Ashford Meadows Apartments

The management and staff are ridiculous. I came in two weeks ago and arranged my schedule for my second trip to the area as I was advised by the leasing staff that a 2 bedroom will be available to view this week. As I arrived today, I went straight to the apartment complex to view and my welcome by the staff was unpleasant, unprofessional, sarcastic and snappy. It felt that as a possible future Tennant that I was a bother that I was interested in there complex. While I was sitting and waiting for the agent to gather information I can hear the property manager on the phone speaking to residents as they were children and her professional demeanor and unprofessional attitude felt that I had entered the projects in the way her language began to come out of her mouth. I am glad that while sitting there it dawn on me to research reviews of the complex and I must admit and agree with all the bad reviews are 100% and understand why the staff are rude is because of the actions the property manager treats the guest, residents and staff in her no manners demeanor or no professional ethics in running a large complex. Pictures are out dated and property is not well maintain.

I lived here for two years. When I was actually looking to move in I was promised my kitchen would be remodeled, since I was concerned with the old look. This didn’t happen, though they have remodeled apartments available now. I listed and asked for repairs when I moved in such as burns on my counter, missing floorboard, stains etc and it never happened.
Loud. The complex is loud day and night. In my building large families lived in small units. They continued to let their children play in the corridors and streets as well as the parking lot. The sound carries through the hallways and up through the balconies. Groups congregated outside to smoke and socialize and the sounds carried. Not quiet.
Dirty. From the mail area to the corridors it’s just dirty or broken. The age is showing here. Solicitors leaving postings and ads flying around. Trash pickup comes to your door but they charge an arm and a leg for it and your neighbors may leave theirs out all day. Dumpsters are disgusting. Often finding empty dumpsters because everyone just drops bags off around. Oh, and those large groups outside socializing often left trash and food laying around. Very strong food smells from other apartments coming through the pipes.
Bugs. When I moved in there was a roach problem but they addressed as soon as I complained and corrected the issue.
I had my wreath stolen off my door three times. My car broken into twice. Now, it can happen anywhere in a parking lot but cars are not respectful (the same ones, not all cars) and park on top of your car. I have a few dings to show for it. You can pay extra for a garage.
Parking. I think with large families with many adult members staying in the same apartments, parking could be a challenge. After 9pm you may need to park a distance away or on the main road.
My compliments to maintenance. They were great.
Rent is very high for what you receive. There are new and nicer places where you get more amenities for the same rent or less. The gym is a small room with a few cardio machines so you’ll still want to join a gym. The pool was decent. Rarely anyone around.
I had rugs covering my carpet. No pets. I traveled during the week. I never used two of my rooms ever. My carpets were as clean as you could expect after two years. No stains. I was charged over $ 1000 after I moved out to replace since it was under three years. I felt as if it was a scam. Maybe it’s normal but in all my years I’ve never been charged anything after moving out– security deposit always returned.
