Perry Point

AVOID AT ALL COSTS! How this is a 4 star is based solely on the management giving it’s own rankings. I’m telling you now… I live here. It is HORRIBLE. The parking is a joke. The crime is awful. There are drug deals non stop around here IN THE PARKING LOTS. Also, the management… Oooooo the management… I have lived in many places and I promise you… There is NOT worse management out there.
PLEASE TAKE MY WARNING!!! Please do not come here. If you do… We will get some hard scotch and talk to each other about how bad this place is!

Very top notch community a property. The maintenance team is unbelievable. Grounds are amazing. Makes you feel like your on vacation every time you walk out on your front porch. The office staff are friendly and considerate. They always strive to make there residents happy. If you love a place with a pool this is the the place to be. Very pleased with this community and there Morguard company.

We have lived here for almost a month and so far we love it. It’s a great pet loving community and the apartments are beautiful. So far noise hasn’t really been an issue. Parking can be kind of full as the spaces aren’t assigned but you can usually find something pretty close. Spencer Jones helped us through the whole process of getting into our apartment and has gone above and beyond making sure we are taken care of. Hands down best location and quality apartment!

We lived at Perry Point for just shy of two years, and had an overall great experience.
Noise: I think the walls are just a bit thin and poorly enough insulated for sound that you can often hear neighbors (above, below and adjacent). It’s not a big deal most of the time, until it is – 2 a.m. and a baby’s crying, etc. I can’t blame the staff, but wish the walls were a bit thicker.
Grounds: The grounds overall are immaculate. The amenities are really top notch – the only problem we ever had was the grills being occasionally out of gas. Apart from that, my only gripe would be that the pool closes a bit early. Otherwise, the landscaping and aesthetics of the property are well-​maintained and clean.
Safety: I rarely felt unsafe at Perry Point – it’s well-​lit and generally low key. The only alarming things were the occasional car break-​ins we’d hear about through management, etc. We always locked doors, etc. and never had a problem.
Neighborhood: Although it’s a bit far from downtown, there’s plenty around Perry Point. Though it’s mostly chains, any store or restaurant you’d need is within 5 minutes. Highlights nearby include Lafayette Village on Falls, the Target shopping center, and North Hills.
Maintenance: We always had good experiences with maintenance. They were prompt, courteous, and fixed everything we asked. They’ll even come to replace light bulbs, so it really is hassle-​free. They were good with our pets and always locked the doors behind them.
Staff: Most of the staff experiences we’ve had were great – Michelle, Shauntee, Kerry, and Spencer are all stellar. If we ever didn’t get great service, we usually got it by going back to another staff member. We really did have a good experience.
Overall, I think the prices are a bit high, but the apartments and the facilities are great. I’d avoid living on the highway side by 540, as it can be noisy. The rest of the community is quiet and great. The main reason we moved is because we decided to buy a home. Don’t forget to bargain and ask about specials! The staff will often work with you.

DO NOT LIVE HERE! Over the last few months (under new property management), Perry Point has gone downhill FAST. It seems they are beginning to allow anyone to live in this community and thus it has become infested with boisterous, loud tenants. The pool is pretty however due to the type of people that now reside here, there are loud parties with over 200+ people at the pool, alcohol and bottles everywhere, cops being called on a regular basis, guns being shot, and violence at the pool. This is definitely not a place for children to live and be raised. Also, the management staff is the least professional I’ve ever encountered. They are rude, sit by the pool on the weekends and drink to the point of non-​coherence with the tenants and do absolutely nothing when issues arise.
Stacey is the WORST property manager I’ve ever seen — she is a drunk and does not care that the way she carries herself directly reflects upon the property. Michelle is an idiot and is constantly asking for favors from tenants but treats them with zero respect. Kerri used obscenities to break up a 200 party at the pool only to get pushed in by a non-​resident.
Though it may seem nice from the outside, please take a moment to think before signing a lease with Perry Point.

VERY IMPRESSIVE PROPERTY… lots of great amenitys however I wish the price was just ever so cheaper and it would be a little more affordable for me lol. I suppose thats to keep the rift rafts out with all their buligerance and tom fullery!
I mostly love the double intrances with the privacy balconys… dreamy and the sparkling pool… wooooo ahhhh

Been here a couple of days now so I think it’s time for the all-​important Unilocal review!
After a couple major issues with my former apartment (check out my review for the Beckanna) I decided not to renew my lease and look for a new place to live. I didn’t have many demands, just a place with a washer and dryer (I am so tired of public laundry) and central air. I knew my last place was a GREAT price and I probably wouldn’t get it anywhere else so I was prepared to pay more for something I loved.
After a bit of searching and lots of research I decided on Perry Point. The management was very helpful, the grounds were beautiful and it was just barely over what I wanted to pay (due to the valet trash fee you can’t take off uggggh). Since I absolutely loved the apartment I decided to go for it and so far have been very pleased with everything:
Pros:
–The pool (and the grounds in general) are well maintained and very pretty. I live facing the pool and surprisingly excessive noise has not been a problem. Unless my windows or doors are open I can’t hear a thing at the pool.
–Maintenance is quick and efficient. I had a clogged tub and a funny sounding sink when I moved in. I quickly went to the office to let them know and a few hours later it was fixed with a nice note left at my door letting me know if I had any other requests to just let them know.
–The Community is active and very nice. I am still pretty young so I enjoy the community events that take place around here. There seems like there are lots of opportunities to meet your neighbors and eat yummy free food (eh, I’m still in the hungry college kid mentality)
–The bathrooms are big and so are the kitchens! I was very impressed at their sizes considering i’m in a one-​bedroom.
Cons:
–While I can’t hear anything through my exterior walls facing the pool I can hear my side neighbors once and a while. Mostly just noises like knocking or running around. It’s not clear enough to make out actual talking like other reviews I have read have mentioned.
–The children around here don’t seem to understand that the street is not the place to play. Please don’t get run over! I hold my breath every time I see one run out into traffic or chase each other at the pool while their parents don’t pay attention.
–If you live on one of the outer apartments of the complex you have the option to park on the main road instead of the parking lots. This is kind of annoying for drivers in the middle of the night, when people don’t park close enough to the curb.
Of course I know i’m still in the honeymoon period with this place. I will be sure to review again if anything major changes but so far so good!

Very pleased with the setup. It is true the walls are very thin, but there is so much more positive than negative. My son has rented for about a year and has been very pleased with the upkeep of the grounds and apartments in general. They are prompt with repairs needed. He loves the availability to the gym that now has 24 hour access.
As guests visiting my son for a week, we have been able to rent an apartment that is available to rent for a short term stays. It was a very reasonable fee and the apartment was fully set up. Staff is very friendly and I even had an hour massage which is offered on Sundays at the club house.

I’ve been a Perry Point-​er for about a year and a half now. Here are the basics you should know:
— PP was built in ²⁰⁰⁸⁄₂₀₀₉. When I we got here (end of May 2009) the pool was still a hole in the ground. Needless to say, PP’s come a long way.
— The tenants are a mixed bunch. It used to be more young couples with dogs, but now there are more families… still with dogs, though. :o)
— The dog thing: PP has a BIG dog park, which was added this year after it became clear that there was a need. The original dog park was small and had terrible drainage, which made for muddy pups. Not good. The new park is on a hill and is mulch-​based, so it’s a much better setup. There’s also a picnic table and a couple of benches where owners can hang around and chat.
— There’s a number of gas grills set up around the community, as well as a nicely appointed clubhouse. I only wish that the clubhouse (with its pool table) were open after hours so that tenants could really enjoy it when they get home from work.
— The pool is nice, but the office staff seems somewhat selective about who they crack down on for having extra guests around (you’re only supposed to have 1 guest per tenant, or something like that).
— Valet trash is an amenity… and $ 20 a month (ON TOP OF YOUR RENT) that you won’t get back even if you don’t use it. On the bright side, Juan, the VT dude, is awesome.
