Discovery Square Apartamentos

Save yourself the time and move to an apartment that actually cares about their tenants. The lack of communication here is unreal-they don’t do proper inspections, the regional manager couldn’t care less because he never responds. Jacki took care of her customers and since she left, this place has gone downhill. This property used to be Lincoln at Discovery Square- owned by another company and it was so much better- they didn’t charge us for parking whereas Grady charges 50 bucks. The stealing... here has been a nightmare in addition to drug addicts getting into the apartments. It’s a shame because the area is beautiful; however this is no where like it used to be. Lee mas

Packages are almost all left on the floor of the package room, making it available for anyone to take whatever package. I have had items stolen and the management does not care that its own residents are stealing stuff from other residents. They don't have cameras in the package room, so when someone does steal your package the apartment cant and wont do anything about it. The apartment has lots of rules that they strictly enforce, but when it comes to people stealing, they don't care.

If you work from home do not live here. They love to do random fire drills where the fire alarms go off for thirty minutes to an hour and it is loud sirens the entire time. Do not live here for the price.

Prefect if your just about work and go home, chill; but be mindful the walls are very thin... I hear my neighbors snore, talking & stuff...noise it gets annoying and the extra smells of residents Apts. home cooking its extra essentric. reminder emails are always sent out because people always break property policies and regulations that's get annoying as well, but you do get what you pay for. overall it's nice place to live in.

Management Staff
The management at DSQ do their best to resolve any and all concerns of residents of the building. I always found my interactions with the staff to be amiable and pleasant. During the COVID-19 crisis, they did their best to mitigate the spread of the disease while still opening community facilities when they could. Opening the pool during the summer was a huge plus. Even though it required leaving every 2 hours so they could sanitize, I was ecstatic to have access to a pool while... many of my friends in other communities had amenities which never opened. The staff at DSQ were the best perk of living here.

Community Amenities
DSQ has many nice amenities. Even during the pandemic, management did their best to keep them open (after the initial lockdown when they were closed) for us to use. Cleaning staff make sure everything is nearly spotless seemingly every day. The grills, pools, community spaces, fire pits, gym, yoga room, and the atrium near the foyer are all great places to unwind. I only wish the pandemic was not around during our stay so we had a chance to enjoy them a little bit more.

Noise Problems
Noise management was the absolute worst part of living at Discovery Square. My roommate and I lived in a 3rd floor apartment, which meant we were sandwiched between neighbors above and below us. On one side of the apartment on our same level, we had a set of neighbors as well. At the beginning of the year, we spent a significant amount of time just trying to figure out how to distract ourselves from the noise we could hear above us. We could hear snoring, any conversations people were having, and if there was someone playing an instrument at any level of the building along our column of units, we could hear them through the air ducts for the bathroom vents and the clothes dryer. Crying babies in other apartments would wake us up in the middle of the night (usually around 2 AM) every single night.

Noise problems here are pervasive and inescapable, and these carried the most weight in the rating for this review. This was made much worse by the COVID-19 Pandemic. However, even without the Coronavirus, any new resident should consider that there are — without a doubt — significant problems with the noise management in this apartment complex. Insulation is either missing or entirely ineffective and the walls were thrown together as cheaply as possible. If you are at all sensitive to noise, this apartment complex will NOT work for you.
