The Staff here are all great and treat me like family and not just a resident.

Buildings out of view of potential residents haven't had landscaping around them for years. Once you move in, the staff treats you like they're doing you a favor by allowing you to live there. The management close down the amenities to residents and use them for their own parties. They have outdoor movies with the sound up so loud it shakes your walls -- during the work/school week so it doesn't interfere with the staffs' days off. And don't bother complaining. They ignore any concerns the residents have regarding their lack of management skills. It also is not truly gated. The gates are left open or are broken more than they work, but even if they are working, the property is wide open. There was even a police car chase on the grass and sidewalk around the pool. There are car break-ins and thefts all the time. But if you enjoy the smell of pot, it's absolutely the place for you. Their maintenance man Joe is outstanding, though. He is the gold standard. The rest of the staff should learn from him.

I don't know the other lady's name but Rashena is very nice and always friendly to everyone when I'm in there. We came to the property on a day she worked alone and she was so busy but addressed everyone and apologized for delays. She was doing 10 things at once and didn't leave any of us out. Seems like we were all her favorite. Perhaps if people had valid complaints instead of unrealistic expectations then they'd realize how nice the workers are. I guess when you don't get your way that's what happens. If there was a man inviting children to his apartment then why are you on here complaining and not calling the police? Drunk people cursing your "small" kids...and you come on here to write a review?? Sounds like a made up story. Seriously, if you hate it so much then move!!!! Unhappy miserable people kill me.

The apartment itself is very nice and a very good location but This is by far the worst apartment I have ever had to live at seriously it's not even close.... Whoever owns this complex certainly does not care about its occupants at all.

Some of the tenants in my building was there for a long time, but the new tenants were just horrible. I had a drug dealer living across from me that they would knock on my door all hours of the night and the old management did nothing about it. Cops were there everyday for DV's or drugs. e had installed cameras bc of the mess. When the complex was sold and the new management took over, we were very hesitate but took a chance to stay and move into another apt and it was the best thing we did. From day one, Hallie, Christina, and Antria has been nothing but helpful and caring. The transition to the new apartment was easy and we are loving it. The upgrades to the complex is awesome.

I can honestly say that I will NEVER live here again, and I would never recommend these apartments to anyone. We have been dealing with a refrigerator that does not properly cool for almost an entire year. Think about that--almost a YEAR dealing with a basic appliance that is supposed to be provided and maintained by the property. We have had to throw away groceries only days after buying them because the refrigerator stops working. Every time maintenance comes, we are left waiting for weeks, only to be told that we are somehow using the refrigerator incorrectly or doing something wrong. They get it working temporarily, we think the problem is finally solved, and then shortly after, it stops working again. On some occasions, we were told we had to wait nearly THREE WEEKS for an LG specialist. Meanwhile, our food is going bad and we are the ones paying for it. We even asked for a small temporary refrigerator so we could at least save some of our groceries while this ongoing problem was being addressed. That request was denied. We also asked management for some type of rent relief, discount, or reasonable accommodation because of the inconvenience and money we have continuously lost, and we couldn't even get a response. This is completely unacceptable. A refrigerator should not take almost a year to fix or replace. The constant back-and-forth, waiting weeks for maintenance, losing groceries, and receiving little to no meaningful response from management has been beyond frustrating. I would strongly advise anyone considering living here to think twice. If management cannot properly handle something as basic as a refrigerator, I would hate to imagine how they would handle a more serious issue. We have gathered all the necessary documentation, including records of the maintenance requests, communications, and the losses we have experienced throughout this situation. We are taking this matter seriously, and management should expect to hear from my attorney soon.

RENTERS BEWARE!!!! We moved into Palmetto Pointe on June 26,…read more2026, and before we had even gotten all of our belongings/boxes inside, on June 27th, I informed Sydney that I had noticed roaches. I was assured they were "outside bugs" and that they would handle it. Weeks went by before someone finally came out to spray. In the meantime, the problem continued to get worse. I begged and pleaded with management to please do something because we could not live like this. Instead, I was repeatedly sent back and forth between several different people trying to get someone to take the situation seriously. Someone would come in and spray, but nothing changed. We were told to remove boxes, and we did exactly that, but there was still no improvement. The bugs were crawling on our bed, walls, ceilings, and coming through the drains. We have lived in other homes and apartments before this and have never experienced anything remotely like this. We have never had an issue with roaches or an infestation at any other place we have lived. This began almost immediately after moving into this apartment. I repeatedly told management that we had an infestation, but that was denied several times. We eventually got a second opinion, and they immediately confirmed that there was, in fact, an infestation. At that point, we simply could not handle living there anymore. I spoke with Julie about moving out because the situation had become completely unlivable. I told her that we would pay the last month, September, and that she could keep our security deposit so we could simply be done with the situation. We were there less than 3 months. We paid them $1,770 on September 8th and told her she could keep our $1,650 security deposit so that we could just move on and be done with everything. During our conversation, she told me that it would be at most $200 for one room to have the carpet replaced, as we had done a walk-through together. We have now received our final move-out statement, and it says we owe an additional $1,217. This experience has been incredibly frustrating and disappointing. The property was presented as a resort-style place to live, but our actual experience was completely different. We spent the worst 3 months of our lives dealing with this apartment, the infestation, and management. I have pictures documenting some of the things we had to deal with, and I have every phone call, email, and interaction with management saved. I even tried to resolve this without leaving a negative review. I simply asked if we could end things without me having to leave a review and if we could just wash our hands of each other. Unfortunately, they chose not to do that. So now I feel obligated to share our experience and let other renters know exactly what happened. Our move-in balance was $4,490. Our move-out balance, including what we had already paid to them, is $4,637. Add in August rent, and we have paid well over $10,000 to this apartment complex for an apartment we didn't even get to live in for 3 months. I strongly urge anyone considering moving here to do your research and think twice. What may look like resort-style living from the outside can be a very different experience once you are actually living there. I wish I had known all of this before signing a lease. I hope sharing our experience helps someone else avoid going through what we did. Renters, please do your research before moving here. I have the documentation and pictures to back up my experience, and I will be happy to provide them to anyone who needs more information. Update : Julie has now informed me after going through our walkthrough together Tuesday after I turned my keys in that there was additional damages to the carpet that she apparently didn't notice while we were doing our walkthrough. This is a joke!! Please read previous reviews as this has happened to a previous tenant as well!

First of all when we moved in a few things at our apartment wasn't fixed, like broken doorknob, blinds in one of the room , our carpet was dirty everywhere and had multiple stains, and etc. Office management don't take care of dogs shit dumpster, they keep it absolutely full for one week, can you imagine that? All of them! And do you know how many of them are here? Probably 10. The buildings are old so you'll get what you expected. At least they take care about grass outside , but dog poop is absolutely everywhere, I hate those people who don't clean it, I wish they get something bad back for doing it. We chose this place only because of the location, close to work and acceptable conditions of the apartment, anyway we won't stay here again and move whatever our lease expired.

I was really looking forward to residing at this apartment complex until the leasing application…read moreprocess hiked up the rent more than $200. I am not sure if management pretends there is nothing they can do or if they are truly helpless. There was a glitch in the third party company that operates the leasing application process and even though I stayed on top of the 24 hour time frame and communicated with management in the following days, repeatedly expressing concerns over the price I applied for being locked in. Because it was my entire goal in terms of moving out of where I am. After paying $75 for the application and $60 for pet screening of two pets I was finally presented a lease to sign that went from $1219 to $1445. The management said it is my fault because what caused the glitch was a mistake I made when I filled out in the application. Early on in the process(within the 24 hours) I said I would go back and fix it and they said that was not an option. And because of that, my price increased by more than $200? This is seeming much more like a part of their business model. When I saw the new price I called the leasing office and they rejected my phone calls. Once my mom, the guarantor, called they picked up. I really am not a brat having my mom call on my behalf- she did it without telling me but they obviously answered because it was not my phone number. So, that is incredibly telling that they knew they were wrong in an incredibly unprofessional manor.
