Oh good Lord, where do I even begin here? Ill start by titling my review:\"The Stinky Cesspool of Misery known as Talmar Woods\"Now that should tell you everything you need to know about this awful place in a nutshell. But if you want further horrific details about this nightmarish Hell-hole, then by all means, go ahead and read my long but honest review.The absolute WORST place Ive ever lived in my whole life. Bad beyond bad. Ugh! Talmar is nothing more than a dumpy gutter filled with low class drunks and druggies. Lousy, loud, belligerent neighbors, who get away with dealing drugs, and sneaking people in to stay with them for free, under wraps, without the office even knowing about it! If you have a problem in your apartment, the careless maintenance wont even fix the situation properly. Everything is rushed and thrown together cheaply, and called good. (When its obviously not.) The DISGUSTING mold problem is terrible. My sister has asthma, so breathing problems for her, and the rest of the family arose from it. The mold was never taken care of properly. And it kept coming back. Every time we notified the maintenance about the mold, they blamed US for causing it! How rude and inconsiderate can you be? Yet, just about all the people I knew here had mold in their units too. So it wasnt \"just us\" as the staff would want you to believe. On top of all that, we had problems with the plumbing, wiring, and countless other stupid things.And there lies the next fault. The majority of the tenants who reside here are VERY nosy! You get looked at like a walking newspaper. Especially when you first move in. And these are the bunch that you want to avoid: Gossipers, druggies, and alcoholics alike. Theyre all out to start pointless BS with you for no good reason. And thats not even HALF of the problems we went through during our residency at this swampy cesspool. I wont even go into the rest, as this review would take days to write! (Yes, Im serious. Its that bad.) The staff at the office are very rude, and only care about money. The place is an unfit dump. Nothing more. Trust me. If you love being kept up all hours of the night by obnoxiously loud drunken neighbors, this is the perfect place for you! If you want to have false rumors and lies spread around the project about you, alrighty! Talmar is where its at! If you like living next to criminals and drug dealers, who lie about their income and get away with it, well good! Youve found the right place. Or if you enjoy being blamed for unfit living conditions in the unit that you didnt cause, then by all means, this is the place for you! However, if you want to enjoy even a hint of peace and quiet, or are just looking for a decent place to stay. Dont even consider Talmar as an option. DONT do it! This place STINKS. (Both literally and figuratively. It really does smell rancid, just take a walk around some of the trashier units themselves to see what I mean. It still makes me feel sick just remembering it.)In short, Talmar wrecked my life. I am both ashamed and disgusted to say that I once called this place a home. I will go on record saying that choosing to live here was the worst mistake of my life. I will take that statement with me to my grave. But on the contrary, the best choice of my life was getting the heck OUT of Talmar. For good. Im proud to say that Im feeling free as a bird now that Im out of that living nightmare. And boy, does it ever feel great! Talmar is the kind of place that even if you were to pay me thousands of dollars, I would STILL never ever occupy again. Heck, I wont ever step foot on the street leading to this dump, let alone even LOOK at the old rotting sign (which the maintenance refuses to replace) when driving by it!PLEASE keep in mind what I wrote if youre contemplating about moving here. Its definitely not worth it. Not. Even. A. Little. Save your time and money on a better place. Avoid this slummy rathole at all costs. If there is a Hell on Earth, then look no further than Talmar Woods. It SUCKS!I rest my case.
