Tessera

Current resident, not the fanciest place but overall everything is good. Neighbors aren’t loud and parking is getting better. Wish the office was opened on Sundays to watch football, but that’s ok (: overall a pretty good place to live in for a bit less!

The management is horrible, and the office is often closed during their office hours. So, if you want to pick up a package after work, good luck because, while office hours are until 5, the place is closed for the night when you get there at 4:30. That also means that you can not use the exercise center either. The manager is rude and dismissive, doesn’t come to work most days, and when she is there will often be laying on the couch in the office. Seriously. Work orders are ignored, the grounds are not kept clean and maintenance is a total joke. There is a new parking policy, which we need, but they have not worked out the details to make any sense. And good luck trying to talk to the office about it, because they don’t bother to show up for work.

Current resident and I wouldn’t recommend on anything other than budget.
The pet rent is just for profit apparently. They don’t ever stock any pet station bags. I, myself, have stocked it more than the complex has since I moved in two months ago.
The lawn is either a swamp or a dry brillo pad. No in-​between. And the lawn service doesn’t check anything before moving, so watch for flying debris and rocks.
The parking rules are never enforced. Not only is there not enough of it, so it’s full by dinner time, but the carports are commonly taken by people not paying for them. Which discourages people who do pay for them. The «no backing in» rule is never followed. Security is a joke. And the carports are flimsy tin that will collapse on your vehicle with a snow dust.
The renovation is cheap, with limited storage, scratches, and shady craftsmanship. My dishwasher is busted but since I did not notice it within two days, I cannot have it fixed without blame on me.
My shower rod is too high, letting water fall everywhere when I shower. The washer and dryer are very basic and will ruin your laundry.
The staff ignores all requests unless it directly benefits them.
Noise is a big issue. Noises apartments I’ve been in. Neighbors are all extremely loud. The walls are thin.
Dirty walkways. Spiders everywhere. Lights constantly broken and out. Food and garbage on the ground.
Basically, it’s the cheapest thing not on casino that is somewhat presentable. But it sucks. Rent with caution.

I think 3 maybe 2.5 stars is the right amount to give this place. I lived here for a year and do not plan on renewing my lease. The apartments themselves look nice at first and they are but they are not well built. They are very cheap. The grass is a swamp. Some of the other residents are very loud at times. This place is a good stepping stone place if you don’t have enough money for another apartment but I wouldn’t want to live here for longer than I need to.

I am a current resident of Tessera, I would not recommend this place to my worst enemy. Originally when I moved in, I understood the renovations that were happening here and the reasons for the prices provided. During the time here I have found that the residents all in all are very nice to each other. During the summer, you have children playing and it can get a little intense (swearing, screaming, running a muck) After being here for two years, I have seen the office staff come and go. When I 1^st moved in I dealt with Robin and Whitney (that team was great) things got a little shaky when Robin left the company and Whitney took over. She tried her best with the property and overall did a good deal in resolving basic needs and issues from billing to maintenance fixes. You always felt that going to the office was a friendly environment. Recently, Whitney left to another property and I wish her the best.
Now things have gone to alright to WTF. Parking spots are still hard to find (that is pretty much everywhere) I have always had a carport (so no complaint there).
My household back in July of 2014 went through a rough patch, Our primary income maker lost her job. I personally stop going to school and went back to work in order to try to make up for the lost in pay. we started to struggle when it came to the extras that are very sneaky worded into our lease. this company bills you for W/​S/​G which at times if the complex/​building is not full can run up to 90 dollars per month. Before, there was a straight pet deposit with no pet rent, 200 per animal and 200 deposit. then out of no where the complex moved to a pet rent of 15 per pet (30) a month I have two cats. So instead of give long time residents (over a year) their funds back they state to you that you will get that back at the end of your lease. Ok fine. Recently I have found that going to the office is a fight right off the start. Tonya since Whitney left has become power hungry and plain rude. if you ever have issues don’t go to the office if you have a problem you will get your head chewed off. Back in Oct i started to have seizures and was told it was epilepsy and was out of work for 3 months. Now I a finally allowed back to work but, currently in an eviction process here with the company and even today I was told that even though I will have all the funds to resolve the eviction process that she will not except the money due to the fact that it is not the whole amount owed to the company. So my eviction notice states that I owe $ 1035 which we have and due to the fact that we are behind they throw on a $ 100 dollar late fee as well as $ 85 dollars for just calling their lawyer to prepare the paperwork not even filing with the courts (this bullying tactic is done so much is kinda sad really) I tried to explain to even their corporate office and never have received a call back, even called their so called lawyer and same thing. If you have a question all you get is I will look into it, and now its I have to contact corporate. I am a former U.S. Army Solider and I say this to any service member looking for temp leases DON’T LIVE HERE THE HAVE NO RESPECT FOR FORMER SERVICE MEMBERS.
on a plus side… The issues here when it comes to maintenance are strange at best, They seemed to be staffed but most times the only one that seems to know what they are doing is Rick. He seems so over worked I feel for him. He is always courteous, respectful and if he can’t get the job done, he goes above and beyond to find what he needs to get things right for you. The other guys speak barely any english and at one point seemed to be creeper status when it came to the women that live with me.
Like I said before I wouldn’t recommend this place to my worst enemy. If you have the money look else where. It’s just not worth it here!
