If you move here, you will make the worst mistake of your life.
Summary: Overpriced, cockroach and wasp-infested apartments that haven't been remodeled since the 1980s, broken appliances, dysfunctional AC units, car and apartment break-ins common, police and crime scene units/homicide investigators here weekly, ghetto neighbors brawling in the parking lot, water cut off at random times several times a week, and horrible office staff who couldn't give two craps about you or any of the things I just mentioned. STAY AWAY!
Highlights of our 1 1/2 years at Hearthstone:
-Property manager trying to sue us over damage in our unit caused by their own pipes (according to their own employed maintenance man)
-Property manager harassing the elderly tenant living below us, and many other residents, including us
-Coming home on Easter Sunday to find a homicide investigation vehicle at the building next to ours, then finding a CSI vehicle at a different building about a week later
-Downstairs neighbor's apartment being broken into twice in one week - one time, having his door kicked in
-Our car broken into in broad daylight and over $500 of stuff stolen from it
-Cockroaches dive-bombing into my food as I cook it and infesting every square inch of the apartment
-Hornets waging war on all patios
-Ghetto residents brawling in the parking lot at all hours of the day or night
-Calling the police approximately twice a month over gunshots at night from a neighboring building
-No courtesy officer or security despite the office and website claiming they have one
-Hidden charges in the lease, and wording that basically says they can leave you with broken appliances in your apartment for 6 months and you're not allowed to get them fixed or break your lease
-Lost my medical paperwork I had to go through a hassle to get because it's a "filing requirement" just so they would replace my AC unit
-Tried to evict us for having a full-size washer and dryer in our unit despite the lease not saying anywhere that it's not allowed (yeah, we won that battle)
-Everyone in the office is grumpy, new property manager Lindsey hides in the back so she never has to help anyone, and office staff acts like it's a burden to have to fetch your packages when they are the ones who require the carriers to leave them there
-Expensive renters insurance forced on you
-Overpriced rent for poor infrastructure, broken appliances and apartments that haven't been remodeled since the 1980's
-Didn't even feel safe walking my dog during broad daylight due to crime and trashy characters loitering around
-Frequently cut off water several days a week with no warning or indication of when it will be back
-People here are so petty and ghetto they will literally steal anything, like shoes and fishing poles.
-Frequent construction outside your bedroom window, including chainsaws blaring, at 8:30 in the freakin' morning
-Require that you pay rent online through their stupid dysfunctional app that charges you fees for doing so
-Maintenance never comes to fix anything because there is such high turnover because the people who work here are jerks and the property has gone to hell. We were once without AC for an entire weekend in the summer and a shower for five days. Several burners on the stove never worked since we got there, and our dishwasher might as well be removed because all it does is slosh dirty stinky water around.
I could go on forever with all the problems of this place. I have never been so glad to leave an apartment complex in my life! People are flocking out of here by the dozens. By the time we left we were one of the only people in our entire building still there. Take this warning and avoid at all costs!
