bad place to live

I moved out of the Regency around summertime 2008. During my stay there, the conditions were pretty tolerable (nice enough- but lots of bugs, dumpster divers, sewage problems, and unreliable internet). The maintenance man was very good about fixing the issues we had in a pretty prompt manner, but even for all his hard work the place was kind of a dump. The outside could use a new paint job (very outdated looking, and it seemed I needed to call the maintenance man much more often than one should normally expect. I just really couldn't take living there after the new management guy turned out to be a crook. WOW- stealing people's packages, taking money from the owner and tenants, and lord knows what else. I lived there for a while regardless of the level of safety I felt before this incident (referring to stories of people's cars getting stolen and broken into, strange people lurking around the complex, loud noise pretty much every weekend, often weeknights also), but after that thief manager, I just didn't even feel safe with the people in charge of the place. I mean, didn't the owner or ANYONE take the time to REALLY CHECK him out''' I found info just putting his name in the OK courthouse site. how easy... anyways I just thought after something like that , it was time to go. I'm not writing this just to be rude, I just think people should know what you are really getting into when you are looking for an affordable place to house yourself and/or family. The price may be good, but the maintenance guy's service is the only other worthwhile thing about it. I would continue my search for a home beyond Regency if I were to look now knowing what I know. People deserve honesty. Happy hunting.

OH YEAH- have to mention that the manager I was speaking of above was offering money off of tenants rent in exchange for writing a good review on this and possibly other websites! So what you are reading in other good reviews about Regency is likely a LIE! Trust me.. you don't want to get involved with this place.

... its amazing how people have nothing better to do. This post has been made from a previous employee who was let go after using company time to do personal things. Unfortunately, she is correct about the previous manager that was there.... for that is myself writing this post. This employee was nothing but a dramatic trouble making person who was let go after she was deemed a failure. Again, unfortunately what she said about previous management is true... that is why there is a new management team. A great lady managing the complex with years of experience beyond what I could imagine. Regency is a good complex to live in. NOT the best. But the owner is willing to spend whatever money it takes to make tenants happy... and THAT is something that you will not find anywhere else. Give Regency a shot.... I think you will like it.
