I've lived here for 4 years - three years under Patriot Village (Archstone)and one year under the Avant management. Avant management is FANTASTIC so I'm also confused about the bad reviews. They may be from previous tenants before Avant took over.

The Avant management team has visited the apartments, noted items that require repair and have actually begun the repairs. One item in my apartment (sagging kitchen ceiling) dated back to Patriot Village management that despite my numerous requests Archstone never corrected. I came home yesterday to engineers repairing the ceiling, it looked brand new when they left.

In addition, Archstone attempted 3 repairs to my leaking bathroom ceiling but never quite corrected the problem. The Avant repaired the leak and replaced the damaged ceiling 3 weeks ago. I have had no more problems.

The Avant is also doing shingle replacements on all of the roofs and I've noticed they have a better handle on the trash situation. The grounds maintenance also seems to be improving.

I am actually pleased with the change in management although at the time, like most others, I was concerned that the property was going to get worse.

So far, the Avant has my vote of confidence.
