Parklawn Manor

I lived in one of Parklawn townhomes in Whitehall off Broad in 2007. Rent was $ 425 for a two bedroom, with unfinished basement. CRAZY cheap. I think it might be $ 450 now, but still. Despite being in Whitehall (people of Columbus gasp and shudder at the thought) this was actually a pretty nice community of small families and 20-​somethings. To be honest, WE were probably the neighbor’s causing problems, as we’d cram 20 – 40 people in here every weekend, but no one ever complained. Actually once a neighbor walked in and gave me $ 10 for 5 Jell-​O shots, so that was pleasant, haha. Also had a guy on a bike ask me once if I had any weed. But other than that — nice families. Quiet neighborhood. Management was always pretty good about fixing things.
My biggest gripe with Parklawn was moving out. I gave them a forwarding address, because my dumbass roommate had trashed the joint, so I knew we were going to have fees on top of our security deposit. But rather than contacting ME, they sent those fees to collections. Never once called, e-​mailed or wrote to me about them. Given the area I’m sure a lot of people try to duck out on charges, but since I had never been late paying rent and had left them accurate updated contact info, the collections thing really pissed me off.
