Park Lane Apartments

This is the worst place to live in the central west end. Management is a night mare. Totally unprofessional people who are not willing to help at all. The building is old and they even don’t put effort into fixing that. They paint everything in the apartments with a paint that will come off after a month or two showing all the rust and dirt beneath. Their new renovated unit are a piece of crab. Don’t go there for the price, you can still find a decent place to live nearby with a comparable amount of money. If I can give a zero rating I will definitely do.

My experience at Park Station…
1. A person was MURDERED in my building.
2. I had my apartment broken into, 2 laptops, iPad and gaming consoles were stolen
3. My friends tires were slashed while parked out front
4. Receiving mail was a problem
5. The safety concerns I addressed about the first level door being broken and always open
6. The gate to ‘secure’ gated parking lot was constantly out of order, making me late for work.
7. Trash everywhere!
8. To break the lease was suppose to cost each me and my roommate $ 1,050, they are trying to rip us off by claiming we owe $ 1,430.
9. Furnace broke down all the time
10. The first floor one bedroom had silver fish
11. Unfinished drywall in the bathroom.
12. Leaky faucets.
13. The promised updated kitchen that was never finished.
14. Management was the worst
This place is disgusting. I lived there for a year. There is trash in the stair well exists and entrances, I don’t mean liter; I mean dirty diapers and rotten food, like full bags of trash. When I asked them to fix the doors to make them more secure, they ignored my request. Six months later an 18 year old kid was murdered in the building. The bloody scene was left in the stairwell for 4 days before they cleaned it up. When I expressed concern with the murder, they told me that murders can happen anywhere, «some one could just as easily be murdered in a Taco Bell parking lot.» and then attempted to play down the murder by saying that the boy didn’t actually die in the building, «he died in the ambulance.»
When I reported the break in that took place in my apartment the police officer told me that over the past couple years several break-​ins have occurred and that she suspected the maintenance crew was connected, which makes sense since there was no forced entry and the culprit had to know where the breaker room is, because they shut my power off before breaking in. I had to throw everything in my fridge away. The gated parking lot gate would always break; making me and my roommate late for work in the mornings. But parking on the street I learned was not a good idea after my friend’s tires were slashed.
The management can try and down play all of the seriousness of these problems, but the facts speaks for themselves.

Do not live here.
Starting with management, they are barely there. They probably come in once in a while during a random time in the day. If you need anything, freaking hard to reach them. Sometimes they’ll take packages, but it’ll basically become trapped if they’re not there.
Maintenance is terrible. No other way to describe them. Extremely difficult to get them to come in. When they do, can’t say they do the best job.
The building itself is pretty old and run down. Carpet is paper thin. Windows are old and basically put up no fight against the heat or cold. Summer time is basically a sauna and winter is basically an ice box. Water pressure is nearly non-​existent for the showers. You get a few nice streams to work with. None of this is an exaggeration. And the list can extend further and further.
Bottom line: What you pay and what you get do not match up at all. There are many places with comparable prices in the CWE that you’d be much better off in.

I lived at this apartment complex for almost a year. My roommate and I had an awful experience here.
I would NOT let anyone I know live here, that is for sure.
The management is subpar at best. The apartment itself is rundown and certainly not anyone’s idea of ‘home’. It takes management a long time to fix any problem unless you pester the heck out of them. We had two air conditioning units in our apartment that had MOLD in them. It took numerous calls and complaints to get this fixed.
A radiator also broke while we lived there and made one the bedrooms 90 degrees in the middle of winter. Again it took them far too long to fix this problem.
Breakers are always going off and the power gets cut off because it is an old building with bad wiring. You share power with certain units and heaven forbid someone blow dry their hair because all of the power will go off.
I could go on and on about the problems I had living here. Basically, there are SO many places you can live in the CWE, DO NOT LIVE HERE!
