Great Falls, I am just here to advise people who are looking for places to move and have possibly…read moreshown interest in the Grandview Plaza Apartments.
So if you happen to be new to the city, or even if you just haven't been able to do much research, let me be your warning since they decided to be dirty and hide every single bad review online!
this place is a JOKE.
do NOT MOVE HERE.
I am paying over $1000 a month for an apartment that was advertised as "freshly renovated", but in reality was pure hell.
we are currently trying to get out of this sh!thole ASAP and we've only been here for TWO MONTHS. I absolutely refuse to have my baby in this complex.
these landlords do not give two sh!ts about your health or anything here.
I am 6 months pregnant and they failed to inform me that:
1. the entire building is infested with German Cockroaches. I'm talking hiding all around my kitchen, living room and bathroom. (They are so small that they can hide inside of the trim of the walls.)
2. our apartment and the neighbors next to me were APPARENTLY the worst apartments regarding the infestation, and the best part is they considered the infestation as "controlled" since they painted the walls (and floor, trim, cabinets, counters, etc) to cover up the fact that cigarette smoke had stained literally everything to piss yellow.
3. the building ALWAYS stinks and is filthy outside AND inside. I'm talking trash and dog crap outside in the lawn 24/7, I've seen children's used underwear be left in the lawn for over a week with no concern.
4. all plumbing has some sort of issue. (toilet is hard to flush, bathtub barely drains, sinks leak when used, toilet valve leaks occasionally, etc.)
5. everything was filthy when we moved in, even though they claimed it was move in ready and "freshly renovated" (aka painted over every flaw, INCLUDING A BUG. YES THERE IS A ROACH PAINTED TO ONE OF MY WALLS. and cheap, fake wood floors.)
6. A MAJORITY of the neighbors are absolutely disgusting with the way they live and take care of their place/selves. They're also very inconsiderate of everyone around them. (upstairs neighbors are constantly stomping when they walk, and not at all lightly. basically every dog here barks ALL day long, and the owners do not care.)
7. neighbors also smoke cigarettes inside constantly, I had to complain because I literally was tasting the smoke in my kitchen and bathroom. They didn't do much about it, shocker.
8. they have "pest control" come in monthly, but in reality, it's just the maintenance man with some roach bait that you can buy at Walmart for $5. it doesn't do sh!t and they're well aware of it. (literally had him tell us "yeah just make sure to keep all your food in airtight containers and whatnot! these guys suck!" after saying "wow this place isn't that bad!" even though we had just shown him our pest trap that was entirely filled with German Cockroaches. all of that told me that they KNOW these stupid bugs aren't going ANYWHERE and that they just accepted that.
(No. I cannot do anything about this legally, they hid all of the pest information in the lease under sections you'd never consider them to be at.)
9. The dumpsters here fill up within two days after being emptied. There is always some sort of couch or mattress being thrown out which also concerns me and makes me question if it's possibly bedbugs? I sure as hell hope not!
10. THEY NEVER GAVE US THE SHEET TO NAME OFF ANY FLAWS AND/OR DAMAGES THAT WERE HERE ALREADY WHEN WE MOVED IN. Therefore, we already KNOW we ain't getting the deposit back neither, even though i have made sure to take pictures of every single thing I noticed.
11. They also failed to inform us that there is "a possibility of LEAD PAINT being used for any modifications" which is dangerous in itself.
12. my immediate next door neighbors apartment was filled with trash all the way to the ceiling. And I'm not exaggerating. they have a dog that I've NEVER once seen go outside to use the bathroom.
Must be why our floor smells like sh!t 24/7.
13. THEY HAVE HIDDEN EVERY SINGLE BAD REVIEW AND DELETED THEIR ACTUAL SITE SO YOU CANNOT LEAVE REVIEWS ANYMORE. EVEN THEIR FACEBOOK HAS BEEN ABANDONED. YELP IS THE ONLY PLACE I WAS ABLE TO FIND REVIEWS THAT SHOWED THE TRUE HELL THIS PLACE IS.
There's so much more I could add, but god, please do yourself a favor and AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS.
These people are sneaky, filthy and selfish. They do not care about anything but making money off of this building that should truthfully be burnt down at this point.
SCREW GRANDVIEW PLAZA AND THE PEOPLE WHO RUN IT.
