Captain Parker Arms: Think twice before renting here (Not Recommending)

2008-10-05T14:13:58-06:00

From rentinginlexington: I'm looking to move out. Management is difficult to deal with, the complex is over 40 years old, and there are mold, noise, floor, storage and air conditioning issues. Management is often slow to address problems or effect repairs. From what I've heard, you would be much better off at ... [click to read full apartment review]

2008-07-23T09:40:32-06:00

From -Anonymous-: The property is older, but you have to remember the watchword of any real estate situation: location, location, location. The apartments are centrally located.

Captain Parker Arms: Beware Non-US Citizens (Not Recommending)

2008-07-09T15:17:01-06:00

From -Anonymous-: If you are a non-US citizen, do not even bother to consider this apartment complex. The management will make every attempt to rip you off and treats all non-US citizens as crimimals. The office people conveniently forget to tell you that as as a non-US citizen, you need to either ... [click to read full apartment review]

Captain Parker Arms: Apt. complex manager is a nightmare; ac doesn't really cool, floor problems (Not Recommending)

2008-07-08T15:11:07-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Although the apt. complex is in a great location, the current manager, Pam Diotelevi, lies to get you in, and then is characteristically rude and offensive once you are in. What they don't tell you: 1) the air conditioning is so old and inefficient that upper-level apartments never cool properly. ... [click to read full apartment review]

Captain Parker Arms: Well guess what - A/C down again!!! (Not Recommending)

2008-07-20T05:11:08-06:00

Captain Parker Arms: Used to be excellent..... (Recommending!)

2007-10-29T14:44:40-06:00

From -Anonymous-: ...now just good! When I moved in here, the management had just changed over to Dolben. So they were really good. If one needed stuff done, things were fixed immediately. After 2.5 years here, the attitude in the office has changed to 'if you do not like our work, move ... [click to read full apartment review]

Captain Parker Arms: (Not Recommending)

2007-09-08T11:45:25-06:00

From -Anonymous-: The rating of 2/14/2007 looks suspiously like it was written by the on-site manager. Don't believe it. The management attitude is snippy, vindictive and negative to every resident request. Partly because of a behind-the-scenes ownership feud, the management company (Dolben) has succeeded in turning a wonderful home for long-term residents ... [click to read full apartment review]

Captain Parker Arms: Awesome management, we love it here! (Recommending!)

2008-07-22T18:30:05-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Well it's true what they say about a few bad eggs...don't believe a word of it. The manager and the maintenance man both work very hard to make this a nice place to live and it's obvious they care about us and the apartments. When you call with a problem, ...

Captain Parker Arms: (Not Recommending)

2006-09-06T09:34:24-06:00

From -Anonymous-: In 3 years since Dolben took over, has increasingly become transient, short-term rental community with rates now increasing monthly. Significant maintenance done only after multiple requests. Snippy, "don't care" attitude towards tenants. Definitely not a "community" of tenants. ... [click to read full apartment review]

Captain Parker Arms: Poorly managed (Not Recommending)

2006-07-18T01:56:59-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I will agree with the person who wrote the review below. The management treats tennants like misbehaving children. They love to leave pesky little petty notes on your door, however when the A/C breaks on the hottest weekend of the summer, they pretend not to notice. If something goes wrong ...

Captain Parker Arms: Stay away from this and any Dolben managed complex (Not Recommending)

2006-07-05T12:17:39-06:00

From maggiemcc: I have lived at Captain Parker Arms since 2002. Since Dolben took over the quality of management has steadily deteriorated. The management treats tenants like misbehaving children. They also have no respect for tenant rights. After having made it very clear that I did not want anyone in my unit ... [click to read full apartment review]
