Chestnut Farm Apartments

I have to say, I’ve met some nice people in this complex in passing. Some are very polite and respectful. But I have to say, I’m just so tired of the way this place is run. Rent increases that are almost the price of the brand new Axis at Lakeshore right next door. This complex is 12 years old. They still allow tenants to smoke in their rooms (existing tenants). We live next to one of those units and I can’t tell you how disgusting it can be when the residual smoke smell seeps through the walls and fills the unit areas (both bathrooms and the laundry room) with the worst smell. As someone with asthma, it has been sickening. What has management done? No sympathy, that’s for sure. They gave us a rental notice that our rent was increasing due to the end of the lease. It’s terrible. They wouldn’t even make an exception because we are next to a smoking unit.
The parking situation is a nightmare. They «advise» that those with a parking sticker park near the buildings and the visitors park away. That doesn’t happen. I see on numerous occasions, visitors parking where ever they want to. I mean, I don’t mind some days because I don’t mind the extra exercise, but still, shouldn’t residents have the spots before visitors?
One other thing I noticed… if you like the smell of pot smoke, go over by the dumpster area some nights. It is nasty over there. I lost count how many times I had to walk by that area and all I smell is that awful smell. Seriously, disgusting.
In my opinion, for the money they charge and the age this complex is, I don’t think it’s worth it. Find a place for your family that is healthy and sanitary. I feel like we will be moving, but not before I get a health inspector here first to show them how bad it is to have a complex letting tenants smoke inside. Way to go Chestnut Farm! Glad to see you care!
I will say there are some good things. There are great people, the layout is great for entertaining guests, and the maintenance guys are very friendly. I have reported the smoke problem a few times and they were over to help resolve the issues the best they could. Both of the guys that came by were smokers and they even told me they could smell it and that was saying something. Regardless, nice guys, friendly to talk to. I would not blame them for this complex being bad.

We are a military family currently living here in Chestnut Farm Apartments. We have been here for a year and we are moving very very soon. My experience living here wasnt all that bad, until i had a problem and management couldnt even attempt to help us besides some other experiences. Long story short, management is really bad. They wont listen to complains and wont keep their word. Manager had me waiting in a park with a newborn for hrs after she agreed to called me once they were done fixing the fire alarms, i never heard from her. If i had not come home to check i wouldve been there all day. Filed a complain because my new neighbors are very loud to the point where the doors and windows shake. Very politely i went to ask the woman if she could try to make less noise because i work overnight and cant sleep and the noise is extremely loud. She was very rude and shut the door on me. «Ghetto» people are starting to take over this «great living» apartments. People dont care and smoke in the playground even when children, not only theirs, are playing. Maintenance never pick up the phone, and they will not come to fix things even tho you call. They will leave the office early and you will not get your things fixed until 24 emergency line gets hold of them, THEN they will come at 9 10 pm to fix things. We are now moving to town home where we can live peacefully and most importantly QUITE and PRIVATELY. If you are moving to appts just keep in mind that not because you are living in appts OR have kids you have the right to disturb your neighbors. Be courteous and respect your neighbors! Good luck!
Ps. We never ever had any complains by any of our neighbors. We actually meet some very nice people.
