Review for The Retreat At Candelaria Apartments

Incompetent manager, rude, inconsiderate, disrespectful to the disabled. Two of the staff are incompetent including a maintenance man who is sloppy and rude (left awful debri in my bathroom after his work). The manager and two of the staff are so stupid that as of now a person including kid can still be killed. Security is useless and rude (United Security). A fat idiot and a skinny do nothing is what they have for security, and you cant count on the Albuquerque police to do anything but stab you in the back and lie most of the time. The walls can easily be heard through, there are too many sprinklers that make a soggy mess of the grass. Absurdly in a few places there will be three or four sprinklers a few feet apart and for small patches of grass, WHAT THE HELL? I repeatedly had to ask for repairs and they don't get fixed. For over a month, since I moved in, my toilet has been turning once to twice an hour so that I can't sleep. The paint job in one section of the apartments is dismal: it looks like army barracks around here.

The decks are ugly, really cheap: the flooring has this weird gray plastic look with sharp bumps on it and the railing is scary, don't dare lean on it because it's flimsy.

The stairways also suddenly make loud creaks, as if someone is standing outside your window or coming up the stairs.

You can see into peoples' apartments if you go halfway up the stairway and look at the bottom of the blinds.

I was told there was free wifi, only to find out that it was a lie, and after about two months still nothing. And get this: they record your surfing activity if you use their internet computers.

Their pool room is embarrassing junk, like some abandoned place you'd find in the woods.

There are also some really loud dogs in my section, and they freak out every now and then over nothing or when playing and are incredibly loud, you would be amazed.

There are no large boxes for mail, and so you awkwardly have to keep going to the office to retrieve any mail larger than the standard cubby hole, it's really annoying, and sometimes they don't find all your mail, so you are left wondering and anxious and unless you make them double check you may end up wasting your time at the post office.

The staff is friendly though, way more friendly than at La Paloma or Wyoming Place. I don't like the manager though, she's a petty bitch.

The laundry selection on this website is malfunctioning, there is SMALL a small laundry unity though strangely they staff person I spoke to never mentioned it, not that I remember. There are other small laundry units in the other apartment sections nearby.

The pet rent price is absurd. How are people supposed to help animals in this economy with such a high price? God what a sin.

Also you can tell they don't care much about the apartments because when I moved in I had to have things placed right away and they left paint splotches on the window and ugly as sin bare aluminum window frames.
