The Stretch Apartamentos

Living in a construction zone. The new management is making upgrades but it's just the same thing every year. They make upgrades and then sell it to a new company for more money than they bought it. The office and maintenance come into our apartment every week and when asked to work with schedules they politely agree but still do whatever they want.
They brag about the pool area when it is tiny. And the A.C. Breaks every other week. Our oven hasn't worked in 3 years and then comes in and “fixes... it” and when they leave it just goes back to F10 (gets hotter than it's supposed to) and the breaker throws. Lee mas

Every time I call I speak to someone new, they always say “we’ll get back to you at said date” it’s usually a two day window. I have never gotten a call back, only an e-mail.. And they don’t respond to those either. You would think during your busier time of year, you would prepare for a an influx of calls and inquiries. The professional level of the staff is pretty low. I’ve been in correspondence with 5 different people for two months, and to no avail have not received any kind of courtesy.... The bookkeeper said “it is what it is” and I’ve never cringed harder in my life lol. Lee mas

The management is not at all concerned about your problems. Never opt for a four bed room apartment if you are a student. They just fill in people randomly and you will be stuck with them for 6 months to one year. The management is not ready for any compromise or adjustments. The apartment is cheap but honestly it's not a value for money option.

I wish I could give them no star for the unsafe and unhealthy living conditions they offer. This place is absolutely unsafe and management doesn’t care. There are no cameras, there’s always domestic violence and guns being shot. They do not care about their residents safety nor well being. I advise anyone looking for a place to live to not even bother even touring here. If you love yourself and care about your safety it’s best you look for somewhere gated with great security because there is... none. They have a sheriff car out there but no sheriff. Lee mas

The Stretch is an awful place to live. I’ve been living here 6 months now, & I’ve had problems the entire time.

I do not understand how anyone has been given this place a 5-star rating with the safety issues alone! There are shootings AT LEAST once a week. I have called the police a few times because of domestic abuse or fighting in the parking lot. In fact, the police are at my building RIGHT NOW because there were gun shots at midnight and fighting in the street. Not only that, but people... have LOUD parties (during covid) and smash glass bottles on the stairs and sidewalks every weekend. There are no cameras anywhere, and I’ve had to put a dash cam in my car because it was broken into. I am not the only person who has reported this.

Getting maintenance to fix anything is such a hassle. It took them 2 weeks to fix my oven after I moved in. Also, the faucet to my sink has been broken for months. We’ve put in 3 requests to have it fixed but every time they say it’s done, the next person who tries to turn it on ends up picking the handle off the faucet again (because it was never fixed). I could honestly go on about maintenance issues and the poor quality of the unit, but it would take so long. Do not trust the room they show you when you tour!!

Although I’ve been living in a 4 person unit, usually it’s just been me and one other girl. When it’s just us, we can fit all our food and dishes into the pantry, fridge, and cabinets fine. However, it got a lot trickier when they added another girl. Recently, we got an email about how we are possibility getting two more roommates & I have no clue where we are going to put all our stuff. There is not enough kitchen space for four people. Also, we don’t even know who is moving in or when they will be here.

Finally, they state all of their bedrooms are the same size, but they are lying. I have the smallest room in the apartment and it is a SIGNIFICANT difference compared to the other three rooms.

All in all, this place is just not worth the price unless you genuinely cannot afford anywhere else. The price is what originally sold me to live here— especially when they promised a $500 gift card I could apply to my rent. But surprise! I never got it. And when I asked about it, they told me there was nothing they could do. It is 100% worth it to pay the extra $100 to live somewhere else, and I will definitely be leaving when my lease is up. I am begging you to do yourself a favor when I say do not stay here. Lee mas
