Channing Apartments

The complex has a roach infestation. Every month you get changed for a pest control fee and I can count on one hand how many times pest control has been to my apartment in the last two years of me living here. It’s honestly insane how bad it is. I’d stay far away from here.

There is zero security here, no cameras or gate and it's a high crime area with drugs being sold in the parking areas, regular vehicle break ins thefts and violent crimes. So far i've been the victim of a motor vehicle theft, and another larceny...The police told me they have been asking briarwood to put up cameras but they refuse. The only cameras are in the actual clubhouse and only protect the rental office. Maintenance has to be called almost on a weekly basis due to leaks, sinks not... draining, electrical issues etc. There are roaches everywhere no matter how clean you keep your apartment, and contrary to what they've said in responses to previous reviews, I've been here 7 months and haven't seen pest control once. There is literally trash everywhere and the grounds keepers literally just blow it around or sometimes even up to your front door. You call the front office and if it's something they don't want to deal with they say they will get back to you and never get back to you... My electric on one half of my entire apartment went down and it took over a week to get fixed... I won't be renewing... **update** Since i typed this review in the period of a month the internet has gone down for a week because the building had faulty wiring, and twice this month the bathtub and kitchen sink wont drain for a week at a time and the dishwasher wont run without filling the kitchen with water. It takes maintenance days to fix anything.... meanwhile showering at work and not being able to do dishes without having water spewed all over has been great.. Read More

We have lived at Briarwood for 7 years. They are older and need some updating but for the price you can't beat it. Office staff is friendly and we love the pool.

Yes the price is good but you’ll live with roaches. The office staff can be nice sometimes.

No matter how often you or the management sprays for the roaches they don’t die. You’ll find them in every room.

No the apartment you might be thinking of renting will not look like the photos.

Lots of drama between some tenants and also drug use is common within the complex.

If you have NO other option rent here.

DO NOT MOVE HERE! (ESPECIALLY IF YOU LIKE AC..OR DISLIKE ROACHES)! If I could give this complex zero stars then I would. I have had the absolute worst time here since I moved in. The very first day they got my apartment wrong. I specifically asked for a 2B2B but they gave me a 2B1B. When I went back to the office to tell them it was not what I had asked for, they told me this other one was perfectly good and they made ZERO effort to switch apartments and give me what I actually asked for. I... had to go back to them and demand a new apartment. To make matters worse, I had already paid to get electricity in the new place not knowing it was wrong so I had to get the electricity switched to the right unit but not without incurring a fine. I told the Briarwood staff that they should have to pay for it since it was their mistake but they said no. That was move in day and things have just gone downhill since then. It is impossible to get a work order completed with any degree of speed and most times they will mark it as complete without actually completing it. The worst maintenance problem I've experienced is no air conditioning. EVER. I have never had working air conditioning since I have lived here. I have the work order request forms to prove that I put in work orders for my broken AC almost weekly ALL SUMMER LONG and I NEVER GOT AC. It's only May and I have already begun the pointless effort of getting AC for this summer with no improvement. Supposedly they have "fixed" my AC 3x already, but it is still 80 degrees inside my apartment. SO DON'T MOVE IN HERE IF YOU LIKE AIR CONDITIONING! YOU WILL NOT GET ANY! This has been a miserable experience. There are no good things about this complex. AND I HAVEN'T EVEN BEGUN TO TALK ABOUT THE BUG PROBLEM!! Do yourself a favor and do not move in. Read More
