Boulder Creek Of Vantage

I have never lived here, and although they look gloriously beautiful, I’m not sure I’d want to based on the two conversations I’ve had with them… I called for information about a week ago for a two bedroom. We have been wonderful tenants here in this area for nearly ten years. We have never had a bad reference, late on our rent, thrown outrageous parties, or been in any violation whatsoever.
The first one went, fairly well, UNTIL I brought up subsidization. Pathetic. Then the call ended abruptly. Well, leave it to me and my computer research skills to find out that this little piece of the planet is owned and operated by none other than Brown Capital, Ltd. I also learned that they own Phoenix Place Apts, the ones that had been formally called Phoenix Place PROJECTS, they also own University Park Apartments.
It seems they are HAILED in our local government for providing subsidized housing to these areas, like poor broke students living off student loans and the indigent «colored folk» of our town. (Please keep in mind I say this with utmost sarcasm as I have a bi-​racial daughter) As IF these areas of town would be the only place that they would WANT to live??? **sarcastically dramatic gasp**
So, after my curtly ended phone conversation with Boulder Creek of Vantage Pointe, I called Brown Capital, Ltd and it first started out as, «Is this Brown Capital, Limited?» «Yes, well, it’s Brown Capital, Ltd.» «Yes, Limited.» I already know this isn’t going to go well, since the person doesn’t even realize the Ltd in her company’s name stands for «Private Company Limited.» Oh this is bad.
So I assume she’s a secretary and ask to speak with a supervisor or an owner. Nope. No go. She was a manager of another complex in another area of town. She was so rude, and down right nasty as I held my composure. She kept trying to redirect me back to Boulder Creek, but I delicately refused… stating they’d given me all I needed to know about the complex. Then, to prove my point as she kept whittling away at me to get my question out of me, I gave her all the information I had received from the other complex. She said she could take my name and number down but she KNEW — she KNEW that the owners would NEVER return my calls. She kept asking me what complex I lived in, and I assured her I did not live in any of their complexes, I just needed more thorough answers that were not answered. I finally spit out my question, we’d lived in this area for a long time, I’d grown up here, and essentially so had my daughter. We wanted to stay, but the landlord I’m currently renting under is selling his house and doesn’t want to sell it with renters. So, we are in a conundrum. However, we are also wondering if they’d take a voucher, since their other properties take vouchers? She went on a very long rant about Phoenix Place and the area, then about University Park Apartments and the poor struggling students… never considering our situation.
Then abruptly ended the call. As I laid my phone down, I said, «with an attitude like that, why would I want to rent from them anyway?!» Geeze! Not a very good sales tactic! :-(
