Bennington Apartments

Every year they raise the rent and charge almost $ 100 extra for sewer, trash and water. Apartments are old especially the appliances. The management is rude and somewhat dishonest. The grounds are decent but not the safest place to live. Last year some drug dealer living in the apartment complex was shot by the police. Really not a safe complex.

Decent location, decent management, expensive rent for decent housing. Repairs happen only if you request it in person, requesting on the «resident portal» never seems to get anything done.
Just decent, and overpriced.

Worst place to live. The management sucks and they leave early and don’t ever do their job correctly. I’ve had nothing but problems living here. Old appliances that the maintenance works suck at fixing. Even corporate doesn’t help. I’ve found mold under my sink and all they did was paint over it. Half my windows don’t open up. My screens are bent. Extremely over priced place to live. I had my patio trashed by their contractors that left nails all over the place and saw dust all over my patio furniture, which my 5 and 6 year old could have stepped on. I’m tired of constantly having problems if I could break my lease I totally would. Too bad you can’t give zero stars because I wouldn’t give them anything. I’d never move here again or have any of my friends live here.

Sorry, not a safe place to live. Mailboxes get broken into every month which every resident is forced to go across town to the post office. There is no drop box in the office area nor are they ever they to help. The maintenance staff are great and will fix requests. The area and the security here are horrible. The security guard sleeps on the job and writes fake reports. Be prepared to get your car broken into.

My mother, who has an autoimmune disorder that limits her mobility, moved here this year from a hell-​hole in Dixon. Initially I was very impressed with this place when I came to visit her. She was happy with the management and had nothing but good things to say about them. She likes her neighbors and said everyone she has met has been very friendly. It’s very close to supermarkets, restaurants, coffee shops, etc. She was very happy which makes ME very happy!
So why the lack of stars? Well, I went to get something out of her kitchen for her during my last visit and saw a few small roaches scurrying across the counter by the sink when I entered. I told her she needed to notify management about the problem and she said that she did and they were going to have pest control out to take care of it within a few days.
It’s been a week (possibly longer, I’m not entirely sure) and I’m here right now. Pest control hasn’t been here and I kid you not when I say they have gotten bigger. I saw one run from behind her microwave and it scared the hell out of me. I’m refusing to enter her kitchen. You would think they would put a priority on roach extermination, especially since the property looks very clean and maintained.
In addition to that, while I like the fact that washer and dryers are in her apartment for her to do her laundry, they are rather outdated and the dryer takes a ridiculously long time to dry clothes. It took about three hours to dry two towels and some shirts on high heat. This really isn’t a deal-​breaker, though. The convenience of an in-​home laundry station vs. community is enough to satisfy.
Fix the roaches and give me the impression that my mother’s health and comfort is as important as you collecting her rent money and I’ll give you your stars — otherwise I really can’t recommend this place.

I would say that this place is one of the better apartment complexes in Fairfield. I was a bit hesitant at first to rent here, however we are 4 months in, and I am pretty happy. They are very reasonably priced for the area, and the service is very good. Moving in was very easy. Apply, Sign Papers, Give deposit… it was that easy. The apartment was very clean, and everything works properly. We had an issue with the fan in our apartment, but they fixed it upon notification.
Before I moved in I was also worried about the noise and neighbors. However it is very quiet at night, and most people that live there are hard working middle class. No riff raff which is really nice.
Try this place out, you will be very happy.
