I lived in Castlepoint for 4 years and found it pretty pleasant, with no major issues. The apartment is old, the appliances are old and the wallpaper is coming apart. But I didn't have high expectations because I liked the location.
However, when I moved out, the management sent me a list of unjust charges. First of all, only the maintenance guy goes out to view the apartment and write up the charges. I requested to be present when he did the final check to make sure that what he writes up is true but was denied. The response I got was "it doesn't work that way".
I borrowed a carpet steam cleaner from my friend and cleaned the entire apartment when I moved out and they still sent me a bill for carpet cleaning ($50). I told the manager that I steam cleaned the carpet prior to move out and they said "Oh you didn't need to do that". Also, they charged me $40 for new drip trays and drip rings, which retails for $20. It is ridiculous to assume that the drip trays and rings will still be shiny after 4 years of living there.
Its just your word against theirs and they will find any way to make you pay them even after you move out. There are so many more apartment buildings in the Michiana area. A lot of newer ones around so avoid Castlepoint like the plaque.
