Somerset Park

Overall, Somerset Park is a decent living experience, but the «sound proofing» between units is awful. God help you if you have noisy neighbors.

This was a great place to live but once it changed management it went down hill. We moved in October 2011 under Lincoln Property and they were fantastic!
Soon after it switched to Home Property management. Not only did our rent, after living there for 3 years, continue to rise (almost $ 100 this past year alone) but the staff in the office continuously prove they do not care about the people who live there.
One time, our puppy ate something toxic off the lawn at the complex. He got extremely ill. Since there are other dogs and children in the complex we felt as if the office should be aware. The woman was immediately on the defensive. We were not blaming them we wanted to give them a heads up. However, I was told — «we never told you this was a safe place to have an animal».
There were also chewing tabacco pouches, glass, trash and cigarette butts all over. Even though we told the office aboit those.
Another thing that was poorly taken care of was the gym. Do not let the photos fool you. Everything was usually broken or dirty… very dirty.
Over this past summer one of our bikes was also stolen. Again, not blaming the complex just letting them know, we told them and they couldnt care less. We felt like a notice should have gone out to the residents since a lot of them, especially one the first floor, keep things on their balcony.
It is really a shame that this place went down hill so fast. They could certainly use someone in the office who is actually friendly and at least pretends to care about resident concerns. When we told her we were thinking about leaving, again after 3 years, she told me I could hand my letter to her right then. She didnt even attempt to keep us as residents.
We would have loved to stay. It was our home for so long and it would have been great to keep it that way. I think all people want is friendly staff and some indication they are being heard and that the staff cares. Being rude and brushing people off will never get anyone to stay there.
There are plently of other places right in the area to live.
