Apartment Reviews for Honey Tree Apartments - Richmond

My wife and I lived at that place for almost two years after transferring our careers out of Charlotte. At first, it seemed nice and relatively affordable for us after we got married. Little did we know what misery would ensue for us, not long after we moved in, the community was engulfed by numerous fires. We had concerns for our safety, but with the management staff they seemed very arrogant, condescending and in denial when questioned about the fires. We started hearing of break-ins, teen-age gangs roaming the grounds at all hours of the night, loud obnoxious residents partying at all hours and reported police shootings all on our block. We started to realize that the “behavior” of the “newer” residents was going downhill and fast. We had reported viscous dogs running loose around with no leash ordinances, my wife was charged and threatened by two dogs; she reported it to Animal Control and the property management, the Honeytree staff dismissed us as usual and made fun of her. Unprofessionalism doesn’t even begin to define the incompetence this "Side-Show" has to offer, my wife couldn’t go to the pool or fitness center anymore for fears of being harassed by unsupervised teens. At times I had walked in on teenagers loitering, partying and sleeping inside the fitness center at all hours of the night. What became an annoying- inconvenience turned to fear for our safety and we felt that we were in danger by living there. My neighbor locked her keys and cell phone in her car and asked someone at the office to help her, the woman denied to help her and said "It was a maintenance issue for the grounds people", who by the way also did not show up to help. Finally, when I got home she said she was walking the grounds trying to find help; I came out and called out a locksmith. These are only but a few disasters we experienced, our old neighbors said they had it even worse than us, if that's possible. We consider ourselves fair and tolerant people, we too can’t find anything positive to say about this complex. Renters beware! It’s very likely that some of these recent posts are embellished and fictitious reviews just to distract you from the numerous other dangerous and realistic experiences like we encountered.
