It's ok

The price is decent. It's very quiet. Starting to go downhill since the on-site management position was eliminated. Constant hot water issues. Lived here 2 years. The water heaters can't keep up with the number of people living in a building. Currently on the 4thā€¦Ā See More >

        SO much to say here... 1. Management does not respect your privacy and neither do your neighbors. Has phone calls constantly about stupid complaints... Felt like we were being watched. 2. Parking sucks. Usually have to park in the visitor section which is even LIMITEDā€¦Ā See More >

          Do not live here! This is a breeding ground for vandalism. Vandalism has been brought to the attention of the property manager for this complex. But they do not care. Cars are constantly having there windows broken out. Office management will inform you that securityā€¦Ā See More >

                      First of all, if you currently live at Deerfield or any other Goldmark property, don't bother cleaning before you move out because you're not going to get your deposit back. I recently moved out of Deerfield only to get $45.00 out of $300.00!! Seriously notā€¦Ā See More >

                          I would never live here again. Parking is awful! If you're not home at 5pm or earlier, you'll be parking either back in the dark guest parking or at the gas station down the road (and that's real nice when you're 7 months pregnant). Youā€¦Ā See More >
