Pinecone Apartments

I have 2 kids under the age of 5 and this place is not family friendly at all. The people moving in are trashy. There are too many dogs and their owners don’t clean up their crap, so the poor maintenance guys have to do it whenever they get the chance (which isn’t often enough). The walls and floors are poorly insulated, so you can hear when people shower, watch tv, talk loud, etc. People also smoke indoors and the smoke seeps into surrounding apartments. When I complained about it and how my kid’s room smelled like cigarettes and pot, they front office didn’t care. My kids can’t play outside because of the dog feces and cigarette butts all over the place. And in the summertime, they overwater the grass, so the grass gets marshy and stinks extremely bad and brings in mosquitoes. The parking is terrible. Don’t expect to find parking after 5 pm or at most times during the weekend.

A nice comfortable place to live. Very close to doctors, dentists stores etc. there is a playground, park, and school. Maintenance isn’t always the quickest or the easiest to work with but the people in the office are always friendly.

I came here for a showing recently and was sold on a 2 bedroom ground unit that was «like» the one that was staged perfectly as an example. I was really looking forward to opening those two sliding doors in the summer and feeling the breeze…
When I went to put in an application and move forward with signing a lease, I was told there were no 2 bedroom apartments available. It would have been nice if the leasing agent was aware of this before we went and did the tour of the place… The fresh baked cookies were nice though and the hot tub did look very appealing.

If I could give it 0 stars I would. Parking sucks. The maintenance people are lazy, my screen door, smoke detector, washer/​dryer all have been neglected by my requests. The management are clueless, inconsiderate and poor communicators. The pool is always broken or being cleaned. I think they just shut it down so they don’t have to clean it too much because it never is clean. Also, my last issue/​word of advisement that I can think of, when we first moved in there was an issue with the mail. We weren’t receiving any of our mail. Turns out that even with a previous address change, if the mail woman isn’t told that the unit mailbox has residence she will return all the mail. NEVER EVER have I came across that, and the post office blames the appartments, saying Pinecone complex specifically has these issues because the management is supposed to update them and they don’t. The mail lady was putting little blue slips in the vacant boxes but then the management would go take them out. The mail lady then claimed to give a stack of the blue slips for new residence to fill out to the management to hand out. Which they aggressively denied. I was within the 30 days to move out and they were supposed to CALL ME with info on the process. I recieved an email with the info a day or two before my chance to move out was gone. No one ever called me and I have been a thing in the past to anyone in the office but I HATE it here. 1400 $ + utilities!!! No where near are we getting our dollars worth! Steer clear of this place and someone please come rescue me from these ignants. Oh and PS. There have been many many break ins and vandals. And the parking passes don’t mean a thing. No one is ever towed, maybe a plus for them, but people that actually live here and need to park blocks away would appreciate it. As well as all the scarce parking (I intend to look into parking lot codes) the garages are another 80 $ a month. With the capacity limits in the parking lot, they should be giving those out for free to fix the problem. Oh no. Thay would be a tragic loss of money for those greedy grubs in the office !

NOT FAMILY FRIENDLY. Parking lot overtaken by oversized trucks, grass overtaken by large dogs and their shit. Sidewalk and entryways flood with heavy rain and snowmelt: no gutters and poor landscape and they water that grass no matter how much rain we get.
Pool generally closed because of broken beer bottles; hot tub generally down because of pump, heater or bubble bath. They refuse to put decent, keyed access around the pool.
Prop. mgt. merry-​go-​round that always brings higher rent.
Current maintenance guys are good, but overworked. Hard to say anything about current office staff because they are different every time you go to the office.

Nice apartments and very friendly staff. However, the complex seems to have gone downhill after the new property owners took over. The pool and hot tub is constantly out of commission. They used to have fresh baked cookies for the tenants, but they have really cut back on those (quality and quantity) and they’re usually gone by late morning. On top of that, tenants now have to pay for water, which was just included as a flat rate in your rent before. Also, their thank you for renewing your lease for the same amount of months is increasing it by $ 50! I would look elsewhere.

I have been renting from the Pinecone about 9 months. I am renting a 2br 2 bath unit with a garage. This place is great! The office staff is helpful and tries to keep their tenants happy.
The apartment is clean and very quiet. The pools has been nice but is outside so only open seasonally. The hot tub is open year round.
The apartment also has a garage option that works great for me for storage.
The apartment also does short term lease as wells as month to month after that lease. That has been a great option while I am looking at t a house and not sure when it might close.
The pinecone does both Cable and Satelite and I tried to do Satelite but the deck didn’t allow for the equipment to be setup. The apartment doesn’t allow for any mounting on the building itself, so I had to go to cable.
I would recommend the Pinecone to anyone looking for a great location, with easy access to a park, bike trails and close to a lot of shopping and activites. The Pinecone has a nice workout room and its a great property for the money.
