Poor build, mice, millipedes, sewer water, walls cracks (bigger than settling cracks), paper thin walls, no quiet hours, sunken in toilet, high maintenance turnover, and empty promises from management.
My boyfriend and I lived here for a year so you wouldn't have to and it was easily the worst living experience nightmare we've ever lived in. The issues never ended just like this review.
The plumbing was done incorrectly per a professional plumbing company which causes sewer water to back up into our laundry room, master bathroom, kitchen, and living room. Allora refused to replace any flooring or drywall. They did eventually fix the failed plumbing after an entire month. A construction manager had to buy a mop with his own money to clean our floors as Allora's maintenance workers shrugged their shoulders and left us on our own. Our guest toilet was sunken so low into the ground the construction workers said they have no idea how to even passed code for us to move in.
We next had mice in the walls which Allora offered to have a professional service come out two weeks after we notified them which "is the best they could do" as there were already with professional grade traps outside. We found the hole the mice had chewed to gain entry and opened a maintenance ticket which was never fixed even upon move out. We had +500 millipedes coming in from multiple places including the front door and through the floorboards of every room. Even though pest control comes weekly they cannot contain the pest infestation. Our flooring in the kitchen and living room was also seeping / bubbling up water.
My boyfriend and I moved in January and Management promised our dog yard would be completed by end February. It was actually completed by November when it was snowing. The walls are paper thin and there are no quiet hours. Literally sounds like people are in your apartment with you at all hours.
Allora had to special order our fridge filters, fridge air filters and HVAC filters as they didn't have any on site. There's no regular maintenance standard or replacing any of these filters probably because the turnover is so high for maintenance workers as this is the 5th employee. Theres also high turnover in the leasing offices they've been through 3 leasing managers since we've signed the lease. So you truly never feel like you're gaining traction on any outstanding issues.
Literally every week it's a new issue. Allora is severely overpriced for all the non stop issues which makes the place never feel like home.
I agree with the reviewer below, Sarah, that +3 total reviews that are 5 star reviews were left by employees / affiliates of Allora. read more
