Mallard Crossing is a truly great place to live. The apartments are really nice and it is in a great school district and neighborhood. The management team is very consistant and fair, the maintenance team is efficient and prompt. The grounds are beautiful but there is a major problem with some pet owners not picking up after their dogs!!! It is hard to take children to play out on this wonderful property because every two feet there is a big pile of you know what. It certainly is not the managements fault that people are too lazy to clean up after their pets and they do provide bags and trash recepticals all around the grounds yet still the smelly dog poop is just everywhere! Perhaps the management is unaware of this major problem and maybe they could send a letter out to pet owners reminding them of their duties to clean up after their dogs but the weather is getting nice and I would hate for us residents to miss out on enjoying the property because of this. This in no way is to make this community seem horrible because it is an excellent place to live but maybe this will help the problem if some pet owners are reading it. I just know that if I were a perspective tenant and I saw all of the dog poop everywhere I might be turned off and look elsewhere especially if I had children.
