Crescent Arbors Apartments

The location is great! Close to everything.
Appearance: The apartment buildings are dated even when the interior received a makeover. The kitchen cabinets are nice. The kitchen appliances are fine. The linoleum flooring was applied over the older linoleum and you can see the older pattern coming through in shapes. The trim and doors are poorly painted. The light fixtures are dated and have not been updated. The caulking around trim, windows etc is poorly done. In the spring and summer months, ants repeatedly coming inside apartment can be challenging. The sliding doors are old. The carpet is cheaply made but clean and neutral. The outdoor deck/​porch is very roomy for an apartment. It makes a nice outdoor living space. Overall apartment upgrade quality is not good. I recommend they hire a qualified project manager to oversee the upgrade projects if still finishing other apartments. The outward appearance of apartment buildings and grounds is good and well maintained.
Price: I don’t think it’s appropriately priced for the age of the place. The manager increases rate as soon as lease period is up. Roughly $ 40 – 65.00 increase in monthly rate each time lease is up. I believe Increases are based on area and out of their control. However, I doubt new tenants pay 1350. — 1450. a month. At first.
Staff: I can’t hold manager responsible for the increases because I do not know how these are truly measured. The other ladies working in office do a great job. Very nice people.

Very incompetent staff… the manager thought it would be a good idea to renovate the pool during the summer. Disappointed that I’m paying over $ 1,000 a month and we’re not able to use the pool.
Also, the grounds are invested with cockroaches. Disgusting! Don’t live here.

The people living at Crescent Arbors Apartments are really nice and the apartments located within the complex are charming and the setting is lovely, lots of trees. I’ve not experienced bugs inside and the apartments are sprayed with pesticide I think quarterly. There are lots of pluses. But for me, personally, they are outweighed by negatives. While it’s true that small repairs are often taken care of within a day or two, larger repairs (i.e., ventless fireplace) can take months. The heat pump feels like it pushes around cold air (other residents have confirmed this as their experience also) and it can take hours to raise the heat in an apartment and depending on the direction the apartment faces, if North, for example, in really cold weather, the SINGLE PANE windows form condensation, then ice INSIDE! A maintenance person has said to me that the condensation can turn to mold, and «if it gets really bad, they’ll replace the window». So this is the good and bad of it. It’s a matter of personal preference, priorities, and in general what’s important to any one individual and a weighing of those considerations. I make this review only because had I known some of this (I of course had checked other reviews but none pointed out the above) and I think potential renters should know as much as possible. Again, the residents are a fantastic group of people.

This apartment community has recently been upgraded but don’t let that fool you, ITS LIKE PUTTING LIPSTICK ON A PIG, YOY STILL JUST HAVE A PIG! With my time at Crescent Arbors apartments I found the only thing good to say about them is well, that I no longer stay there! The apartment situation with the infestation of bugs weren’t bad enough the way the office staff treated UR concerns about the crawling creatures was quite unprofessional. As a matter of fact everytime I had to speak with them it was like they were a deer starry into the headlights of a moving car! DA !! Don’t waste UR valuable time of living my staying with them, YUCK!

Unless you like living with the contents annoyance of roaches, ants, vermin and the worst excuse for an apartment manager, I would be looking elsewhere, a card box under an under pas would be better standards of living than this poor excuse for a supposedly apt. comm. this is suppose to represent, NASTY
