Gardenwood Apartments

I spoke with Ms.Kemp a few days ago about leasing and the experience was amazing. She was very informative and provided detailed information for me.

I never have had a complaint with my apartment and the staff is friendly. I LOVE LIVING HERE

Staff is great and so helpful with getting me approved.
I stay in a 1 bedroom the one that’s less than 700sqf.
I will say the apartment is bigger than you think once you put furniture in. There is a lot of cosmetic work that needs to be done. The bedroom is a good size, the closest is small the bathroom is small and has no storage. there is really no storage space bedside the small storage closet by the front door. The sunroom is really the selling point of the apartment. I’ve had a few... maintenance issues such as replacing a leaking water heater, constant power outage, pest control issues, all in the 1st month of me moving in. They all got resolved in a timely matter. The community is pretty quiet surprisingly. There is a smell that smells like someone is smoking that comes and goes which is interesting cause this is a no smoking community. Plenty of parking, dog friendly, there is a small gym. The apartment is a decent definitely not worth the rent especially since there is no washer and dryer in the unit. Lee mas

Jaden and Jenella are very professional and excellent in getting you an apartment. The staff is very friendly, insightful, and delightful. The process was very easy and smooth, top 10 recommendation if you need a new place to call home.

You honestly won’t get a nicer nor larger apartment on the Southside. With that being said, some work still needs to be done here. Mainly the bathroom and kitchen. Cabinets need to be updated and Bathroom windows and tubs need to be cleaned when new tenants move in. Not just painted over.
I really enjoyed living in Gardenwood until Covid happened. People moved in on vouchers, one tenant didn’t pay her rent for 6 months and it just became overly ghetto and dysfunctional that I moved. Still it’s... a nice place to live. They really keep the maintenance up which was the highlight of my stay. Every time people came over they always complemented the way it looked. Gate doesn’t always work. They change management and staff often. For the most part, management and staff is always kind and understanding if you communicate with them. I had many neighbors that I enjoyed. Kids do play in the summer and are loud so try not to move by the “picnic/dog park” area. I lived right there and it was horrid! I was pregnant during the time and barely got any rest. They was there sun up, to sun down. The floors are paper then so you will hear your neighbors walking upstairs and your neighbors talking/watching Tv/ playing music from downstairs.

Pros
Roommate style
Hard wood floors
Community activities
Large space
Sun room
Safe environment
Gate


Con
Overpriced for Southside
Some rude neighbors
Thin floors
Mold on windows and bath tub (I lived in two different units and had a friend in another one. They all are just painted over and you can still see it)
