Review for The Birches Apartments

My husband and I moved in back in 2006 and decided to renew our lease since we didn't have plans to go anywhere and wanted to save the extra $100 to go month to month. Well huge mistake, we have caught a peeping tom/burglar at our apartment 4 times until we decided to move in to my parents place for safety reasons. Then, our neighbor saw the same guy come back while we weren't there trying to actually break in this time. That is a total of 5 times and the apartment manager was of no help. She was very defensive and rude. She spoke to us as if we were her employees and acted as if she had some kind of right to be upset...if anything we should be the ones upset for paying a costly rent amount and not even living there. We wanted to get out of our lease right then and there, but all the ***** could say is "well that can happen anywhere"...true, but I'd rather take the chance somewhere else rather than stay at a place that I know for a fact that has a peeping tom/burglar on the loose. Also, if this were to really happen at say a house I bought, I still have the option to sell and move or at least invest in my own security systems, but living at an apt., well that's just stupid. Why would I invest any money into this place when they can't even invest a little bit to ensure proper/adequate lighting at the very least. The only thing the apartment did do was change our outside lightbulb and from what my stay-at-home neighbor said...she was even complaining about doing that much. Luckily, our lease is up soon and we will definitely be getting out of there. Recently, we went to the Brenneman Farm apt. complex and the leasing office said they were currently at 100% capacity...I highly doubt The Birches is even at 75% capacity...and it really is no wonder why. The apt. manager is rude and thinks her **** don't stink (whatever ***** you live at the apts. so don't act like you are above anyone! and don't tell my husband to be professional when it's obvious that you lack professionlism for the mere fact of telling a tenant that they are being unprofessional...*****, he doesn't work there, he doesn't have to be professional...this is not his profession and even if it were...there's a little something called customer service), the grounds are unkept...i'd say horribly kept, but they simply aren't just kept at all, the apts. itself are run down on the inside with appliances from the early 90's and carpet that is disgusting, they don't properly clean the apts. before you move in, and they try to fool prospective tenants with their model that looks nothing like the real thing. They really are just money hungry and could care less if something happens to you b/c of their unsafe grounds...you really would have to be raped or murdered to get any action out of these ppl. but even then I wouldn't count on it. Their "luxury" apt. living advertising is a joke unless luxury has all of the sudden took on a completely different meaning. Just please, please, please do NOT move here...I've lived at other apts. before and none have ever been this bad. Please ignore any reviews that are remotely good b/c they are all lies or they are naive or they just haven't lived here long enough.
