Victoria Park and V2 Apartments

I have a list of complaints about this building but the biggest one for me is personal safety.

The amount of theft that has taken place since I moved into this building a year ago is astonishing especially since a lot of it has taken place from the theoretically secure garage. I myself have had about $3,000 worth of things stolen with nothing more than a week I'm sorry from management.

I know for a fact within the last year there have been cars stolen directly out of the garage, along with... bicycles and motorcycles. Yet for some reason management seems completely unwilling to install security cameras or hire a security guard.

My lease is up in 3 months and I cannot get out of this place fast enough. Read More

I don't know if I have ever left a review before, but i just had too with how bad this place has gotten. The service here is terrible, I have experienced theft out of the "secure storage area" that was deadbolted shut. The complex served no help even with cameras. They pawned off the issue immediately without even looking into it both times. Dog crap everywhere, even inside the building sometimes? We have lived here 5 years and each year it has gotten worse. It finally got so bad we would... rather move during a pandemic then renew our lease. Read More

This is the first apartment I've ever leased, and I will say it has some lovely qualities. I live in V2 so the newest of the buildings, the amenities are nice, the management staff is present, and the maintenance guys are very nice and prompt.

However, for the amount of money we pay to live here, there have been a few things that have bothered me. Theft has been a consistent issue, whether from cars parked in the parking lot, from garage spaces and storage units in the garage, to the wheels... being stolen off my car when it was sitting in the parking lot overnight. Management has taken note, but I have to be honest I feel a little less safe here than I would like to. For a building of this expense, security cameras and security guards should be the rule and not the exception.

Overall for the money, the amenities are fine and frankly expected, but at the end of my lease I will be moving. Read More

I do not recommend this apartment complex. It is very poorly managed and although the building we are in was "renovated" within the past two years, it's already falling apart. They also gouge you with "add on" costs wherever possible.

The biggest problem is that we were essentially conned into a 16 month lease. We spent 2 hours with a leasing person looking at units and talking through prices. The price she repeatedly quoted was for a 12 month lease.
It wasn't until we were completing the... apartment paperwork and providing our financial and personal information that she gave us the terms that said we were signing up for a 16 month lease. When we asked about this, she said, "oh, the price advertised on the website is for a 16 month lease...I can go check the price of a 12 month lease, but it will cost more".
Pretty sure this is called "bait and switch" combined with false advertising, and this is ILLEGAL.
At that point, we had already completed most of the paper work and were excited about the place, so even though this didn't feel right, we went through with it. They took advantage of the fact we were excited, then switched the price at the last minute. Psychologically, people tend to make poor financial choices when they are anything other than calm (this includes both sides of the spectrum - from happy to angry). Now we are stuck in a 16 month lease, and the apartment is literally falling apart around us.
Overall, the rent price is RIDICULOUS considering the (lack of) quality. I am counting the months until we can get out of this place. Don't be fooled by the common spaces - they may look nice, but the actual apartments are terrible. Read More

This is the first apartment my husband and I applied at, and I’m honestly glad we got denied. For being a newer building it looks very unkept and cheap. The carpets looked very worn and dirty, there were stains on the carpets in the halls and stairs, and the communication is seriously lacking. We applied about two and a half weeks ago, got denied almost a week later (we were understanding of that because of the holiday weekend), were told they would send an email explaining why and never got one... , the office apparently knows nothing about it and couldn’t tell us, we were told our deposit would be mailed out that Wednesday to be returned to us and still haven’t gotten that, and they still haven’t gotten back to us. We ended up signing a lease in Woodbury for less rent, much bigger and cleaner space, and a very responsive office staff. We were approved and lease signed and everything within a matter of THREE DAYS. I can only imagine what it would be like to live at Victoria Park if there are ever any maintenance issues or anything. Not to mention when we filled out the application the rent online was over $200 more than what we were told, and they said it would be corrected and to continue with applying. After reading other reviews I have a feeling they would have been dragging their feet to correct that issue. Things really do work out for the best because I’m so glad we didn’t end up moving here.
