The Franklin (formerly Willow Park Apartments): Poor Management Company (Not Recommending)

2005-12-19T10:00:44-06:00

From jarnac12: I was a six year (1999-2005)resident at the apartment. I really don't have any complaints other then the management staff which is Etkin and Company.

2003-03-09T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I just went and had a tour of these apartments on 3/8/03, they seemed nice and the leasing mangers seemed to be very nice as well.

Every 2 months there is a new manager who is clueless.
There is always something wrong/broken in the apartment.
Tenants are loud, obnoxious, and nosy. They constantly congregate in the lobby area.
Parking lot vandalism and theft.
The unit itself is decent (if you don´t mind the wood-colored cabinetry).
If this ... [click to read full apartment review]
