Maintenance is incredibly slow. Had our washer and dryer broken for 2 months and they did not communicate with us or give us a solution. Had a leaking sprinkler that they didnt believe us about, it took them 4 months to do anything about and the solution was to put a hole in the ceiling which stayed there for 2 months while the sprinkler continued to leak. Honestly the worst customer service and is the sole reason my roommates and I are leaving. False and unfulfilled promises. Way too much money for a mediocre, at best, place. more ... hide ...

I have lived at the grove for 3.5 years. I have very much liked my time here. Maintenance was always quick to help fix any of my issues, and the office staff was always knowledgeable and ready to help me if I needed it. The room was great and having your own bathroom is a huge plus. There is often events going on in the main office to help you meet more members of your community if that is something you want to do, and the internet service was amazing and I had few outages during my time here. more ... hide ...

I wish I could give a zero star rating because that is what this place deserves. When I moved in a couple years ago, the property manager was absolutely amazing and so polite. Unfortunately, she left and ever since the n ew management came on site, living here has been a nightmare. Last year, my water heater broke on a Friday. I tried contacting the office via phone and email and got no response. By Sunday morning, I called the after hours emergency line since no hot water is considered an emergency. On Monday, I got a rude text message from the property manager telling me that I shouldnt have called after hours emergency. When they finally got a new water heater for my unit, they proceeded to go into my linen closet and take my bath towels to use them to wipe up all the water they spilled during install. A couple of months ago, my carbon monoxide alarm died late a night (the whole alarm needed to be replaced, not just the battery). As that is also considered an after hours emergency, I called it in. The property manager said she was not going to send the maintenance guy out and that I should just open the windows in my apartment (in late winter) and I would be okay. I have put in several requests to have my heater fixed in the winter and my ac fixed in the summer, but Ive gone days without either because the maintenance guy clearly does not know what hes doing. They are always coming up with reasons to raise your rent or add extra expenses. The manager is totally inept at her job - cant keep track of paperwork, lease information, work orders, and is very rude when dealing with people. The neighbors in this apartment community are hardly any better - dogs running at large, owners not cleaning up pet waste, flicking cigarette butts all over my porch, kids vandalizing property, visitors taking up parking spaces constantly.Save yourself a huge headache and DO NOT MOVE HERE!!! more ... hide ...
