Parkside at Craig Ranch

If it can go wrong it will go wrong here. Apartment leaks, heavy footed neighbors living above you, dog pee in the halls without being cleaned, work cars being towed after notifying the front desk, constant construction going on daily, criminals running from the police jumping into residents backyards, constant unnecessary police presence. I almost thought we had moved into the hood for a brief moment. If you want peace don’t come here. If you’re an adult don’t come here. What’s glitter usually isn’t gold! And there isn’t any gold here.

I give these apartments, in which I currently live 3 stars. And I wasn’t to state ahead of time I have grown to love my apartment and I DO suggest this complex! BEST prices apartments in the area, the amenities are amazing, AND you get an updated kitchen. Maybe it’s because I came from uptown that I’m so amazed by the price, but either way… for everything you get amenity wise… can’t beat it!
However! It can’t have 5 stars because although I haven’t lived here long, I can’t say I’m over joyed with a lot of the issues I’ve had. I honestly have never had any issues in any apartments I have ever lived in. Then I move here and so many things!
To start it really wasn’t cleaned when we moved in. There were a ton of cob webs hanging from ceilings… which were tough to get down, being though I don’t own a latter. Within one week of living there the living room light bulbs were dead (Who doesn’t change light bulbs when you have a new tenant?! …it’s not like they didn’t have time I know for a fact I moved in two weeks AFTER the previous tenants vacated). It seems small, but it took me almost a month to get them to come change it, and really they only came because a month in the garbage disposal wasn’t working. ((Now the garbage disposal DOES work… it wasn’t broken so let me clarify that… however apparently there is a short in my apartment because almost every time i use it I have to flip the breaker)).
I want to say about three weeks in I turned the heat on (that doesn’t work… I can’t get it past 68 in there). Anyways I left the apartment and came back to a flooded bathroom. (I included pics… no lie water everywhere!) **i will say maintenance thank god was on the ball with this one!
Right around that time we also had a lot of rain (mind you this is early December)…the rain came right through the windows in my bedroom… the blinds looked like shit after and it broke my alarm clock (I didn’t even bother complaining about the alarm clock because it took them so long to come look at the window). But hey YESTERDAY they finally officially have the Windows fixed and blinds cleaned!
If you have dogs– listen up… maintenance will not enter your place if they are lose… however they don’t tell you they are coming usually until about 9AM the same day. So good luck figuring out what to do with them if you have to be at work on or before that time… the one day I got someone there to be there and keep the dogs outside while maintenance had work… guess who didn’t show. It is a HEADACHE.
HOWEVER!!! The staff… SO friendly! I know I have a lot of complaints, only because I’m used to apartment complexes checking out the apartments BEFORE you move in. This was a MESS. But! The staff has been nothing but friendly EVERY step of the way! My apartment has totalllllly grown on me, I do love it. I love love the price!!! And i love my outdoor area. I am still new so I haven’t been able to use all the amenities yet but they all look amazing, and honestly am happier and happier every day!
A mixed review for sure!!! I may have just had some BAD luck apartment wise. I know they just built brand new ones so the best of luck! I do suggest this place again, just really try and visit your apartment before hand!

Love living here at Parkside Craig Ranch. Things are taken care of quickly and the office staff is always quick and eager to help. I highly recommend this complex to anyone!

Love this complex, love the community, love my apartment! The management is great, the staff is friendly, and I have many friendly neighbors that I’ve met over my year of living here. I have resigned my lease and would recommend it as a safe place to live!

I LOVE living here! Maintenance has been fast to respond, the apartment conditions are nice, and the gym is perfect. I haven’t made it to any community events due to work but they look like fun. The only downside I will say is there isn’t enough guest parking.

Great community! I really enjoy living here and feel safe. It was convenient to transfer here from my previous property. Susan made it very easy. Like any apartment complex, it is sometimes hard to contact them by phone and the answering service can be a pain. But once I’ve talked to actual office staff on property they are always helpful.

So I took down my previous neg review because we are moving out in a few weeks so who cares let it go right?
Well we havent moved out yet and this apartment is just driving us insane! Our partying neighbors are throwing a LOUD party downstairs so we call the apt management. Management says theyll send a courtesy officer.
An hr later with more calls to the management — they admit to us that the courtesy officer isnt answering his phone! Wow. What a joke. This isnt the first time we had to call about the noise either, so previous times they probably didnt send anybody either!
Then the parking garage is always filled with ppl who tailgate you in the gates and dont live there. Apartment claims to tow but they dont. How do we know that? My hubby had a rental for work and didnt have the permit sticker on the rental car and parked inside the resident garage. Guess what — he didnt get towed, or a warning sticker, nothing (because no ‘courtesy officer’ actually checks the cars at night).
Office people are nice when you talk to them, but do little to no actual managing of the residents here. No rule enforcement = chaos = bad time for everyone.
Had a terrible experience living here.

Had a rant earlier. Took it down because we moved. Byebye!

Too many kids for my taste. Gym is overcrowded and the stairwells are dank and musty. Residents are loud.

The apartment itself is a modern layout and we like the floor plan. However the common area is much warmer than the bedroom. Maintenance came out and it sorta fixed the problem but I’m not convinced it’s fixed 100%. I can hear every step of the people above us also.
When it rained the first time we moved in it leaked all over our floors because the door wasn’t properly sealed. They fixed this quickly though the next day.
Another issue is that I have a stroller for my kids and we live on the second floor. So to get to my apartment I either have to park on the bottom floor (where parking is scarce) and go up or park on the third floor where the walkways are, drag my stroller up or down three stairs and take the elevator down. I think there should be ramps somewhere for the walkways. Very inconvenient either way
The staff is very responsive and helpful though. I like them very much but I think for the price there are several issues that should have been fixed beforehand.
