week then they’re never seen until you call them, so pretty useless.

Dog mess everywhere in spite of having a full-time porter to pick it up. She can’t keep up with it. It used to be a quiet place. Now there is constant music thumping from the parking lots day and night. The place is old and falling apart. Maintenance does their best, but it is a futile endeavor. Seriously consider nearby alternatives.

Pool has been closed for a year. Nobody knows when it will reopen. Security disappeared. Management lies.

The property looks great and is located in a great neighborhood with malls, restaurants, shops, parks, and a library all in walking distance. I enjoyed living here due to its accessibility to the bus line and shopping centers. Although the area looked great I quickly realized that looks can be very deceiving. I lived in this complex for 2 years and had pest problems from day one (literally my first night in the apartment I reported ants in my kitchen to the property). At a point the issue got so... bad that I could not use my kitchen for 5 weeks for fear of aggravating the problem. I literally had ants crawling up the kitchen walls. At one point the only way pest control could deter the issue was by spreading bug poison throughout my kitchen. I could not do anything but store food in the fridge. The managers who I emailed regarding this issue were slow to react and unsympathetic to this reoccurring pest issue. I called the management company and left several messages about the issue and never received one follow up call. Not 1 penny of my rent was reimbursed to me for this pre-existing problem even after being unable to use my kitchen for 5 weeks. Although the property looks good externally it is old and not well cared for. I've had neighbors tell me they had the same pest issues. I mention all this to express how the management treats and reacts to its residents. I moved out and am in an amazing new apartment for $100 more than the price of this apartment. The extra money doesn't bother me as the peace of mind is priceless! If you're apartment hunting and desperate for a place and choose this one I wouldn't recommend signing a long term lease as there are better maintained apartments in the area for the same price or cheaper. Happy hunting! Read More

There is an epidemic of robberies going on here. 19 from September 1st to mid October. I myself was robbed.

Management won't inform residents. I know that if I was informed that there had been 18 robberies in the past month or so, I would have got a security system and extra locks. These things almost certainly would have prevented me from being burglarized. I'm sure that if other victims were informed, they too would have taken steps to prevent the burglaries from occurring.

Residents have... been begging management to install security cameras so that we could end all of these burglaries. Management continues to claim that they are "looking in to it". It has been almost two months, and we still have zero security cameras in our complex. They won't even get one or two to put at the gates.

Residents are all furious about the way Griffis has dealt with the epidemic of crime we're currently having.

Update: I have asked management a bunch of questions regarding everything I've talked about in this review. It has been over a month, and I am still waiting for a response, despite multiple reminders. It certainly feels like they are avoiding me.

Recently there was a police chase that happened right inside our complex (and in front of me as I was relaxing by the pool Monday morning). The person being chased was dangerous and had a knife. Helicopters and police dogs were involved. And all of this has happened while the Mandalay Bay massacre is fresh in everyone's minds. This is a sensitive period of time as far as safety goes, and I feel uncomfortable with the way Griffis's management handles safety. Read More
