Sophia’s Place West

As of July 2015 Scotch Hills Apartments are under new management and the complex is now called Sophia’s Place West. The leasing office staff is pretty friendly and have fairly good communication, but we have had a lot of apartment issues since moving in. Within the first few months we had to have our washer, then dryer, then oven replaced. Plus, our dishwasher is awful but they have not deemed it necessary to replace it. Our biggest complaints though are with the new management company. When they came in they scheduled work without notifying the leasing office staff and so the tenants were not informed about a lot of work that started happening, including tearing down and replacing balconies without prior notice (so we came home one day and found out balcony furniture tossed on the ground and my wind chime was bent up in a heap several doors down from our apartment). The new management company also organized the removal of all the trees from in front of the building we live in. It took away a lot of the privacy we had and now we have a street light that shines directly into our bedroom window that used to be somewhat blocked by a lovely tree. The gym leaves a lot to de desired. There is one treadmill, one elliptical (which is in seriously bad shape) and some weight lifting equipment. The pool is very small and has very limited hours. Some of the recent work has made some good improvements to the outside of the buildings, but there is still a lot needed on the inside. Do a little shopping around if you are looking to move into the area because while there are worse places, there are also a lot of better ones.
