Yo!

The Sentence is Over ! ! ! !

From: -Anonymous-
Date posted: 2/21/2004
Years at this apartment: 2004 - 2004

 
In a nutshell, stay away from this apartment and also a company called ’Planned Property Management’.

The company’s tactic is to offer you a deal which you have to decided within the day you visit apartment. Don’t fall for that!!! I did, and the result was miserable.

Take sometime, do some research. Don’t be a victim like me.
Like other user suggested, there is a severe noise problem in this building. Some machine in engine room always making loud noise and you can hear it clearly in your apartment. If you get high floor, don’t expect to have a peace of mind during the summer since they have the whole engine room + pool on the very top floor. When they start running the pump for the pool, there’s a low humming noise in the apartment all the time and management couldn’t do anything much to fix that.

The wall between each apartment is too thin & hollow. Neighbor is even more annoying. Watching the movie & listening to the music late night with a big home theater set. The set that can shake your floor & your wall. Now imagine that you have to go through it during the night.

My laundry basket was stolen once. There was once that someone turned my dryers from ’Normal’ to ’Fluff No Heat’ while I was away. My clothes weren’t dried and I had to put more money & waste more time. Some of the driers are not quite good. There are circumstances that my money stuck there. Considering it’s $1.25 / load, it’s really expensive.

Elevators here is a joke! They have their own mind. i.e. you get into the elevetor on 5th floor and trying to go down to the 1st floor, there are about 70% chance that it’ll take you up to 32nd floor before bringing you down. Most of the tenant I talked to got stuck in the elevator once. I can hear the elevator alarm almost at least once a week.

This apartment have package receiving service. However, the lady that do the package receiving is incompetent. There are circumstances that the package was delivered but no notice was left at my mailbox until 2-3 days later.

2 good things here are the view and door staffs. But considering all the hassles I had, it didn’t worth at all. ’Coz I had to deal with these problems rather than enjoying the view.

There are better deals around gold coast. Keep looking and remember to stay away from Planned Property Management, and you’ll be just fine.


My sentence is over!!! I won’t be looking back for sure. For all my apartment needs, I’m not gonna trust this company anymore.

I highly recommend these websites as primary resource :

Good Luck
