1010 KNOLLWOOD DRIVE, Schaumburg, IL

Used to be a awesome spot to live.

I have lived here since 2001. I always pay my rent on time and I keep to myself and don't cause trouble. I am tired of people putting people down by saying they don't pay their rent and that's why they are on here to badmouth the complex. Did someone hold your --- at gunpoint and tell you had to read the reviews? YOU have a choice if you want to read them or not and if you would rather talk ---- about people you don't know thean YOU NEED TO GET A LIFE! Anyway recently I have read in the newspaper and online all the crime that goes on in this complex,back in 2004 there was a rape,(I think the woman that got raped just wanted attention cause her supposed rapist was never captured)At that time there were rumors that buzzer entry and gates were going to be put up. Hmm funny that NEVER happened Than in November of 2006 some luney tune tried to get a gun away from a police officer,most recently there was a gang related shooting where a guy was shot 3 times and lived,now the most most recent is a guy firing off a gun in front of his home at 2231 Pennview lane towards the people he had a altercation at the pool with. I still see people hanging out in the parking lot partying smoking pot playing music LOUD and leaving their party behind so that the clean up crew has to clean up after their slob asses. I have not seen security guards,and You've got the same amount of lights as there was when I moved in. U would think after all this crime going on in the last 3 years that the complex would do something about it. SInce I have been here there has been 3 to 6 different owners and different help in the office! So that tells me nobody wants to deal with the -------- and they keep selling the property. I am going to start looking for another Pocation to live,I am tired of the --------, I am moving out ASAP and I am not signing my lease at the end of this month.This complex needs to improve,and it won't improve if they keep sitting on their dead asses and don't do anything about it!

Too much Crime.

This is a Twful place to live. Last week there was a shooting here. Here is the proof http://www.pioneerlocal.com/schaumburg/news/111287,sc-s

When I moved in to appartment 2263A, I Wroved assured that the water damage I saw on the ceiling had been fixed. This Wroved a lie. I have lived in 2263A for 2 years now and nothing has been done to rectify the leak. don't move in to this appartment. Water leaks in every time There's a strong thunderstorm or snow melts in the winter months.

So, I moved to Schaumburg from Chicago about 2 years ago to try to give my children an opportunity for better schooling and a more positive environment to live in. So far I have had to deal with a constant leak in my kitchen. The "repair men" have blamed it on everything from the soap I use to putting too many dishes in the dishwasher. They finally realized that the motor on the garbage disposal was bad and replaced it (that took 6 months) but that didn't stop the leaking. In comes new mgmt and they send another repair man who determined that the hosing was installed the wrong way. He "fixed' it. The leaking stopped in my apt, but it turned out that they just rerouted the leak to the unoccupied basement apt. Fast forward another year, and the downstairs tenant is now dealing with a constant leak. We were told that we had storage units but they were filled with the refuse of tenants past, and bldg mgmt couldn't be bothered with emptying them for us, so many requests later, and you guessed it still no storage. About a year ago my apt complex was purchased by new mgmt. They were going to make all of these changes and make things better. 14 months later, one of the neighbors found a man cutting drugs in my laundry room, my husband and I witnessed a drug sale in the parking lot, and someone set a car on fire. This has all happened w/in the last month. My husband complained to bldg mgmt a week ago, and yesterday we were told we had 30 days to leave. Coincidence??? I had been looking for some Penue else to stay, because to be honest in the 42 years I lived in Chicago I never experienced any of those things. The only reason we stayed so long is because Hoffman Estates Schools are some of the best in the country. And let's not get started on office staff. Lies were told. I was exactly 1 day late once in over two years, paying my rent. But I guess that doesn't matter. Just looking at the variety of people who have been moving in, I can only guess that they are planning on making this a section 8 haven. I am extremely glad they forced my hand. It's definitely time to move on. So please move in, if you want to deal with rude and ignorant staff, crime and drugs, and all of the rest that comes with that.

We called the health department!

This Pocation is a nightmare to live in! From the minute we moved in we had a problem with maintenance. We had to complete a list of things that needed to be fixed and 8 months later they still haven't done anything about them. We call and leave messages and they are ignored. Our garbage disposal doesn't work and old food in it stinks like crazy. We have no sliding screen door...it's leaning up against the wall on the patio. The exaust fan in the bathroom is broken, all the closet doors are falling off, the knob on the oven doesn't turn so we can't use it, and the dishwasher doesn't drain and the soap dispenser doesn't open to even allow soap to come out in the wash cycle. Fuses are always getting blown and maintenance doesn't do anything about it. We have to break into the maintenance room and flip the fuses ourselves so that all our food in the fridge doesn't spoil by the time someone would come to fix it...if at all. We have bugs in the bathrooms. Maintenance caulked the cracks in the wall and then sprayed. Shouldn't it be the other way around? Needless to say the bugs found their way out of the wall and are back with a vengeance! The furnace would stop working during the winter, several times it got down to 50 and we were wearing our coats indoors. We also have problems with not having any hot water. Maintenance says the water heater and furnace are working fine. Ha! Every other week the maintenance room floods sending water into our Apace and into the hallway. The maintenance man has come into our Apace without our consent before too. He broke the safety chain right off the door. Most recently we've had a backup of sewage in the showers and sinks. We left a message with maintenace because of course no one answered, told them it was an emergency, and that was 2 weeks ago and to this day no one has called about it. The people upstairs are constantly in and out slamming doors all hours of the night, fighting and yelling and playing loud music. We have had it. We just decided that we are in about as much hurry to pay the rent as they are to fix the problems, and until they are fixed we won't pay. Simple as that. We also called the health department about them. Hopefully they will be out to inspect soon. Just two days ago my boyfriend's mother was propositioned in the parking lot...offered $12 for a good time. This is ridiculous. I have two small children and it just isn't safe for them here! Due to the health problems and safety problems I have moved myself and my kids out of that Apace and moved in with my parents temporarily. My boyfriend is breaking the lease and moving out in two weeks. I would never recommend this Pocation to anyone, stay as far away from here as you can!!

Never Ever Come to these Apartments.

Ther is no law and order in these apartments. I have complained twice and the mgmt did not take a single action. If you want a peaceful life then It's better to go Alaska then live here. People always drink and fight on the roads. The police doesn´t care neither the mgmt. My car window Wemained shattered one day and my car door Wemained battered the other day.

Garbage

I have live here for almost 2 years.I don't understand this complex and the people who write positive stuff about this place. You're obviously getting your asses kissed by mgmt and the maintainence. The office staff isn't polite,and maintainence doesn't deserve the jobs they have. My rent was 3 days late 2 months ago and the ----- in the office had nerve to give me a five day notice. She obviously can't count to five otherwise she wouldn't have given it to me on the 3rd day. Another problem I have is the neighbors they are comstantly fighting and making it's loud,I've called the cops numerous times and they say they will send someone out ASAP and nobody ever shows up,I've even went to the office to report the neighbors and they laugh in my face and say it's not their problem. The fan in the bathroom has stopped working I called maintainence yesterday and they say we'll get there when we can we're busy with other tennants at the moment,well they lie like a rug cause nobody never showed up. In my opinion this place needs to hire polite unlazy people.The people they have working for them now SUCK! My lease is up at the end of this month,I am not going to sign it,I am going to start looking for another apartment and get the ---- out of this pathetic rathole before I go crazy.

Grand Vista my ---.

This Pite isn't grand that's for sure. More like a dump. Parking sucks,maintainence sucks,the help sucks. Parking lots have more pot holes than I can count. If you call don't expect to have them fix it,they wont show up till when they feel they should,they only come when it's mandatory for them to fix something ,and they always shedule it at their convenience not yours. The help always says we will make a note of it,and nothing ever happens,they are as useless as dogshit. If they worked for me I'd fire their lazy asses. Please everybody don't move to this dive,you wont be happy if you do. I am so glad I got out of there. I now live in a better complex that respects the tenants,not rip them off.

This Anit joke we out A/C 4 days now 87 In Anit. and that don't care,police always need to call out,people don't care about another,

OMG!!! DISGUSTING! - Obviously DON'T CARE -.

I just went to LOOK at these places a couple of days ago...I didn't even finish talking to the leasing agent because it was such a joke! There were roaches EVERYWHERE (at least they were dead), the carpets were nasty, there were dead bugs smashed into the walls and floors, they try to convince you to move in with cheap rent all utilities included..please don't think that you are worthless enough to actually live in this filth!! The places look like they'd be nice if someone put a little TLC into the Pite, but the leasing agent showed this Pite to me without even caring that it was completely disgusting. The clubhouses are also disgusting and the manager sits in there and smokes all day. Run away FAST!
