The Fields: Worst Place I have ever lived (Not Recommending)

2009-09-01T10:17:23-06:00

From mjjbd@aol.com: The fields is the biggest scam in the Apartment industry. I lived there for over a year and all I had was problems.

The Fields: Avoid this place (Not Recommending)

2009-07-24T07:40:22-06:00

From -Anonymous-: The management team is very rude. They treat wil disrespect and have an attitude when you try to communicate with them. One in particular always has a negative and condescending tone when talking to you. They charge WWAAYYY to much money for their apartments. If you want to be ripped ...

The Fields: I've lived here for 5 years... (Not Recommending)

2009-06-28T20:09:33-06:00

From -Anonymous-: ....and I have been through two owners. The previous owners (Abodes) were very friendly, but did not upgrade things like the washers/dryers in the wash room, fix the grounds, or keep the landscaping trimmed. The current owners (Inland America) seem to keep up on all of these things the Abodes ... [click to read full apartment review]

The Fields: Another Cheated out of deposit/terrible management. (Not Recommending)

2009-06-24T13:25:20-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I had to call for work many, many times. The microwave door was disgusting-looking so they replaced it...with another stained one. The stove eyes worked when they wanted to. We had them out many times during the year we lived there and they never fixed it. For the rent we ... [click to read full apartment review]

The Fields: Only $900.00 a month to be miserable! The Fields is the place for you... (Not Recommending)

2009-04-13T12:14:46-06:00

From absolute_nightmare: We moved here for a quiet place to live... we should have just put a tent down on kirkwood. So it seems that everyone is treated equally terrible by the staff at the fields. They are the most incompetent, unprofessional group of people pretending to be employees that I've EVER ... [click to read full apartment review]

The Fields: Wish I'd read reviews before we rented! (UPDATED) (Not Recommending)

2009-07-25T06:13:39-06:00

The Fields: Another tale of woe (Not Recommending)

2008-09-02T09:42:28-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Like the previous reviewer, I was cheated out of my security deposit. I scrubbed and cleaned yet they retained my security deposit, including the cost to repaint.

The Fields: What a HUGE Mistake (Not Recommending)

2008-07-19T15:29:13-06:00

From -Anonymous-: The actual apartments are pretty nice, but that's because the management doesn't give back ANY of the security deposit. Our deposit was $650 and they actually charged us on top of that to paint the whole apartment when it was in bad shape when we moved in. I called the ... [click to read full apartment review]

The Fields: Good for Bloomington, horrible otherwise (Not Recommending)

2008-01-20T19:33:43-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Generally, this apartment complex is fairly nice in its apartments (but way overpriced considering these apartments are becoming out-dated). The two biggest criticisms:1. The office staff: they can be quite rude if you have any real problems and not willing to resolve2. They will charge you an arm and a ... [click to read full apartment review]

The Fields: Up and Down (Not Recommending)

2007-10-25T11:04:15-06:00

From gee_ess2007: When I signed the lease, everyone was very friendly. Moving into the apartment was nice, although there were some considerable stains on the carpets. Management has gone through two different transitions since June, so that's hurt them a lot, but I think they're on the rebound now. This is definitely ... [click to read full apartment review]

The Fields: Is Anyone in the Office Alive? (Not Recommending)

2007-06-15T09:25:25-06:00

2007-04-10T09:50:25-06:00

From -Anonymous-: This place has been managed so bad the owners were forced to sell! I feel sorry for the new owners of this place....They still have one of the worst managers in town left running this place! Maybe they will be smart enough to figure it out faster then the last ... [click to read full apartment review]

The Fields: overpriced (Not Recommending)

2007-02-25T18:56:35-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Not worth the price at all. There was about one person in management who was friendly, but now she left and there are none. The apartments may appear nice, but it is not worth the extra money to deal with the unfriendly, unhelpful management. ... [click to read full apartment review]

The Fields: Bad choice (Not Recommending)

2006-09-23T10:59:24-06:00

From -Anonymous-: At first everything seemed fine living at the fields until I realized how disorganized the office was. They never let us know how much we owed and would only tell us whatever we wanted to hear to make us happy, even if it wasn't the truth. It also took forever ...

2006-06-23T15:15:03-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Nice try we are on to you though. This is just an average place but very unorgainzed if you ask me. The price is not worth it at all. I would live somewhere else and pay alot less if I could do it over. ... [click to read full apartment review]

The Fields: The real deal! (Recommending!)

2006-06-07T13:57:02-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I've called the Fields home now for more than 3 years, and I've been overwhelmingly happy with my experience here. Visitors are consistently impressed by the property and all it has to offer. The apartments have such nice touches on them that they feel much more like a real home ...

The Fields: Would definitely recommend... (Recommending!)

2006-06-04T22:19:44-06:00

From -Anonymous-: This is the only joint in Btown that is worth living in. The price (I pay $925) is a little steeper than most, but you get what you pay for.

The floorplans are all really nice. My apartment was SPOTLESS when I moved in and I haven't had to call ... [click to read full apartment review]

The Fields: Awesome (Recommending!)

2006-05-26T13:45:22-06:00

From -Anonymous-: This apartment complex is by far the best in B-town. I lived at The Fields last year, and was fooled into moving to Smallwood this year by Smallwood's marketing schemes.

Anyway, I totally regret it. You pay an arm and a leg to live at both places, but The Fields actually ... [click to read full apartment review]

The Fields: You give "landlord" a bad name.... (Not Recommending)

2005-12-06T18:24:16-06:00

From -Anonymous-: We had to sue them...just over the application process. I would definitely say to stay as far away from "The Fields" as possible.

The Fields: Maybe I'm crazy... (Recommending!)

2005-09-23T11:42:57-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Maybe I am crazy but I lived there for two years, and the management was never rude to me?? The only significant thing I even remember is that they always knew my name.

Even if they were rude, I probably wouldn't have moved because more importantly, I liked my apartment.

Anyway, I ... [click to read full apartment review]
