The Oaks At Weston

Location is great, however management has changed at least 3 times since we moved in in Feb 2015. With each management change, they have issued new «resident rules» Current manager didn’t even call me back regarding an issue– he sent me an email and basically told me that I didn’t have an option regarding my issues. It was very inconsiderate– he didn’t seem to even want to pretend to be interested in my concerns and issues. Finishes inside the apartment are very cheap and not very well done– the paint in our kitchen has worn off just from normal cleaning (just with soap and water and within a couple of weeks), there are cracks in the walls, the dryer has never really worked properly. Maintenance is normally very quick but they make a mess and don’t bother to clean up after themselves. Also we have had to call maintenance for the same issue on multiple occasions since they failed to check their work at the end to ensure it was completed correctly.

We lived here from 2013 to 2015. The earlier office staff was good and friendly. But the new staff is arrogant and rude. Recently, they came up with a dumb idea of upgrading the apartments. The upgrade consists of only changing appliances. In return, the rent will be increased to almost $ 1200.
So effectively you will be paying almost $ 200 more. You can easily find a 3 bed townhouse in almost same rent. Moreover, they will charge you hefty water bill. I was paying more than $ 100 per month.
The apartment community is nit so good. Most of the apartments have low sunlight, improper ventilation and poor insulation. Parking is always an issue, only one dumpster which is always overflowing.
In all, you can find a better place to live in less rent.

The staff is really nice and the grounds are beautiful. However, we were informed that the carpets are only replaced every 5 years, which is actually pretty disgusting. We had a couple of juice stains from our toddler when we moved out and they made us replace the entire apartment, even though some of the rooms were not stained. They told us the carpet wouldn’t match up if they pieced it together. Also, the first floor is very convenient, but it attracts tons of bugs. Despite having their exterminator come out numerous times, we constantly had bugs (giant spiders) due to gaps underneath the front door. Unless you have no pets/​children and live on one of the higher floors, I really wouldn’t recommend this apartment.

I lived here for almost three years and if I didn’t move out of state, I’d probably still be here.
