Resident 2011 - 2014

11/21/2014

DO NOT MOVE HERE! Wow... In my short time here (3 years) the quality of this apartment has plummeted. Oakwood Management Company should be ashamed. The most alarming and concerning thing I can say about Fountain Place is that in May there was a fatal shooting and the management did absolutely nothing. There was no communication to residents about security, no talk of getting a security guard, or more police patrols. There has been no change. A former neighbor of mine did not get most of his security deposit back. His lease was up in August which is when he moved out. They charged him the "month to month" rate for the rate of August and that came out of his security deposit. When he called to correct them, the leasing office had "lost" his lease and had no proof that it was through August so they refused to give him his deposit. The parking situation is bad, there are never enough spots. The speed bumps are unusually high and are most likely very damaging to your vehicles. The apartment exteriors are filthy there is dirt and dead bugs all over the exterior walls of the building, and yes some of these large insects get inside the apartments too. They obviously do not spray for bugs around the buildings. The only thing they care about is throwing out your decorations you might put outside your door. During the summer, the maintenance and grounds crew does not cut the grass frequently enough and it gets very long and looks run-down. During the winter, sidewalks are not shoveled/salted and the parking lots are not plowed. They claim to be "pet friendly" but there is a 2 pet limit, a non-refundable pet deposit as well as an additional monthly "pet rent" PER PET. There are also unadvertised weight restrictions, and there are also breed restrictions. The free gym membership that comes with your lease is a great perk, but the gym is about 15 minutes away. The traffic entering and exiting the apartment complex is horrible, however if you're willing to deal with that try checking out Noble Park, Templeton Crossing, Citation Club, and Park View. I've done some research and those are all run by the same Management company, Crawford Hoying - I have friends that live at Noble Park that love it.
