From Alison3233: I moved here Summer 2005 and the then manager (Mike) was replaced by Dick. I feel very fortunate to have such open communication with a landlord. He is very hard-working, always available by phone and extremely diligent about the needs of his residents.

Avalon Park Vista: So So (Not Recommending)

2007-04-25T13:34:54-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Our apartment was ok, except we were located directly above the dog run and therefore subjected to loud voices, barking dogs, and nasty smokers on a daily basis. The building was fairly quiet otherwise.

From -Anonymous-: Well I wrote the first review of this apartment complex back on 8/24/2001. I really tried to present a fair picture of the place.

From AvalonParkStinks: When I rented this apartment, the on-site manager was great - fair, reasonable, repairs done quickly.

Avalon Park Vista: What are you thinking! (Not Recommending)

2003-10-17T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I am not certain why other entries would try to rationalize how customer service can suffer for the personal life of the manager.
