Review for Herrington Woods Camp Apartments

I have read many reviews about Herrington Woods Apartments in Lawrenceville, GA and have decided to give my review since I am ending my lease with them. If you are thinking of becoming a resident or are a resident of Herrington Woods Apartments, then I only ask for you to read this review in its entirety. I’ve been a resident of Herrington Woods Apartments since August 2007 and have rented a townhome. It’s a nice townhome; cosmetic changes to the outside of the community have been made, but none in the inside. The previous director, Michelle, which was here before was very cold and at times rude including a couple of her staff. The current director, Rubi and her staff are a bit more pleasant and somewhat understanding. I encourage you all, before considering a residence here, BE SURE that you can make your monthly payments because they’re help is very minimal and the costs are truly EXPENSIVE! I have called maintenance several times over on problems inside the townhome and it has never been resolved. For example, my dishwasher kept flooding and they kept trying to repair it and it still didn’t work. Instead of replacing the dishwasher, they decided to just leave it un-repaired. Another one of the complaints is the filter for the air duct which is supposed to be changed every six months. It took for me to go down there and ask for a filter for it to be changed. You may think this is petty, but they are supposed to come and do a check and necessary changes every six months and NEVER DO!!! So DON’T EXPECT for them to do to anything or even put in a “ticket” for a repair…but this may change after this review. A previous resident in the community whose townhome was broken into and robbed of their possessions; there were no letters on the doors from management stating the incident so other residents can be aware that there are break ins in the community. Police are here almost on an everyday basis and recently on a raid in the apartments in the back. Management are so QUICK to put a notice on your door on your lateness for monthly payment, but never to WARN you of life matter issues that is a concern of their residents. But PLEASE, don’t think it’s all the management’s fault….OH NO! Let me give you an inside description of what is done in every apartment complex. The OWNERS of the complex hires management companies, such as Concord Management to run their property, collect payment, etc. When you, as a resident, complain to the management company, it’s just a WASTE OF YOUR TIME! You are just complaining to them about what they do and don’t do, but not to whom the property really matters to the most….THE OWNERS. Yeah, they’re probably out-of-state owners and don’t know anything. WHY? Because the management company running the property gets your complaints…NOT THEM. And, oh boy!!!...If they do in fact do get the complaints, SHAME ON THEM!!!! But of course, they’ll deny it just to cover their own rear ends! And what do they care anyways because after paying B.S. expenses and debt services, they are living off of YOUR MONEY, AKA CASH FLOW! So yes, Herrington Woods and their “so called” management company can do as many “tenant appreciation days” or “move-in specials” to keep and bring people in, but I tell you this…DON’T BE FOOLED BY HOW NICE IT LOOKS....THIS IS THE HOOD!!!! And they can try to make changes as much as they want, but it takes a good management company and owner’s who care to make a difference. I would rather YOU, who are reading this to invest in your own home or go elsewhere…hopefully to where it’s GATED!! Love & Peace…GOD BLESS!
