Plato's Cave - Branson Apartments

This is the first apartment I ever rented on my own and Plato’s cave and management have been so helpful! Truly recommend

The owners/managers are insanely nice and very welcoming. The apartment are actually nice looking and very affordable too!

I received a response to my review that is completely untrue. I can provide proof of the $100 off rent because there is a whole page dedicated to it in my lease agreement. It states that if you write 4 five star reviews on 4 different platforms you would receive $100 off one month rent. It listed all the sites you can write reviews on. Obviously they wouldn’t want that advertised, but I wish I knew that was why there were so many great reviews full of lies! Another false statement is about the... pool. I went once on a Wednesday afternoon during hours of operation and the pool was closed… It wasn’t open the rest of the season. I wasn’t too upset though because it was filthy. Also, if you had to contact the police department and ask them to keep an eye out on the complex that should tell you everything you need to know about the unsafe environment here. Not only is it unsafe but it is so dirty all around. All the dumpsters are piled high with trash and surrounding every dumpster there is junk and trash. I can provide proof of that as well. Please don’t listen to the liars that are responding to the reviews because I haven’t even named half of what’s wrong with this property. Read More

The only reason there are any reviews is because they give you $100 off rent if you give a 5 star review. It’s crazy here! The police are here almost every single day sometimes 2-3 times a day whether it’s for drugs, fights, prostitution, you name it. It’s very unsafe here and I really can’t wait until my lease is up. Junkies will knock on your door at all hours and drug use in practically every unit. I called the leasing office the morning after someone tried to break into my apartment at 1:45... AM and the person in the office said “ok? Call the police. What are we supposed to do about it?” I hate it here! My place smells like marijuana every. single. day. because the person the next unit over smokes it all day every day. They’re on their 4th property manager since I moved in over the summer! There’s no laundry, the pool was open MAYBE a week over the summer, and your mail/packages will be stolen. They finally just put in mailboxes but packages still go in the office during their hours of operation. If you get a package delivered during hours they aren’t open, it will go in front of your apartment and you better pray one of the crackheads don’t steal it. They really don’t care about your complaints, they don’t care about anything at all as long as they get their money. If you’re reading this: RUN! You can do so much better, especially since they raised the rent. Not worth it AT ALL! Read More

I don't like to complain much. This was the cheapest place I could find in the timeframe I needed to move. It is not the worst place to live, but I wish it was as good as it was hyped up to be. for months now, I have barely had any hot water. It took me running my sink for an HOUR before I could get any hot water to do my dishes and almost half an hour for me to get any hot or luke warm water to come out of my shower.
I havent had too many problems, but I have friends in other buildings that... had their water shut off and was not notified at all.

I do have to say that I am thankful they finally have the mailboxes set up. I can never make it to the office to pick up my mail so it is great to now be able to just pop by the mailboxes when I get home.

I dont necessarily feel unsafe here at Platos. I know every place has people lerking around, walking around at all hours of the night, etc. Two things I would like would be for people to follow the rules and not smoke right out side their rooms, and for them to clean up after their dogs.

All in all, all apartment complexes have their faults. This place is good for people starting out on their own. And their is always room for improvement.

(I live in building 5, so if there is something wrong with the hot water, I would love to know. I don't like cold showers haha) Read More
