Laurel Springs

My husband & I have lived here for almost 3 yrs & have found it to be quite a pleasant experience. It's quiet & MOST of the neighbors are friendly. Maintenance requests are handled in a timely manner w/ friendly servicemen.Some of the neighbors have "issues" but other than that I have nothing but positive comments about this community. It's quite a pleasant change after living in the Loft Apts where my neighbor was a CRACK dealer & management REFUSED to do anything about it even after my car was vandalized. more

PLEASE DON'T LET THE MANAGER SUCK YOU IN!! LAUREL SPRINGS IS THE WORST PLACE I HAVE EVER LIVED!!! YOU CAN'T GET ANYTHING FIXED AND WHEN YOU FINALLY DO, IT IS ONLY HALF DONE. I HAD A BROKEN STOVE THAT COULD NOT BE FIXED AND IT TOOK OVER TWO AND HALF WEEKS FOR THEM TO GET ME ANOTHER ONE. THE CARPET IS TERRIBLE IN ALL THE APARTMENTS. THE NOISE LEVEL IS HIGH. YOUR PERSONAL PROPERTY IS NOT SAFE...AND YOU MIGHT NOT HAVE A CAR WHEN YOU GET READY TO LEAVE IN THE MORNING FOR WORK. THE OFFICE STAFF DOES NOT CARE ABOUT YOU...ALL THEY WANT IS YOUR RENT!! PLEASE DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME AND RENT AT LAUREL SPRINGS. BELIEVE ME YOU WILL HAVE TO MOVE OUT AS SOON AS YOUR LEASE IS UP. THE PLACE IS AWFUL. POOR IS EVEN RATING THE PLACE TO HIGH!!!! more

When FMA bought the place, it was supposed to be a great improvement. Instead it went downhill very very quickly. Laurel Springs is supposed to share a half time maintenance person with another property. when that person quit, they never bothered to replace him. The apt. manager went from being an easy to work with got things done individual who seriously only cared about covering her own end. I used to be able to call things in, suddenly everything had to be in writing. The repiping project destroyed many of my possessions and ruined others as the hired painters and texturers did not bother to take care of anything that was in the apartment that couldn't be moved. We also were given NO notice about the painters or texturers coming in and only lucked out because my husband was home and able to move some of the things out of the way before they showed up. I second the fact that the maintenance was done on a schedule that seemed to be completely random. Everything for showing up and supposedly fixing things and not leaving any notification to having less than 24 hours notice before they were doing a major repair. Not to mention the time windows of 3-5 days for some things (like painting the decks) were given and you were expected to just upend your entire layout for them for this odd amount of time - whether or not it worked for your schedule. I'm so glad we left. more

I lived here for six months. When i moved in i thought this place was goig to be fantastic, I loved the apartment, loved the location... This place is HORRIBLY managed. During the summer there were LOUD, and by loud i mean VERY loud drunk people in the pool until 3 and 4am rather consistantly... The maintanace men would come, always unannouced to do repairs, and on more than one occasion i was greeted by seriously out of line comments from the oldest of the maintenace men. This place is great on the outside, but super sketchy underneath, as well as severly overpriced. If your thinking about living here, try the Loft around the corner, its cheaper and a lot nicer. more
