THE WORST APARTMENT EVER! I thought these apartments would be "decent" because of ALL the alleged…read more"glowing" reviews on multiple websites. Their marketing manager needs a bonus because this place is a profound crap hole. This apartment complex is one of the filthiest, thieving, and most poorly maintained places I've ever seen and unfortunately lived in. I will share EVERY ounce of fraud, deceit, and disgust I can. The pictures online are deceptive, and the reality is far from what they advertise.
The hallways and common areas are downright disgusting. If there isn't dog feces (see pic) in the hallways, ceiling parts ripping away (see pic), a broken fire extinguisher glass panel (see pic), gang signs written on the walls (see pic), torn window screens (see pic), broken windows (see pic), shattered bulb covers or no covers (see pic), stains and garbage on the carpets (see pic). Windscape lied in their online post by stating that dog feces had never been reported or left in the hallways. You can read from a tenant about dog feces being left in the hallways. Trash is everywhere, attracting bugs and rodents, and a constant stench of marijuana seeps into other apartments (see manager comment about the consistent marijuana smell and about trash being left).
The grounds of this cesspit are nauseating. In addition to dog crap inside the hallways, there is dog crap all over outside (see pic). The groundskeepers ignore ALL of the pet crap left everywhere outside. Windscape was so desperate to clean up the TON of pet crap, they tried bribing tenants with gift cards to clean it all up (see pic). Tenants should clean up after their pets, but when it is not, it is for the health of their tenants for Windscape employees to clean it up. There was a mouse infestation (you could hear them scratching in the walls and ceilings) wherein the health department came not once, but twice in one month (call and ask)!! A mouse carcass was on the outside apartment steps and remained there for five weeks (see all the pics and its slow decay). The lazy grounds people clearly have a mindset of, "well, it's not mine to clean up", well, it's your job to clean up! Do not count on maintenance to be proactive in doing their jobs. They do not shovel walkways when snow falls (see pic), and instead, they leave walkways covered in ice and snow. There are also complaints from tenants about dryers not working for weeks. In November (not a warm month), tenants were left without hot water (see pic)! No hot water for showers, washing hands, or cleaning dishes! By the way, the management has the water charges set up so YOU pay for other people's water!! Per Montana-Dakota Utilities, water is not isolated to YOUR apartment. Water charges are AVERAGED between every single tenant. So, if you never use a drop of water in your apartment for 30 days, you will still have a $20.00 plus charge for that month!!
Windscape has stated on multiple apartment sites that they have modern kitchens with energy-efficient appliances. LIARS!! Do the pictures of the stove and the dishwasher look as though these are energy-efficient appliances? How long ago did GE place a hand-cranking clock in the middle of the stove or offer a stove in that color, and the dishwasher having a hand-shoving side lock?! You cannot even see the temperature on the dial on the stove because it is worn away due to being so old! The online photos of their complex are fraudulent and deceitful. Their garages have significant damage around the garage frames, the grounds are full of green weeds, not grass, the electrical plugs are twisted, broken, or hanging half off (see pic). The actual entryway has broken stone, shattered brick, and garbage on the grounds. There are massive holes as you walk towards the outside stairs, and to "fix it," Windscape covers these holes with door mats. Ever wonder why Windscape does not mention a pool? Well, the pool is filled with scum, blown weeds, dirt, and probably a staphylococcus infection. The pool at Daniel Laruso's apartment in Karate Kid doesn't even come close to this disgusting pool.
The theft here is OFF THE CHARTS!! Items are taken from hallways, the laundry room, the atrium, cars, and even mailboxes (see all tenant comments). Some tenants must be criminals (drug dealers), and even the Williston Police Department said a lot of crime happens in these apartments and around the neighborhood. Foot traffic in the hallways is constant, especially in the middle of the night (Why are multiple people visiting an apartment at one, two, or three in the morning?) In only a span of six months, two MAJOR screaming and attacking incidents occurred. As the police arrived, I was waiting to hear gunshots because the fights were absolutely horrendous.
I understand money dictates where you live, but if you're considering moving here, DO NOT DO IT!!!! It is worth paying more elsewhere!!
