Infested. Do not move here.
Verde has a lot of the same problems every lower quality corporate apartment has: old appliances, rising prices and hidden fees, weekly plumbing “emergencies,” inattentive management, bare minimum maintenance. I’m used to all of that, it’s part of renting, and I wouldn’t urge someone not to move on based on just that.
What’s really unacceptable is the cockroach infestation at Verde. It’s extremely prolific. Every inch of this entire complex is quite literally crawling with cockroaches. You... walk around outside at night and the ground is covered in them. They’re in every room of my apartment. I spend large amounts of my days trying to kill the ones I see, then cleaning and re-cleaning and hoping to keep my items sanitary and safe from them.
They’re in the drains, under appliances, between every little crack everywhere. They’re in the walls laying eggs and hatching. We buy traps and bait and poison from the store, and it somehow only gets worse. We pay a monthly “pest control” fee that’s the equivalent of burning money, because if you can manage to talk them into sending someone out, they spray a little under a sink and say that’s all they do.
I keep my apartment clean and tidy. I even spend extra time taking specific measures against the cockroaches. It doesn’t matter. They’re already everywhere. There’s nothing I can do.
They’re in the pantry, on my clean dishes, in my cat’s food, the shower, the bedroom. Everywhere. Big ones all over. Then tons of tiny newly hatched ones because there’s multiple generations breeding in the walls. There’s no escaping it.
I’ve never been so depressed with my living situation. It is truly hopeless. I feel like a fool having signed another twelve month lease but I had no other choice. Moving is expensive and we didn’t have something lined up in time. I do refuse to sign again, because I cannot live this way anymore.
There’s a $300 referral bonus, which would be a nice break on rent. But I would only recommend someone lives here if I actually hated them.
Please, do not move into Verde. You will be infested and it will break you.
