Preston Creek Apartments

The model apartment looked lovely but that’s not what you get. I would love it, if Unilocal had no Stars. This place would get it. Long story short… do yourself a favor… DO NOT MOVE HERE! Holes in walls, cigarette burns on sink, maintenance responds 24 hours later for a leaking sink (wrench was at the bottom of sink in a puddle) carpet is filthy, no fresh coat of paint, security gate stays open for weeks, gang members etc… whew! I’m done! I moved in 4 days to another place.

I’ve made a review here over two years ago, being unhappy with this place. Yes, I’m still here as boyfriend and I have no choice and no time on our hands to look around.
We thought our lease was up next month, so we were actively looking at apartments to get the heck out and move closer to work. The new management, as *nice* as they seem to be, are really inadequate with getting on top of things. Before management switched around, we were used to, as renters, to getting a notice on our door with a ³⁰⁄₆₀ day warning before our lease was up, enabling us to prepare for it. No note, but we thought we had to the end of December. Apparently no, and we were put on ‘monthly payments’ without much knowledge and no real effort in contacting us. They told us they tried calling, we never got calls. So now we are paying $ 100 over the normal rent which was already too much on our paycheck to paycheck living and put us in a pickle since we had to scramble to pay car tag renewal fees on top of raised rent. Almost $ 800 for a one bedroom, one bath. That is just ridiculous and tears have been shed over it. Could only afford two presents, which breaks my heart. That is aside the point.
Our car also got tagged. We had to be woken up at 3am, to go wash it while a cop shined a light at it.
Renters do NOT understand that you need to pick up your dogs crap when they go to the bathroom, our grass in front of our building is LITTERED in dog crap.
Two neighbors moved in recently to our building one month ago. A party twice a weekend every weekend so far. So loud, I can perfectly hear the lyrics to each song they play. Not too mention, the stink of weed lingers all over the place like a bad cold. One party erupted into an all-​out brawl outside, with screaming, yelling and who knows what else. We called the cops. We didn’t feel safe.
All in all, not the best place to move to. It’s mediocre in looks, parking and wall-​thickness. It is WAY overpriced. Management are slow to respond.
Here’s a funny, depressing fact too. They had a book club, what was the first book on discussion? 50 Shades of Grey. UGH.

From all of the research I did, these are the best apartments in the McDonough area.
After about six weeks of living here, I am very satisfied with my decision.
–The apartment is very nice.
–The other people who live here are, by and large, also very nice. There are, as can be expected, minor issues with some of them being a little bit noisy, but that will happen anywhere.
–I think the value here is unbelievable.
–The swimming pool is always clean.
–The maintenance guys are very helpful and do a good job of keeping things in order.
Really not many complaints. The locations is also wonderful (right by the highway with everything you could possibly need within five minutes drive.
The staff at the office gets extremely busy. They routinely do not answer phone calls, and it sometimes takes a couple of weeks to get a response about a problem in the apartment. While this can be kind of annoying, the problem is just that they are really busy. They work hard, which I recognize… but that is something you do have to deal with. It isn’t that big of a deal though.
I definitely suggest living here.
UPDATE– After being here for four months, it is still going great. No complaints. Easy choice. We’re thinking about moving next year, and one of the things I hate is that we’ll have to leave this place. I could honestly just live here forever. We live up toward the front– I don’t know about the back part of the complex. I’d stick to the front. Don’t want to have to deal with all those speedbumps. From the front, you can also easily walk to the mail boxes, QT (where you can rent movies at the Blockbuster machine), and even to Wal Mart. So convenient.
UPDATE 2: After ten months, this is definitely the best place we could have moved around here. It’s all been lovely. One suggestion is that they put a sidewalk in the front. The area could be so much more walkable. McDonough really doesn’t take walking into account at all. The «one bedroom deluxe» apts are a steal. They are essentially two bedroom apartments.
