ActivSpace

I was here for a few years, we barely used the facility, overall we were ideal tenants.
They had some really shady ways of screwing us out of our $ 500 security deposit though…
When we originally rented the garage style unit it was unpainted, the manager said if we would accept it unpainted (it was just bare sheetrock) then when we left we wouldn’t need to paint it.
They raised the rent like clockwork, but that’s fine, it’s business after all.
After over 3 years we decided to leave since we were barely there. Before doing so we double checked with the manager on the paint situation. Two different managers told us not to worry about it, there would be no charge.
Then a month later we received a bill for $ 550! (It somehow cost $ 550 to paint a tiny 8×14 room?!?)
Well they kept our security deposit.
I reached out to the management office about the situation and they replied with a surprisingly hostile letter basically saying screw off and don’t try taking legal action.
They headache wasn’t worth the $ 500 so I guess they won, but it definitely left a bad taste in my mouth.

I was skeptical at first with a lot of hesitation due to not so good reviews of other ActivSpaces in the area. My experience so far has been fantastic. 3 months in! So happy I decided to take a leap and rent a space.
The property manager Mark, was very friendly, professional and helpful through the whole process. While I was in the process of making the right decision rent or not… many questions were asked– during the tour and in addition to plenty of phone calls from home. The application process, rental agreement and introductions to the ActivSpace went very well.
I would say the toughest part was getting my internet. Comcast failed to do the job correctly the first time due to a incompetent technician. I do recommend calling the Local Comcast sales rep instead of the 1 – 800 number. He knows how the internet phone lines are set up.
Sprint cell service is not good at this location, calls are dropped however texting works fine although your roaming. Recently, I discovered when I plug my phone into a speaker system to play the radio… I get cell service. So I am able to talk on speaker phone.
All my office neighbors are very friendly & respectful too. Parking is tight and not a whole lot of spaces but I’ve been lucky to get a spot every time as people are coming and going all the time.
The bathrooms are cleaned daily and well stocked. Once, I called Mark due to the soap being all used in the ladies room with good resolve– it was replenished quickly. The quick response to the issue was wonderful!
Heads up –you have to stay 6 months to get your full deposit back, which I plan on doing & if needed– paint with the color/​brand they want which is clearly stated in the contract.
The other property manager is Dave, who is also very professional, friendly & helpful. I highly recommend visiting ActivSpace if you are looking for that work space away from home to get things accomplished. You may be surprised… I know I was! Thank You to Mark & Dave & of course ActivSpace!
