Gross negligence, apartment unsanitary on move-in.

On move-in day, I walked in to a pile of construction waste(screws/nails, wood chips, etc.) in the kitchen, large amounts of human hair/other hazardous waste in the bathroom, and the previous tenants dishes still in the dishwasher. I reported all this in person to the front office at 2 p.m., and was told that cleaning wouldn't be available until noon tomorrow. No additional recompense of any kind was offered for this gross negligence. Upper management has been elusive and overall non-receptive... to my concerns. Avoid Axiom at all costs.

Please don’t consider living at The Meadows

The first 2 years of living at the Meadows was ok. Everything went downhill the next 2 years of residing at the Meadows due to the management property leasing out to tenants that violated the city noise ordinance laws. The disturbances occurred at all hours of the night with loud stomping, dropping heavy objects on the floor, the use of a stripper pole, constant arguments, physical fights, large crowds of people in and out of the apartment complex, smoking weed and drinking in the hallways, and... loud music playing from 10pm-5am - the hallways constantly reeked of weed and the environment was dirty. I was constantly told to call the police and that warning letters would be placed on the tenants door. Nothing happened. When I would communicate with the property manager, the communication was poor and condescending. Please don't ever consider moving there. When communicating my dissatisfaction with the management property upon not renewing the lease, my concerns were not responded to. Please do not consider living there. If you have concerns, they will not be adequately addressed. Your concerns will not considered.

What a joke

My roommates and I live here and I would not recommend this place. We had a pretty clear ventilation problem in our bathroom which caused yellow/brown droplet spots on our ceiling. When I first put in a maintenance request they came in and said the vent was fine.

As time went on the the droplets got worse. It got to the point that the paint on the ceiling started to bubble and drupe down from the moisture. I spent nearly a month after reporting the bubble in the ceiling expressing my concern...
about the ventilation to the leasing office, even going as far as to have a meeting with the property manager. He said that the building was old and that is just how the vents are.

I don't think I would be so upset about the situation but management tried to gaslight me several times into believing the ventilation was fine when they clearly knew it was not effective. They even sent me an article about mineral deposits. I then asked if they were going to install the things the article recommended to fix mineral deposits and the said there was no reason to.

To go along with this, when we put in maintenance requests they would not tell us when they were going to come into our apartment. When I brought this up to the leasing office they said by selecting yes to the "Permission to Enter" section of the maintenance request that gave them the right to enter any time, which was often several weeks after the request was put in. Apparently that prompt surpasses the law saying they need to give you at least 12 hours notice before entering your apartment.

Enjoyed My Time

I came to The Meadows to sublet my friend's apartment after he moved away. Within my first week of living there I had loved it so much I got the lease renewed for another year in my name.

My apartment is huge and good for entertaining my friends, whom I have over for dinner every week. I also like the location. I don't like living downtown so the east side was good for me. It's a nice neighborhood to take a walk in. All my neighbors in the building are friendly.

My favorite part: HUGE closet...
in the bedroom.
