Park at Dashpoint Apartment Homes

If only I knew what I was getting myself into… It’s hard to explain how bad it is here. I suppose section 8 housing in Compton might be worse. Absolutely no parking. Loud kids (and a ton of them) all hours of the day and night. They have no respect, they won’t even move out of the way while you’re driving. Really shady people walking around at night. And I mean REALLY shady. For example the other night: It was 11:30 and I was pulling into the complex. I had just got off work. In front of me, walking towards me, was a man dressed in all red. He saw my car coming and walked in front of it so he could stare at me through my windshield. I was forced to park on the other side of the complex because of there being no parking. Walking back to my apartment i had a knife in hand. I made it to my front door and made it inside. I heard this man out my window screaming things like «im gonna find you n***er!» «Im gonna kill you motherf**ker». I cant stand this place. Not only is it terrible with noise, parking, the apartments problems, but now i have to be fearful of my life. Upon doing more research ive found that various crimes including murders, stabbings, standoffs, and even kidnappings have occured within the last five years. If you want to move here i highly suggest a loaded shotgun next to your bed, and a carry pistol for your person. However, there are some really nice bridges to live under in Tacoma that might be a better option for you. If zero stars was a thing they’d have earned it. Can’t wait for this lease to be over.

Our apartment flooded March 15 2015 and they dried the inside that is it. The floor needs to be repaired, and maybe the bottom of the walls. We don’t know because no one has come to inspect the damage. I also believe that there is mold under the siding on my back patio. I have voiced my concerns to the CONAM management team Nicole, Bennie, and Amy (the manager) and have been told that they are going to do nothing. I also have contacted the CONAM corporate office on Monday the 23^rd of March 2015. I am currently getting the run around from them. The park at Dashpoint is also not a safe place to live. Our apartment was broken into the first month we lived here, we’ve had things stolen from our back patio, vehicle’s get broken into all the time, it’s not safe to walk your dog at night, there’s never anywhere to park, they tow aggressively for parking where not supposed to. If you are planning on considering this place to live I would strongly recommend against it.

I am utterly amazed that this complex only has 2 reviews as I write this. I have only been living at this complex for 2 weeks now and I can tell you that I absolutely hate it already.
Where do I start? How about the prices. I haven’t been an apartment dweller for over 10 years and I was forced to become one again because the house that I was renting went to foreclosure. The price of each apartment at this complex changes on a daily basis! I’ve only heard of such a thing at a hotel. Do they think they are running the La Quinta here? Then while in the office filling out the application, another resident came in to renew their lease and they were charged that current days going rate for the following year. This means that your rent will go up, and could go up a lot each and every year!
I feel so nickel and dimed by this place that it’s ridiculous. $ 300.00 damage deposit per cat. Then $ 15.00 per pet rent for each cat. We have two cats so that’s $ 600.00 in deposits that are only 50% refundable and then $ 360.00 per year for the cats to live in the apartment. That’s a flippin’ car payment! The cats don’t even earn an income! I’m surprised they didn’t have to pass a background check. I don’t know when it started but renting an apartment no longer means that the water, sewer and garbage are included. If you rent here, be prepared to pay for those above and beyond rent and electricity.
I guess it’s standard practice now days but before this place would even hand us the keys, we had to purchase and prove that we had renter’s insurance. This blows my mind! The property is owned and operated by a corporation. That corporation has a giant insurance policy that covers their property and all of their interests on it. When I purchase renter’s insurance, the only thing I care about are my belongings or covering any accidental damage that I or my family may cause. The property management company requires that their name be on the policy.
Let’s put this in perspective, I live in a two story building that contains six units. There are multiple three story buildings as well but let’s say for sake of example that my two story building is completely rented. Now imagine that the building is demolished by fire, flood, tornado, tsunami etc… This property management company is going to cash in not only on their mega million dollar property insurance policy but on all six of the individual renter’s policies too! I’m not even sure that’s legal.
Now let’s talk about parking. What parking? They’ve built an enormous apartment complex with one, two, and three bedroom apartments that house families, large ones too from what I’ve seen. The complex was built quite far out of the way. Literally 12 minutes to get to I-​5 if you only hit one or two red lights and yet there is no place to park! Each unit comes with one spot but God forbid that you have two working adults with individual cars. The spots are numbered with random visitor spots spread out all over but good luck finding one after the evening begins. If you would like, you can be nickeled and dimed again for an extra spot. $ 25.00 per month uncovered and $ 45.00 a month covered however none of those are available either.
Talk about not enforcing the rules. When we signed our lease, it read that there is a 20 pound limit on all pets yet I’ve seen at least 5 or more full size dogs being walked in the complex so far. A black lab, a pitbull and other large dogs that I know weigh more than 20 pounds.
Moving on, if you don’t like kids, don’t move here! There are hundreds and they have no respect. They are noisy all hours of the day, they hang out in large noisy groups until the early am hours especially on Friday and Saturday nights. They’ve drawn all over my car with their fingers. I know my car is dirty but learn some respect! As well as noisy kids, the adults around here don’t seem to care about keeping it down either. Loud bumping car stereos all the time. So much domestic violence that the cops know people on a first name basis and it doesn’t matter what time of day it is either. I guess living on DSHS and not having to worry about getting up for work means that we all suffer.
I could go on and on and I probably will come back and update this review later but for now, if you’re reading this, keep looking. There has to be way better out there.

Adding insult to injury. Last night my sisters car was broken into just feet away from our apartment. They broke everything in sight and stole absolutely everything. I wonder how many other cars they hit. THIS PROPERTY NEEDS CAMERAS
