Eaton Square Apartments

This place has become more then disappointing! The new property manager is rude unfriendly and condescending! I didn’t have a car here for the first year I lived here which great and now that I have a car it’s been nothing but issues they have the most absurd thing for the tow truck driver to look for! My car was towed and had to pay 150 $$ because I had a sticker on my car!!! When I went so upset to the office the property manager was smirking like it was a joke! Besides all the police. Activity around here and the trash and chicken bones my dog keeps finding everywhere I’m really regretting singing on for another year!

I moved to Eaton Square @Arlington Ridge in 2009 and am VERY happy to have put in my notice that I will not be renewing my lease. As the previous reviewer mentioned, the quality of residents has gone down hill. This is quite unfortunate, because the location of these apartments is great.
Management: The building management is very poor. They are not responsive and do not do a great job of of wanting to keep quality residents. In September, I waited over 30 days to get a plumbing issue resolved which resulted in my not having hot water for a month! That was pleasant.
Grounds: The garbage disposal system is DISGUSTING! First, you have to take your trash to a dumpster behind the apartments that is ALWAYS overflowing with garbage, since there aren’t enough dumpsters to support the number of residents’ trash. The area is not well lit, it smells, and invites insects and animals. The neighbors don’t help the situation either — I have pictures of an ashtray that was left on the steps of my building and a 40 oz. of beer that was left on the grass… in addition to other trash that is left on the grounds.
Neighbors: There are some really nice people in the neighborhood, but the number of inconsiderate neighbors far outweigh the people you would like to share your community with. Besides having to hear kids screaming and playing outside, there is loud music playing from cars (and some apartments), people hanging out on the stoops, many times leaving their trash on the grass or on the steps. You will hear people having conversations outside on their phones. Leaving your windows open for fresh air is not an option. The fact that there is public housing next door doesn’t help either.
Amenities: The pool has to be my favorite thing about this complex, but you have to come prepared with headphones. It is very loud with tons of kids screaming. The lifeguard on duty does not do a good job of controlling the situation either. The gym is a nice size with good equipment, but the few times I have attempted to work out at that gym, there were kids playing with the equipment — not cool.
The rent I pay is not worth these headaches or experience. The truth is when I first moved here, it was different, and I found this «awesome apartment» for a great price — at the time.

I’ve lived there for a year and the roach problem is disgusting. Instead of spraying cabinets, they need to bug bomb the entire place. The roaches come out of the walls through electrical outlets and drains. They aren’t just «in» the kitchen cabinets. They are in the bathrooms too. Calling for pest control did nothing more than what i was doing; spraying when I saw them.
Maintenance is very unresponsive. I put in online requests that took weeks to resolve and one never did get resolved. And if you like the soothing sound of being in a submarine, then you’ll love the top floor. All air conditioning units are located on the roof and have a horrible hum to them like you are under water in the summer.
If you order anything online, it’s best to have it delivered somewhere else. They’ve lost a package of mine before and it’s inconvenient to get to the office.
The trash area is so far away and is disgusting. They don’t have enough trash bins for that many people which causes residents to just leave their bags beside the bins. Very unkempt and again gross.
The quality of renters has gone downhill in the past year as well. At first it was fine, no one hanging out on stoops. Now and within the past few months, there are many residents just crowding in areas.
I will say the pool and lack of crowdedness is the best thing they’ve got going. I also did like my apartment layout, but sans roaches, noises and overall oldness.
