Laurel Oaks Apartments

This place is a complete shit hole, my boyfriend has lived here a year, his AC is broken & he has called several times to have it fixed, the water pressure is never reliable, the area is not safe, there are bugs, and on top of that, there is brown water most of the time. The owners don’t care about their tenants, or their safety, they didn’t tell anyone when their courtesy coppiced out due to vandalism, and they didn’t ever get a new one. This place is NOT safe, and had it not been for a last minute move he wouldn’t have moved in here. Also, they tell you that your deposit goes to «carpet» but they obviously didn’t replace the carpet that was in here, because when he moved in it was nasty. That’s all just minimal, they give you no notice when they are shutting water off, they shut the water off and then print and deliver the signs to tell you. Next, they have been working on «renovations» that were only supposed to last ²⁄₃ months, well it has been 7 and the place look worse than it did before. It is a health hazard living here & the owners have no idea what they’re doing. The office staff, the young (white) GIRL that starts with a J, I emphasize girl because she has no manners and talks without education, is very very rude.
There is a lady in there named Jerika and she is the epitome of sweet. She is probably the best thing about this complex & the only reason people actually decide they may want to live here. Other than that, this place should have been condemned, the walls are cracking and bugs, outside isn’t safe, and it’s in a sink hole with projects that have yet to be completed. Of I could give it 0 stars I would. Oh and it’s July almost August and they haven’t opened their pool.

I lived at Laurel Oaks for three years because I was too concerned with costs to move elsewhere. I wish I had moved after the first year. In my time there I was robbed twice. Not only did the apartment not do anything to ensure our safety after the robberies, they didn’t even call to say they were sorry or ask about what happened when they found out that I had been robbed. They don’t care about the tenants, clearly. The maintenance is clearly poor, but I put up with it because of the cheap cost of the apartments (I was in school at the time). However, the rent rose dramatically during my time there and I should have moved elsewhere as soon as I had the chance. I DO NOT recommend this apartment. You can find a cheaper place that is located in a better area. This place is in a dangerous part of town, which is obvious due to the robberies that happen there (other tenants have been robbed, too). There are a host of other issues that I’ll briefly mention: brown water at times, roaches, noise issues, flooding, etc.
