Ok here we go Acero, we wanted to love living here but we didn't. And if you want to hear why get some popcorn because this is going to be a long one.
We lived at Acero 2021-2022 and all I want to say is that we counted the days to move out. We have never wanted to leave an apartment so bad. If I could give this apartment zero starts I would.
There must be something suspicious going on with whatever company owns the property, because in the year that we were there, the management team switched out 3 different times. It was always a strange surprise to see random new faces working in the front office when passing by. But that still doesn't say anything about the community itself. So let's get into it.
First of all you can hear everything. All your neigbors. I heard neigbors having sex in the other apartment which I didn't love to hear.
We lived right in front of the pool and I could never have my windows open at night because it is always a party, people bring their speakers and play loud music at 12am, or leave the community TVs on high volume, but yet we were getting complaints that it was loud in my apartment at night from 10pm to 6am (We sleep at that time and there could never be noise because we have little children that sleep on schedule) The Managment would just send us a legal notice of being loud for no reason and yet when I would go talk to them and try to decide what can be done about this they would just say "I don't know."
If you have kids you should avoid this place. They are not kid friendly at all. One evening at 7pm my child was just talking to his friend from our balcony and the security guard was passing by and said "hey keep it quiet" what? He was just talking, yet they don't do anything about loud music at 12am at night that last all night long and people being loud. But my child "speaks too loud" at 7pm. That's just ridiculous.
This is not to say that having a guard on patrol is a regular occurrence, oh no. After this, and a few days later, the patrol mysteriously disappeared and we didn't see another one around till 5 months later.
The "community building" events that they throw for residents are a joke, and nobody shows up ever because nobody wants to be there, that's just a joke.
One thing I can say though, is that I've definitely gotten my cricket catching skills up to quite an impressive level now. No matter what side of the property, or what floor you live on, you can expect to have some chirping guests visit you a few times a week.
And forget about your deposit because they will take all your money. They wanted to charge us an extra $800 for "wear and tear" and our initial deposit was $500 already so our move out cost would be $1300 which is just crazy. We had to fight it over with them and keep sending emails. Eventually they lowered the extra charge BUT still charged us and as I said of course forget about your deposit here. Mind you every other apartment that we've lived at returned our full deposit, so that says something about Acero. All they want is your money.
I would say stay away, keep your money and your sanity. And I will go relax at my new community that I love so much more. read more
