Parke East Townhomes

I never did live at this apartment complex (thank goodness) but took all the steps towards living there.
The first day we went there, they told us there was a unit for rent and to bring a cashiers check but the next day that unit was gone (or so they said).
Then they said another would be ready in ~2 weeks. It was smaller but a better price so we took it. We couldn’t actually see the apt but they took us through a walk through of a «very similar» property but ours would have updated appliances and an open kitchen.
Well when we finally saw the apartment, there were some glaring differences between the two apartments.
1. The basement was covered head to toe in mirrors. It was like some sort of S&M room or something. And when we saw it, the manager just laughed and said «I hope you like mirrors». Didn’t even offer to fix it til we mentioned that we couldn’t live in a place like that. The fact that they didn’t tell us previous to the walk through about the mirrors was more irritating and deceitful than the mirrors themselves.
2. Appliances were NOT updated. When we mentioned this, they claimed they were less than 5 years old but they clearly were not.
3. Kitchen was NOT open. They claimed they never said it was an open kitchen.
4. Apartment was right at the pool. I told them I work weird hours at a hospital and need a quiet apartment. Obviously they ignored that request.
We luckily got out of the lease but they kept the 300 dollar cashier check. It almost seemed like a scam just to make a quick 300 cash.
My advice, if you can spend as much as they are asking a month, you can find a better deal on zillow or craigslist. We ended up finding an awesome townhome with an actual backyard (did I mention their «backyard» was a sad pile of rocks that two people could squeeze in?) and a great landlord.

Very unhappy. Staff is very rude, they interrupt when you are speaking. They are very hard to get ahold of as well. They are very slow to help with problems.
AC did not blow cold basically all summer.
Would never recommend
