Fountain Place Apartments

This place has 100% gone downhill! Packages are stolen frequently from the mailroom, the doors are propped open often and people will literally follow you into the building. The new manager smokes outside in front of the building and now so do others and it no longer feels safe to live here. This definitely now has the feel of low-income housing. It's really disappointing to see what has become of our once special community. I will not renew my lease.

I’ve been here for almost 3 years and I’m done dealing with this place. The elevators are constantly broken, my neighbor got trapped in one last year. It’s so cold that I can’t feel my feet right now. They boiler was down for weeks but now they claim it’s fixed. That’s a lie. It’s absolutely freezing. The final straw is the staff refusing to wear masks. This place is about to be a covid free for all. I can’t count how many times I’ve gone outside and the maintenance guys are smoking cigarettes... by the door. No mask on coughing into his hands then touching the door handles without washing hands first. It’s disgusting. Then they stand and chat with each other in the building without masks. I’m done, this place has really gone downhill since I moved in Lee mas

The Manager and Representative of the Building Management/Administrator Company is a Scammer, does not comply/keep her word, she is offering Apartments that she does not have available, and once one (me) buys the Money Order to Apply, because does not accept online payment through Credit Card, pretend to rent another type?kind of more expensive Apartment...!

Not nearly enough parking (and your property manager will tow you if you park in the carport even if it's all that's available), people are not friendly (my guess is the constant crap you are forced to deal with living here), they cannot keep maintenance workers for even a month at times but never more than a couple months (my guess is dealing with Beverly is running them off, pleasant one day nasty the next), I have had two new cars hit (happens weekly) so now I park in the street until October... when I run for the hills, smelly neighbor apartments makes it's way to your windows (really bad when you share a balcony with one and the hot air from the air conditioner just blows right in your wndows leaving me to keep my windows shut and no balcony anytime), big peeve of mine was Beverly not only questioning my company but then lets them in without notification (which is strictly against the rules), the only company I know that charges you to pay your rent online and the more you pay in rent the more you pay to pay your rent (foolish, never thought I'd be writing checks again). As for the apartments themselves I don't know where to start. The pictures you see on their site are of certain apartments they decided for long-time residents would be fixed up and or the residents have done that themselves. One would be foolish not to purchase insurance as there are constantly leaks from other apartments and there's proof throughout your apartment because they can't keep a maintenance crew that's any can properly fix repairs leaving different colored lumps throughout your apartments ceiling and walls. Bathrooms and kitchens are so updated it's appalling, I have one drawer my kitchen that I can't even touch the bottom of due to the fact it grosses me out (oh and by the way I have only one drawer in my kitchen). When I moved in there was so much cleaning to be done it was obvious they didn't clean the place whatsoever. Windows are so thin and aged I get an ungodly amount of dust and if you're running she made a fire in the winter it will literally turn to mud and settle on everything you own. Smelly homeless sleeping in the landing areas when you're coming and going earlier/late for work/activities. It's a freaking nightmare on Washington Avenue and I can't wait to get out! Lee mas
