Kirkwood Manor Place Apartments

I advise you to avoid renting from this company based on my own experiences at Kirkwood Manor apartments:

I lived above some terrible neighbors. They yelled frequently, played very loud music, and smoked a lot of cigarettes and marijuana which, due to the construction of the building, would fill my apartment (both the smoke and noise). Despite sending pages of complaints to the property managers, they failed to stop the neighbors’ behavior, and as a result I had to move out after a very... miserable year.

There was a leak in the stairwell that caused the hallway to smell of mold. They left buckets on the stairs and a box fan on the landing for about two months. It was still unrepaired when I moved out. Other neighbors said the leak had been going on for over a year, although I only observed it for my last two months.

There were two leaks in my apartment that they reportedly fixed multiple times, but never fully resolved during my time there. I had to keep a bucket in the dining room for when it would rain.

When I moved out, I did a walkthrough with the property manager. They told me everything was fine, with no damages. A month later my deposit was only partially returned, with “carpet damages” withheld (“cleaning”, “deodorizing”, and “deep scrub”). When I asked, the property management company told me that my walkthrough did not include the carpet, and that a third-party carpet cleaning company had assessed my unit for damages in my absence. I called the cleaning company, told them I was the prior tenant, and they told me that the estimates looked “standard” for unit turnover (which a landlord cannot withhold from a deposit). When I confronted the property management company with this information, they refused to return the rest of the deposit.

My overall impression is that company does not care about its residents, or its properties. The monthly rent is low for this area, but it’s only a good deal if you’re willing to tolerate the noise, smells, disrepair, and lack of service. Proceed with caution! Read More

Whoever is looking to live here, DONT!!! Owner of these is very rude, doesn’t want to deal with people who smoke inside the unit (which you can’t do), doesn’t listen to tenats’s complaints. In general, it’s not a bad location for the price, but don’t waste your time coming here!
