Uptown Crossing Apartment Homes

Worst place I’ve ever lived in my life!!! Negligent landlord Teri Martinez decides to sell the place to a mystery company United that never is in the office or returns calls. Bed bugs!!! Children running around screaming, drug dealers, prostitutes, daily fights outside cursing and screaming between neighbors, terrible laundry room with roaches that makes your clothes smell like feet! This place is not even cheap 9000 for a one bedroom!!! But you’re surrounded by crackheads, it doesn’t add up! Don’t live here!!!

This was the worst place I have ever lived.
They don’t care if you get bedbugs.
The laundry rooms made my laundry smell gross.
Worst. Paint job. EVER.
Rats.
The place smelled weird. Like, since day one.
Ew. Gross. So many dead roaches.
And some live ones.
Cheap carpet.
Parking is a disaster.
(that doesn’t sound bad, but trust me, it gets SO frustrating)
It’s actually kind of expensive.
Trust me. Any deal you get is better.
Sorry Chris Bee.
They let pretty much anyone hang around. I was SO worried to leave town for a few days, Since there are thieving meth heads lurking 24/7.But you CAN get a sweet deal on some stolen goods if you’re into that.
Teri leaves her office for hours at a time.
Getting a hold of her can be difficult.

While this complex isn’t the worst, it’s not the best either. For my short time living there I can say it’s pretty run down for being recently renovated.
Cons:
— Hundreds of sloppy putty patches on the walls (no exaggeration here)
— Inconsistent textures & colors of paint
— Mold in master bathroom (especially in the shower grout)
— Random holes in ceilings and floor
— Bugs coming through said random holes
— New appliances weren’t properly installed
— Maintenance people aren’t professionals
— Maintenance also lets themselves in with NO warning
— Smells weird (tried incense, candles, sprays, nothing got rid of it)
— Cable wires don’t actually work
— Painted over vents that need to be opened to change air conditioning filters
— Paint drips on everything — the amount of paint they used to cover previous flaws is disgusting and may contribute to the permanent weird smell
— Paint began peeling in kitchen and bathroom within the first week anyways
— Windows and doors leak air, making your air conditioner run harder
— Loud unattended children until 11:30 (or later) at night
— Disrespectful neighbors
— Barking dogs at all hours
— People aren’t afraid to crash into/​scratch your car in the parking lot
— Laundry rooms always had at the very least two broken units
— You live literally on the side of a highway
— Every apartment related thing you receive is in Comic Sans
— I’ve witnessed a few fights, which includes your neighbors screaming profanities in front of their children as loud as they can and even going as far as damaging each others cars.
Pros:
— Terri, the property manager. She’s a total sweetheart and is very understanding. She is a major plus to this property, and she tries very hard to make this property shine.
— New appliances, even though they weren’t properly installed
— Pet friendly
— Price
— Trash pickup
— IHOP is across the street
Their reputation as Uptown Crossing instead of Highland Cove will eventually go up, and so will the prices of these apartments. It’s not an awful place to live, but you’ve officially been warned.

(NOTE: I am fairly certain that Nikki S. is the property manager we dealt wit hupon moving in, so, please, take her review with a grain of salt.)
An actual nightmare.
Basically, the place is advertised as having been renovated recently. This is because the complex, previously called «Highland Cove,» was so completely disgraceful that there was literally no other way to salvage the reputation of these buildings than to rename the complex and smear paint over fractures and holes in the walls and doors.
Katerina’s comment is on-​point and accurate; Mice, roaches, unattended and loud children, drug dealers shouting in the night, neighbors stopping and asking if they can «buy a cigarette» on an unsettlingly regular basis, shouts demanding money or drugs in the middle of the night– all of these things are true.
Upon moving in to our apartment that was advertised as cable-​ready, we quickly realized that the only way to access said cable was through THE STRAY AND LIVE ELECTRICAL WIRES HANGING FROM THE CEILING. After complaining the first week of our residence, we saw no help or interest in the issue from anyone in the complex– the most helpful person was the man called in from Time Warner Cable.
Now, these electrical wires were eventually phased out of my attention; however, just a few weeks ago, our air conditioner began leaking several gallons a water a day into the master bedroom closet. This leaked ruined ~$ 500 in clothes and destroyed many of my personal possessions that are priceless (photos, academic notes, etc.). I decided to put my clothes on the porch, since they are grotesquely spotted with mold and soaking wet. The landlady did not hesitate to alert me that I was in violation of our rental agreement, and that they would throw the items away at their own leisure. I understand that it is not the most flattering thing for a resident to pile clothes on the property that they rent for WAY too much money; however, these people have utterly failed in their service to provide people with dignified and modern living space.
The best part, though, is the complete lack of dignity or decency from the office. Staff regularly walk into our place unannounced for various maintenances– we appreciate it, but it really is not a problem to call ahead. At all.
Frankly, these apartments seem to exist ONLY to take advantage of those who would otherwise have trouble securing a place to live. There is actually a conversation to be had about whether or not this is a form of societal abuse.
These apartments are disgusting. their landlords deplorable, its tenants mostly insufferable, and its mice and bugs innumerable.
Whoever you are, you are better than this. Seriously, just don’t even consider this as a housing option.
