AVOID TECH JUNCTION BECAUSE THERE ARE SEVERAL PROBLEMS, AND ITS NOT WORTH THE HASSLE
**IF YOU WORK FROM HOME, AVOID TECH JUNCTION AT ALL COSTS**
I have lived in Tech Junction apartment for 8 months and decided to terminate the lease. THEY CHARGE 80% OF A MONTH'S RENTAL FOR LEASE TERMINATION. The staff will not even reply to you.
Reason 1:
Our upstairs neighbor is extremely loud, they play music all day, and it passes through the walls. We have complained to management 5 times, and staff visited our apartment and witnessed the sounds, but they did not do anything. They asked me to move to a different apartment, and that's about it. They will not do anything to solve the problem. Essentially if my new neighbors are the same I have to pack and leave again per tech junction.
Reason 2:
The internet service provided by Astound broadband (Grande communications) is simply not good enough. The connection drops frequently because of wiring issues with in the unit, and we experience severe outages after every storm. The last outage, which happened on 10/25 lasted several hours (12+ hours), and as a result, I could not work. For working professionals, the service offered by Astound does not work; it is really embarrassing to explain to my co-workers why my video is constantly off or why I suddenly exit the meeting because of connection drops. The fact that we cannot choose another provider and Astound being the only provider leaves us with no choice. I have heard similar feedback/anecdotes from several neighbors, and tech junction refuses to make any changes. Just look at the google reviews for Astound, and you will realize what you're signing up for. It's a monopoly here. The solution offered by the management is to work from their cyber lounge LOL - it's practically the size of a bedroom shared by everyone.
Reason 3:
The trash service company is horrible. We have had several occasions where our trash was not picked up because it was heavy or for some other silly reason. The instructions never state the weight limit, leaving the residents to guess. The word heavy is very subjective; what is heavy for me might be light for others and vice versa. Even if I followed all the instructions, the trash company will circle words from different points, making no sense of what to interpret. If your trash is left out Tech junction might issue a fine of up to $50.
The trash company will not pick up trash on Friday and Saturday meaning the hallways are packed with trash over the weekend. It feels like you are in living in a cheap motel and definitely not a luxury apartment for this ridiculous price.
Reason 4:
The gym is extremely small (the size of a living room) and is always crowded during regular hours and you have to house to get the equipment. They have at least 150 apartments here and one small room with 2 treadmills, 1 elliptical, 1 rower, and 1 room for HIIT workouts, a few weight machines and that's about it.
Reason 5:
They have something called Luxer - where all packages are dumped into one room - it's practically a chaos. You have to search for packages under different building labels and it will take 15 minutes to find one package because UPS, USPS, Fedex and Amazon all deliver here. It's horrible. If you have something heavy coming up, good luck carrying it to your house all by yourself. It's the most useless and unorganized system I have seen.
Reason 6:
Ants and snakes everywhere. Red ants and fire ants show up everywhere in the house. We also had a snake somehow enter our apartment and our living room. Tech Junction came and killed it. They are so many holes everywhere - we have insects and worms coming in all the time. Pest control is quarterly and not monthly which is insane given the number of insects and bugs. read more
