Let's start off by saying Wildwood will promise you anything to get you to move in...
THEN THE NIGHTMARES BEGINS.


First we were shown several apartments that were not ready to be viewed.

They looked old and worn-out but we were PROMISED that everything was being updated.

Well when we arrived on our move in day the apartment was half --- painted and partially cleaned.

Maintenance on my apartment looked as if a 6-year-old child did it to say the lease.
We have had no pest control since we moved in and when we called the office they say we were there but no one answered-- BULL.

Someone is always here.

When I mention I had pest problem in the apartment I was told why are you feeding them.

The windows don't work, some are cracked, screens are either taped in or held in with screws, and kitchen cabinets doors and drawers don't work properly.

The electrical issues are a code enforcement nightmare.

Faucets still leaking after calling in every week for repairs.

Broken water pipes (clothes were soaking wet carpets wet and did they send someone to clean the carpet NO did they offer to help pay for the laundry bill NO), sewer back ups (NO one cleaned the carpets or disinfected anything), ceiling fans that don't work, and the so called front yards and back yards there all SAND AND WEEDS.

If the manager Sara Slayers or Kathy would only get out of the office and meet with some of the residents after they move in or after maintenance work was performed in her community she might think about replacing the staff before the owner replaces her.



If anyone has been encountering the same problems as we have I would suggest that you write the owner of this community.

Remember Wildwood Acres motto is "WILDWOOD ACRES IS LIKE LIVING IN YOUR OWN HOME...
" It should read " IF YOU LIKE LIVING IN A DUMP YOU'LL LOVE IT HERE"

i have lived at this complex for over 8 years now, and i love it here. yes, it is like living in your own home and like having a place of your own things do happen. my a/c went out the other day and a worker came over and cleaned all my coils and checked for any leaks, there were none so filled a/c with a coolant and everything is fine. my electric bill dose not go over 100.00 a month in the summer time and my apartment is well insulated. i have been through 3 hurricanes here and my apartment held up with out any problems and i felt very safe here with my four little dogs. your back yard is what you make of it, i water it as much as possible and take care of it so it looks nice, also planted my own plants and put a nice canopy off my back door. i noticed a lot of people that move in here with big dogs don't take care of there animals, thay let them dig big holes in there yards and leave them out all day to dig out of there yards and chase all over this property. i can;t walk my little dogs in fear of one of these big dogs attacking them. the same people that don't take care of there dogs don't take care of there apartment homes, they let them chew up everything and instead of putting there garbage in the compacter where it belongs they just set it on there front porches because there to lazy to empty it themselfs. all you have to do is ride through this beautiful property, even if it is over 30 or 40 years old and you will see the people who really like living here and take pride in there apartments just by how they look on the outside. if your looking for a good steardy apartment and not a cracker box with loud music pounding on your walls all hours of the night, then WILDWOOD ACRES IS THE PLACE FOR YOU. august will be my 9th year living here and yes i do plan on signing another lease and the office crew are the best you will meet. they are down to earth and take care of there residents.

It sounds like this guy is confused. He has 4 dogs I wonder how his place smells and what kind of damage his dogs makes. Maybe he doesn't have any other place to go with 4 dogs so he complains about others with dogs and for somehow he thinks that other people with big dogs don't put their trash into the proper container. What's that all about? Look for a real feel on this place just visit it on a weekend night. Go to the pool for the best view of all the sex going on in the pool at night, move in then complain and see what happens, have the maintance guys show up to fix something on a weekend or night the smell like they have been drrinking, or offer them a beer and they will drink it while fixing your broken faucet. Here's a good one, they will say I can't fix that I'm too busy right now or they will say I don't have the parts or the office didn't order the parts because there no money this month for repair items. BUT OFFER THEM SOME CASH TO FIX IT and their there in 10 min with the parts.
