MAA Brierdale Apartments

I live here currently and everything is great except for 2 things, No valet trash and no lateral transfers. I was trying to transfer from the 3rd-floor apartment in the back to a first or second-floor in the front due to me not having a car and them not having valet trash and they refused. Also, the garbage is always piled up at the dumpster. And I tend to have a lot of problems with the electronic system.

Toured this complex today and sadly, the amenities are very outdated. Stuffy model apartment was shown, outdated appliances, only carpet options, and no detached garage, so the highest floor can’t even get a garage. Great location and all other amenities are there, just wish they updated the kitchen and had a few detached garages. We would seriously consider if so!

Scheduled a tour and canceled due to bad reviews. Leasing agent called me 10 times in 2 hours, left four voicemails, and only stopped calling once I answered and told him to leave me alone or I’d report him for harassment. He proceeded to email me three more times. It really makes you wonder how desperate they are to rent apartments if they feel the need to be this aggressive in this kind of housing market.

I was recently visiting with my sister and within an hour we killed almost 15 worms (centipedes)which she's experienced since June. She has experienced mold in her bedroom on the window and she has been sick for almost a month due to it. I was watching the manager on security camera and she talked to my sister as if she was if ignorant and just allowed mold to grow on her window. I spoke to neighbors who are experiencing the same things

I’ll start by saying, we’ve only been living here 4 months and it’s been a nightmare since day one. We did a walkthrough the day we moved in and it looked like they did absolutely nothing to prepare the unit for a new tenant. The second bedroom had a huge red stain in the middle of the carpet, the drain was missing from the kitchen sink, the shelf in the front closet was hanging by one screw, the fire alarms were dangling from the wires, and only one button on the microwave panel worked. They... did fix all these issues...it just took them weeks to do so.

Another issue is the bugs. Yes, believe every review about bug issues that you read about this place. Thankfully, we have not had any mice in our apartment, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they were somewhere in this complex. So glad we pay for pest control..

And although the bugs are bad, I’m capable of killing them or bringing them outside myself. The real problem is the zoo that lives above me. These apartments are VERY cheaply made. The walls/ceilings are paper thin, and I’m unlucky enough to have gotten stuck beneath a family with useless parents who allow their children to scream at the top of their lungs and run/stomp through the apartment like wild animals at all hours of the day. But the office REFUSES to help. “They have determined” that these noises are par for the course in apartment living. (Although in the walkthrough, the apartment manager heard the noise from upstairs and said for us to let them know if it continues because it’s excessive). I’ve lived in numerous apartments and have NEVER been woken up at 6:30am EVERY weekend due to inconsiderate neighbors. The only solution the office has given is to move us to the fourth floor, which doesn’t work for me. All I want is to be let out of our lease, because if I need to be inconvenienced to move again, it would be far away from this sorry excuse of a living environment.

DO NOT LIVE HERE. No one should ever have to pay this much money to absolutely hate being home. So unless you want to live in an absolute dump with awful neighbors,save yourself a lease-long headache. Read More
