Benson Downs Apartments

After 8 Years of Apt Living, This has been the WORST!! From: -Anonymous- Date posted: 3/4/2006 Years at this apartment: 2005 - 2006   Here are the positives: The apartment has a great floorplan, including large bedrooms with walkin-in closets and newer appliances. The kitchen offers ample cupboard space and a double sink. The office staff was great . . . when we were planning on moving in. As for the negatives, the list is endless. The walls are ultrathin and noise easily comes through. The parking area is cramped... some spaces are smaller than others and the covered parking spaces are extremely tight! The majority of office staff are difficult to communicate with and do not respond to complaints. We have found the management to be unaccommodating and unsympathetic to our needs. Certain members of the management are not discrete with personal and apartment information. Moreover, there is one garbage dumpster for the entire apartment community, causing the trash and recycle areas to be piled with trash bags and the like. The entry/exit gates have broken (staying open or not opening all the way) multiple times during our 6 month stay here. And... Maintenance is prompt, but often needs to make multiple trips for things not being fixed the first time. Finally, the price is too high... for what you get. Tenants pay for water, sewer and garbage, while many neighboring communities will do that for you. We thought we checked this place out well, walking the community and driving by at all hours of the day and night... but quickly realized that living here was a different story. Try Indigo Springs in Kent... we've heard wonderful things about them and their management. Wish we would've known. :(
