Farmstead Apartamentos

Pros:
This place provides easy access to I-5, I-105, and Beltline

Cons:
The cottages are poorly constructed where window blinds move with the wind making the place very cold in the winter.

The walls are very thin. I could hear my neighbor slamming cupboards and doors; yelling and shouting; and was stuck smelling their daily use of marijuana and burnt food. The smell of marijuana in my apartment was so bad that my two air purifiers had red lights indicating hazardous air quality. Please note... this a non-smoking complex, yet the manager was not helpful regarding this issue.

Speeding cars, incessant dog barking, and loud music being played at the pool make this complex extremely noisy. Please note barking dogs and loud music are not tolerated according to the lease. Yet again, management chose not to follow the consequences listed in the lease.

Although it has not happened to me, I’ve heard from other residents that car break-ins are becoming quite common at this complex. If possible and your vehicle is small enough to fit into an unusually small garage, you might be able to avoid theft and damage to your car.

The pool area is usually swarming with screaming children, loud families, and blaring music. All of which violates residents’ rights of “quiet use and enjoyment.” This is yet another part of the lease that management seems to ignore.

After complaining numerous times about issues such as barking dogs, smoking, and noise, management informed me they “sent letters to all residents.” This was their ongoing response to my complaints. I never did know what was stated in those letters as I, nor many of the residents with whom I spoke, had ever received one of those letters.

The parking situation is horrendous. There clearly aren’t enough parking spaces for residents, as each resident receives only one parking space. There are no parking spaces available for guests. As far as I could see, there are no disabled parking spaces close to any of the cottages. There are, however, two disabled parking spaces in front of the main building that maintenance staff use for their golf carts.

Vehicles are not allowed to back into their parking space, or it would be towed at owner’s expense. This was the only part of the lease that the manager seemed to follow.

Finally, if after reading this review and still choose to live at the Farmstead, I strongly suggest documenting every conversation that takes place with Management and Staff.

The property states it's non-smoking, however, one of my neighbors smokes cigarettes regularly. I'm not normally one to complain, but I have asthma, which is severely aggravated by smoke. I've talked to the office about this previously, they sent out an email, nothing else was done. It still smells like smoke near my apartment every. single. day. It's also really loud here. People leave the dog doors open and allow their dogs to bark all day while they work. There have been times where the dogs... next to me have continuously barked for an hour or more. I had to buy earplugs or listen to music to continue to work from home. Apartments have some cheap fixtures, such as the bathroom sink faucet. Takes down the "luxury" feeling when it's the same faucet I had in the dorms in college. I don't think I'll renew my lease here. Lee mas
