Carden Estates made a wonderful first home for us
My husband and I moved in here after getting married and stayed here for about 2 years before buying a house. It was really a great experience for a first home!
The landlady that was there the longest during our stay was wonderful but she was replaced shortly before we moved out. The previous one handled a noise complaint I filed literally minutes after sending her an email about it. She left her office and went directly to my neighbor's door and "off-handedly" mentioned how loud his music was,... and then proceeded to discuss late rent with him, all the while keeping it a total secret that someone complained about him (I could easily hear the conversation happening in the hallway lol). I wholeheartedly appreciated that
Although I didn't get to know the new landlady very well, I can say she was very friendly and understanding when we had some issues during our house buying process regarding whether we'd be able to move out on time and such, she happily worked with us and the whole moving out process went quite smoothly thanks to her
In our case, they did not try to take advantage of our bank account when doing the final walkthrough. While we did leave our apartment in good shape, there were a couple small things I was afraid we might be charged for due to my cat. They only took a very small portion out of our deposit for a couple missing blind slats, we got the bulk of it back. Also, when we had first moved in, the place was very clean to the point you could still see the vacuum streaks in the carpet, which by the way, as far as I understand, gets replaced before each new resident moves in
Whenever there was an issue, the handyman fixed it promptly and correctly
They do regular pest control and have the schedule posted in the first floor hall. Other upkeep that may affect residents was always posted about on the complex entry doors several weeks in advance
We had a 2 bed 1 bath unit and I was obsessed with all the closet space. We didn't have a ton of belongings being newlyweds, but still, we were able to hide all our junk easily. We loved the walk-in closet! We liked how roomy the master bedroom was. The place felt very spacious for being 960 sq ft
Also, these are not sketchy apartments. I felt very comfortable and safe living here
I could say a lot more but I think you get the idea. This was a good place to live. Lord willing we don't ever have to rent again but if we did for some reason, I'd totally go back!
