2020 has been a year of struggle for a lot of reasons--Covid-19, potentially no OSU Buckeye…read morefootball, and an unending summer of heat. One area that has been a pleasant surprise in my life this year? Moving into Sawmill Commons, a Dublin apartment complex that has stood the test of time since Earle Bruce coached the Buckeyes in the mid '80s. But you won't find outdated cabinets and small floorplans here: The Casto Communities team at Sawmill Commons has updated their complex recently and made it modern, friendly and amazing for new residents! The environment is superb, quiet and clean. Amy, Deanna, Hannah and the rest of the team are welcoming and answered all of our questions on a timely manner. Leasing was hassle-free and they explained the process well. No BS and no hidden issues. I'd recommend anyone live here, honestly. They have floor plans for all needs. It's in a residential area east of Sawmill Road in the legendary Olde Sawmill neighborhood, so you'll deal with some traffic but you're also close to major shopping and commerce. Our move-in was busy, but calm because the staff was super-helpful. Fixtures work well and the property is very clean. The complex itself has tons of units in many two-story buildings. There is also plenty of parking, trash dumpsters are well-kept and mail is safe and secure. The clubhouse is gorgeous and the water-wheel outside is a unique architectural touch on the clubhouse. In conclusion, although my Bucks may or may not play this summer, I'm truly grateful for my move-in experience. This particular complex is one of the stars of the Casto system, and it is one of my bright spots in a year full of challenges!

During my 6-year stay at Sawmill Commons, I had a wonderful experience that I can't speak highly…read moreenough of. Their prompt and efficient problem-solving abilities along with their professionalism and kindness stood out to me.

My time at Sawmill Commons will always be remembered fondly as it truly was a delightful place to call home.

We moved into Powell Crossing just a couple of weeks ago, but so far we are absolutely loving it…read more We have had the opportunity to spend ALOT of time at home lately with Covid-19 and I have to say, we have no regrets whatsoever. We moved in knowing the location was amazing, we can walk to many of our favorite breweries and restaurants (shout out - Nocterra!). But with them being closed lately, we have found plenty of nearby parks and walking trails to keep us entertained. We have also enjoyed the community itself! Everyone we have met (though from afar - yay social distancing) has been so nice. The community is quiet and peaceful and we love seeing deer in the patch of woods behind our unit. The thing we were most worried about was the train, but it doesn't bother us at all, we've already grown to use it to tell time since it runs pretty regularly! A few of the things we have enjoyed most include the easy open, big windows, the large kitchen sink, and the deep bathtub. Come be our neighbors =)

*PSA: Please keep video and photo records prior to move out*…read moreI was charged over $2k in move out charges for new appliances such as washer, range and bathroom counter tops. I lived here for under a year (8 months because I bought a home). My home at Powell Crossing would quickly build mildew/mold because I was on the first floor, and the pH level in my water was awful. Because of this, I had to bleach and clean my home at least once a week. My home was kept tidy and clean for majority of the time. I believe these charges to be unfair and unreasonable. I have reached out to Management and have yet to receive a response. For legal purposes, this is just my experience as a resident here and my personal opinion. As someone who has been a Property Manager for over a decade in other communities, my experience here went from Great to Awful. The area is amazing. Maintenance staff always complied and were very thorough with every request made. When calling into the office, there isn't a sense of hospitality. There has been multiple times I have called into the office and provided an issue, the office will then say they will call me back and proceed not to do so. I waited 2 weeks regarding an issue until I had to call back and follow up. I have trouble reaching out to management or the office. No names are ever provided in any documentation as if the staff is hidden behind the Management company name. Please read all reviews regarding Powell Crossing and see the correlations regarding move out. As a former Property Manager, I would never create revenue by unreasonably charging egregious move out cost.

When you charge such high rent, can't you spend money to clean the snow for safety of residents. They don't care even if kids fall. When you ask, the response from the property manager is - "Corporate decides it".

Warning: If you're considering living here, read this carefully…read more My hubby and I have lived in this apartment for over 2 years we were some of the first tenants to move in, and trust us, we've seen and heard it all. This place has many issues. Elevators: If you plan to live on the second or third floor, be prepared for constant elevator issues. They shut down every couple of months, making your daily life a nightmare, especially if you have groceries, pets, or mobility issues. Balcony: The balcony wood is warping and wobbly, with screws sticking out that can cut your feet. The wood isn't sealed, which only worsens the warping and causes poor drainage. As a result, the units below have experienced water damage from leaks that originate from this balcony. Leaks and Water Damage: We've experienced leaks in the closet and laundry wall, with water pouring from everywhere drywall wasn't even fully replaced after the damage. Buckets had to be placed under the dryer vent to catch water, which also damaged our dryer and wiring water was literally leaking out of the bottom. Floors and Doors: Some floors are peeling up in spots. The doors to the laundry area fell off their tracks they were fixed once, but not properly. Just a few days after being repaired, I pulled the door open and it fell off the hinge again, almost hitting me in the head. Air Conditioning & Windows: The A/C broke in the middle of summer, forcing us to pack up and stay elsewhere with our dogs. The windows are wonky so they close weird, the wall is separating where the window and wall meet, mold has started to grow in the seams. The maintenance just caulked over it without addressing the underlying water damage. We asked multiple time if we could get a mold test done and they always ignored that message. Communication & Maintenance: Communication is terrible. They ignore messages or you wait days to hear back. Maintenance staff are friendly but clueless. We had a leak under the sink a month after moving in, and the maintenance guy couldn't find or fix it, insisting everything was fine until I pointed out the exact leak. Walls & Fixtures: Walls are very thin, and the paint is matte So even water leaves a mark. Cabinet bottoms aren't secured properly they pop off easily, and the same goes for wall trim pieces. So watch your toes. Management & Building Quality: We've asked multiple times to speak to a regional manager or higher-up, but our messages go ignored. This building was clearly built quickly and cheaply, and it shows. It's been a constant series of fixes and frustrations. Summary: We can't wait to move out in a couple of months. This place is poorly built, poorly maintained, and the management is unresponsive. I'm so over living here so I don't care anymore. I wrote a review before and management asked me to take it down but I'm not going to this time, people need to know the truth. I'm being completely open and honest And if any higher-ups want to reach out to us, please do. We've tried asking four separate times and received no response. I hope that other tenants are treated better and don't have the same issues, but ik they do because my friend also lives here. If you're willing to spend $1250 plus to live in a crappy build apartment then go ahead!! But you were warned. Update!!! they were gonna take $200 off our rent for the damages from the mass leak in our laundry vent and it's been 2 months we moved and haven't seen a dime Because it's been "processing" the check.

Seems that Oak Creek management all left or they were bought out some time this year. Our friendly…read morefolks in the office are more worried about their selves than the community. I'll give you a few examples below. Very small things like loud neighbors, free coffee machine being empty are easily over looked as this is common in some apartment complexes but are here non the less. They stated at our walk though that it was a "smart community" i believe they said it was either Polaris' first or only community of that type. This is infact untrue. The locks are keyed, and the AC units are analog as well. We cannot find any "smart" tech here besides the two Tesla chargers and the lockers for delivery. Getting maintenance to come help is an issue now. We have put in an order for our tub months ago and cannot get any help, other than them coming to take photos. The faucet in our sink isnt properly screwed in so it goes unscrewed each time we turn from one side of the sink to the other. It needs a washer to avoid this but they will just come tighten it each time leaving the same problem. The pool isnt cleaned as often as it used to be as most of the time it will have things floating around or a bit of stuff at the bottom you step on. The gym isnt stocked with the extra times they promise i.e. towels and water. Packages here go missing about every other month, despite having spart lockers. Seems like half our deliveries actually make it inside them unfortunately. We can see others having the same problem inside the community message board in the community app. When I had my first issue with rent in 18 months they told me in the ohot that until the 5th its just a $100 late fee. On the 5th they will issue a standard 3 day eviction noticed which you would have "up to or on" the 8th to pay. We completely understood and agreed. When we hung up, a half hour later that letter was on our door THAT day. Giving us less than the agreed date of the 8th. When we first arrive we loved this place, recommended it to everyone. Slowly, they are changing our minds little by little each month. Please take these things into consideration when moving here.

They were always so friendly. The clubhouse is wonderful-- very nice, comfortable area to hang out, the business center, a movie room, nice workout room, and really cool game room that my kids loved. They wanted to go there everyday. Loved the location and that it was near all of the stores. Duke the maintenance guy was great as well-- super nice.

But if you are looking for a quiet apartment, this is not the place. Unless you are lucky and have no neighbors, which was my case for the first months. But once I had next door neighbors it was nothing but quiet. I was able to hear my neighbors baby crying all of the time! I could hear their alarm go off, their fights, it felt like I lived with them because the walls were so thin. When the upstairs neighbors flushed the toilet I could hear it as if it was happening in my unit. It felt like living in the dorms in college where you could hear everything! The electric bills never made any sense. I was charged crazy amounts for electric when I was out of town 90% of the time! $130 and more when I was rarely home. I travel a lot for work, so how can it be possible to have such high electric bills when nobody is home and all the lights are off? Before living here I lived with 5 roommates in a 6 bedroom house. And $130 is what we paid for electric in a 6 bedroom house with 6 people actually being at home. So watch your electric bills. Before moving in one resident warned me about it but I thought she was just making things up....I found out myself she was right. Parking after 8pm, good luck finding a spot. Not enough parking spots for the residents. I know residents that had to park outside of the property and got towed because of lack of parking.
