Entrada Di Paradiso

This is a garbage complex, full of garbage people. It honestly doesn’t even deserve one star. The apartment might look fine enough on the walkthrough, but you’ll find over the first week of living in it, that things are broken and falling apart. Closet doors off track, and even after maintenance coming in, it’s still broken. Regular doors don’t fit correctly either. Your appliances will probably need replaced right away. People don’t clean up after their dogs. I’d be shocked if I actually saw someone pick up afterwards, that’s how bad it is. Within a few months of living here, there were multiple shootings, causing the entrance to be completely blocked off. People have no sense of respect, as far as keeping noise down. Kids running all over, making messes of rocks on the sidewalks. Office workers are incompetent. Mailman constantly messes up. You will see tons of letters just left sitting out, because people will find your mail in their box, and just leave your mail out in the open. Hello, identity theft. You will be miserable living here. There has never been a bigger misnomer, ever, than there is calling this cesspool «Paradiso.»
If you hate peace and quiet, if you are a gang member, or if you just like being surrounded by trash, this is the place for you.

This property or management don’t deserve even one star but Unilocal asking for it so I gave one… we use to live here couple years back, it was really nice and clean. …never had any problems. .for small things they use to fix that right away. …then we moved to different state and when we came back we choose to live in ‘entrada di Paradiso’…bad decision. .no more cleanness, so many pets, people take them anywhere in the morning and don’t even clean it from in front of anyone’s apartment building because of that it smells bad… air conditioner is so old that makes really big noise and because of that u also get high electricity bill too… this management is start with beautiful girls and end with it. that’s it…

Entrada di Paradiso could clean these problems up. someone will have to let me know

Eva, the rental consultant was a great help. She was kind, patient, and understanding. I would refer my family and friends to you property anytime!

Lived here for *almost* a year, until I opted to pay-​out to break my lease. I do not recommend this complex… where do I start?
Maintenance doesn’t respond to service requests. I had a maintenance request for the entire duration of me living there (10 months) and they never addressed the situation (shower door was installed BACKWARDS so while showering water would hit the shower door and it would drain all on the floor. Luckily I’m on the 2^nd floor but I’m sure the 1^st floor apartment now has black mold from it).
Shootings. A lot of them. Just google «entrata di paradiso shooting» or «entrata di paradiso murder» and you will see numerous links to news articles where people were murdered inside the complex. While living there, there were at least 4 shootings which left the entrance marked off with yellow tape and cop cars everywhere.
Sorry, but my life is more valuable than saving a few bucks on rent.

I’ve been living here for over 3 years now. & I’m pretty satisfied w/​my experience. I’ve read some comments & read about roaches? That’s a lie. I haven’t seen a single one & I’ve moved two times here at Paradiso. I guess it all depends on how well one takes care of their appartment & I’m not even the type that cleans LoL! The only thing I don’t like is the awful stench that comes out of my sink. Supposedly is because I don’t use my dishwasher & it needs to be ran at least once a month. Other than that, it’s a pretty good place to stay. There is no assigned parking… so one gets to park where ever they want. The office has computers & printers one can use for free & I love the fact that one gets their own key to enter & leave the pool & that is really secure w/​cameras to prevent vandalism.
Yes, the walls in my appartment are a downside because I can hear music & arguing from people who live on the other side… but I try not to let it bother me since it happens rarely. The garages are $ 100 a month if one wants to rent… but I feel there is no need. I haven’t heard of a break in or vandalism plus we have a security guard day & night. The office staff is friendly. Mrs. Deedra & both Rebbecas are a joy. Maintenence is pretty good… they are prompt w/​service. I LOVE the fact that one can create their own account on line, to pay rent and ask for maintenence whenever needed. This way theirs no need to step in the office or go out of my way & loose time.
This place is dog friendly. Not a fan of dogs, but ehhh. Their are 3 pools in the property, really nice & clean… very well kept. I constantly see the workers doing their best to keep it that way. Rent is good for what is worth. We have a gate code and cameras on sight. On ulilities, one pays $ 35 give or take for sewage, garbage & water. The Energy bill comes separate & varies depending on how much one uses. Also, one must have renter’s Insurance… I got mine thru my bank wich is less than $ 20 a month. Hope I was a help to many. Have a good day everyone.

Moved here two months ago. Got two bedroom apt for 12 month lease… BIG MISTAKE… My toilette has been flushing automatically since the day I moved in. Maintenance seems not to know how to fix it. Numbers of complains filed — NO ACTION taken by management. Office staff is full of beautiful women but that is where it ENDS… Their PET policy is a JOKE… When I asked how strictly the pet policy is enforced — office staff laughed! I got answer and I quote «…as long as pet is under 75 lbs — they are welcome» So I said and I quote «…So if I get 10ft tall mountain lion or wild cat — it doesn’t matter as long as its under 75 lbs!» Shocking answer. «YES!!!» — When I asked, can you find out who has which pet because of the bread restrictions on — Shocking answer «…We have no way of knowing…» I suggested, well you have the details files on every resident, see their contract — who is paying for Pet Rent and ask them to let you know what type of animal they have and go from there… Everyone laughed and said, «We don’t have time. If you see something, ask them which apartment they are from and we will talk to them.» — So in other words, they want me to do their work — go to each apartment resident and ask if they have pet, and if so, what type off and return full report to office — THEN HOPEFULLY (Keeping my fingers crossed) they will take ANY ACTIONS! — New management is NOT GOOD — Previous management was so GOOD… Things were getting done… Policies were enforced… This place is waiting for a law suite by one of the tenets because of dog bite or something else… I am seriously thinking to break the damn lease and go somewhere they have NO PETS… Plus, people are not that nice… gang members and thugs are always hanging out… It is NOT Paradise… It is becoming HELL… Stay away from here if you are family person. Oh! To pay your rent online with credit card or debit card, they charge $ 25 FEE… This is ON TOP OF YOUR RENT… HELL NO!!!

Great at first, then as the lease slowly came to an end it began to get unbarable.
Moved in on ⁸⁄₁₃ & the place seemed pretty kept, quiet and clean, little did I know that the walls were thin and I could hear all of my surrounding neighbors unless I had music/​tv playing as well as the extremely loud AC. Also, the refrigerator was emitting an extremely foul stench. I cleaned out the damn appliance 3 times, let the darn thing air out and finally gave up and called the office. Took a few calls but after a few days got a new refrigerator. (Small victory)
I would be willing to overlook the lack of parking spots after 8pm M-​F, the abundance of stray cats, and even the weed smoking, 3am loud sex ghetto neighbors, were it not for the ROACHES! Yes, that’s right, roaches! They did not appear immediately but a few months after I had moved in, which I found out from a neighbor that they too were plagued with these pests about a week or two after a downstairs apartment was bug bomed. (I guess they migrated to our apartements) I was not able to cook there anymore for fear of these nasty critters. The office did send pest control and I did see an improvement but they never followed up so I attempted to get rid of them myself, unsuccessfully of course. I will be moving out on ⁸⁄₁₄ & and went to the office on Monday the 4^th to personally deliver the last month’s rent and to schedule the walkthrough which I’ve never done since this was my first apt. I was immediately informed at the office that I needed to purchase a money order and add a late fee of $ 75 even though they allow you to pay until the 3^rd (which was a Sunday) or I could pay online for a fee of $ 30 + the late fee. Even though I’ve never been late in the past 11 months they still would not work with me even though I am unemployed due to being laid off.
There are probably a lot more things wrong with this place that I could list like the crazy lady the feeds the stray cats so that they will stay near her apartment, the rude black boy that works in the office but is only nice to women and promises things without checking first, the amount of simple repairs that are dismissed or forgotten. But I won’t bore you with a true story.

It was my worst nightmare !!! Yo have not parking spot after 8 pm the neighbors used to heard very loud music and nobody cares, if you need to fix you AC it is gonna take about one week so be prepare for melt… And when you finally move out and you think this is over… By the time that you are suppose to pick up your deposit security, you must feel lucky if they told you that you own money instead !! Don’t do it!!!

I was assigned housing here for a month while I worked in Vegas — the room smelled like an ashtray and the carpet was nasty. I can overlook many things but cigarette smoke/​smell is a pet peeve of mine. The «tenants» that lived above me throw their cigarette butts in front of my door. Recognize these are not condos (maybe at one time) but are apartments. I will not stay here again…

Entrata Di Paradiso as a name for this apartment complex is a humorously ironic stretch of imagination, at best… At worst, false advertising! «Entrata Di Inferno» would be much more accurate. The management team here seems to be «tenant selective» and highly inconsistent in their responsiveness to resident made maintenance and repair requests. I moved into my apartment here in July 2013 and as of April 2014 several repair orders that were approved at time of move-​in have not been competed, despite multiple follow up inquiries. A fairly major entry door frame and lock repair order approved in January has not yet been competed almost 4 months later… (I posted a photo) Yet several other repairs were made almost immediately after I requested them!
The Carpeting in my apartment was stained and dramatically over-​worn out at time of move-​in and looks disgusting and filthy despite multiple steam cleans. The AC is highly inefficient, consumes massive amounts of electricity and cools at marginal levels. Both BR Toilets are the lowest quality, crudely made, prone to leaks and loudest flushing fixtures I have ever seen, very third world! The first time I used the broiler in the oven, the insulation around the perimeter of the oven door caught on fire… I used baking soda to extinguish the fire and when maintenance repaired the oven they refused to clean out the oven or clean up any of the smoke damage caused by the fire.
Worst of all, the property managers of this apartment complex seem far more concerned with gossip, community drama, harassment by written warning notices taped to front doors, and passing judgement on various tenants throughout the compound, than they are on providing service to tenants or the upkeep, care and maintenance of the real estate assets that secure the development company’s investment in land and facilities… The only reason I am rating this apartment complex two stars is because I have seen far worse at other properties… I just can’t remember where!!! Maybe it was Newark or Camden, NJ.
