Tenant Reviews for 4200 Scotland St

I moved in back in August for the location. I was kind of blindsided by the notice that the building sold/management changed, had no idea what to expect. Since the take over, I've been hearing about all kinds of upgrades, and they are FINALLY HERE! Right before Memorial Day we got new loungers at the pool, which was essential. They've recently painted the clubroom, tore out the old backsplash and awful red tile around the club/office, and I no longer feel like I'm living in a McDonald's (I'm lovin it). They brought new furniture today. Supposed to have a package room later in the month. I see them cleaning the carpets with a big machine, but it seems like some of the stains don't come out - they're just carpet tiles, so I bet they can be replaced one off. Just joined an evening softball league literally out the front door. It's a good summer on the way!

I've lived here for 6 months. I love hanging out in the park. I love being close to the Washington/Shepherd. My biggest gripe was having to hurry to the office to get packages, but they're building a package locker room now. New loungers for Memorial Day were great! The team has been very helpful, and I'm looking forward to the summer at Memorial Hills!

So I've been here almost a year now. The good: Amazing location, concrete build, cool neighbors The bad: Slightly dated (I think it was build around 2010), no smart house features, sometimes difficult to find Things started to go downhill last year, but new management took over at the end of December. It was like the old team gave up. I'm interested to see how the new management projects turn out - most interested in the package lockers since I am an Amazon fiend. The building is tucked back off Memorial Drive - which is a pro and a con - nice to have the privacy, but sometimes my Uber driver circles around for awhile. A lot of my neighbors have been here for years, so it's great to be part of a bigger community - I usually don't see my neighbors in other buildings.

Memorial Hills should be renamed Memorial Downhill. This last year, of my 4 years here, has been the worst...... 1) They got rid of the night security guard 2) The pool, although refurbished, is always filthy 3) The BBQ area is always litered w/ trash, bugs and caked on grease 4) Elevators are usually filthy and broken 5) Stairwells smell like urine and is usually dirty 6) Sensors on doors seldom to function right 7) Parking garage dirty and filled w/ non-resident cars that are abandoned 8) Hallway carpets are stained and random pieces of trash never get picked up 9) The water was shut down for 2 days (no running water or flushing toilets) 10) Pool parties each weekend, full of non-residents. I don't know what's going on here. This place went from luxury living to the slums. If the rent was chopped in half then I'd understand, but my rent is still 'luxury' rates. I don't plan on renewing my lease.

Last week we last water due to a pump issue. Water supply went down again this week to Scheduled maitenace over night however after 18 hours they have still not been able to provide basic sanitary living needs in the form of running water. I would not recommend anyone to live here with a complex that can't provide basic needs to go to the bathroom and shower. Go elsewhere in your apartment search this complex clearly doesn' t put priority on there residence basics needs.
