Champions Park

My husband and I have lived in building 5 for 2.5 years and are thankful our lease is over. The first year was okay, we had some issues with the management because they couldn't keep our rent straight. We received a few notices that we didn't pay rent when we had. When it came time to renew our lease we decided to stay as they only raised our rent $20.00 and it is a pain to move. However, looking back it was a big mistake. The complex has gone down hill and is poorly managed. The people they let move in are VERY trashy. We had a neighbor down the hall that left bags of garbage outside of their door. Squirrels would rip the bags open and string garbage all over. We complained several times and nothing was ever done.

Noise Level:
We live right next to the playground, basketball/tennis court so naturally it is noisy. The frustration is when teens play basketball at midnight or 1 in the morning in the summer which happens daily.

Grounds:
The place is very trashy. I have literally come home to trash spread out on the lawn. I guess they just couldn t make it the extra 10 feet to the dumpster. Littering is a HUGE problem as well as dog crap. Everyone is suppose to pick up but no one does which is really frustrating because the landscaping is illogical so you often have to walk through grass to get where you are going and be very careful not to step in it. Living on the 3rd floor during the winter is very scary as they do not remove snow in a timely manner.

Construction:
The building has settled significantly since we have been there. It is to the point now that our bedroom door won t shut. The window blinds are very cheap and fall apart easily. Our outside door knob fell off and we had it replaced only to have to have it fall off again 2 months later (maintenance sucks). They tried to charge us $50.00 for replacing locks, but we disputed it.

Office Management:
For the entire time we have lived her we paid in advance and have received over 10 notices that we were going to be evicted for not paying rent. Every time it was their mistake and we never received an apology. I got so use to having to fight with them, I stopped paying by check and only paid online and ALWAYS printed the confirmation. Even with this evidence they STILL thought I hadn t paid and requested a bank statement! Now that our lease is over they have the nerve to raise our rent almost $200, you couldn't pay me to stay any longer.

I wouldn t recommend living here, the complex is trashy and so it the surrounding area. If you absolutely need to live here make sure you keep good records of you payments.
