The District at Cape Apartments

Please read this review before applying or signing a lease here. I moved in here in November of 2021 and will be moving out in December of 2023. The application process was easy, but that is the only part of my stay here that went smoothly. At move-in, the apartment I had been assigned clearly was not ready. The carpet had not even been vacuumed, much less shampooed. There was food in a cabinet from a previous tenant. So, I went to the office and complained a few times and they told me to... move into a different apartment. That apartment had some issues, like a hole in the carpet and paint that is different tones on the same wall. I have had several issues since moving in. There is constant noise here. Between the constant sirens and neighbors with loud music, dogs, and vehicles, there is always something making noise here. The dumpster is almost always overflowing, and trash blows into the yard. This causes insect issues, especially during the summer. Also, the upstairs stays very warm during the summer, even with the air conditioning and several fans running. Maintenance usually takes weeks to address a ticket, so I stopped putting in tickets for issues. Then, when I went to renew my lease, I was told they would email me a renewal, but they never did. When I followed up on the renewal a few days later, I was informed my apartment had been rented. Do yourself a favor and pass on this place. I would rate it 0 stars if I was allowed to. Read More

***Management does very poor job of checking references and it takes forever for them to evict offenders.
***The building exteriors are rundown and the common interior areas have filthy carpets and poor lighting. Upgrades are rarely done for current tenants. On-line photos do not represent the poor quality of the majority of units.
***Marijuana and other drugs openly smoked/used as are cigarettes. Buildings are so poorly constructed that odors easily pass from one unit to another. Very... problematic if one has asthma or is allergic to tobacco or marijuana.
***Parking lot and driving areas are poorly maintained.
***Way overpriced for what is offered. Read More

They make you wait a month to move in because of “cleaning” but upon moving in it isn’t even clean. The ac always has something going on with it. The maintenance crew half does any work you need them to do and not to mention the office is horrible with helping work things out or even attempting to help you work things out.

I do not recommend living here! They are not good about repairs, and they are uninformed when they answer questions from phone calls. We were told we would get a refund after they took an extra month rent from a direct withdrawal at the end of the lease, on June 1, 2017, (the direct withdrawal should not have happened as the lease was over) and instead of them refunding us they ended up keeping it to "clean the carpets". I see from other reviews this in common practice for Cape LaCroix. Also,... the carpets were nasty when the boys moved in and should have been replaced several leases ago. Horrible way to do business! Read More

It's hot...the ac sucks. I have spiders ants and termites. The light above my bathtub was raining...not dripping it was raining...water. Laundry is expensive. They allow pets so that's good. Nice size, nice staff. Thin ceiling, I never hear my neighbors but I'm always hearing the person who loves above me walking around.
Ive just had bad luck here.
