Greenville Place Apartments

When I signed my lease, I was able to grab a 2 bed 1 bath for under 1200, an insane deal in my eyes. The neighborhood is safe with tons of children and Greenville is lovely. These are garden apartments with 4 units per building.

All that said, I can’t wait for the lease to be up. First, the buildings are old and the walls are thin. That’s the worst part to me- the walls are extremely thin. Every single creak in the wood floors above is amplified in my unit. I can hear my upstairs neighbor roll... over in bed, or shift their weight when standing. It’s shocking…when I send videos to friends, they’re horrified. I have carpet but upstairs has wood. You can hear someone talking outside dozens of feet away. I can hear my upstairs neighbor’s conversations. The heat gets in and the cold gets in. The windows are old and don’t often stay up if you’d like to open them.

There’s no microwave, and no dishwasher with a very shallow sink. The bathroom has no fan so the entire room floor to ceiling is soaked any time you shower…I have a dehumidifier AND damp rid and it’s still soaked. The water is extremely hard (I started losing hair and began washing my hair with bottled distilled water) and runs warm for less than 10-15 minutes. I called maintenance about it when I moved in and he said this call comes often when people move in and he has to have a conversation with new residents about how small the water heaters for each apartment are and there’s not much he can do. You can’t fill the bathtub with hot water (which he demonstrated for me- it only fills about 20-30% of the way before it runs cold).

My unit doesn’t have a washer dryer. The laundry facilities are less nice than a typical college dorm, but not atrocious…I still opt to do my laundry elsewhere.
There’s no linen closet.

Once you move in, you will never hear from the leasing office. No communications whatsoever for holidays or things to know…once you move in, you’re on your own. That can be a pro or con depending on the person.

To my understanding price and participation really does vary between units and they are all in different stages of refurbishment. Your appliances and layouts and flooring may vary.

All in all, the apartments are safe and clean. That’s really valuable especially for the price. If you have kids, it might be nice for them to have others to play with and room to play—there are lawns and space for them to run around. Some units have their own washer dryers which can be great (but the rent Read More

The apartments are old, falling apart, moldy, and have a sewer stench and drain fly infestation that comes out from the plumbing. You pay a ton (115 per month extra on top of the rent you thought you would pay) for a washer and dryer that often break (my dryer broke once and the office said they had to order it- for three weeks I had to lug my wet laundry to the laundromat, pay for each load, and didn’t get a discount on my rent ( did I mention you are charged 115 per month extra for the washer... dryer option?). When my dryer finally arrived, it turns out it holds about half the clothes of the washer machine and takes at least one and a half drying cycles to actually dry. Not to mention the fact that it is meant to be a stackable dryer (thus the midget proportions) and the lint trap is in the back of drum, which means I have to crawl on my late middle aged hands and knees to empty it every load multiple times a day, which is perfect for me ( also the vent behind the lint trap gets completely clogged and you have to painfully scrape it out once a week with your fingers while in a terrible uncomfortable position because IT IS A HUGE FIRE HAZARD!!!- we brought this up and the answer was “yeah, they all do that”. In other words, rest assured that everyone’s dryer is a fire hazard, not just yours, you silly goose!) Also, all my appliances were so old that my electric bill for my small 2 bedroom was about $200 a month, but I was assured by the office that was normal (I have a few years on me so I know better- I was insulted and amused at the same time). However, her lie was exposed after a new heating/ cooling system was installed because the heater/cooling wiring ( behind a locked door) started burning and smoking- since the door is locked we didn’t know if there was a fire or not- I evacuated the entire building and the fire engines came. But there was a happy ending. My electric bill magically became $110 per month! So I only paid 90 dollars extra per month for two straight years ( 90 times 24 is WHAT?!!). At least our unit didn’t burn down like the one down the street….Anyhow, I have many of these wonderful stories but I’ll get to the positive attributes of the place. Management leaves you alone, you can have 2 pets, it’s quiet and safe, and it is cheaper than most places even despite the “unexpected expenses”. That is why I am stuck here until I win the lottery.

I am a current tenant at this complex and it is TERRIBLE the leasing agent stresses that the units are "old" to disguise the fact that they are legit falling apart. Black mold? No worries we'll PAINT OVER IT. Toilet clogged? They tell you to try flushing again and of course it floods the place & they don't have anyone available to come while my apartments overflowing for an hour.

None of the windows in our unit open or close properly, the hallways are NEVER cleaned, mold grows EVERYWHERE... despite us bleaching everything and buying a dehumidifier. The washer and drier that we paid extra for in our lease cannot even handle a small load of clothing, and the laundromat is dirty as well. The "Fitness Center" that they rave about is DISGUSTING, 95% of the equipment DOES NOT WORK.

We have complained about neighbor disturbances multiple times and management has never responded. The average age in the community is over 40 easily and the management team only caters to that age group and shames all younger tenants (We are in our mid 20's). We cannot wait for our lease to end and we will NEVER recommend to anyone no matter the incentive. There are many negative reviews on other websites and our leasing agent assured us that they were false despite our concerns. PLEASE take this review seriously AND DO NOT LIVE HERE. They raise rent randomly and don't have 1/2 the amenities they advertise. Read More

The staff in the office acts as though they are leasing properties at the Trump Tower. Seriously, when apartments have 1 outlet every other room, maintenance requests that take months, and snarky office staff, the arrogance and condescension is a bit much.

One of the worst and un professional experience I ever had in US. No response to emails and calls. Don't know what to do as there is no escalation matrix available over the staff we reach on phone and they are not allowing in person visits. Don't know whom to complain now.
