Would give 0 stars if allowed.
Tara Heights became one of the most frustrating living situations I’ve dealt with in my entire life, not because of one isolated issue, but because the property is so poorly managed across the board.
The management office communicates with residents like a scolding school principal, not a professional property management company. Community-wide emails regularly threatened fines, towing, lease violations, non-renewals, eviction, or removal of amenities because of the actions of unidentified... residents. Instead of handling issues directly and clearly with the people involved, management seemed to rely on mass ultimatums and vague threats.
That tone matched the actual experience of living there. Simple resident issues became unnecessarily difficult. Parking and vehicle rules were communicated inconsistently. The move-out process required written clarification because I did not trust that the office’s current procedure would match whatever had previously been said. Even basic questions often felt like they needed to be documented in writing just to avoid problems later.
The worst example was when my registered resident vehicle was towed during snow removal. Keep in mind, our signed lease only has provisions for towing an improperly registered/broken down vehicle (and includes no section about towing for snow removal) They sent an email, only to my wife, 23 hours before they towed my car. No phone call, no knock on the door, nothing. The towing receipt did not identify a clear tow reason or authorizing party. I had to pay hundreds of dollars to recover my own car, then spend significant time fighting an issue that should have been avoided with competent communication and proper procedure.
They also included an “Online Review Pledge” in the lease packet stating that residents agree to meet in person with management before posting any review below 4.7 stars. In my opinion, that says a lot about the management culture here. A well-run property earns good reviews by treating residents fairly, not by asking residents to sign paperwork that appears designed to discourage honest negative feedback.
The apartments themselves are not worth the management experience. Tara Heights looks like a normal apartment complex from the outside, but living there felt like dealing with an office that changed expectations, communicated poorly, and treated residents like problems to be managed rather than paying tenants.
I would not recommend Tara Heights to anyone.
