Me and my girlfriend have recently rented a two bedroom apartment at Kenton Place. At first glance the apartments seemed somewhat decent and we were not about to argue with the fair price they offered. The staff seemed somewhat friendly so we made the decision to move in. We got our keys to our room and were quickly appalled by the condition that the apartment was in. It had almost appeared that the previous residents had up and left only an hour before our arrival. The place was a mess and we spent most of the next week cleaning the apartment ourselves before we moved in. The rooms were poorly kept and the it seemed like everything in the bathrooms leaked. There was a colony of molds growing underneath the bathroom sinks which we had to fight and destroy ourselves because our work orders were never answered. Which brings me to my next concern... Only once out of twenty work orders were we once visited by a maintenance staff. The man was greasy and poorly dressed and kept and not the least bit professional looking. I was asleep at the time that he came in and left my door closed to keep from being disturbed. He quietly opened my door and as soon as he noticed that I noticed him he awkwardly corrected himself and told me he was here to fix a leak. I feel lucky that my girlfriend wasn't alone by herself when he came in. The leaks were never fixed and within the next few days our home was infested with roaches. Every night it seemed, we killed at least one roach scampering across our kitchen counters. But what most concerned me was level of safety. The apartments consist of nothing but thugs and punks who give you nasty looks and size you up as you walk from your car to apartment or vice-versa. I was always afraid to let my girlfriend walk to and from outside at night. Frequent drunk drivers fly through the apartments at night with their music blaring, shaking the entire complex ruining what ever hope you have for a good night's sleep. I've even witnessed a drunk driver slam into three parked cars taking too sharp of a turn. The accident happened right outside our window. Luckily for us, since the parking was so terrible, our car was parked three complexes over, thus avoiding the accident. In the short couple months that we have stayed at Kenton Place, our car has gradually accumulated scratches, dents, dings, and even a stolen antenna. Our staircase scared the living hell out of me. It often creaked and swayed, as we moved up and down the stair case. The railings and steps were loose and we were always paranoid that stairs would cave in. And to put the icing on the cake... Shortly after my encounter with the maintenance man our apartment was ransacked. Lots of cherished items were stolen and left my companion traumatized and deeply upset. We had enough, threatened the manager with legal action and were permitted to leave within the month. Due to the low quality and level of safety at these apartments I would STRONGLY recommend single and young women and families with children: STAY FAR AWAY FROM THESE APARTMENTS.
