If you are looking at the Overlook, keep looking. I was conned into moving in. First, I was told that the main office burned down from an employee leaving a candle lit overnight. I later found out from Homewood FD that it was arson - someone lit front door on fire. Everyone I talk to state it was an angry tenant at the staff - and now I can believe it!!! Then, they lied about free tennis lessons for the tenants. Then they stated that the front gates will be functional in 2 weeks . . . it's been 2 months and nothing. Looking at pior reviews, its been years!! Then they lied about the new construction on Mansard Dr. They stated they were building a Recreation center for the tenants (after hearing about free tennis lessons and a Rec center, who can turn this place down). I later found out what they’re really doing is re-building the townhomes that BURNED down!! That’s 2 fires in less than 12 months! Run away!!!

The manager sucks!!!! She is the biggest liar - very unprofessional. Never calls you back, her reason: "They didn't leave me your number." I witnessed one of the office staff write my name and number and put the notice on her desk, what did I get: same response!! She doesn't care.

The maintainance. . . what maintanence' You have to call 5 times for them to fix your problem, then they do a half-ass job just to shut you up and get out of there. When I first moved in, we discovered 20 items needing repairing on our “walk-through.” Well, it’s been 2 months and I’m still waiting. They are VERY understaffed here, and I understand if they have other emergency jobs to do. But, PLEASE, dont lie to us anymore.

So called 24-hr emergency operators. They are the rudest, nastiest people I've ever dealt with. WHen I first moved in JUNE, my A/C wasnt working. WHen I called the operator,she said she wouldnt write down my problem bc it wasnt an emergency. Then she hung up on me - when I called back, she said "Shut the f**k up" and hung up on me again. WHen I told the staff the following day, they didnt care at all.

I know this is long and I hope it helps. Believe me, I can write a whole lot more. THis complex basically exists purely as a tax write-off for Landmark, and they dont give a s**t if the place burns to the ground. Dont rent here!!! Leave!!! Trust me, it's not worth it!!

Sounds like our experience. When we first moved in here our AC didn't work and it took over a week to get it fixed! It was last August when we moved in, so the apartment got a bit warm. Experiences since then have been the same or worse. Our lease is about to be up and we're working hard to find somewhere else to go.

I moved because the electricity bills were $250/month for a 1BR apartment. Couldn't afford to run the AC - very poorly insulated.
