Decent for the Price

I have lived at Falkland Chase for roughly nine months now. I plan to leave, but only because I need to move to another part of the city.

The dog policy is wonderful, it is so nice to find a place that will take dogs. The hardwood floors are nice, and I love the size of the bedrooms in my two bedroom apartment. However, if you like to cook, you will run into problems because then kitchen is tiny. The bathroom is also small, and there is no ventilation so we did experience a problem with the dreaded black mold.

The staff has been nothing but nice to us. Repairs were always done as quickly as possible,and as mentioned below you can report problems online. What attracted my roommate and I to Falkland Chase was the price and the dog policy. If you are not picky about having the newest apartment, than Falkland Chase is well worth it.

I will say that I have had some issues with noise from the apartment above, but that was because they had a giant dog and just were rude people. Just be careful if you rent a ground floor unit as I think all the apartments have hardwood floors so that means lots of footstep noise.

Yes the paint jobs suck, but then again, this is not a luxury apartment. If you like garden style apartments and hate high rises, Falkland Chase is a decent place to start. The grounds are really nice, and I feel like I am living in a park.

We did have some rent issues, and were repeatedly charged a fee for something that we did not need. While it was an annoyance, the management was courteous and always recognized that it was their fault, but it took five months to fix.

One other not so important thing, there are these weird floodlights on the outside of most of the apartments. While they are great for safety reasons, I would invest in curtains or else you will feel like it is daylight 24/7.
