This Penue Sucks.

I lived at Meadow Creek 2 years back. It was horrible.At first my roomate and I moved in because the rates were decent. and the size was okay. But the grounds were just horrible and not well kept. it was unsafe and their parking garages are the worst. My neighbor actually hit my car because the spaces are so Siny. And for one month during their renovation when they were painting the exterior the painters decided that a good Penue to put their ladders was right by our bedroom windows. They wouldn't only sing but clank their ladders against the iron bars of our windows at 7 a.m. the mgmt did not reslove this or compensate us in any way.and we were rushed away rudely by their property manager. you would think that they have maintenance closets. Not only is the Penue run down but the complex is just not kept up well. The hallways smell like trash and there were always stray dogs and cats running around. I am now an assistant property manager and looking back i don't see how they even stay 50% occupied.I will never live anywhere with bars on the windows ever again. Compared to where i live now Meadow Creek is like the projects and their Gym sucks...i could basically go on and on

This apartment sucks!!!

The garbage room are always filthy. If you ask for a work order for your unit it will take them ages to fix it.

Where do I even start with this hell hole?

Pretty much what people are saying. There were drug dealers in front of the building and coming in and out constantly, all day and all night. There were addicts and transients following people into the building so they could sleep in the parking garage or in the lobby. grimy needles at the entry way. And of course, at least 3 AirBnBs being run just on my floor in my hallway, so strangers now have the code to get in, leave trash everywhere, and all you hear if you live in the front, are dozens of people a day dragging suitcases in the front and then down the hall. I had to leave for my own safety, and not only did they not give me my deposit back, to this day they claim I owe them money. I say everyone here gets in on a class action lawsuit.

cockroaches everywhere, can't wait to move out.

AVOID!

I've been living here for about a year. The mgmt sucks! They will promise you the moon, and deliver nothing! Repairs take forever! Jaquizzi has been broken for literally 6 months! My bathroom was filthy when I moved in... Broken garbage disposal... Poor water pressure... Leaky shower head... Expensive Laundry facility which isn't easy to get to ($2.50 to wash and dry one load! You have to buy your laundry card) the list goes on and on... They will raise your rent after the first year despite the bad economy and the numerous empty apartments! Look elsewhere!

Starting off with the apartment home that was rented. - Kitchen was pretty well done with those wooden trim pieces, good microwave and refrigerator. Living room was just the same as other apartment homes. - Bathroom is OKAY with some of the wooden pieces too. but, the ventilation air isn't working as well to suck in the hot steam from your shower, and as a result, Mold will grow. The tub was poorly built, even when you close the glass doors, water will still leak out from the corners. In addition, the tub was flat, which basically means that the water will stay and not flow to the drains, results in water stains or mold as well. - For the Bedroom, the only concern is the window, it's not build correctly as you can still feel the air blowing in when windows are shut. Because of that, we had mold growing as well. Maintenance/Cleanliness for the apartment - Head of maintenance: Jeff, pretty nice guy that helps you take care of things. but, being working in hundreds of rooms apartment, they don't have enough time to fix all the things. If something's not THAT urgent, you will have to wait. If something in your place is from an outside contractor, well, good luck getting it fixed. (Things that the maintenance people can't fix) - Place is a mess most of the times, leafs and trash along the hallway and hallway light bulbs are not replaced when its out. (There was one bulb that I have been noticing that has been changed for 3 months.) - BY THE WAY, apartment doesn't give warning on entering your home. They don't call or email you. Even if it's urgent that they have to enter to do some maintenance, they don't even let you know after. - To the famous Laundry room, where you will definitely make friends with......Roaches/cockroaches. I am certain that the staff knows about it, but the problem never get fixed. IF you still decide to live here, hopefully you don't bring the clothes back cleanly washed roaches with your laundry. Plus, the washer/dryer are poorly maintained and grimy. Some resident just don't give a #### about anything, but still, its the apartment's job to keep it clean. (I have seen vomits inside the washer) - Oh and if you have to use the public BBQ, use it in the morning, never at night. The BBQ pit area is poorly lit that you won't be able to see much and especially not being able to see if there's roaches running around the pit. Parking at the apartment - Most of the resident will have ONE parking spot while some may have 2. Just depending on your luck. - While parking your car ain't much of a problem, but There's one thing that has always been happening. Water leaks, even worse when there's rain, there will be a swimming pool in the garage. Good luck for not having a pipe that's leaking right on top of your vehicle. Apartment does send people in to have it fixed, but, ..... still leaking at times. Staff in the apartment - Alice, the apartment manager - Overall, they are really nice and helpful. They hold events sometimes for the residences and even give out prices as well. - But note to the apartment staff, instead of sitting in the office chatting, try walking around the apartment and find things to fix/do. In conclusion, I won't be recommending anyone to this apartment based on the following - grimy laundry with Roaches - Entering your homes without permission. - grimy hallways and trash areas, infested with roaches and other pest that MAY enter your home as well.

Stay far away

Lets sum it up...... <br> <br>Managment: Incompetent and uncaring. <br> <br>Safety: Completely unsafe, 1 murder in building, multiple muggings in front lobby, multiple break-ins from back, but the mgmt won´t make things more secure, multiple cars broken into, security staff are a lie (You've gotn´t any no matter what the mgmt tells you). <br> <br>Maintence: Again, incompetent and uncaring. They don´t fix anything ever. The front door lock to the building was broken soon after the murder and they did not fix it for a month and a half despite multiple requests. <br> <br>That should be enough of a warning, though I could probably continue to rant for a long time.

My husband and I moved in a few months ago and so far so good. We have had a couple things come up and they were taken care of. We did see the reviews online after we moved in about bugs so we have our apartment regularily sprayed (for free) just to be on the safe side. We picked this place because it was close to both our jobs - downtown and hollywood. It's an older building but it was more cost effective then the more "upscale" places. They also took our dog which was a huge plus. Overall, we are content.

Avoid This Place at All Costs

The pricing is steep compared to other buildings in the neighborhood. The back elevators frequently break down and are out of service for extended periods throughout the month. My unit was maintained meticulously, and I even hired a legit steam cleaner several weeks prior to my departure. Despite this, the move-out cleaning fees were unreasonable and excessive. The water pressure throughout the place is disappointing. I had an unexpected job relocation to another state while still under contract. mgmt refused to permit subletting and made the process incredibly difficult. also, breaking the lease is simply not an option under their terms. Make sure you understand this restriction before signing.
