Deceptively Underwhelming
Girlfriend and I were on the search for an apartment and on paper Gables seemed to check all the boxes. Close to stores, gyms, not too far from the beach, and appeared to be tucked away from the red light Midway area.
It's been 19 days since move-in at the time of this review and we have so far had over $1500 worth stolen from us, including several packages disappearing within minutes of delivery and one of our cars being broken into and ransacked. The complex offers secure lockers for packages... but despite including it in delivery instructions we have only ever had one package actually go to the locker as most drivers don't know or care. We've talked to management at least 5 times about coded doors being left propped open which they said they'd handle or send out a mass email about, but nothing has been done.
The apartment itself is rather nice and cozy once we got it set up, but minor details were imperfect. On move-in there was an apartment condition form to fill, which I included everything I found so they wouldn't try to claim security deposit. One nuisance the person above us, whose footsteps are so loud it sounds like they are trying to stomp through the floor with each step. Laundry rooms smell like vomit and consistently have wastewater on the floors and it costs nearly $5 to run a single load through washer and dryer. Overall disappointed with the experience and will be considering cutting losses and terminating the lease early. We do not feel safe or secure enough with the events that have happened within just a few weeks of move-in
