Residences at the Falls, October 2006

If your renting:
We thought we had found the ideal complex, drive up to your unit, nice pools, decent looking laundromat, etc. We were lied to from the beginning by some chick called Sulei, that must be blowing someone in charge, cause she ----s up on a regular basis and they still havent fired her. She told us there was immediate occupancy when there wasnt, and we had to put all our stuff in a storage and wait 1 week. When we did show up a week later as we were told, she had left a message for us that they werent ready yet, as we stood there with a rental truck full of furniture. Fortunately for us the one person that seems to know what to do was there that day. They then gave us a unit which wasnt ready for new residents, ie: broken fridge, dishwasher. They changed the fridge but never did anything about the dishwasher.
In the 2 months we were there we saw the following:

-a leak in the roof of our 1st floor unit which took them 4 weeks to get to.

-the pools were shut down due to code violations by the county health inspector.

-dumpsters filled to the brim right before and during the last of the Hurricanes, thank God it wasnt a bad one, or else there would have been debris and trash everywhere and who knows what damage it would have caused.

If your buying:
There seems to be water leak issues all over the place, because we saw it in our unit's roof (meaning our neighbor had some leaks also), our bathrooms, this would concern me very much as a potential buyer. These buildings are old and fixing old pipes would cost a fortune in assessments.

I would be concerned about the association fees and future assessment costs. With a management team who's priority is to sell their units at any cost and desperate to sell in a tight market I would be extra wary of this complex and all its hidden cons.
