EDIT: RUN! Run far. ORIG: I chose to move here because the space was exactly what I was looking for and there was an onsite gym. I've been here just over two months (edit: now 7 months). The thing you don't think about is how close it is to the nature center. Lizards live in the exposed cracks in the walls between units. Many neighbors are rude and disrespectful to the community. I spend nights listening to my neighbor playing a video game that screams randomly. The pools are often shut down via police because people don't know how to act. If a person can't find a spot close enough to where they want to be, they just park where ever, whether they block you in or not. I was really excited about the onsite gym, but it is useless. It can only be accessed when the office is open to get a key - If I have to work late, it's a holiday, or it's a Sunday, I can't use the gym; but the machines are mostly broken so it doesn't do a whole lot of good to begin with. The women's toilet doesn't flush, the paper towel rack isn't attached to the wall, the bathroom door doesn't latch and lock. Maintenance has been okay, but only okay. I can really see how people complain about the maintenance, especially since we pay a monthly maintenance fee (which is beginning to feel more like a scam fee because it is sold as a "community renters insurance fee" and my insurance agent says that regardless of this fee, the apartment can still come after the resident if an accident is deemed due to negligence). EDIT: Maintenance is useless. They "maintain" nothing. My heater has stopped working 4 times from X-mas to end of Jan. (this time twice in one day), and they keep replacing the same part, so it's either incompetence, bad parts, or refusal to pay the cost of whatever. My neighbor's pipes burst at the beginning of 2018 while I was at work. I came home to 4 inches of water - no one called me at 9:15 that morning when they shut the water off or at any other point during the day, until I walked in after 6 p.m., and I called emergency and was told, "it'll get taken care of when it gets taken care of." I also had to eat that $300 utility bill because I was told the heat had to run continuously for the carpet drying. ORIG-UPDATE: They are now requiring online payments that are only free (edit) by online check - so if your employer uses pay cards - you also have to pay additional fees just to pay your rent. The company they use stole from me the very first online payment, which I had to fight without property help, then got push back from the property when I explained that the payment company told me they would refund the amount to the property and I should just short pay - it was this point that the property decided they needed to be involved because they didn't want me to short pay - not when they should have gone to bat for me, but only when it affected them directly. ORIG: Checks and money orders are listed as approved payments in the lease; nothing is stated about electronic requirements. They are going to be extremely upset the first time they don't accept someone's check or money order (per the lease) and a lawyer shows up saying, "Um. No. Your lease says they can pay this way." EDIT: RUN! Just run! Don't walk. Don't pay a premium price for this. Don't pay a shady maintenance fee that is sold as insurance. Do not pass go. Do not collect $200. Just run. Let me help us by letting me be the last schmuck they get. I lived in a run down trash of a place before moving here, but I'd go back to that place before renewing my lease here because I was at least getting the service I was paying for there and wasn't sold a whole bunch of hooey.

I actually enjoy property. Nice and quiet. Very clean staff has been very attentive to my needs. Has followed up several times to make sure that my move was successful and that everything was in order.

I encourage everyone who's considering this property to read all the reviews carefully. If theres a zero-star rating, I would do it. I lived here in late 2015 to early 2017. This is absolutely the worst place Ive ever rented in multiple states. The apartment is old and not well maintained to start with, leaving so many things needing to be fixed after I moved in. One time I had AC down for a few days and were talking about summer in Memphis here. The property just doesnt have the ability to fix things timely and properly. Some staff are extremely unprofessional and sometimes rude, esp. Christy, who ignores emails and voice messages, and would rather chitchat with others than helping when I visit the office. Theres some serious concern about the cleanness of this property and the neighborhood. I moved out after I found a rat in my apartment. Yet those are not the worst. After I moved out and paid the expensive lease-ending fee, the property sent me a bill for some cleaning fee for the apartment when those stains already existed when I moved in! Lesson on me to have better documentation on check-in list, or better yet, not have checked in this place to start with. I sent multiple emails and made several calls trying to resolve the issue and didnt hear back- all those emails are still in my sent box. Until recently I found out that the property had sent the bill to collection, without any effort to resolve the issue with me first! I guess thats how they treat residents or formal residents. Why should I even be surprised at this point? All in all, if you want to have all kinds of maintenance issues, have your car towed when you parked in front of your own building (yes this happened to me! Ill save the story here..), and deal with some unprofessional and rude office staff, AND be sent to collection when no one even tried to resolve issues with you, then this is absolutely the best choice for you. Again, listen to all the reviews, and choose wisely.

If I could leave a negative 100 stars I would. I lived there for 2 years and they were the worst. For starters, we have a hole in our kitchen ceiling that poured out water, we called and sent emails constantly. 6 months later I had to call corporate to get anything done. Whatever, they were busy I wasn't super mad. Our air went out, they fixed it. Our air went out again this summer and I called, well they said a mait. Guy would come before 5 but incase he didn't, call the emergency line. So 5 comes and I did that, waited for the call back, No response, so I called again incase they forgot. I was greeted to the mait. Guy banging on my door being rude. Whatever, well he came, looked at it, said he would be right back. Never came back. So I called to speak to the manager, who had me and the guy arguing on speaker??!?! Then proceeded to call me a liar because he said he fixed it. So I asked why isn't it blowing air? She sent another mait. Guy who confirmed it was still INFACT NOT FIXED AND BROKEN. Did I receive a call with an apology for calling me a liar? No. Did I receive any apology for being unprofessional and having me on speaker arguing with the maint guy? No. Seriously unprofessional and just awful. If you can find anywhere else, I suggest you move there instead of here. Neighbors had the same issues. Steer clear. On top of all this, I spoke to the assistant manager and made a payment plan for the money we owe due to pet wear and tear, gave exact dates we were going to make payments on it, she accepted, put it in the system AND STILL I RECIEVED A EMAIL STATING IF WE DON'T CALL ABOUT IT, IT WAS GOING TO COLLECTIONS. How unorganized can one place be. Our MLGW bill was always super high, just seriously avoid this place. Never have I had such issues with an apartment place.

Recently, encountered a HUGE problem in my unit here at the Lynnfield Place Apartments. I spoke with the manager in regards to the problem and she gave me a timeline of when things in my unit would get squared away. Not only did her contractor meet the deadline, but my unit was returned to an impeccable state. Friendly staff and customer service was all I received from the property's team. Always a pleasure doing business with them.

Like every community, there are problems. I chose to move here because the space was exactly what I was looking for and there was an onsite gym. I've been here just over two months. The thing you don't think about is how close it is to the nature center - so there is "nature." If this was just mosquitoes and wasps, I'd be fine - but there are lizards. I like nature - as long as it stays in nature, but they can get inside and they are living in the walls. My biggest problem is ultimately the people in the community. Many are rude and disrespectful to the community. I spend nights listening to my neighbor playing a video game that screams randomly - the walls aren't thin, either. It is a person who doesn't understand they live in an apartment and shouldn't blast their TV. The pools are often shut down via police because people don't know how to act. Sometimes if a person can't find a spot close enough to where they want to be, they just park where ever, whether they block you in or not. I was really excited about the onsite gym, but it is useless. It can only be accessed when the office is open to get a key because children were using it as a hangout and breaking things. If I have to work late, it's a holiday, or it's a Sunday, I can't use the gym; but the machines are mostly broken so it doesn't do a whole lot of good to begin with: for example, the weight machine has three sides - the press is nonfunctional because it was set up incorrectly, and the weights are broken on the pull side - you get 5 lbs or you get 50+ because everything in between is broken. The women's toilet doesn't flush, the paper towel rack isn't attached to the wall, the bathroom door doesn't latch and lock. I had to find other means to workout, upsetting since I'm paying premium rental rates and can't use the one amenity I was excited about. Resident children broke the things - but the property hasn't fixed them. I have my own personal walkway to my door, but there is frequently broken beer bottles, empty soda cans, and other trash lining this walkway that are not mine. Maintenance has been okay, but only okay. It took 10 days to replace my fridge when it went out, about 3 weeks or so to do simple repairs from my move in, but only a day to come fix a light (but it flickers now, so I don't know if that is a positive). I have heard someone's AC unit making noises it shouldn't, and I've seen maint. work on it, but the noises only stop for a day or so, so I can really see how people complain about the maintenance, especially since we pay a monthly maintenance fee (which is beginning to feel more like a scam fee because it is sold as a "community renters insurance fee" and my insurance agent says that regardless of this fee, the apartment can still come after the resident if an accident is deemed due to negligence). It's not a dump, and within my apartment (and when the nature stays outside), I'm happy here, most of the time. But I don't know if the overall experience is worth what I'm paying in rent, simply because the amenities I was most looking forward to are useless to me, and I've had to find other methods to meet those needs - more money. UPDATE: They are now requiring online payments that are only free if you have a Master or Discover card to carry the balance AND you schedule automatic payments. Checks and money orders are listed as approved payments in the lease; nothing is stated about electronic requirements. This is not acceptable; it feels like someone just doesn't want to make deposits each month. They are going to be extremely upset the first time they don't accept someone's check or money order (per the lease) and a lawyer shows up saying, "Um. No. Your lease says they can pay this way."

- BUG ISSUE, killing more bugs daily now matter how clean you keep the place or how much you spray. - Flooding Issues - Neighbors allowing their pets to poop in the grass right by my door and not picking up the dog poop and it leaves a terrible smell. - Maintenance slow to fix issues. - Overall the staff is great and wonderful people, unfortunately I can't say the same for the apartments.

This is the worst experience in apartments I've every been in. I pay close to $1000.00 for a 3 bedroom apartment. I went to management and told them about the trash and leaves piled in the corner of the entry way of my apartment from some falls ago and nothing was done about it. I also was concern about the rodent problem under stairwell with one particular person constantly dumping trash and beer bottles and cans...nothing is been done about it. I ask management about ground keeping and i was told " Well we don't have a ground keeper but have maintenance men and it is really not there job to pick up beer cans and bottles but for the tenants to throw all trash in the dumpster." I have taken picture and have a camera rolling at all times on my apartment since the break in. We suppose to have a onsite security and I've only seen this guy once and that when my apartment was broken in. Lynnfield DOES NOT keep maintenance up in the apartments. It took 5 months to come change light bulb and to fix dish washer and yes I pay rent on time EVERY month. I will not recommend anyone to apply for these apartments. The cost is too high for poor upkeep. Not even a coat of paint and the damn paint is chipping on the outside of the apartments. Once lease is up, I will not be renewing. Remodel some but not all. Not fair to ones that pay high rent for good service and quality. Seem as though everyone in the office needs to be fired if all these reviews are this bad. Especially Joanne. She gave me positive living condition when I moved in and its a headache with them since day 1. If matter doesn't get resolve soon a petition will be started for news media to have a look at living conditions. Cabinets fallen apart, carpet was suppose to cleaned when I moved in and wasn't, pest problem, just not exceptable when paying 1000.00 for rent. I expect better from them being that this is what was told to me per Joann. AS I'M REVIEWING THE COMMENTS i SEE THE SAME RESPONDS..."I'M SORRY FOR YOUR EXPERIENCE". i DON'T NEED ANY SORRY, I NEED RESULTS!!! 5 YEARS OF THE SAME THINGS HAPPENING. SO WHEN WILL ACTION SHOW???

I'm a current resident and will not be renewing my lease. My entire experience over here has to be worse than death. From the maintenance not fixing any issues, to chasing and killing all types of bugs. I have called several times over a 3 month period and no one has made an response to my maintenance needs. I have complained about a leak in the kitchen and bathroom sink that is causing my mlgw bill to be the same amount as my rent. My kids can't even play outside due to snakes and lizards in the summer time. I am depressed from staying here and can't wait until my lease is up. Wish I could rate 0 stars.

Ashley and Denise I'm so sorry! Reading this brings back bitter memories. These reviews are very helpful and people should read them. I write this review because I'm not angry at Lynnfield, but I realize how helpful they are in helping people make critical decisions in moving. Everybody is not going to say the same thing unless it's true. These apartments take your money every month, but don't invest in their properties. I remember living there and experienced the same problems. Also my neighbors that left did also. My air went out every month! I would come home, tired, only to find out my air wasn't working and it would take them days to come out. when they did, they patched it! I had so much duck tape on my unit, I was scared it would catch fire. Such a shame! And I also had a problem with my thermostat. It is NOT normal for a unit to come on and cut off 30 seconds later, come on 10 seconds later, and then cut of 30 seconds later before it stayed on for 10 minutes. It would be well over 90 degrees in my apartment, but the unit would stay on. I took pictures and showed it to the office. the only time the unit performed well is right after maintenance serviced it and that lasted about two weeks. I kept telling them something was wrong and my bill went up to $800 but they kept saying it was not the thermostat. Eventually, I had to leave. I packed up and left. The last straw was that bill and seeing my kids unable to sleep and crying because they were hot. If that wasn't enough, the roaches were horrible, but I found someone who had a spray and came in and sprayed and kill the roaches. I was so happy, that eliminated my roach problem for about a year. Also, the wasps are really bad in the summer. You can't get in your apartment without ducking down and terrified one will sting you. I never used my dishwasher because it broke soon after I moved in but that was something I could deal with. Last, the workout room never had any toilet paper in the bathroom, really? I wonder if people was stealing it or Lynnfield is that cheap. they never had any cold water either so you better bring your own water. Only two machines worked, a treadmill and the lifecycle. One thing I can say good about Lynnfield is that it is in a nice area, and they keep their outside very clean. Also, the office staff was nice, but that doesn't mean that tackled the problems quickly, but they were nice.

Well I really don't want to give any stars. We moved in the stove was extremely nasty. Medicine cabinet door in the restroom never closes. We moved in November is was extremely cold outside which means you need heat. We reported that as soon as we moved tell me why the heat didn't get fix tell March but all they did was replace a thermostat that do not work and change the filter that seem like it been in there for umpteen years. So now it's summer and guess what the no air been reported this have any came around here.. ..nope. While we have no air the cold water strip in the one of the bathrooms they came to fix that but did half way job because it strip again second time they knocked the tiles back in and never fix. Never use the dishwasher and scared to use it. When it rains don't leave the house in some nice shoes because when you get home you're going to need a boat to get to the door. The doors are extremely hard to open. Ohhhhh the bugs feel like you in Jurassic park here bug there's a bug everywhere bugs and all types snails, big cockroaches, nets, mosquitoes, little bugs and spiders. Took years for them to seal up the doors because you can see straight through them. No circulation at all walls are extremely thin as well. Oh yeah water damaged ceilings. People move out and move in everyday. Our neighbor move in a couple weeks after we did and she has the same problems. Ohhh yea paying $755 a month for a two bedroom two bath. Do not move in these apartments don't waist your time. My air is off while I'm typing this

This has been the worst 15 months of my life!!!!! So thankful this has finally come to an end. When I first came to inquire Jo Ann was so full of energy & has so many good things to say about the apts, but Oh Boy little did I know I was signing a death wish for 15 months. My air has went out 7 times, my balcony rocks like a wave. The walls are so thin I can hear my neighbors whisper. I never used my dishwasher so I decided to try it out until I opened and saw mildew with an odor than would wake a dead man up. They replaced my dishwasher a month later but the maintence did a half a$$ job that when I used the new one it flooded. My air is out while I'm commenting!!! Seriously!!!!! My car was towed out of handicap while I had a handicap tag (I was like Wtf) then the towing company apologized for not paying attention to my tags which were handicap. The parking is horrible, you basically have to stay at home all day to get a great spot. The maintenance SUCKS A**. The basically get paid to show up for work because they don't fix S#!+. You would think that the area being so peaceful and nice that you would love the Lynnfield. If you like sleeping or dancing with Devil move here!!!! I don't know if I was in desperate place In my life or what but This has been a horrible yr. Thank God this journey is over.

The maintenance is unbelievable horrible! On one case I had to call corporate in order for maintenance to come out! It takes them forever to see about your needs, they even have online maintenance request that doesn't seem to help either. I have an 18 month lease that I WILL NOT renew, due to slow maintenance. You would think if you're paying over 800 dollars in rent they should work rapidly, guess I was wrong. Far most, the worst place ever!

I moved in at the end of January. I wish i never moved in here. The Maintenance sucks. It takes them a week just to fix one issue. In the winter my heat went out 10 times. Now in the summer my A/C have went out 15 times. Im typing this in heat because its still out. The manager keep saying "if we can fix it we wont replace it" apparently you cant fix it. Parking sucks if you work at night or even get off around 6 you will not have a parking space. Also the lines on the ground is faded and they havent fix that yet either. So people double park. They dont spray for wasps. It have gotten so bad that I will take Legal action. Ms.Joan will tell you alot of good things while showing. you the apartments. .dont believe anything. I don't recommend anyone moving here.

THIS PLACE REALLY SUCKS.. IT TAKES THE MAINTENANCE FOREVER TO COME AND REPAIR ..ANYTHING. THE WASPS ARE HORRIBLE IN THE SUMMER. PARKING SPACE SUCKS.....JOANN...

THIS PLACE REALLY SUCKS.. IT TAKES THE MAINTENANCE FOREVER TO COME AND REPAIR ..ANYTHING. THE WASPS ARE HORRIBLE IN THE SUMMER. PARKING SPACE SUCKS.....JOANN IS A LIAR.. SHE GIVES YOU ALL THESE GOOD REVIEWS WHEN I MOVED IN AND WHEN I REALLY MOVED IN SHE ACT LIKE I WAS A STRANGER WHEN I WENT INTO THE OFFICE TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THE NOISE NEAR MY BUILDING....THE PRICE IS REALLY NOT WORTH YOUR STAY... STAY AWAY FROM THIS HORRIBLE PLACE..

I despise feeling like I need to write a negative review; however, coming down to my final month at Lynnfield Place, so many things have rubbed me the wrong way (some pretty severe in my book. Others are minor but once they add up, they seem that much worse). When I signed my lease, I was told that if I vacated before my lease was up that i had to provide 60 days notice. Seems fair, right? If you break a contract of any kind, notice is necessary. When I called and spoke to the property manager to inform them that i would be out by the end of the month of June (when my lease was up), I was told that even if my lease was up i had to give 60 days notice. The only way around this? Going month to month for July. The cost? $890 DOLLARS for a TINY, NOT UPDATED, ONE BEDROOM APARTMENT when I've been paying $640. Also, take note of the fact that i was not informed of the month to month requirement at the time of my lease signing. I even went back through the lease. It's just "vague" enough in the language to where they could and would come after me for leaving when I should be able to. Fine. Okay. I'll go month to month. I'll play. I was informed that I had an additional $50 for the month of June to be payed by the 24th (this Wednesday). However, I come to find a lovely red piece of paper on my door saying the complex will turn me over to their attorneys if I don't pay it by the end of today (the 22nd). When I went down to the office, it turned out to be a communication issue between the office manager and her staff, which has been a problem since I moved in last July. No one even tried to contact me directly before they red lettered me. I have never been late on rent, even when the property hasn't upheld their side of the lease agreement. Even when maintenence requests have gone uncompleted (ie the wasp infestation in my hvac closet, my dishwasher constantly failing to operate, & my gutters still after 11 months not being repaired), I have paid my rent on time. Even with them not updating the fitness room, not cleaning the pools, not keeping up the grounds, I have paid my rent on time. They do NOT care about tenants or their safety and comfort. They care about the check. The new owners that took over are clearly just as bad as the ones from when i moved in. Despicable.

Mom-June 9, 2011 My son is a college student at Memphis University who has lived here since July 2010, for less than a year and from the very beginning office management seems to care less about having repairs fix in a timely manner. When he moved in, he informed Mngt. that the carpet wasn't cleaned,the front door had a gap at the bottom where they lost air in the summer and heat in the winter and their cable hook up was broken etc. When they notified the office workers it went on death ears until my son called the Corporate office to make them do their jobs. Now their Air Conditions has been out before Memorial Day. Well it has been weeks now and they are still without any AIR. Lynnfield Place Apartments is not a good Place to live, due to bad Management. When you finish making your comment it appears that the web site has it set to "if it was helpful" than it say Yes-No in appropriate. I wounder why?

I have lived here several years and I have been really pleased with the complex. Yes it does get a little loud but the maintenance crew have been very helpful and they get round to working their tickets. Love the back view facing the Lichtermann nature center and most times it is peaceful. The location is excellent with easy access to the Interstate and is worth looking into for a couple/bachelor/bachelorette.
