Brookside Apartments

Constant break-ins, theft, and car vandalism in the building, parking lot, and surrounding areas. No security, cameras, or patrol of any kind. Water shuts off about once a month, sometimes for multiple days with no notice. When you finally do get the water back on, it comes out brown and cloudy. Water leaks from the ceiling and walls from the upper units. Thick paints, paint thinners, and toxic chemicals are used constantly when they ‘renovate’ a vacant unit. Coin op laundry room floods... constantly, leaving your clothes soaked and sitting in dirty water. Maintenance entered my apartment while I wasn’t home, to place radon test kits and poisonous rat killer strips- all within reach of my toddler. The property backs to a ‘homeless alley’ where there have been fires, car jackings, and fights at all hours of the night. The property manager takes about 3 days to respond, even if it’s urgent. I asked for a copy of my lease for 2022-2023 and they claimed they had no record of it. Rent increased 2 times since living here for only 2 years. When I turned in my 60 day to vacate notice, my ability to make rent payments online was denied. They do not accept cash. They did not check my credit when I moved in so I shouldn’t have expected so much, but overall I did not feel safe here. Read More

These apartments happen to look tiny tiny tiny from the outside, but as we started getting furniture, the apartment seemed to get bigger instead of smaller. They are old converted motels, but they're very quaint. The community is rather nice, we haven't had any problems with neighbors. I wouldn't consider this an apartment to stay at for very long, however, they are very good starter apartments for getting of your feet and opening doors to new and better opportunities. I would highly recommend... them if you're down on your luck and just need a cheap place. They are very safe, especially compared to some of the other options you can consider in the 400-600 a month range. Read More
