Tenant Reviews for 4503 S Kirkwood Rd

I have always lived in apartments and I love the space here! I have been here for 6 years and yes have seen a lot, but the managment is always available and work hard to keep up with everything! There is never trash on the grounds, everyone is helpful and I love how big the apartments are, I have tons of furniture and there is a lot of space! Plus my RENT IS SO CHEAP! There is always someone available to answer my questions. I read all the nasty comments and wanted to make sure someone heard how great they really are! Those that said all those bad things probably are the the problems! I will not move and love it here!

I lived there for 7 years at 1st it was all good (like most relationships) then the true colors of the people and the complex started coming out!!! I have seen drive by's, fires from 6 moths ago and the apts are still burned, kids breaking into cars and apts (the residence kids) thugs and drug dealers hanging out all hours of the day and night, 2 people get shot and more gettinmg shot at, ac's being broken for weeks on end and noone fixing the problems correctly, the access gates drive thru and walk-ins constantly broken, management is always changing every month, they are rude and seem to be racist at times, and since hurricane ike (9/13/08) all the damage is still apparent, its nasty and now since the gate is broken down between the bayou and the parking lot of the apts alot of snakes have ended up in the parking lots now... The only good thing out of this story is the apts are huge and cheap and I love my next door neighbor, she swept my grandfather off his feet they are now in love!!!!!!!

I was forwarned about this apartment but when I came it was quiet and I fell in love with the size of the apartment. Plus, the $99 move in was a greater bonus. Now, I constantly hit myself over the head with the decision that I made. If you have children I highly recommend that you do not move here. There are gang members, and the thugs that hang out all day. They take Section 8 which I did not know so you see the women go off to work and their weed smokin, pants hanging, looks like they just rolled out of the bed men stand outside drinking and rolling blunts. Let's not start about the staff. I've been here 4 months and there has been 4 different office managers and staff. So, they change things up all the time. My apartment was not ready to move in. It took me 2 weeks to get a refrigerator and I still have a broken dishwasher. In the second laundry facility only one washing machine works. WARNING!!!WARNING!!!! BEWARE

This place, as stated by the other reviews, is HORRIBLE!!! My a/c has been broken for going on 3 weeks now, and Ramon, the mainenance man, does NOT do his job! He's been out there 4 times so far for this ONE problem, and it's still not fixed. I've been having to live at my parent's house for the past 3 weeks because it's too hot to live in my house, and they want to give me a $50 Walmart gift card as compensation! My dishwasher has been broken since I moved in, 6 months ago and I'm only NOW getting a new one. I had to threaten to call the corporate office before I got a new toilet and got my apartment exterminated. The interiors of them are very dingy and they don't clean properly before they lease them out. My kitchen and dining room linoleum floor was GRAY when I first moved in. I thought it was just that color...until I accidentally dropped some bleach on it and found out that it's white linoleum, just EXTREMELY dirty. There's paint all over the carpet, and they only painted 2 days before I moved in, so now all my doors stick. They told me when I moved in that they were in the process of putting in a card access controlled entry gate...the gate hasn't been replaced and is open 24/7 to let anyone who feels like coming in, in. The parking lots are horrible, they don't keep up with the landscaping, so there's constantly broken glass on the ground from all the hoodlums that run around. The cheap rent is NOT WORTH IT!!! You will have nothing but trouble with these people, they don't return your calls or give you updates on your issues, and the maintenance is absolutely worthless. The ONLY good thing about this place is that, for the most part, you can park right in front of your apartment, so that you can hear when your alarm goes off from someone trying to break in.

The apartments are a disgrace. I have been living here for 1.5 years and as soon as my lease is up Iam GONE. The management has very high turnovers and the have one maintence man for the entire complex. The vandals break in your cars and apartments and destroy your property and the complex is unsafe with criminals hanging out side all day.

If you like to have stuff fixed when it braks or a bulb outside goes out to be replaced do not move here! I have had a horrible expeirence with englewood place. At first the mgmt and leasing agents were nice but then once I moved in and started having problems they were very rude and very slow. Even when I threatened to move out they said "oh well we really dont care". I strongly sugget that if you decide to move here ask them if you can see the property first. They will probably tell you it's not ready and instead show you a paper floor plan of what it will look like. The apts and townhomes are all falling apart and mgmt does not want to fix anything. People are moving out left and right.

i wouldnt reccommend anyone to move here if u have children because the area isnt so great but if u a single couple you could manage some things the management was ok

We moved as soon as possible, while we were there we experienced 3 breakins, one into our apartment, and twice with our cars, if you have children, or are looking for safety, don´t move here.
