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.

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?

There are no visible security measures in place no cameras, no patrols, nothing to make residents feel protected. For what we pay in rent, safety should be a priority, but clearly it is not. MANY residents have spoken up after my experience and told me the same thing happened to them I have the screenshots below. If you're considering moving here, be aware that your vehicle and personal safety are at risk. There was also a recent arson issue that was swept under the rug. Management needs to step up with real security solutions before this place can be considered a safe home. They didn't even reach back out to me about my vehicle OR send out a mass email like other apartment complexes that warn their residents about things like this. Update to below managements response : Thank you for your reply, but I want to clarify my experience. There were no visible security measures in place at the time of my incident no cameras in my section of the community, no patrols, and no communication from management after ANY car was stolen or broken into not just mine. Saying "events are rare" doesn't help when it happened directly to me, and many other residents ( which I will attach receipts) nor does it address the fact that other serious issues (like the recent arson) were also minimized and not communicated with those who LIVE in the Community. What I would have expected is transparency, accountability, and communication. A community that prioritizes safety should notify all residents of thefts, provide updates, and take proactive steps rather than downplaying concerns. Residents deserve more than a generic response we deserve action.

I am deeply disappointed with my experience at Flintlake Apartments, primarily due to their…read moreirresponsible and negligent pet policies. While I understand the appeal of allowing pets, Flintlake Apartments' decision to permit two dogs per unit, each weighing up to 100 pounds, has created a significant safety and noise issue for residents. The sheer size of these dogs is a major concern. A 100-pound dog is larger than most children, and their presence poses a potential danger, especially for families with young kids. I have witnessed numerous instances where these large dogs are left unchecked, creating an unsafe environment. The noise levels are another major issue. The sound of these large dogs running and playing upstairs is comparable to the noise generated by unruly children. The constant thumping and barking make it impossible to enjoy any peace and quiet in my apartment. It is incredibly disrespectful to those of us living downstairs, as it disrupts our daily lives and rest. Moreover, Flintlake Apartments fails to enforce local South Carolina and Horry County laws regarding leash regulations. I have multiple videos showing dogs running around the property unleashed, which is not only against the law but also highly inconsiderate to other residents. On several occasions, these dogs have ventured onto my patio, invading my personal space, and causing distress and harm. (I have video evidence of intrusion of space and personal harm). To the management: Do not show cowardice and laziness by hiding behind the usual response., " You can contact the Customer Cares Line at (877) 385-1878 or email CustomerService@druckerandfalk.com." Instead, be proactive and address my concerns directly. As onsite management, you are expected to do your job and ensure these issues are resolved promptly. Do not pass your problems on to someone else. The management's lack of enforcement and oversight on these issues is unacceptable. It is evident that Flintlake Apartments prioritizes accommodating pet owners over the comfort and safety of all residents. This lack of balance and disregard for the rules makes living here a constant struggle. In conclusion, if you are looking for a peaceful, respectful living environment, I would advise avoiding Flintlake Apartments. The persistent noise, safety concerns, and management's failure to uphold basic regulations make this place far from ideal. While apartment complexes may not automatically be liable for every incident involving an unleashed dog, failure to enforce leash laws can certainly expose them to legal risks, especially if it leads to injury, property damage, or a significant nuisance to residents. Residents have several avenues to address such issues, including documentation, formal complaints, and legal action if necessary.

We really enjoyed the location and surrounding area of Palmetto Pointe Apartments, but…read moreunfortunately, our experience with the property itself and management was extremely disappointing. After living here and especially after going through the move-out process, I would strongly recommend that prospective residents ask A LOT of questions and get policies in writing before signing a lease. First, the apartments themselves are outdated. When we moved in, our apartment had a noticeable cigarette smell, and the dishwasher was broken for MONTHS. For the amount residents are expected to pay, we expected the apartment and appliances to be better maintained. Pest control was another major issue. Our apartment went almost NINE MONTHS without regular pest control because they were apparently afraid to enter due to our two Labrador Retrievers. Our dogs are ALWAYS crated when we are not home. We were told that if pest control heard barking, they would not enter the apartment. This made absolutely no sense to us, especially considering management sends messages specifically telling residents to crate their dogs when pest control is scheduled to enter. Our dogs WERE crated. Simply hearing barking does not mean dogs are loose in the apartment. They could have opened the door and confirmed that the dogs were secured rather than repeatedly skipping our unit for months. We also had an issue where a dog was apparently urinating on the concrete somewhere on the property. Management repeatedly contacted us for asking if it was our dogs, despite us telling them multiple times that it was not. Eventually, my partner had to call and tell them to stop contacting us about it because we had already answered the question repeatedly. It reached a point where it felt like harassment rather than a reasonable attempt to resolve an issue. Pet owners should also be VERY aware of the costs and policies here. We paid a $350 pet fee PER PET. They also swab dogs for DNA so that if dog waste is found on the property, it can be tested and the owner can be charged. The biggest shock came when we moved out. We were charged approximately $1,000 for carpet replacement, which was taken from our security deposit. We were told that management pulls up the carpet after move-out to inspect underneath for staining and that staining--even something such as a spilled drink--can result in the carpet being replaced. This was absolutely not something we felt was clearly communicated to us beforehand. If you have pets, I would strongly recommend getting a detailed explanation IN WRITING about exactly what circumstances will result in carpet replacement before signing your lease. What makes this even more frustrating is how much effort we put into leaving the apartment in good condition. We PAID to have the apartment professionally cleaned, and we personally went back through the unit, puttied holes, and primed areas that needed attention. Despite all of that, they still kept our ENTIRE security deposit. On top of the carpet charge, we were charged nearly $300 for blinds, which we found absurdly excessive. We understand that tenants are responsible for legitimate damages beyond normal wear and tear, and we fully expected to pay for anything we were actually responsible for. What we did not expect was to professionally clean the apartment, make repairs ourselves, and still lose our entire security deposit while being hit with charges that we felt were excessive and policies that were not clearly communicated beforehand. It is unfortunate because we genuinely enjoyed the area and could have looked back positively on our time living here. Instead, the repeated management issues, lack of pest control, maintenance problems, treatment regarding our dogs, and especially the move-out charges completely overshadowed the positives. If you are considering Palmetto Pointe, particularly if you own pets, I strongly recommend documenting EVERYTHING, taking detailed move-in and move-out photos/videos, keeping copies of every communication, and getting their carpet, pet, maintenance, and security-deposit policies in writing before signing anything.

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.

Here are the pro's and cons of this place! (Strap in, this is a long one)…read more Pros: 1. The waterway is a gorgeous view, they recently updated the dock and added seating. 2. Most of the staff (Ms. Kim and Ms. Renee) were always very kind (at least in my case). That's about it for the pros. Now lets get into the cons. Cons: 1. The smells... A constant smell of tenants smoking "grass" at all hours of the day, the apartments themselves (especially the unrenovated ones) have a permanent odor that does not leave no matter how much wall washing or carpet scrubbing you do. It's like a faint smell of mold or mildew (most likely trapped inside the walls). 2. This probably should've been #1 but the BUGS. Oh my goodness I have NEVER lived anywhere where the bugs ran rampant in such a way. Huge and I mean HUGE cockroaches and water bugs, and an endless amount of the little rollie pollie (pill bugs) kind, along with pretty decent sized spiders. Maintenance staff supposedly "sprays" bug repellent throughout the property and also within the home if you request. But one staff member showed me what they use and the stuff is laughable. The waterway is gorgeous but beware of the minefield of anthills (fire ants) that litter that area. And pretty much everywhere you step if there is a grassy area. 3. Overall upkeep of the property. The trash compactor area is ALWAYS filled to the brim with not only garbage bags but also, washing machines, dressers, old mattresses, couches, you name it, it's there! A very large fee for any trash bags left outside your door. Quote from management "even for 5 minutes!". The pool area is filled with rusty and outdated lounge chairs, and a small table that could collapse at any second. The children's play park is also riddled with huge ant hills and severely deteriorating. The tennis court is not even worth mentioning. The dog park available is cramped, overgrown and filled with dog poop. The doggy waste bins strew across the property are always overfilling with feces and the smell is so strong you can catch a whiff of it 50 feet away. Overall, this place was so disappointing. What seemed like a fresh new start with gorgeous views, turned into a nightmare where most weekends my family and I choose to visit other family members to escape the issues of this apartment complex. With what they charge in rent and how strict they are with following "rules and protocols", they should turn that around to making the complex a safe, cleanly, inviting place for individuals, families, and pets.
