Resident 2012 - 2017

2/3/2017

I have no personal problems with Parkwood other than the fact it is not the nice place people say it is. It is way over priced. 1,000 a month-seriously! Not close to anything, not walking distance anyways. I have lived here 4 years and hated it from day 1. I only moved in because of the month to month and was not sure how long I would be in Palm Springs. They have no balconies, the traffic is very loud. I can hear sirens, cars going by, trucks and motorcycles very loudly even with the windows shut and door closed. I put my fans on high to drowned out the noise, but it is till very loud. Apartment even rumbles as trucks go by. There are dogs everywhere you go, poop everywhere you go. The manager even sent out an email to everyone saying that she picked up a bucket full of poop that the tenants do not pick up themselves. This was not in the doggy park, but in the regular living areas-Nasty!! She only put this out after complaints were made over and over again. Might as well not have a gated entrance because everyone comes in. If you can't get in because you do not live here, tenants that line up behind you at the entrance let you in not knowing who you are. Management does nothing about it. The only area to barbecue is by the pool and it is one barbecue that is never clean. Tenants stand right in the way of the entrance way as you come in and do not move-ridiculous!! My air conditioning has went out every summer at minimum of 3 times a summer. They then make excuses and promises they do not keep and you s pend 3 nights at a time without air conditioning in over 100 degree temperatures. The cabinets and drawers in the kitchen are coming apart. When myself or neighbors use the shower(warm water), the water heaters rumble very loudly. Sounds like people are pounding on the walls or an earthquake is starting. ------- the manager three years ago was very nice, but left for better atmosphere and better pay. The rest have been horrible! The female one now is extremely lazy and does nothing the others did. They promise me new a/c but never get one. They let me suffer through the heat and offer no refunds for motels or credit to my rent. They tell you they do not spend money on apartments because they do not want rent to go up, but rents are much higher now. I moved in at 795 a month now it is almost 900. The new tenants get charged 1,000 a month. If you complain about the poor treatment they will threaten to kick you out. Maintenance guys are not very good. They rarely fix things correctly and you have to call them back again and maybe again. They also enter your apartment on their own without you saying come in or being there when you did not say they could. They had one that was stealing things. A tenant caught him on video recording. Constantly have to deal with dogs baking all day, annoying. Small laundry room with 3 washers for over 80 units, not to mention they do not get your clothes clean and do not drain completely to rinse so they use dirty soapy water. My clothes come out stained, dirty and spotted. It is not a safe place and not in a great neighborhood. % minute walk in you are in a very bad neighborhood. Do not move here if you have kids!!!!!! Dogs are treated better. People let their dogs jump on you as you walk by and ---- wherever they want. It smells like urine when the grass gets wet. Do not walk in the grass barefoot, it is a toilet for dogs(the regular area as well as the doggy park). The gate doesn't close after you come through so many cars follow you in-even if not tenants. Not Safe! why are you paying for a gate that does nothing. I am finally moving, yippee. I have been extremely depressed here. My new apartment is 1,000 a month and has a balcony over looking the pool. Has a walk in closet, extra closets which parkwood does not have, 2 pools, tennis courts, fitness room, yet the rent is the same as they are now charging here. It is a 5 minute walk to stores and restaurants. It has life. It is also updated and parkwood is not. The water here is also very hard water and hard on your skin(Things float in the water). Since I have lived here, twice someone got into my bank account, makes me wonder???? Please look elsewhere, get much more for your money elsewhere
