Knollwood Towers East Apartments

As of this review knollwood towers East has become a sketchy, shady, scammy place to live. There have been deaths, harassments, frequent water outages, and constant construction noise. There’s dried blood on different hallway walls and nobody is ever in the office.

I loved this apartment at first, but then after Sage took over, it has gone downhill. No one is ever at the office. I call and no one gets back to me. Packages get stolen so often. Outside doors or garage doors don’t get fixed in a prompt manner, which effects the security of the building. The parking lot is FILLED with potholes that have never been fixed. The whole building is way dirtier than it ever used to be.

There was a point when this building was a rare gem - an affordable, no frills but well-kept rental in an inner ring suburb. It was still owned and operated by the very man who built it as part of a construction endeavor decades earlier. Vacancies were rare with waitlists common, and the onsite manager (emphasis on ONSITE because they lived here and had a vested interest in the building) was professional and treated the tenants with dignity. People stayed years and years, because it was quiet,... safe, comfortable, and clean.

Sage Management out of Irvine, California bought it, and it is not a place I wish to call my home any longer. The building has gone from a happy and settled community to a slum. It is dirty. It is deteriorating. It is unprofessional. It is poorly managed. It is a miserable place to live, and it is truly a shame. It's hard to watch a place you called home turn so foul so quickly.

You may end up paying more to go somewhere else, but save yourself the trouble of moving to Knollwood Towers. Because yes, it really has gotten that bad. Read More

If I could give the community zero stars, I absolutely would. It's gone downhill very rapidly since the new management company, SAGE, purchased it. Issues: Unresponsive management: The manager does not return phone calls or emails, and there is essentially no onsite manager, though they claim they have office hours. USPS and Fed Ex just leaves packages outside the office door now. I manager literally will not cal you back. Filthy and unmaintained: There are several broken washing machines, one... which has had sitting water in for several weeks. The building is filthy now with stains on the carpets and dirt and grime every where. There are also mice traps all over the hallways. Unexpected water shut offs: This feels like its a weekly occurrence. There is no notice from management, and we will go hours without water. Overflowing trash: It's not unusual to see the trash and recycle bins absolutely overflowing from lack of pick-up. The place is a disgusting. You can do better. Read More

Building is fairly dated and units could use a renovation. I had a one bedroom that was decent in size for the price. When I lived here, the elevators were constantly down or just wouldnt work properly and it seemed the water would get shut off A lot. I also got my car broken into and management never did anything to make things more secure.

Also, the view outside is pretty awful and if your windows are open, you will hear traffic and people outside. You'll also hear the train and police... sirens every hour or so at night. Read More
