I have been a resident of Idlewylde for almost 3 years. When my husband and I signed our lease, we were told all of these wonderful, lovely things. This was my first apartment, so of course, I thought everything would be peachy keen! That was my fault and one should not believe everything that they hear, even from the mouth of someone that is selling you something. So, the first year, things were decent. I had a neighbor threaten me, we saw a few fights, had another neighbor that liked to bump the bass at 3 in the morning... the usual. These were things that the office could not control. After the first year, there was a decline in service from management. I was told by an employee that certain members of the leasing management are flat-out racist! This is from an employee! That is a huge problem! There is no more security company that patrols our neighborhood. If there is a problem, we are forced to call the Gwinnett Police Department. Speaking of... my husband had talked to a few officers and was warned to moved out of this neighborhood as soon as possible! Fortunately, we have not experienced any break-ins, but my husband has had a broken windshield from kids that throw rocks, and I had scratches on my car from the same issue. Maintenance can be speedy some days and slow other days. It all depends on who you talk to in the office to request service. We have had our apartment damaged by maintenance (laziness and not completing the job correctly). Oh...the gate issue....let me tell you about that. Last year, it was opened all summer long. It is not Idlewylde's fault that idiots follow people in and even crash into it, trying to get into the neighborhood. That is plain stupidity. What is their fault is that they do not fix it in a timely manner. So far, the gates have not been closed at all this year. Wonderful for a gated-community. Although we have been safe for our stay here, we would not recommend it to others and would warn them to read between the lines and do as much research as possible. It looks so pretty on the outside though! By the way, after the first year of your lease, rent sky-rockets and is not worth it!
