I wanted to start by saying I just moved to the community and it has been a great place. My new home was clean, bright and the office staff always greets us with a smile, they even have cookies out for resident. I love the pricing and the fact that all utilities are included. If you want a great place at a great price I would check this place out!!

Another way to sucker people out of their hard earned money. I see they are still trying to cover the truth about this complex being a DUMP! If you move here you'll be sorry.

Yeah, this is clearly someone from the management staff. Who wants week old cookies...

"If you want a great place at a great price I would check this place out" ROFLMAO. Who's writing this crap, a staff with a gun to his or her head or a resident living under a rock. Obviously, a resident would not post "great price" and encourage people to "check..place out". If you have lived here like I have and dealt with former manager Dana and now Sherry, the fact remains that this place is still a sewer landfill. From the rats that scurry between the bathroom and kitchen floors to the pilled up trash that collects overnight from lazy tenants who refuse to pull a latch and drop the trash down the chute, paying an all utilities included price won't stop this from happening. Pain and frustration would summarize the experience I have had and I just can't wait to get out of this lease agreement. The best opinion you can get is not from staff postings. Speak to at least 3-4 residences, asked them more than 2 questions about the place, and then form your own opinion. And, if you like smelly hallways and rat feces then "WELCOME HOME!!"

SERIOUSLY, I have been living in the rental office building,, which is 5802 Annapolis Rd, and it has been terrible. Everything that everyone has said negative IS TRUE! I have seen roaches everday for the past 13 months all over my apartment. Not just one or two, I'm talking about at least 10 a day. In my bathroom, on my bed, in my sheets, on my dishes in the kitchen, the living sofas, the jacket closet near my front door, I mean pretty much every place in my unit -- there are roaches in it! If you move here after reading all of these reviews, which are not ironically all negative for nothing -- THIS IS FACTUAL INFO and if you move here you are seriously a BIG FOOL! I never received my referral fee of $500 from the rental office, the maintenance sucks and they take months to fix anything, security is not consistent. I mean, anything that you can possibly think of that you wish could never happen living in an apartment HAPPENS HERE! Serioulsy, it's probably worse than "Good Times" because unlike JJ and Penny, there are NO GOODTIMES living at the Phoenix. The rent is ridiculous -- now starting at $40 shy of $1100 for a one bedroom. Utilies ARE NOW BEING CHARGED FOR EXISTING TENANTS WHO RENEW THEIR LEASE AND NEW TENANTS! The worse part about it -- you are not being charged for actual usage instead it is supposed to be based on how many people live in your unit and square footage but this is NOT the case b/c I have spoken with several people who have complaints that their bill is from $200-400 and it's like this whether you have a one or a two bedroom renovated or not! JUST RIDICULOUS. DON'T MOVE HERE. I don't have mice but roaches are a disturbing issue...it's like there are millions because they never stop coming I swear. They are even in the dayum elevators for God's sake...RIDICULOUS! And the leasing consultants are rude and unprofessional to the highest degree. I can't wait until my lease is up because I am getting the hell up out of here immediately. P.S. The laundry machines do not work 9 out of 10 times and people are still pissing in the elevators. They finally just changed the carpet on almost all floors in the 5802 bldg. but things are still not improving. POOR COMMUNITY, POOR SERVICE, POOR QUALITY. The Donaldson Group -- I will never rent from you again!
