Review for Wildwood Manor Apartments

I have lived at this apartment for 1 1/2 years. What was I thinking? I guess I didnt have time to look. The only thing that is working in their favor is the location. I use to be living in the 220 apartment complex right in the middle away from Mathilda avenue. I will try to pen down everything that I can remember so that you can make good choice.

The complex is very old. It has never been renovated ever since its construction. The appliances are really old. The apartment has storage areas next to the garages but guess what I have put my self on a queue for 1 ? year and yet to get one. The apartment management seems to be giving these out to people who pay more. But they will never admit it.

The floors and the walls are not noise protected at all. One can hear the littlest noise the neighbor is making. This is very annoying. Worst is that if you were on the 2nd floor the neighbor will keep complaining that you make noise even though all you were doing was walking around naturally and watching TV. The management is inconsiderate about the poor quality of the apartment.

The elevator in the 220 building is tiny. You cant even fit a twin size mattress in it. The elevator is never cleaned. The elevator makes a lot of noise, which is scary cause while you are traveling you, can see that their permit is never current.

Maintenance is poor (people are taken for granted). Arrogant management. The management allows workers to enter the apartment without notifying you. I have had things that have gotten stolen while Maintenance people were working at my place in my absence. Reporting it never helped.

A lot of incidents have been reported about car theft and people breaking cars and stealing things. This is the reason I am moving out. The apartment management knew about this issue for a long time. I spoke to my neighbors and was told that about 16 cars were broken in past 3 months. All the people who went through that have left the place. I spoke to the management but in vain. They said that they dont think its their responsibility to even alert residents. Anyhow, Good luck.

Moving in is hard if you are not living on the 1st floor. Tiny stairs make it really hard to haul the couches and beds in.

I was promised that the Laundry and the Gym will become 24hrs soon after I moved in but that hasnt happened in the last 1 ? years I have been there. It was a plain lie so that I can sign a lease.

In all the apartments are old, congested, lot of noise pollution due to Mathilda Ave, and Central Express way.

Did you know there is no air conditioning? So, that is another pain considering that you cannot open the windows, etc due to noise.

If you are planning to live in the apartment even after reading the above, May the force be with you.
