Garfield Commons

If I could give this place negative stars I would!
This is THE worst place I’ve ever lived, the only reason we moved here was a last minute decision and we just settled for it because our previous wonderful place was being sold.
Management here is constantly changing, people in the office are pretty terrible, and when you call to complain about something they give all kinds of excuses.
The TRASH SITUATION IS TERRIBLE!
Whenever people move out they leave behind furniture at the dumpster. The longest I’ve seen furniture stay piled up has been 3 months until management FINALLY took care of it. They claimed that they have to call their corporate management to get approval to call for special trash pick up because it costs extra. Then they put a note on everyone’s door thinking that would help solve the problem and tell them where to put large pieces of furniture to be thrown away, but of course since this place is full of idiots no one is going to listen, so the trash still continues to be a problem and pileup outside the dumpsters. Parking lots are also disgusting. No kind of grounds maintenance… no one comes around and picks up little bits of trash here and there it’s disgusting, there will be cigarette butts all over the place or broken bottles it’s terrible.
If you are even considering this place at all because it seems like a good price don’t, turn around and go somewhere else! I can’t wait to move out of here!

Absolutely horrible. When i moved in there was stuff wrong with fridge, bathroom cabinet drawer. Bedroom closet door. Hallway closet door kept breaking. Shower door was off track. Had problems with heating and cooling system. And now after i moved out I get a collection call saying they want me too pay 800 dollars for them replacing carpet. Won’t give me proof they actually did that. I paid 80 bucks to have it cleaned before I left. It looked fine. I cleaned the whole place before I left. The complex sent me to a collection agency because they said I never gave them New address to send a bill from them. I gave it to them with my letter to vacate. So now my credit is ruined cause of these jerks. I give them negative 2 for a score

I have been here for well over a year and a half, and I love it! The apartments are very spacious. I like that it has a full size washer and dryer inside each unit. You can’t beat the space for the price. Also I’ve never had a issue with a neighbor or noise.

Well new management. Nothing’s changed. Ppl park in handicapped who are not and don’t get two stickers. But when there is not a single parking spot in my entire lot and we park in a covered parking spot we get two stickers. When brought up to mgmt they said I should just buy the reserved spot. No. I should NOT have to purchase a spot to park in order to park even remotely close to my lot. My neighbors are loud music players and I was told they don’t have responsibility to that. My bathroom smells like weed from them smoking upstairs. Again I can just call the cops. Management is supposed to be a liaison between tenants. Not the cops! Wtf do they do all day!!!

My sister has lived here for years — it’s HORRIBLE just as the other reviewer said. She can’t afford anything else so this dive is it. The maintenance is horrid beyond horrid. Just one example — the upstairs apartment leaked three times onto her apartment and ruined furniture and carpeting. What did they do? They pulled back the carpet, soaked up the water and used fans for 3 days to dry it out. That’s it! No fixing the pipes, no replacing wet moldy carpet, nothing. The office staff is very rude and clearly hates anyone who walks through the door — you’re bothering their nap time.

We all do it, get that «first apartment»…and only really know that you want it as cheap as possible. Well Garfield Commons is definitely cheapest in the area. I was only 19… I really didn’t know what I wanted or needed in a living space besides «no parents». I rented a simple one bedroom one bath in 2003. That being said, I really wouldn’t recommend this place to people who are into their place of residence. The rent is cheap and it is just your typical apartment, nothing special. Older appliances, the typical galley kitchen ending with your table which (of course overlooks into the living room). The maintenance is questionable at times, but hey… you get what you pay for! On the plus side, the bedroom was large with two closets and the unit did feature washer and dryer in the unit as well. Very cramped feeling, no balcony or hallways. but you get what you pay for and in 03, we hardly we paying 500 a month.
