I do not think that this company can be trusted. Avenue's site states: "Low Fee Guarantee - We…read morematch any competing proposal fee for comparable service. We won't be beat on fees." Avenue does not keep its word. I was in talks with Avenue, as I was considering using them as property manager for my rental. Per the request of the Avenue employee I was speaking with, I sent him a leasing agreement I had with a competing property management company. I did this to see if Avenue would actually stand by their word and make good on their "low fee guarantee." After talking with me on the phone about it, the Avenue employee actually agreed with me that my lease with this other company was an "apples to apples" comparison with their own. However, he said that they would charge me more than the other company. In other words, they would not honor their own guarantee. They do not keep their word. Also, there are multiple fake positive reviews of this company. I'm 99% sure that some of these fake reviews were posted by their employees. I would advise staying away from this company.

I texted to let her know I was there, and she replied, she had a 'scheduling conflict' could we reschedule. Sure, we rescheduled, and I ended up seeing the unit along with another prospective renter. Was VERY INTERESTED in the unit and asked could we do another quick showing before i submitted the application. Long story short.....had to reach out to her numerous times to get a reply and was told I had to have an approved application before I could see the unit again, (which made no sense) and that she was very busy! SO UNPROFESSIONAL. I'm glad I dodged a bullet. if you see a unit with that's she's tied to, GOOD LUCK!!!...

UPDATE ..I received an email on March the 3rd and it said they haven't heard back about my issue…read morethey will keep me informed, it is now March 23 and I've heard nothing from this company, NO update, NOTHING. I would NEVER again live in a property managed by Smith Management, it is useless to contact them, you will get nothing..but please keep paying. ZERO STARS..A call in a reasonable amount of time would have been decent customer service, instead I have to post this and get a COPY AND PASTE RESPONSE. I've sent you 15 emails that I have every copy saved, how about you just respond to one ???????? I've been calling and emailing this company for weeks and they REFUSE to contact me. This is truly the WORST customer service I've even dealt with. First I spoke with a foreign call center that said someone from this "company" would definitely call me back within 48 hours.. surprise I received no call. Then I emailed and receive a response from a secretary that didn't read my email and she says that someone would definitely be getting back to me.. that was over 2 weeks ago. I got no response and all I'm trying to do is pay a stupid bill for my elderly hospitalized mom and do you think they have the decency to get back to me NOPE. Reading through their reviews .. makes more sense now. How do communities continue to use this awful company. I live in South Florida and though HOAs were bad down here, but this one is so much worse.. the fact that they blatantly lie to people.

This association is misusing funds of the people who live here, failure to notify Tennants of…read morespecial assessment fees. By law they have to give 30-60 day notice for these fees. Only document they have given notification on with residents states they are broke. Then hit everyone with $1200 or more in these fees without any prior notice since May. All the while expecting them to be paid within 30 days. All with no notice. These notices are supposed to be delivered to all residents either certified mail or posted on the doors. None of that has happened. They have added charges onto residents accounts from dates unknown. Mind you this was during the time they sent their notice of having no money. Seems convenient right?? The property grounds have gone derelict due to this severe misuse and mistrust of this HOA. So now we sit with a green swamp of a pool which is breeding grounds for all sorts of bacteria, including bugs. Trees that are falling into buildings and pathways. Stairs that are falling apart due to to severe carpenter bee damage and infestation that has gone on for atleast years that they are refusing to fix. The saw dust from their damage can be seen on most all the stair cases. Stairs to peoples homes that are severely damaged by them. Puts the residents at risk for injury or death. They tore out the entire wash room, put a notice up it was being repaired then never repaired it. Tore out the children's play ground. So now its a rock pit. Not fixing potholes in the parking lots that have caused damage to cars. Multiple large tree branches had fallen onto a building blocking an entrance, their emergency line was called they sent nobody. This was late May after they sent their notice. Several residents of the building the tree had fallen on had to saw down the limbs of the tree branches and move it themselves because they did not send anyone out to remedy this. The tree branches just sat there blocking the side walks for at least 2 weeks. Eventually we had to relocate them ourselves and risk injury for something they should have been corrected by the HOA we pay these ungodly fees to. The same tree is falling apart and the large limbs keep breaking off. Again, failure to do the job you guys are designed to do. Stay away from this HOA and this condominium. If you are a resident or potential resident reading this, I encourage all of you to report this severe violation of HOA to the BBB to start. Submit any and all pictures, documents (or lack there of), and stories. I also encourage you to join in on taking this HOA to court for their severe misuse and mistrust of their power and our hard earned money. They are ruining families here by forcing them out and not even doing their job. What they are doing is illegal and they need to be audited and investigated immediately for their actions.

To update my review: my realtor toured this property on April 18 and reported a natural gas smell…read more The owner claimed the fire department had checked and found no leak, but the fire department later stated they had no record of any such visit. We moved across the country on June 4, six weeks after reporting the issue, and the gas leak was still ongoing. A contractor later told us the levels were severe enough that we were fortunate a major incident had not occurred. The owner's contractor also improperly replaced the gas line with an undersized one, according to Spire, and I was the person contacting Spire throughout the process. They let me know that the pipe the contractor replaced was 1/4th inch too small and could lead to carbon monoxide or gas buildup in the lines. During the nine months we lived there, two additional gas leaks occurred in other areas of the system. After spending over $10,000 to move and paying rent for May while the house sat vacant, Stephanie Olsen told me over the phone that "this isn't working out" and that we would need to find another place if we continued being "ungrateful." We ultimately moved out early after 10 months, and paid April 2026 rent while the property was vacant and we were in a new rental. The house itself had numerous issues: filthy vents filled with years of dust and mold, insect infestations (basement had roaches, beetles and grasshoppers) requiring extermination, and a failing sump pump system with drain flies that contributed to a very strong basement odor. The home was at times uninhabitable due to the gas smell, causing headaches and dizziness for both me and my Mom, and we paid out of pocket for hotel stays. This experience was emotionally and financially exhausting. After being threatened with eviction, do you really think I felt comfortable reporting every issue with the house? Of course not. So we financially covered multiple issues due to fear of retaliation.

( fire department had no record) We moved from across the country on June 4th . The gas leak was ongoing. The contractor hired by the owner was incompetent and replaced the gas line with too small of a line per spire. And I'm the one who contacted spire every time . We went on to have 2 more gas leaks in the 9 months we lived in this home . At other areas of the gas system. Stephanie Olsen definitely threatened to let me out of my lease in June when we spoke on the phone after I had just spent $8,000 dollars and payed rent for May( while the house was vacant). And no one would be happy with this situation. We left early and payed for April of this year while the house was vacant. This company and the homes owner were awful. Stephanie literally screamed at me and threatened to evict me on the phone until I was in tears. The house was literally inhabitable due to the extremely strong smell of gas, which was causing headaches and dizziness for me and my son. We paid to stay in a hotel. The vents were filthy with dust and mold that had not been cleaned for years. We had to pay for an exterminator due to a hornet and grasshopper infestation, a plumber for a failing sump pit motor infested with drain flies / worms, which also contributed to the basement odor. The list goes on but my point is - this was a nightmare both emotionally and financially for us. Do you really think I'm going to report every issue wrong with the home after I was threatened with eviction? Obviously not.

AVOID SIGNING ANYTHING!!!!! ZERO STARS! SCAM!…read more This company is a complete and utter joke. I first began speaking with Pamela, the property manager (when I was able to get ahold of her- her voicemail has been full the entire time I have dealt with her and takes several days to return text messages) back in September about upcoming availability and viewed several properties. In October I selected one and I was set to move in to this "newly refinished" condo after an existing tenant moved out on 12/31/2025. Initially I was told that the condo would take a couple of weeks to turn around, and to expect it to be available close to the end of January. On Jan 5th she confirmed via text that the condo was in the process of having new cabinets, flooring, paint, appliances... "everything in here will be brand new!" she said. January 19th I reached out and was told it was still in progress and hopefully would be done by the end of the week. Jan 29th I reached out and received no response. And as always, no options to leave voicemails whatsoever. Jan 30th (Friday) I reached out and asked if it would be done by the following weekend. I did not receive any response still until Feb 2nd, where Pamela told me that it would be done "Friday" (Feb 6th). On Feb 6th I reached out to see if the unit had in fact been completed and received a text from Pamela saying she didn't know, was on vacation, and would look Monday to see. Well, Monday came and went, and finally on Feb 12th (Thursday) Pamela told me that the unit was finished and just waiting for an inspection "next week" and asked when I wanted to move in. Mind you, I had been waiting on this since October and was told that it would be available end of January so at this point we are packed and beyond ready to move ASAP. I asked if we could walk through the unit to see it completed and her response was "absolutely!". I asked when and received no response. I reached out again on Feb 19th and asked again when we could view the unit and if it had been inspected. No response. Feb 20th I reached out again and asked when I could view it- No response. Feb 23rd I reached out and asked if we could view the unit the following. day, Feb 24th. Pamela finally responded "My Boss decided he's going to start selling them instead of renting them." And THAT WAS IT. I asked if her boss would be willing to reconsider renting this one still as I has been waiting 5 months and as a single mother who needs to settle and plan carefully, this is not only completely unprofessional but an especially terrible position to be placed in. NOTHING. When I called her and she finally answered, she rudely told me "HE IS SELLING THEM" as soon as she answered. Informed me that mine "was the first to sell, actually!". SPEECHLESS!!! This company is an utter disgrace and this woman should retire immediately. Do not waste your time with these folks!

My husband and I have been living at Sandalwood Creek Apartments in Wildwood, MO which is owned by…read morePlantation Properties, for the past four years. We've had an overall positive experience at this apartment. Space: You get a lot of space for your money. We have a two bedroom two bathroom apartment with an outside storage unit. We have loved the amount of space this apartment provides. You get a lot for your money. Including a separate dining room area. Only downfall is the living room is a tad small, but the fireplace adds a nice touch. There is a separate laundry area too that has washer and dryer hookups in the apartment. So, set money aside for your own washer and dryer. Area: It's located in a beautiful wooded area away from a lot of noise pollution with easy access to local grocery stores and restaurants. The area is also very safe and provides plenty of parking with several parking lots provided for residents. They have walking trails nearby and beautiful neighborhoods with sidewalks. Friendly staff: We've had timely responses from the management and maintenance staff whenever we've had an issue. They are available Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays and we get timely responses even with limited hours. They are polite and friendly. Some not so positives are that we've observed residents leave bikes and other equipment in the common areas which tends to bring down the aestetics of the apartment. We also had an issue with neighbors smoke getting into our apartment which we had to seal certain areas to prevent. The apartments themselves are a little bit older and the air conditioning and water heaters should probably be replaced. Ours tends to leak. Not good for those with allergies. We also have very loud upstairs neighbors who have numerous children. The noise can become too much at times but our neighbors to the side and below are very quiet. For the most part is a quiet apartment complex. Overall we've really enjoyed living here and would recommend it to others.
