Welcoming and Well-Managed Community

I’ve lived at Cardinal Hill Apartments for 12 years, and I can confidently say it’s been a wonderful experience. Jennifer, the property manager, is always helpful and professional. She truly cares about the residents and ensures that everything runs smoothly.

Sorin, the maintenance supervisor, is a standout as well. His hard work and extensive knowledge of the property make him invaluable. Any maintenance requests are handled quickly and efficiently, which adds to the overall comfort of living...
here.

I highly recommend Cardinal Hill Apartments to anyone looking for a welcoming and well-managed community!

Horrible

If you live on the second floor there is always headlights shining into your windows due to the buildings be on a hill and people backing into parking spots across the way. The noise transfer is unbelievable. I can hear my downstairs neighbor on speaker phone and cabinets slamming. The main doors slam shut so that gives you a jump every time someone enters and exits. I’ve been over charged/wrongfully charged my rent on more then one occasion then having to pay a late fee for their mistake. Over... priced for the one buildings and the garages flood. Would not suggest.

We are sorry to read your review and appreciate you brining these concerns to our attention. There is a certain acceptable level of noise when you live in an apartment community. We are unable to stop vehicles from driving in the community. We... would have reached out to you right away, but do not have a record of you residing with us or your contact information. We invite you to stop in to our on-site office and speak with our community manager to discuss any concerns you may have.

Accommodating Staff

My family lived in Cardinal Hill for almost seven years. We loved living here and have grown attached to the place. I love how the apartment complex is clean and well maintained and have an amazing staff! The superintendent, Sorin, is a very hardworking person and is always there for us, ensuring our needs are met promptly. Adriana, from the office staff, is easy to approach, courteous, and impressively responsive. She is very patient and accommodating when handling our inquiries. Moreover, I... love the location of Cardinal Hill, there are conveniently nearby stores (e.g. Bank, Grocery, UPS, etc.) and the schools are wonderful with high ratings and are one of the best among the county. We highly recommend Cardinal Hill to our friends and family for a delightful living experience.

PARKING

I Have Lived in Cardinal Hill 11 Years I Love living here and have to agree with the person about the noise living on the first floor. I have been pretty lucky with the last people who rented above me. The main complaint I have is the Parking I live in a single building that stands alone and has 12 parking spaces for 12 apartments. Most couples have 2 cars, when i first moved here if you had 2 vehicles one was to be in the garage . now we are told first come ist serve. Most of he time I... try to put mine in the garage which is difficult when cars are parked in the spots by the railing so that means i have to go to another level and walk down and also my level is the only one that didnt get a handicap spot I hope this parking problem can be resolved in the near future,

We are sorry to hear of your parking concerns. It is still required that if you have two vehicles that one must be parked in the parking garage. Parking spaces are not assigned and are on a "first come / first serve" basis.
Although your review is...
anonymous, we believe we have spoken with you about the parking situation in the past and explained that we do have the required amount of handicapped parking spaces required by law. We did however, offer to make reasonable accommodations for you regarding parking. Please contact our on-site office and speak with the Property Manager to discuss this concern at your earliest convenience. Thank you! JCMLiving Resident Services Team

Don't Rent on the First Floor!

I live on the first floor, and I've never been in an apartment with so much sound transference from other apartments, as well as the electric garage doors directly below that vibrate the floors. Upstairs neighbors sound like elephants at all hours. I can't sleep without earplugs. Paper thin walls is an understatement!
Since the property was sold, inspections and renovations have been constantly intrusive, and sometimes with questionable notice. Months ago they replaced each apartments breaker...
boxes with larger ones, but still haven't finished the cosmetic work from cutting holes in the wall around it. The box is in a prominent place in the hallway, and I'm embarrassed to have guests visit because it looks so terrible. It's been Months! I expect to have to finish it myself.
The apartments are in a decent location, and the layout is quite nice. It's the execution that ruins everything these apartments have going for them.
I have many more concerning stories to tell, but I'll sum it up by saying:
If you MUST, choose second floor!
