I love this community because it allows me to feel safe, as the security and lights are superbly maintained. The property maintenance is expedient and always friendly and in a can-do mode! The apartment itself is sunny, with windows that allow beautiful trees to beā€¦Ā See More >

                                        Thank you for your review and thank you for choosing Sumner Highlands. It is unfortunate that you have experienced noise issues from your neighbor. The walls dividing each apartment are insulated and built to code - but with any structure that houses nearly a dozen families and individuals noises can sometimes be heard. The most difficult complaint any property manager has to address is noise. When we receive noise complaints we follow up to ensure they have covered the flooring as required in the lease. We then discuss the noises heard by the neighbors and remind them to be cognizant of what may disturb others. Our follow up has been with the neighbor immediately above your apartment. With the required floor area covered we reminded them to avoid making noises during late evening and early morning that may disturb their neighbors. We would be happy to discuss moving you to a top floor apartment so that you will not have someone above you.

                                          Carib, Thank you for your positive comments. We hope all is well with you since your move out from Sumner Highlands in April, 2013. Sumner Highlands has seen many managers in the four plus years that we have managed the community. It is a small property and proves to be a good training ground for new managers. Often with experience in this great community the manager is ready to move on to a larger property with more challenges. I would like to discuss your final Security Deposit statement. Please contact me at michelle.reed@avisonyoung.com to discuss further.
