Bennington Crossing

This by far is the worst place I have ever lived. New to the area and will not ever ever return. There are people hanging out in the streets, not safe for kids. I’ve seen drunk drivers speed through the neighborhood, police and fire trucks frequently visit at night on the weekends, i witnessed a 15 year old boy get hit after getting off the bus last month. Mice become your pets that wont leave on a frequent basis. The laundry rooms that you pay $ 200 a year will shred your clothes or just wont work at all. The management cant wait to charge you for any fee and are completely not understanding at all. The floors and ceiling are made of paper. I often can hear my upstairs neighbors snoring, and i can tell you exactly where they are in their house because the floors are so thin i can hear the couple above me walk from room to room. The security in this place is a joke. The key fob they give you on your initial lease signing is not needed as the front door has been broken for over 12 months. Do not and i repeat DO NOT move here! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

I love living here at Bennington Crossings! I moved in about 5 months ago and have felt safe and comfortable living here. The management staff, Tony and Christy, are soo kind and responsive to questions and requests. Maintenance has been super speedy at attending to our requests. The price is more than reasonable considering how well kept this place is. It’s a great community with lots of places to walk. The pool is my favorite part, especially since my window has the view of the pool! The pool is stunning and makes me feel like I am living at a resort. I plan on staying at least 2 or 3 years :)

I am only giving a 1star simply because I have too. If zero was an option I would certain go with that option. I do not usually do reviews but this place has pushed me to a place where I feel info should be shared. This property and its management is AWFUL. I was never given an opportunity to seey apt before move in. I had OLD TOILET SEATS WITH URINE STAINS ON THEM. My front door was missing the latch so the door could lock properly, and looked as if were broken into, my keys didnt work properly, all closet doors were off the hinges, blinds were broken, my diswasher was FILTHY with MOLDY WATER in it, none of my toilets flushed, and best of all my first night in my home there was a mouse in the middle of my kitchen floor as if he owned the place. There were numerous holes in the base of almost every closet through out my apt where rodents could come and go as they please. it took them TWO months to even step foot in my appt to address ANYTHING. Then a month later I woke to find my 10 month old sons crib INFESTED with bed bugs. (The property failed to tell me that they had an infestation right before I moved in and I had proof!) As to make matters worse when I complained, the property manager played me out to be the bad guy, and said I c
aused all of these problems! I was on fire! When I asked to see the inspection move in paper I filled out to clear my name, they gave me the communication that they had no idea where it was. I am still having NUMEROUS issues mainly with mice and I have only been on the property for 5 months!!! And it gets better one week before my move out someone BROKE into my apartment and STOLE almost $ 1000 worth of stuff So please if you want a great place to live with a management who takes care of you and their property, PLEASE look else where this place is beyond HORRIBLE!

The rating of 1 star is only because of generosity. I called and spoke to the Property Mgr and told him what I wanted to rent. I rented an apartment unseen and arrived the first week of Feb 2015. The apt was nothing as we discussed as far as location is concerned. It faced the parking lot and was beside the bldg entrance. It was like living in a display case.
Next, when entering the bldg corridor it smelled of a gym or jail in which no one had taken a bath. Entering the apt there were roaches. I checked the appliances since I have the technical background. Previously, as a Maintenance Supervisor with Post Properties. The 2 burners on the stove didn’t work. The oven didn’t work. The range exhaust fan didn’t work. The garbage disposal didn’t work. The breakers were on and the motors hummed. About 15−20% of the receptacles didn’t work. The mixing valve within the shower didn’t work.
I told Mgt this is not what I agreed to when speaking by phone. I searched and found another property while making calls to have my belongings delivered to another address. Other JBG properties are much better. I stayed 2 or 3 nights while coordinating everything to move elsewhere.
Then, I asked for my money back from Bennington Mgt. They explained they went to the trouble of a lease application. I explained I was provided untruthful information and rented a non-​fully functioning apartment. They gave me back my money and withheld $ 500 for their troubles.
Therefore, my advice to anyone reading this is you need to ensure the unit they rent to you is functioning. Not even a JBG employee would rent a non-​funtioning car for example. Also, you need to beware the Property Mgt at this site will tell you anything to get your money. Then keep your money even when they’re wrong. The present Property Mgr is only qualified to manage a roach farm. Perhaps JBG will send this manager to ethics training classes.

Too bad zero stars is not an option. The water was turned off in the complex today and I had to call out for work because of it. I asked if they were going to compensate for the inconvenience and of course they said no. This place does not care about its residents at all. The place could be on fire and they still will make you pay for the rent. Just another reason to not move in here.

If I could give this shithole no stars believe me I would don’t move here its rundown full of bedbugs, rodents, half ass maintenance men who halfway do their job or when they feel like it, dont let the beautification on the outside fool you, its highly overpriced the rates add up to almost $ 2000 a month once you add in utilities plus a retarded amenity fee for an internet café and fitness center which stays full of teenagers and people who need to shower, Now from the lease office to the visitor parking is the most shadiest unfair shit ever if youre trying to have people over or are off from work after 5pm of any day of the week you can forget it chief, I’ve seen residents that live here take all the spaces up with unregistered vehicles that they personally own trying to pretend theyre visitors because they dont want to pay the $ 100 fee for owning more than one vehicle and I brought this issue up to management and they acted as if I was speaking foreign to them that right there lets you know someone is doing something under the table perhaps they have family or friends with reduced rent on the property so far my time living I’ve seen four different property managers go theres lots of crooked bullshit that is blatantly taking place I hope and pray the big time CEO’s of Laramar or JBG companies see this review the lease office and the entire property need to be under investigation ASAP if there’s a sweep up let it happen for the best or worse so effing be it
