I was spending the summer before beginning my undergraduate program at Webster University at an internship in Washington DC and therefore my mother picked out my apartment. I trusted her though, she had been a rental manager at an apartment complex so I knew she knew what to look for. I was generally pleased with the apartment. It was a good size and a good price. There was a swimming pool on site that I spent many an hour during the summer during my time there. The laundry room was clean and there were plenty of washers and dryers to use. Staff was friendly and accommodating. I had a balcony that was wonderful on warm days. On the downside, the walls were VERY thin and I heard every sneeze of my neighbors. I leaned against the wall once and it dented! Parking was limited on the weekends and sometimes I couldn't find a spot near my apartment since there was no designated parking for residents. And there were cockroaches. I know that there are cockroaches at any complex and at least the maintenance staff would come out right away and take care of the situation whenever I called about them.

I had lived at The Villages for three years as a student at a nearby college…read more The staff was incredibly friendly and very helpful with working on my lease agreement for the first time. They made sure I understood everything I was signing, and didn't rush me at all. I lived in two different apartments, both came with new carpeting and linoleum and the second had brand new appliances. The apartments are very comfortable and spacious. No popcorn ceilings! There is nothing janky in these apartments; everything is updated. The staff in the office is amazing. They hold packages, they remember your name and where you live and they do a good job of communicating with one another, just in case your go-to person isn't available when you come in. The maintenance staff is a small group of hilarious, kind and wonderful people. The common area in the buildings are cleaned once a month, an exterminator is on the property every other Friday and is available free of charge, and the repair guys are awesome. If I put in a work order in the morning, they'll be there in the afternoon. They came to my rescue when a bird found its way into my vent over my stove. The location is great. It's not a terribly busy intersection in town and there are multiple escape routes to get off the property. The property wraps around a QT gas station so it's handy to grab gas on your way out or a snack, and its a police substation so there's always security around. Because of the location and affordable pricing, it's attractive to college students and recent graduates. There are parties on the weekend and the guests do take up parking spaces, but you'll feel safe walking around at night, and it's only a three minute walk from one end of the property to the other. The Villages was a wonderful first apartment experience, and I've been spoiled by them. I wish they were in Los Angeles, so I can feel at home again!

Going to be completely honest with this one and 3 stars is a stretch. I lived here probably 4 years…read morein the 3 level townhome. I moved in with my fiancé and child, and then had another baby as I lived there. Property managers were great- nice, easy to talk to, easy to work with. Maintenance is very nice as well and quick for the most part. Upon move in I felt very deceived and lied to. I won't get into details out of respect but someone had died in the unit I moved into just a few months prior to me and my whole family moving in. I felt partially slighted not being informed as some people are religious and I feel like it would have been the morally correct thing to do as I have children. However, upon move in there we're still broken things (a kitchen cabinet, a hole in a door, a huge crack in another door) from those previous tenants and it was honestly very morbid to have to look at those things daily knowing what happened until they were replaced. (I found out details of what happened from neighbors) The quality of the apartments is absolutely horrible. For the money you pay, these places need renovating and should not be falling apart like they were. I had to put about 7 or 8 maintenance requests in for the same thing over and over. They used a cheap vinyl on my floors that were ripped upon move in and they were never fixed so I gave up. There's a HUGE problem with water leaks in the basements of the 3 level townhomes. Me and both my neighbors had the same issues. Someone came out about 4 times to fix it and it was never fixed. Thank God this happened towards the end of our time here because the whole place smelled horrible and it definitely molded the carpet. Do not keep ANYTHING in your car as break ins are very common. I have emails back and forth with management about what they'd do about that problem (cameras, if i could have a spot in front of my place to park so i could get a ring camera, etc) to which not a single thing was done. Onto the positives- this is a very animal friendly place! Highly recommend if you have animals. Neighbors are nice. Pool is huge. It's enough I renewed my lease there and it's probably at the same standard of a lot of other rentals in stl.

I have a vintage condo in the, Tower Grove East neighborhood of St Louis, thanks to Garcia…read moreProperties. When I made the decision to move back to STL from suburban life in IL, I knew I wanted to use Garcia Properties as my agent. I support several of their restaurants along Kingshighway and like how they truly believe in the city. The day I stopped in to start the process, I met with a young lady (forget her name) and she asked a variety of questions. She then matched me up with, Stefan Kelly. When we met, I told Stefan I wasn't under any time frame. My goal was to really find the perfect match. We worked as a team, I searched Zillow and followed other listings as well. I started out wanting a bungalow or some type of small house. Then I started looking at condos, as a possibility. Once I did that, I knew I was on the right track. Once I found the one that meet all my needs, Stefan and the Garcia team made it a reality. So, if you're looking for your first, or a new dream home, I highly recommend Garcia Properties.

The staff has been more than kind and professional each time I have spoken to them. Maintenance is prompt and while the apartments are older, they are comfortable, safe and worth the price you pay. The last few months since moving from an apartment into one of their town homes, we have had a few issues. Including bugs and the shower not working. They have handled these issues well and have made us feel like a priority. Specifically Crystal and Josh have been more than helpful and a pleasure to deal with. So thank you Georgetown. I don't think you get enough credit for the positive things this apartment complex has to offer this community.

I've been calling for weeks about a bird that somehow is on the other side of my wall and listened to it scream for help for 4 days straight until it finally passed away. The bird is still in the wall. Each person I've spoken to at the front desk has done nothing but gaslight me when I literally on the phone let someone hear the bird crying. I have mice coming in from my kitchen and I requested an emergency order be put in to find where they are coming from. I was told that this isn't an emergency as no one is hurt. They are in my kitchen where I prepare my meals for my household and my animals. It's way too hot upstairs and way too cold on the main floors if you have a townhouse. Beautiful area in a safe convenient place but stay away.

I cannot express how much I loved renting from Anic Enterprises. I loved living at Shrewsbury…read morePlace; it had everything I wanted in an apartment. It was in an ideal location, the original hardwood floors were beautifully refinished, and the bathroom and kitchen were updated. It was easy to hear my neighbors sometimes, but the great management and amazing apartment made up for it. Bernard and Tammy were very professional and responded to every maintenance request that I had in a timely manner. As a first time renter, I had a ton of questions and they responded to every single one and were so patient with me. They genuinely care for their tenants and that's hard to find when renting. I had to move because I got married and my husband teaches out of state. I had an additional month left to rent, but they found another tenant and refunded a prorated amount for the last month I paid as well as the full security deposit. I am now dealing with a jack ass of a property manager, so I took this wonderful management for granted. I left my heart at my apartment at Shrewsbury Place. If you are looking to rent in the St. Louis area, I highly recommend renting from Anic Enterprises.

Now that I am out, I can anonymously share what tenants are dealing with due to the new owners…read more Here are a few of the specific complaints from tenants who have been residents of these properties for 3 to nearly 20 years (identifying attributes removed or generalized for anonymity): These new owners are ATROCIOUS. WITHOUT NOTICE, the new owners now allow dogs which one tenant is extremely allergic to, causing them to go on medication due to the new pets in their building and the smell/hair/dander in the carpeted hallway. Another cannot cope with the incessant barking heard coming from the adjacent building. The grass and grounds where children had played are now covered in yellow stained spots from urine and feces of the animals (note: feces is being cleaned up but the damage to the grass is still happening). Dumpsters impede the full use of the driveway. THERE IS NO COMMUNICATION ABOUT WHAT THEY ARE DOING. The new owners are allowing new and disrespectful tenants who scream at all hours of the day and night and slam doors to where the entire building and those on the street can hear - they seem to take anyone now. Non-residents/workers are leaving doors unlocked and propped open after they depart. One tenant pays for a parking spot but someone else is regularly in it, assumed to be a hired worker. They never told one tenant about the construction and they work from home and were unable to run a very important meeting for work due to the non-stop drilling noise. Attempts have been made, without notice, to enter a unit while a minor child was home alone. One tenant is extremely sensitive to pesticide and would vacate for a couple days when the previous owner notified them of a treatment. NO NOTICE was given when the new owners treated, causing this tenant to pass out in their kitchen in front of their small child who didn't know what to do. Poison control was called and the treating company refused to provide the type of chemical used that day without authorization from the building owner. NO ADVANCE NOTICE is being given of construction and apartment entry, causing numerous tenants to experience unknown contractor knocks and entry into units last minute. Notices are no longer posted in the buildings in advance or at each tenant's door. The new owners said there would be drop boxes installed to submit rent - that never happened. An email notice was sent to one tenant the day after the email said they would be entering the tenant's unit - which required the tenant to execute several tasks they were unable to do and it was during the holidays. Non-residents are now entering the buildings and "snooping" through different areas that were previously secured and are now being left open - damage to the property has occurred. The "upgrades" may look nice at first but they are really cheap and remove any historical charm the units previously had. The "improvements" are done so poorly and are cheap and nothing matches, the new paint is already peeling off and you can see through the paint because it needed primer or another coat. There is a new tenant who must have serious mental health issues and there is a concern for children because they are making "demonic dolls" and "shrines" and putting stacks of full beer cans in odd locations in their walkways. Hopefully these owners can take this as constructive criticism to improve their communication and screening process since the tenants don't feel comfortable speaking up about their individual experiences outside of hallway and sidewalk conversations.

I was with my sister and brother-in-law this past Saturday to help them in their apartment search…read more We looked at about 6 properties in one day with this location being the 2nd one we looked at. Even though we saw it early in the day, we couldn't get it out of our minds! Everything we looked at afterwards was compared to these apartments!! While it was on the higher side of the price range compared to the others we looked at, you could tell they had a lot more to offer. Our first reaction as we turned into the driveway towards the leasing office was how beautiful the grounds and buildings looked! Everything looked crisp and tidy. The grounds looked very well-maintained and we could see a few people wandering the grounds, walking their dogs or just enjoying the beautiful day (until it started to rain). We met with Mike, who happened to be working there on his first day at this location (with many years of experience in leasing at other properties). While he was not fully familiar with the property, he didn't let that stop him from giving us an excellent tour! He talked with his manager Pam a few times to get some clarification on a few things before taking us across the way to a 2-bedroom model. He explained to us that the only 2-bedroom apartment available for immediate move in was only partially renovated while the model was fully remodeled so that we had proper expectations for what we could expect. He even showed us some pictures comparing the two styles to show us the differences and it was clear the only big difference was a few cosmetic changes in the kitchen. We then asked him if we could see the vacant one just to get a better idea of the location and what the partially renovated kitchen looked like. So he took us over there and we saw it was near the back side of the property, away from the street. It looked very nice and had a great shade tree just out front. He did have difficulty opening the door, as his key didn't seem to work properly. However, he was able to get a different key from the front office and we were able to get inside and take a look around. As we expected, there were a few differences from the fully renovated model we viewed earlier. The counter tops and cabinets were a different color and this apartment did not come with a microwave - all very minor things to us. A big plus was that the unit came with a washer and dryer in one of the bedrooms!! Definitely a big perk considering the laundry facility was not attached to the building. After taking the day to shop around a bit longer, my sister and brother-in-law came to the decision that they would get the apartment we looked at at this property. Because they made up their minds late in the day, we were not able to put the apartment on hold in the same day. We had to wait until Monday because their office is closed on Sundays, but upon walking in at 9am Monday morning, they were able to submit their applications and put the apartment on hold until their applications were processed. They picked up the keys and signed the lease on Tuesday and are very comfortable in their new home!! Another great thing to note: they were very accommodating to walk-ins! I had called the previous day to schedule an appointment and they told us we could walk in any time between 9am - 5pm and they would be able to show us around - no appointment necessary. So we squeezed this apartment in between some of our other scheduled appointments and it was very much worth it! We actually spent more time looking at this property than we did any of the other 5 locations we viewed that day.

Heritage Estates is advertised as a "Luxury Apartment" but this place is an absolute joke and has…read moreturned into such garbage hole! A good chunk of these five star reviews are made by people who don't even live here, former residents from half a decade ago, people who have simply toured the place, or third party contractors. Every honest bad review is met with "we can't find you in our system" and then magically three new perfect reviews will conveniently appear to keep their ratings up. The units are straight out of the early 2000s with old carpet and outdated appliances that desperately need upgrading. Every single appliance I had broke because of how old they are, the maintenance team is friendly and was quick to respond to my requests but majority of the time they just slapped a bandaid on the problems instead of replacing them. You will hear EVERY noise your neighbors make especially if you are on a bottom unit and when I say every noise I mean every single one. Some of the neighbors around here are really shady. The units are also right next to the train tracks and you'll hear that all times of day and night. If your neighbors have animals you will hear every bark, jump, run, everything. The gym is a shoebox of a room with barely any equipment worth using. The pool is DISGUSTING, no matter what time of day or what day you go the pool is full of oil, hair, bugs, and grime. It looks as though it is rarely cleaned or not enough chemicals are used to keep it clean. Not to mention they're constantly shutting the pool down for "repairs" but nothing is ever fixed. The pool furniture is super old and looks straight out of the 70s. My specific unit had a pretty bad roach infestation and they only put down glue traps. They didn't do a deep spray or deep clean outside the units and the lease states that residents are responsible for pest control issues! What are residents paying so much money for if they end up being responsible for things that management should be in charge of? The prices they charge for this dump is laughable and you're better off doing more research and finding somewhere else to live. Will NEVER live here again and would NEVER suggest this place to anyone else.

I would highly recommend staying far away from this facility. My 87-year old mother lived there for…read morethe past year, until July when she fell in her bathroom and broke her hip. She fell at 2am on a Sunday. The facility is supposed to check on their residents by 9 am. No one checked on my mother that day at all. Infuriating. I talk with mother usually every Sunday so when I didn't hear back from her by Monday morning, I called Crestview to do a wellness check. Tori said she went to check on mom and said that mom was just tired but okay. So it took me calling to get them to check on her. Turns out that later in the day, another gal named Lisa, found my mom at 3pm still lying on the bathroom floor, in pain. She called 911 and my mom was taken to the hospital - after lying on the floor for 37 hours. So much for good care. We found a new place for mom and when I went to clean our mom's apt at Crestview last week, the director Christina asked to speak to me. She denied that we had left her any voice messages and said she didn't receive any - from myself, my aunt and also mom's social worker. Christina insisted we give a written 30-day notice and that mom has to pay for September rent despite her move being involuntary, as she can no longer live independently. I asked Christina if there was any way we could reach an agreement since we are not a litigious family, but she was unwilling to budge at all. OH, P.S. The State of Missouri is now investigating them for the elder abuse.

We have used a few services that you pay for such as Senior Helpers when she had a wound that needed daily tending and that was very helpful and reassuring. Also the on-site salon for haircuts and pedicures is convenient. One huge downside to caution about is that meals are not served at all on Sunday nights. This has been burdensome for our family and other residents have grumbled about this repeatedly. They get used to not cooking and then there is no meal and families are not always able to help. So then it's cold leftovers or PBJ. But that is the only down side, other than that, it's a wonderful place and we would recommend it!
