Pearlridge Gardens & Tower

I lived here for 2 years before buying my own place. I lived in the high rise, and let me tell you it’s noisy! Located right next to the freeway, I can’t hear my tv. Or anything for that matter.
My biggest peeve about this place it’s DIRTY! The back entrance way is so filthy, the dumpster was located right next to my parking stall and along the back door, it stinks! Every time I touch the door knobs to get in I feel like I’m going to catch a disease! But the worst part was the stray cats defecating outside, fleas, roaches, and leaving their doo doo paw prints on my car… gross!
The hall way and elevators have no air or AC, it’s hot as heck! What exactly do you guys do with the monthly maintenance fee anyways?!? because it doesn’t go towards the building and anyone can feel it, see it, smell it!
Security is a joke, they have a cone to block main entry at 8, so you have to use the other entrance and sometimes they will have security sometimes they won’t, but they let anyone through. I feel like management and security make it more about following their rules versus focusing more on the comfort and well being and enjoyment about living in the building. They always post signs about if rules are violated, then there will be 50.00 fines, this fine, that fine,…good grief!
So management changed not too long ago, a little before I moved and they were doing this really annoying and very inconsiderate thing almost every week, they would turn the water on and off without notice whenever they wanted too. They also turn the power off and on when they want too. (So the power shuts off as I press the elevator button) but the most irritating part… HELLOOO!!! ! You do NOT just turn the water off at your convenience!
The only thing I liked about this place is that my electric bill was considerably lower then most other places I’ve lived, and that’s about it! So glad I’m done with this place!

Ever wonder about the big blue skyrise with the ever-​seeing eye? It’s actually half a clam with a pearl inside it, but my friends lovingly call it the Eye of Sauron.
ENTRANCES/​EXITS:
There are two entrances/​exits to this property. Both are on Moanalua Rd.
One is by the big «Pearlridge Gardens & Tower» sign, shaded by some trees.
The other entrance/​exit is closer to Kaonohi Street, but it gets blocked off by cones around 7pm every evening, forcing you to use the first entrance/​exit I mentioned, the one by the sign, when night falls.
GUEST PARKING: There are some guest parking slots towards the entrance/​exit closest to Kanohi Street. All other spots are assigned parking for the residents only. The guest parking closes at 2AM and reopens at 6AM. In between that time, they will tow your vehicles.
SECURITY:
There are security cameras around the property as well as guards that roam around.
POOL/​JACUZZI: There are two different pools on the property that’re open to residents and their guests. The one at the base of the blue tower opens at 9AM and closes at 10PM.
LAUNDRY ON SITE: There’s a laundry room at the base of the tower that takes quarters only. These machines fill up during weekends and in the early evenings. These machines don’t lock, so make sure you take your laundry out on time.
