My oh my have things changed around here…read more...
This used to be a great place to live, but many things have gone downhill, quickly.
1) The clientele base: It appears that what seemed like stricter policies to apply and reside at Tuckaway has gone out the window to stuff their buildings. And I mean literally stuffed them. At one point we were living above a two-bedroom apartment that occupied AT LEAST 3 adults, and 3 children. How is this even allowed? Imagine the noise! Constant banging (to the point where our walls ABOVE THEM shook), loud music, slamming doors, screaming, etc etc etc. Resident and neighbor quality took a nose-dive, with buildings being much noisier, derelict vehicles parked in the parking lots (some FILLED with junk), people parking like jerks, garbage on the premises, I could go on and on. The neighbors next to us constantly swore and screamed at their small children. Three different units in our building apparently were quite chummy, and constantly congregated in the hall, leaving their doors open and their kids running wild like we were living in some kind of college dorm.Management did nothing besides write notes to these people. Lot of good that did.
2) Speaking of kids, this place has become a daycare/zoo. Kids run rampant in the parking lots. Biking, scootering, running, playing in and around dumpsters and construction... On a daily basis I would nearly hit a small child while driving to or from work, because the residents treat the parking lot like a playground. Someone is going to get killed in these parking lots. I've had kids playing ON and around my car, with their parent standing right there, while their child beat on my bumper. Again, no help from management. "Well do you know what building they are in?" I even called them one time, while the office was open, when at least 6-7 adults and 6 children were just standing in the middle of the parking lot, and said "come on out if you want to see the offending parties" and nothing. Just another note stuck on our mailboxes.
3) The entitled management: Not naming names, but the apartment management really needs to get off of their high-horses. Besides Amber, the rest of the staff consistently made me feel as if I was bothering them, and would flat out ignore you if there was a new applicant present. Not sure about the opinion of anyone reading this, but I would think a long-time, 6 year resident should take priority over a random walk-in. And on top of all that, they would not actually be proactive and FIX any problems, outside of leaving notes on the mailboxes. Yet I would do something absolutely HORRIBLE like leave a garbage bag out in the hall for an hour (eye-roll) or prop the door open WHILE WE WERE MOVING, and I'd get a threatening note left at my door the next day.
4) Tuckaway? Try TAKEAWAY. The last 3 years of living there, we lost a swimming pool, the tennis courts, and a TON of parking spaces (replaced with eye-sore garages). Surely, losing these big-ticket amenities would make our rent go down, right? NOPE. Try having it go up, repeatedly, every year I've been there.
Bad bad clientele, losing out on amenities while paying MORE for rent, feeling like I am in a daycare, entitled management... the list goes on and on. I would give this place 1-star, but the maintenance crew is top-notch, and get anything and everything fixed same-day. If it weren't for those guys, this would be a 1-star review.
