Not a safe place to live

I've lived here for the past 9 months, and have found that the area is very unsafe. On top of that, management does little to increase security, and therefore I cannot recommend anyone living at the Manhattan Apts.

I chose these apartments because they are cheap ($400/month) and close to work (I work at ORNL). It's been convenient, but that does not compensate for the security issues. My places was robbed after I had been living here for just 4 months. Management did nothing to ensure this wouldn't happen again. Just this past week, my neighbor was robbed, and again they refused to do anything. Luckily, my lease is running out this month, and so I am moving out ASAP. I will pay more wherever I end up, and I will have a longer commute, but I do not feel safe at the Manhattan apartments at all.

On top of the security concerns, the washers and dryers in the complex are often dirty of not working. I no longer use their washer dryer utilities, I use a nearby laundromat. Additionally, the apartment managers have changed 3 times since I've been a resident, probably due to complaints from the residents. Current management is not friendly or helpful.

I agree. Saftey was a big concern there and the laundry areas are horrible. Management was not attentive to my needs either.
