This month my wife and I decided to break our lease and move out regardless of the threats we received from staff about getting sued "for thousands of dollars".
They allowed 10 mexican s to move into the front apartment which if we read the lease it states that any person NOT on the lease cannot stay for more than 7 days. Well, I sincerely hope that they did not allow 10 people to live in a two bedroom apartment.
Their apartment emanates a strange smell all day long, like burnt lizard and tequila. They have mexican parties, scream like some kind of wild chickens and park their mini vans with racing spoilers on my garage driveway.
Below us moved in some black thugs. They are home all day and night and we can hear the low base constantly throughout our apartment. On top of that, we are running into different people everyday coming to "visit" these punks.
Now, we are good friends with our neighbors across the hall who are black. No racism here, so if you have something to say about it, youre wrong. They have complained many times to the office about the mexican s and thugs and they do nothing. They only care about having the apartments full. This is also true for section 8 and I heard somewhere that there are many Katrina "victims" living here. You know the ones... The ones that 4 YEARS LATER are still living for free, not working and driving around Escalades with 40" rims.
The gates work sometimes, sometimes they are broken. Sometimes a "security" guy is parked at the gate asking if you have permission to enter when the gates don't work. Sometimes there is no one there and admission is free and to anyone. My car was opened and my GPS, cell phone and Ipod were stolen at 2 in the afternoon on a Wednesday. There are many pitbul owners living here. There is drug dealing going on. The pools are always full of all kinds of people, I mean to capacity type of full. The staff never corrects any problems. The contracts are way too one sided.
If you're an illegal mexican, or a drug dealer, then by all means, do move in. This is your safe haven.

I have lived here since September and cannot wait to get out of here!!!! I hate the little thugs that come by running and knocking on my door when they get home from school. I have three kids and they would never do something so stupid. I have raised them better than that. I too am thinking of breaking my lease due to the fact that I can't even go out the back gate without having to wait for the parade of people walking all across the street. Last I looked we have sidewalks.

My thoughts exactly! We are going to put in out 30 days notice soon! And incur and huge (2 months "market rate" rent). Good luck with you future properties!

You forgot to mention the film of dirt at the bottom of the pool from kids bathing in it.

I just wrote a review and felt like commenting on this post.. "regardless of the threats we received from staff about getting sued "for thousands of dollars"--Are they threats or letters that state what the lease charges are in your lease if you leave? "They have complained many times to the office about the mexican s and thugs and they do nothing"--Call the cops and have them come out and deal with the noise disturbance. I doubt the office can fine them or arrest them or whatever you think should be done. "The pools are always full of all kinds of people, I mean to capacity type of full"--It's nice that the pool is the popular place to be! =) My small daughter likes the water park thingy they have, it's fun!! And yes, there are all kinds of people there. There isn't just one 'type' of families that live here, that would be profiling if there was I would think... I haven't had any major problems and I love my apartment. My family and I are very happy with our decision to lease here! And our puppy too!

People, all I have to say is DO YOUR RESEARCH. When I first moved into Idlewylde I was sure I would not have to leave here for at least another five years. After signing a one year lease that I was advised not to break, I am OUT OF HERE and counting down the days. I do not feel safe here anymore. The staff has been awful to me ever since I signed my lease... Not to mention all the crap I have experienced here. If you're gonna spend this much money on rent, choose wisely....
