Albany Glen Apartments

Treating icy surfaces Maintenance needs to do better with treating sidewalks and street when we have freezing rain /snow. Twice over the past 2 weeks I had to deice bott. A sheet of ice both times. Very hazardous.

Maintenance is worthless, been living with a whistling ac unit that'll drive you insane. Walls are thin. Can hear people talking on their phones clear as day. Dirty grounds. Recycling blows all over the place and into neighboring pond. Management will send you a warning if you leave a towel out to dry yet people keep their bikes and toys out for months. Neighbors reconfigure their gardens. So much for keeping things uniform. It's like they sometimes feel like managing and most the time are lazy.... Anticipate an ice rink during winter months. Renting should feel like home after work. Staff needs to go through hospitality training. Read More

Not transparent at all. They hide important clauses in the lease. They use some word called Buyout, not sure how they calculate it but the bottom point of it is to squeeze money as much as possible from you. When I first asked the penalty, if by any chance I have to break the lease, they said we can work it out at that point. But when I really had a situation to break the lease just 2 months before the end of the term, they did some calculation and came out with $4000 and no matter, how much you... convince them, they don't care as you are leaving the apartment. They give offer, when you are moving in and talk sweetly, but no the same , when you are leaving. Read More

This has been a nightmare. From the health issues caused by the electrical equipment, to dog food in the carpeting to being able to hear my neighbor's cell phone vibrate through the walls in the bathroom and getting billed for things they don't provide backup for - just don't! The units are not worth the money and the office will tell you one thing, forget everything they said and make you out to be the bad one. I wouldn't recommend this place or management company to my worst enemy.

While the price is fair, the area is good and the amenities are decent, the cons of Albany Glen don't outweigh the pros. If you live on the first floor, the noise coming from the second floor is sometimes unbearable. A family of 3 lived above me for over a year, and I could hear their 2-year-old child screaming on a daily basis. I could also hear their music, footsteps, alarm clock, and even snoring, on a daily basis. If you live on the 1st floor, have fun trying to sleep in the summer/winter... with your AC/heater making a ton of noise as it sits just feet from your bed.

The issues mentioned above would have been bearable if not for this issue...a maintenance worker at Albany Glen inadvertntly hit my car with his truck. When I called Albany Glen's leasing office, they denied knowing anything about the accident. They denied knowing anything again after I had asked them to ask their staff if they knew anything about the accident. It was only after my insurance agent called and threatened them did the maintenance worker admit he did indeed hit my car.

While there were some pros, the negatives above were too much for me to recommend anyone moving here in good conscience. There are better apartments in the area. Read More
