If it were possible, not even a star would come out!I do not recommend renting in this location, my experience was terrible with this condominium

I do not recommend renting in this location, my experience was terrible with this condominium. I lived there for 3 years and the quality of the apartment is not good, the office never helps you, you never find anyone there. When my contract ended I asked to look at other units because the rent had gone up a lot and it wasn't worth the price charged, so I chose a new apartment three times and in the same week they had rented it to someone else (which is disrespectful) after that for 3rd time I... gave up because I no longer trusted them and my deadline was running out! So I followed all the requirements for handover of the apartment, in fact I delivered it better than they delivered it to me when I rented it, I moved out leaving everything clean, carpet washed and in good condition. and after moving out they didn't give me back my deposit of $700 and I was still charged an absurd amount of $1,015.70 saying it was to cover repairs to the apartment, cleaning that I had done and changing the carpet. absurd things just to take money from me.
If it were possible, not even a star would come out!

Garbage, noise, ignored by management.

They have “show” units and when you ask to see the actual unit, they say it’s all the same floor plan. When you get to the apartment you actually paid for, there’s warped shelving in the closets, giant splotches of paint in the bathroom, giant chip in the porcelain of the bathtub, dents in the steel countertop, and a massive hole in the pantry with tape over it and RAT HAIRS stuck to the tape. We had to have maintenance patch it for us. Why on earth would they not patch it BEFORE renting the... unit out? They set up a new oven in our unit and didn’t take care to remove all the plastic tape inside, so first time we used the oven the plastic baked itself into the oven, filled our apartment with a stink, and we had to scrub it with goo gone.

There is garbage absolutely everywhere you look, always. No effort from management to fix this. There’s actual rats and raccoons everywhere too.

Next problem is noise. I don’t think we had a full nights sleep once in our year at Hillsdale Garden. Drag racing, loud arguing on the street at ridiculous hours. Parties blasting music you can hear from blocks away. The floors under the carpet in unit also squeak everywhere. Tenant under our bedroom made music or something, because they would play the same. exact. song. on repeat. Every night. For a year. The same song 12 hours every night. The unit below the rest of our apartment had a dog that they kept in a crate all day, and it would bark/cry/howl all day for hours. We sent emails with videos and nothing was done until 11 months later. Lease says barking is not tolerated but obviously that’s not something they actually enforce.

Water temperature is inconsistent so expect to get burned and frozen every time, the windows had a condensation problem so moisture and mold would build up in the window sill, stairwell is full of bugs and spiderwebs, we’re not allowed a doormat even though it’s a carpeted unit. The night patrol was useless and Hillsdale Garden went through 3 different security companies in the year we lived there. None of them were helpful.

If you care about where you live, not navigating through a sea of garbage and broken furniture to get to your apartment, sleeping at night without excessive noise, enjoying a 10 minute shower without being burned or frozen, and having a responsive management that actually seems to care about your issues, this is NOT the place for you. Only living beings I imagine enjoy living here are the rats, raccoons, ants, and cockroaches.

Don’t expect any sleep

Pros: large space for the price, convenient location within walking distance of shopping center, the landscaping is attractive. Maintenance has promptly (though inconsistently) addressed our issues.

Cons: The people living in this community are discourteous and noisy. Neighbors have a fenced off outdoor area and have parties all the time, kids run around the shared walking area and throw their scooters everywhere and leave them for weeks. Silly string and garbage all over. People leave their...
furniture and garbage next to the dumpster because the dumpster has a sign saying no furniture. I’ve walked by and seen broken ornaments, litter covered mattresses, broken tables, etc. A couch has been in the bike area for months. The people below to us play music loudly all night til 8am. People next to us us blast their TV all night and have a large dog that barks for hours daily. They slam doors and yell. Management won’t do anything but give warnings, despite noise violating the lease and the lease saying “barking not tolerated, no exceptions!!” in bold and all caps.

They sent an email to the community saying no doormats or objects outside the door(in the stairwell). How can we have no doormat at the entrance when the apartment is fully carpeted? Meanwhile the stairwell across from us is FULL of junk, bikes and buckets and shelves.

Kids run around outside screaming every day and every day a guy with an ice cream cart stands outside our window ringing his bell and not moving. Every Friday a kid knocks on every unit’s door asking if they want to buy oranges.

The building is old and the floors squeak with every step. You can stand in place and it’ll squeak every time you breathe. The shared stairwell groans and echoes and you can fully hear conversations in the stairwell, footsteps, keys jingling. The stairwell doors are propped open 24/7 and full of bugs and spiders. The water temperature is super inconsistent so you randomly get burned and frozen in the shower, it happens every single time. Our fridge came stinking of death and we have to use baking soda and ground coffee to fight the stench. The kitchen has steel countertops that came dented all over. The shared washing machine is completely disgusting so I have to take my laundry elsewhere. Oh, there are also rats in the walls.
