Resident 2018 - 2020

12/11/2020

Wow-I noticed most of the good reviews very from over a decade ago or longer, b/c it's not I haven't seen/heard anything positive from my neighbors or online in quite a while. Firstly, I laughed out loud when I saw the prices they have listed...there is NO apartment there that is $1000 or even $1125 a month there! LOL! Big Time False Advertising! For one of the cheaper 2BR/2BA, be prepared to pay $1,270-$1,370 depending on what lease you choose. They only have 1 amenity that is actually on site and that is a "fitness area" that is ridiculously small (about the size of one of their bedrooms which are average-definitely not "large") that includes a few pieces of workout equipment. The pool and tennis court is off site in the actual Forest Springs neighborhood and guess what...you have to pay extra for a membership to use the off sight pool...I believe it's $100 if they haven't raised that cost because they are always raising costs. Even during Covid, they raised prices! Anyway, Villas of Forest Springs has one dumpster in the entire development. It is currently 9/2020 and my vehicle (along with my neighbors) has been broken into 4 times this year alone and 3 times last year and then there was the incident of the stranger trying to get inside my passenger side door that I had to call 911 about just to safely get out of my SUV. The crime rate has really spiked there, Tenants have complained about the increasing crime and requested they do something...anything...about it, but all they do is send out an email telling you to not leave valuables in your car. They won't add a security guard, not even security lighting. They will charge you at any and every chance they get. If you lock your keys inside or lose them, be prepared for a $135 rekey fee that takes the maintenance man all of about 4 minutes to complete once he gets there (I'm sure that fee has probably risen by now as well). The maintenance man is actually great...it's just that they only have ONE to keep an entire development running smoothly. Same as their office staff, they only have one person running the office at all times, so if you call with a question or a need, the phone usually doesn't get answered. That ONE office employee is out showing the mis-leading model apartment to potential tenants a lot of the time, therefore there isn't anyone to answer the phones often. Also, the units look nothing like the photos shown and the walls are paper thin...be prepared to be woken by neighbors, construction, lawn mowing that starts at 8 am, etc. if you work 3rd shift and you need to sleep during the day or past 8 am....forget about it--you will not catch a wink of sleep no matter how hard you try to drain out the noise with fans, earplugs, etc. They're constantly doing construction and they do not inform you of when the loud construction will take place. When I moved in, they didn't even replace my carpet, they just had it "cleaned" even though there were many permanent stains from the previous tenant. I moved to an apt. that is newer, in the same general area (with a Kroger and shopping center convenience) & same size & is BETTER than VOFS with full amenities included for $950/mo in Sept. 2020, so I'm saving about $5000 a year in rent alone to be somewhere with full amenities, a FULL office and maintenance staff, less crime and security patrolmen...plus my garage is almost twice the size of what the Villas offered. I'm so much happier now!
