Idlewylde

 

It is my belief based on actual tenant experience that the majority of comments on this post are accurate regarding true Idlewylde experience.

Do not be deceived! If you are coming from a cave -- you may be impressed, otherwise, you're in for the shock of your life!

One call doesn't resolve the cockroach problem regardless of their origin, the entire building I lived in was infested and other residents complained! I vouch for the resident that states they've endured this problem.

That's why I eventually moved! I, too, had to contact corporate after failed attempts to resolve the probably amicably with the office, and while corporate did intervene, the problem persisted.

The office sent out an exterminator that made five minute visits over and over with no resolution.

Is it true that expecting different results with the same approaches defines insanity' They just didn't care to explore the matter beyond minute surface resolutions that meant investment for them.

I've lived in several apartments along the entire east coast including New York, Virginia, North Carolina and now Georgia and all of my experiences of "upscale communites" did NOT include residency with roaches even with tenant turnover.

The properties were such that they proactively warted this problem with regular and routine exterminating.

As unreasonable as it may be, when you're not used to living with roaches and contending with such mentality that turnover breeds this problem, it's not fun! An infested tenant would not complain -- that's familiar territory to a person of that nature -- otherwise this situation warrants fair COMPLAINT!!!!!! I, do however agree, that in some communities by the looks of things, it's to be expected, but honestly just looking and for the prices, I don't think most of Idlewylde's tenants are prepared for the experience of cockroaches regardless of the reason.

I experienced absolutely no regard for me as a tenant.

I was never late and rarely went in the office because I didn't want to experience the rudeness.

The staff threatened to call the police on my 10 year daughter when we moved in because she went in to ask where the playground was, and they didn't have time to be bothered with her.

The bottom line, the problem is real, cockroaches, rudeness and all! Attempts were made by the manager to make me feel demeaned (which didn't work) to the point of stating, I was the only case they'd experienced as there were no other complaints -- and I find apparently this too was a lie by the 12/18/2006 posting, although I didn't care if my problem was the only one as it was the only one that mattered to me!

Do your homework!!!!!! Visit, ask (inquire) and review.

With exposure they actually may have a change of venue and start to treat their tenants respectfully! The expectation is to assume an establishment in solicitation of patronage would demonstrate such (excellent) treatment to their patrons/tenants (especially when you're paying on time as I did, etc., and there is no need to compliment good service as it should be STANDARD, however when you are shocked by not only not receving this, but it's to the extreme of degrading, extremely negative treatment on the far side of the scale -- that should be revealed and few will step to the plate, however, fortunately some will!
