Abbey At Briar Forest

First let me start off by saying DO NOT MOVE HERE, IT WILL BE ONE OF THE BIGGEST MISTAKES OF YOUR LIFE. The office staff is so rude and unprofessional. They give you attitude and talk to you any way they like. It is always dirty with overflowing trash/​dumpsters. The porters are good for nothing. Trash bags and old food get thrown everywhere and the porters just walk right by like its not there. My apt has flooded 4 times since I’ve lived her and all they do is suck up the water, dry the carpet and shampoo the carpet. I have mold growing in my closet on the floor and the walls. I have made numerous complaints and I still have not got that resolved. I am so excited that my lease contract is about to expire because I’m getting far away from these crappy apts. Save yourself stress and do not even consider living her. It will be a waste of your money. Yes it may be cheaper than some of the apts around the area but just know you have been warned. They always want the rent on time but they can never fix anything. One night my breaker went off and all my lights went off. I called the emergency line and the guy on call said «its too late and I live too far, calm the office tomorrow» oh hell no. I don’t think so. It was only 9pm. I have children and food in the frig/​freezer. Why would he even think it was ok to say that? Believe me I bugged his butt off until someone showed up and fixed it. I waited 3 hours for someone and that’s only because I called every 15 minutes and I guess they got tired of me. The parking is horrible. I got off from work late one night and there was no parking spot anywhere near my apt. I had to park so far that it took me five to eight minutes to walk to my door sometimes I have to park outside of the apts on the street. There is so much crime here and walking around in the dark here is a death wish. I hate to park so far away from my door. Since I have been here there has been at least 7 robberies at gunpoint that I know of. There is so much more to say but I think I pretty much summed it up. Good luck on your apt search! I’m in the process of looking for new apts in the area too.

This place is truly a nightmare! Rats are in my attic and walls. Soon will be the third time if maintenance cares to come back out and find out where these rats are coming from via my bathroom. It gnaws at the bottom of my rest room door and pulls in and chew on whatever towel or shirt I have stuffed underneath. This has been an ongoing issue for almost a month now that we know of. It doesn’t have to be quiet or dark this rat comes out whenever it wants to. It actually did on me while sitting on the sofa wrapping presents and the life was scared out of me because this particular rat was 6 – 8 inches without the tail. This issue occurred for me because the apartments removed the large trash compactor in the back of the apartments where I live because the residents in the front complained of it being too far. Now they’re in the inside of my building walls and enter through my bathroom and try to get out whenever it wants to. Infestation boxes has been put on the outside but what about in the inside of the walls, nothing is even being done to lure them out! THE trash bin a few steps away from my apartment is always overflowing so no wonder they’re comfortable and just hanging out. I pay a pest fee for what? Pest control has never came to my apartment not once not even to put down any type of poison. Then to add insult to injury its almost January and I just received a I still owe note. I paid my December rent and utilities on time! By the time I get done these apartments will have a you owe note from me! DO NOT MOVE HERE YOU WILL DEEPLY REGRET IT!

I have had mold in my closet since November and they still haven’t solved the issue. Now they have stopped even trying, I stopped in and asked for the Manager to contact me that was a month ago and still no response. I have cleared my closet out and sealed it off and all my clothes have been in my living room for 3 months because that’s how long it has been since I was told that someone would be on their way to my apartment. It is honestly a good complex to live in until you need something out of the ordinary handled.

By far the worst apartment complex I have ever stayed in. But hey I guess you get what you pay for. The rent is cheap but no where near worth the conditions or the hassle it is to live here.
Let me start by describing the complex. It is an old complex that has been renovated. So the interiors are decent, not to shabby at all. But underneath the renovations is still the crappy old building that it used to be and still is.
Problem number one: Bugs. There are roaches everywhere! they say they have pest control and you get billed for it every month, but the roaches persist. For 6 months straight I had pest control come into my apartment and for 6 months straight I still had bugs. It is disgusting and embarrassing especially when I clean as much as I do.
Problem number two: Ghetto. There is no other way to describe it. The culture at this place is very ghetto. The people are rude, unclean, loud and just simply ghetto.
The pools are green and unusable more often then not.
No one cleans up after there pets and there are «landmines» everywhere.
The trash situation is absurd. The trash is constantly overflowing and spilling out into the parking lot.
The plants, shrubs and trees constantly look dead and awful.
The gates are useless because it seems that everyone doesn’t have a gate key and just waits by the gate to follow someone else in.
Another glaring problem is that every time you need someone in the main office it is a new person because the previous employee had quit. They have a bigger turnover in the front office then in the tenants, but i cant blame them because i would never want to work for such an awful place.
I do not have one good thing to say about this place, it is flat out awful. DO NOT LIVE HERE.
