I dont understand the people on here that gave positive reviews. Parking is slim, Units are falling apart, washer and dryer always broken, securety at the gate is almost never there, pool is dirty, and and noise will keep you up all night! I moved to CP at the same time as 2 other friends and we all moved out as soon as we could. My carpet was in unlivable condition when I moved in and I tried for months to have someone come out and clean it. No one ever did. a few months after I moved out I find out that they have reported me to a collections agency for guess what... CARPET CLEANING BILLS! I now owe CP $270 for a carpet I begged to have cleaned and no one there seems to give a crap. NOT good for a ND student, NOT good for anyone.

We have lived in Castle Point Apartments for 18 months. In the beginning of our first few months minor things happend, the bathroom faucet, tub stopper and the hallway door fixed. The neighbors are noisy as most college bound kids are, the hallway area smells disgusting and the neighbor's small children threw large rocks around in the parking lot, cracking our windshield. Several times we've called to have the plumbing in all areas caulked for the cigarette smell seeping into our apartment from downstairs. Every month for the first year, maintenance was out to fix the toilet from overflowing. The refridgerator stopped working and was replaced, along with the dishwasher. 10 feet of insulation was stuffed under the back end of my kitchen sink to fill in a gap. I'm still not sure what this means exactly. The patio doors allow cold air to fill the room requiring the heat to be turned on continuously and a fleece blanket hung over the blinds. The carpeting started turning up stains and we were accused at that point of having and I quote " keggers " and " spilling beer " at parties we never had. My husband and I are in our late 30's with a 14 year old son, our wild and crazy days of partying are long gone. All this seems bad, inconvienent and excessive, however we still stayed because of our lease, the part I am most concerned with is the 2008 october morning in which my son's entire ceiling caved in, everything was covered with drywall, and insulation, when I called management to report this, I was told they weren't sure where the maintenance man was but would send him out as soon as they found him. Upon his arrival, he stated we would probably need to wait for a contractor to come and fix it. *really?* After 4 days of the insulation filled room, the contracter *who was wonderful* came out, fixed the ceiling, checked all the others and cleaned my sons room so well, you could barely tell it'd ever fallen. We went to speak to the manager who then accused my son of tossing a basket ball at the ceiling, thus bringing the entire thing down. She did tell us we could move. This was great news, but financially we were unable to do so, as the waiting time for our deposit to be refunded was 45 days. Now, it's February and we've found a wonderful place with an option to buy...I should get to my question, not only do I have pictures of the worst of the events, the many request forms submitted and work done was sub par at best...do have enough..to break my lease?

The hits just keep on coming at Castle Point! That hallway smell there reminded me of the smell of an old Catholic Church. You're right. It is disgusting!
