I have lived in Plainview for almost three years. Since I've lived here, it has been one mishap after another. The staff has been terrible. I hate to call anyone incompetent, but that is what they are. They seriously do not care. Rent checks are cashed sometimes the same day, but maintenance calls (even some serious) have taken days - a few have taken weeks. Don't fall for the "indoor and outdoor swimming pool". They do have an indoor and outdoor pool, but in the three years I have been here, the indoor pool has almost never been available for use. The outdoor pool was closed all last season, and part of the season before. (They don't like to pay lifeguards, just like they don't like to pay maintenance people) I doubt they have more than 3 maintenance people here - for 480 apartments in the complex! I've never been late on my rent in 5 years with AIMCO (3 with Plainview), but every time they get new managers (very very very often) I get an eviction notice. Once I had a squirrel in my apartment for a week, with very little help from the staff. (Had to stay somewhere else) When people are disruptive in the community (parties, driving on the lawn, taking up three parking spaces, etc) the staff just does not care at all. They have lost important financial documents. (Lost! with my social security number on them) They lost them! Sometimes you don't get rent statements, and no one in the office can tell you what your rent amount is. (due to utilities/sewer,water,etc that is added monthly in varying amounts) They don't appreciate anyone who is here. This year, I asked for my renewal lease agreement in December. It is February and still nothing. Dragging everything you own across the street to another apartment complex is an extreme inconvenience, but it's gotten to the point that I have no other choice. DO NOT, whatever you do, go to live at Plainview! They have new management every few months and make promised they cannot and do not keep. The maintenance is terribly understaffed. The pools are never open, the insulation means super high heating and cooling bills, and the actual office staff is 100% incompetent.

We just moved and are extremely happy. When we put in our notice to vacate, they didn't even try to to retain us. In Oct '07, we had a car run thru our patio and into our Apt. They were quick to help clean up and board everything up, but that is where the help stopped. Trying to get it all fixed was a nightmare. When we moved in Jan '09, the fence and patio still wasn't painted. The carpet was never replaced. We found shareds of glass fromt he patio doors when we moved the furniture out, showing where the didn't do a very good job cleaning after the accident. This was a great place to live. It has a great location but it has gone down hill fast. Don't waste your time or money.

Honestly - I couldn't have written this better myself. I've only lived here for 12 months, but "incompetent" is exactly the adjective I have used when trying to describe the staff here. Over and over again - problem after problem. I'm looking forward to moving out soon.
