The tenant smoke in common areas, tenants leave dog hair in the washer and maintenance does not fix some items. There is also a recurring pest issue.

The new management lady is beyond rude, sassy, and unprofessional. Don't get her confused with Lynn who is the sweetest and nicest human being l've ever met. You might be fooled by the smile she puts on when she speaks to new possible residents. But once you live here she lacks professionalism and care for her clients/tenants. In no way shape or form, do I recommend moving here as long as she is the property manager. She’s one of those people you can tell her job is the only place she feels any... sense of power in her life, and she makes sure to let her tenants and employees know that. Read More

Been a longer time resident so I got decent what it is like here. The buildings are owned by different people so might end up with a better landlord that actually takes care of the building to a level or you get the one that barely takes care of the building and if they do it's cheaply done work. One of the buildings had some rewelding on the stairs which starting rusting only a few days later. Apparently a stair collpased more recently on those rewelded stairs. There isn't instant hot water in... the building I live. Sometimes takes a few minutes to get even warm the water. If you are a wheelchair user you are gonna have terrible getting on the building without help. The doors don't have button to open and doorways might be too small to fit through in the apartments. The laundry the units are a mess. There's almpst always one of the dyers and washers out of order which you may find out the hard way. The repair company that you have to call barely fixes these units right the first time. So it's generally a pain. In my building they keep randomly raising the price of the washers and dyers. The storage units are small plus are easy to break into found that out the hard way. I was lucky nothing was taken. There is definitely a cockroach problem. I keep getting them crawling out from my sink in the kitchen and bathroom. I've had pest control come here before and they keep coming back despite being sure to be extra clean and place traps. You'll be lucky not to have neighbor blasting music that you can hear it over the fan, the ac, and your tv. Noise complaints usually do nothing. I have been woken up in the midnight of the night from the loud music. Maintenance is terrible here. They shut off water to the entire building when it can be turned off in the apartment to do what they need to. Basically feels like they very little basic knowledge on how the building works. Overall not a good idea to rent here if you can. Plus rent gets raised a lot without reason. This place isn't even worth the rent they ask for. Read More

I’ve been living here for about a year now and they have yet to fix any problems that I’ve asked them to. The maintenance guys are lazy and do the minimal amount of work possible. When I complain about the same problem the Manager gets mad. The apartments are roach infested and their pest control people can’t control any of the pests. Overall these are the worse apartments I’ve ever stayed in.

I have lived at Garden Center Apartments for 6 years - two different occasions. The management team, Lynn and Hilda, are extremely friendly and welcoming all the time. The entire Garden Center team does an effective job and works hard to keep tenants happy. The apartments are in reasonably good condition and clean, the surrounding areas are quite, and people for the most part are friendly. Every now and then, you will find some bugs, but that is true almost anywhere you go. The team stays on top... of the situation to ensure that it doesn't get out of hand.
