Tenant Reviews for 1010 KNOLLWOOD DRIVE

Should be shutdown

The front doors all have broken locks, didn't see not a one that worked, and they haven't in well over 2 years. The vents are horrible, you can hear stuff rattling around in them and they barely move heat/air. The A/C is total junk and struggles to keep up in the summer time, you'd be lucky to get the temp down 80 degrees. The parking lots are tore up and filled with monster sized potholes. Parking on weekends is impossible, even though tenants have a parking permit they still can't find a spot because all the stereo-blaring,at 1am, ------ thugs are hanging out in the parking lot with their friends doing drugs. don't expect to get much sleep on weekends because of it. The water pipes are so old that your water comes out smelling like a raw sewage plant. I personally lived on the top floor and every time it rained hard or snowed water would come running down the walls in the apartment, which in turn caused huge sections of paint to peel inside my apartment. I reported it many many many times, even have copies of written submissions to the office, to which they always said "oh the painters are on their way". They said that for an entire year and it was still not fixed by time I moved out. If you have children you don't want to have them growing up there. The area in general is unsafe and filled with drug dealers, gang-bangers, and thugs. The office staff is more useless than a one legged man in an --- kicking contest. Most of the Garden level apartments have crazy water leaks coming in from vents in the boiler rooms, terrible terrible design flaw, which cause the entire garden level to flood (have pictures to prove it) which they never fix or do anything about. Nor do they even tell new tenants about the problem and just go and rent them out. Ive literally seen them flood so bad that there was well over 3 inches of water. The maintenance staff is comprised of illegal aliens who are not qualified to fix anything and barely speak English so you can hardly even tell them what's wrong, thats IF they show up anytime within a week of you reporting your problem. Have even seen maintenance staff members drunk off their ---, laying in the middle of one of the courtyards,because he was so drunk he fell down, in the middle of the day, while he is suppose to be on his way to apartments to repair things. You've got so many layers of paint of the walls and window sills that if you even touch it has a 97% chance of chipping and getting all of your apartment. The laundry rooms have mold all over them and half the machines either leak or don't work. If they do work, be prepared to pay a crazy price to use them and that's only if you can get at them. Overall this place doesn't care 1 bit for any of the tenants or problems their complex has. They allow just about anything to go on so long as they get their money..Including let a 3 room apartment being occupied by 3 full size families. 5 adults and 7 children in a 3 room is just insane. If you do move in, no matter how well you clean the place up and fix things don't expect to see your deposit back ever.

If I could rate this property as a negative I would in every single category. They lied about the utilities being included to get people to choose their location over another. Just this week I had a tow sticker on my vehicle That's registered with the property sticker in the window but apparently since I haven't moved my vehicle for the week that I was on drill for the Illinois National Guard. And this is the 2nd time after making things clear to the property and the towing company. It appears to me they receive a commision on vehicles that are towed out of the Pite. The police came door to door last month wanting to walk through the Apace searching for a man that was wanted and hiding out somewhere in the complex. Every night in the Apace across from mine you have the couple that are smoking and getting high just about every night when I get home from work. I Renuinely don't think that I need to list any more because this has turned from my review into a novel. Even though my lease isn't up until Jan of 2013 I moved out months ago and am just stuck paying for the rent on a property that I wouldn't allow my pet to even stay at. Beware of this Pite for sure.

Peace of ----.

I used to live there. First of all, the owner hides the ownership. The manager is a peace of ----, doesn't know what she is doing. Secondly, the maintenance sucks big time. During winter they never cleaned their parking lots. As a result I fell and injured my back and shoulder. The Alat I lived in had bad carpeting so asked them to change it as I had frequent sinus infections. They didn't budge. This place is really a peace of ---- and you can get a much better place with more dignity and respect towards you for the same amount of money.

Don't live here?

This complex sucks. this place is supposed to be security. How can it be security,when some nimrod leaves the door open with the tripping hazard mat they have in front of the door.Also don't get an Anit on the 1st floor,you're bound to get loud --- neighbors who have a loud --- baby crying at all hours of the early morning when you are trying some sleep,or using their Anit for a damn gymnasium or music lessons.Those kind of people you don't want as neighbors they are ignorant and don't give a rat's --- about the people who live in the building around them. I am breaking my lease,this place sucks ---. I am going to move somewhere else where it's quiet.

A waste of ------- money?

This Pite is a ------- dive. The property manager is a two faced lying -----,who thinks her ---- don't stink. I wish I could have that ---- fired she sucks donkey ----. My car got broken into by ------- and I called the cops and they say I should talk to that ------- ---- about the situation,she still hasnt done jack ---- about it,when my lease is up in August I'm getting the ---- out of this gangster ------- complex,and moving where I wont get ----ed in the --- and not feel it,oh yeah and the maintenence are lazy -------s too,they still haven't fixed my bedroom window. I guess they want to wait till they here a woman was raped and murdered on the news before they come and fix it. What a bunch of scam artist cocksuckers!

Horrible.

Im sure you have all heard the saying "This could be worse." Well you've found worse if you decide to move to Schaumburg Villas. This place wasnt up to par when we moved in and it certainly isnt even close to being up to par now. From their lazy, unresponsive maintenance staff to the rest of their awful mgmt company. It's so blatantly obvious who writes the good reviews for this place. <br><br>Gosh, where can i start. The buildings are a bit run down and the garbage cans and their areas overflow with trash. There's one laundry facility on the second floor of each building That's filthy. Yes folks, one washer and one dryer for 6 apartments. There's also one water heater for each building which means taking showers that change from shockingly cold to scalding hot. My Apace had a problem with cockaroaches and no matter how many times i called to have it srayed it didnt help and no one seemed to care. Maintenance would never come when I asked them to. They would show up 2-3days after I called them about a certain problem such as a leaky ceiling. The Plowing was horrible, the day/night of that big snow storm we had I couldnt get my car out because it was burried in 6 feet of snow, no one came to help me out.<br><br>Since There's absolutely no security in the buildings, certain people in my buildings would jam the lock open with pennies and all sorts of things, I would call and complain about this and nothing was done about it. The key to my mailbox broke and it took them a little over two weeks to get a new one. I see police cars almost everyday around the complex. Its surrounded by low income housing and It's just basically in a not so good area, I don't feel safe coming home at night after work. There have been a couple of assaults on woman, but that was before I moved in. Still, Its not something to take lightly.<br><br>I highly suggest that if you are looking for an Apace to not even consider this place. Its not worth the money you pay, although It's pretty cheap, but these days you really get what you pay for and from the day you move in until the day you move out you are going to be dealing with a problem almost everyday.

RUN AWAY Fpeedy

This place isn'thing but a --------. The manager is a snotty --- ------------ who should be reported to the corporate office of this -------- dive for being rude as mother----ing hell,if they are told not to enter the Auite numerous times they will and they will make up a ------- excuse why they have to be let in to the Auite. WHAT PART OF I DONT WANT YOU IN MY MOTHER----ING Auite WITHOUT MY MOTHER----ING PERMISSION DONT YOU UNDERSTAND U DEAF ------------!if u ask them to come and fix something they take their sweet --- time,by the time they show up u could have the ------- problem fixed and then they will show up and say we are here to fix it,my answer to that ---- you its fixed we dont need your assistance you dumb lazy ------------! I am getting the ---- out of this --------,and breaking my lease they can stick thier grand vista up their -------s and rotate. This place should be named -------- VISTA!

Not a Pocation for descent living

can't live peacefully. Old appliances. Washer/dryer never works. The mgmt won't even take care of it. <br> <br>Doiled washer/dryer room.

Horrible! Werrible!

First of all Im out of this place thank god my lease expired. i left and its been 45 days and they still havent refund my security deposit. Ive been in there office several times daniella has the worst attitude and has no knowledge of what shes doing. Ive spoken to Elia and all she did was transform my call to maintenance, shes another ignorant person That's helpless. I asked to speak to the owner and the owner doesnt want to talk to noone and said he doesnt want to know anything about security deposit!! can u believe this, after i paid my rent on time was never late. I took pictures of the apt. which was left Pxcellent condition. I would never recommend this place the wall are so weak, theres never enought lightning, alot of violence around, and grimy. if u have children don't go there.

Keep away.

If you want to move here,please beware! It's not as great as they say It's.The walls are paper thin,you can hear everything your neighbors are doing.The maintenence people are a bunch of lazy bums,The air conditioning/heat thermostat in my Alat never works properly mystove takes 45 minutes to get at the temp I want it set for when I cook, my bathroom sink has been leaking for the last 2 weeks,I have called the Btructure since all these things broke 2 weeks ago and the woman in the office I think her name is Jennifer,says someone will be there shortly and they never show up.I might as well fix the stuff myself,or maybe I should just report this complex to the BBB or health department. Maybe then something will be done about it. I am seriously thinking about breaking my lease and I will if nothing is done by the 1st of the month. This place sucks! I can't believe they charge such high prices for rent when you have to constantly complain to get things done. You sure don't get what you pay for.
