Tenant Reviews for 5430 Birdwood Rd

I was looking for a small, quiet community w/ convenient parking, good pricing, and comfortable atmosphere. This place is all that and more. The price is right, I have quiet, respetful neightbors, and the managemnt is very responsve to any needs/requests. I will definitely be here for a while.

I Loved this place when i was there and would certainly go back.Thier manager tries hard to help everyone,also its very quiet and thier prices are exelent.The peolple that are looking for somewhere to stay they should certainly go to Braeswood Plaza Apartments,also the the staff is very great.To make this short im just saying that i strongly recomended it.

Im am so amazed of how quiet this property is. Its what i was looking for all the other properties i have lived in have been so noisy,high crime and in very bad positions. I recommend people to move here the staff is very nice any emergencies they are there to help and fix!!!!!!!!!!!!

When I first moved in here I was allured by the $450 move in price, good/quiet location, low crime rate, and, yes, the high rating on THIS site. The first month seemed great. Then I got my electric bill and found out, despite using my a/c only at night and leaving no lights on, I was running $250 a month in electricity due to their old appliances. The proof...when I bought my own fridge and window a/c that next month my bill fell to $30 (no joke, you can consult Green Mountain Energy for records on this property to prove it)...the internal a/c also broke after 1.5 months and, rather than fix it, they blamed me for it. They also blamed me for breaking the fridge by turning it off after I figured out the 20 year old monster was burning up my electricity bill. Then after about 3 months all hell broke loose. Not only did leaks spring in both the window and the roof (the latter of which maintainance refused to fix). My live-in girlfriend was almost mauled by a mad dog owned by someone living on site and, despite several warnings from myself and at least 3 residents I know, the management did nothing about it. Oh, and by the fourth month roaches and flies and ants were all popping up everywhere out of the pipes. Pest control was promised to come once a month, but never arrived and problems have gotten substantially worse since August. To top it off there is a HUGE pothole, not there when I first moved in, in front of the main office that makes parking around it virtually impossible unless the car you own happens to be Big Foot. And, if you want to get internet...good luck...it took me 3 installation techs just to get AT&T to get fiber-optic internet installed and it broke after just two months with the techs confessing "we can't fix it...the wires are too old and badly maintained". The alternative, Comcast, doesn't even have the complex in their database (too tiny to list?) and refuses to install internet there....I've tried both routes and they both failed. I wouldn't be surprised if the recent great rating on October 12th was made by someone hired by the complex to write the review. If you can stand having a "part-time-job" fixing windows/roof leaks, installing window a/c's and refrigerator, defending yourself from being blamed for breaking appliances, and negotiating your innocense concerning electricity bills for the cheap price, go for it, otherwise I'd suggest you leave your efforts toward more fulfilling pursuit. !!!!Also, the price is rising here, I've spotted office flyers saying the minimum price is rising for $450/mo to $500/$499. This place no longer has much economic justification for falling apart like this, yet it is.!!!!! I'm moving out as soon as my lease expires...

ALL I CAN SAY IS WAT A RAT HOLE!
