Property and Managment are terrible

We didn't receive a water bill for months on end, but our eviction notice came when they failed to send a water bill. There is only one trash dumpster and it was emptied once a week. The trash around that one dumpster would get very big on the weekends and the days right before the trash was dumped. In our second month living there the trash was not picked up for over 2 weeks. You can't imagine how much garbage was in the area of the only dumpster.

Electric bills are very high here. Our small one bedroom apartment averaged over $225 in the spring months long before it ever got hot. If you live downstairs be ready to hear everything your upstairs neighbors do! Parking is very difficult after 6pm. On the weekends don't even try to get a spot near your building!

The worst part about living at Sypglass is the manager Abby and office staff such as Megan. They do not explain the complicated lease terms upon move in. NO matter if you paid all your rent on time, left the apartment totally clean, and checked out early (like we did) you'll be sent a $600 bill. Abby makes no effort to call you on the phone when problems like this occur. Instead she is quick to turn you over to collections.

Please be very careful when you rent here because the manager will do everything to make sure your rental history and credit history is ruined. Not worth it!

Just a few responses... If you move out early you will be charged because you did not fulfill the lease. If you are not comfortable with the lease paperwork, might I suggest NOT signing it?

I happen to agree about the staff...Abby and others are very hard to work with. I'm sure there are problems everywhere though.

I haven't had any problems with the staff and I have been living at Spyglass since Feb 2007.....My husband and I live in a one bedroom and have never paid more than $150 for our electric bill each month.....May I suggest to you.....TURN OFF YOUR LIGHTS and CEILING FANS....use natural light....maybe even open your windows when it's nice outside.....
