I wasn’t calling them trashy. I was referring to an earlier comment about the location being closer to the trash of the west side than Hilliard. I was just pointing out that the rent was higher in this location than in Hilliard and GC. Based on the rent and pictures, someone would assume from the outside that it would be a good place to live and it just goes to show how important a management company is. I really can’t believe the rent is higher in this complex because typically you pay more to live outside of Columbus, within other school districts and police jurisdictions.
I would not call them trashy, there as nice as you keep them. Maintence at times will duck tape it over, after several calls they replace it or repair it properly. It is the standards of how we live here. The parties, fights and general all around people that are being let in. They don’t pay, leave, trash out the unit. Somewhere we all are absorbing this. Light problems cause for alarm when you walk from your unit to the car. You have a complaint, they dismiss as you are just complaining for nothing. If they listen you will go away. We might but the problem does not, it stays and festers. Can we get out of our contract, NO!!. You can walk out and be fined, that is the end results.
Until they wake up and see what happened this weekend…well it is showing. They will promise the world, but the world does not ever get to us.
I am not familiar with this complex, but from their web site, it seems like a nice place to live. It is too bad that management has not been responsive and let these things happen. By the way, the cost for these apartments cost more than the apartments that this manangement company has in Grove City and Hilliard, so at least at some point it must not have been too trashy.
Well said karynhoff!!! Period. The main Crawford Communities office laid off 26 of the cleaning and maint. staff. Walk the pond and see the cans full, all week it is like this. Did you know needles were found around the pond where someone tried to get rid of them and missed.
If everyone would not fear the feared, stand up, the office would need to listen. Then again we could check and see if we could all put our rent in escrow for our fears and safety they will not take care of.
Were not asking for the impossible Crawford, just a bit of back up. Just concern your head is in the sand. Were here and you go home.
I live in one of the complexes that karynhoff mentioned and I totally and completely agree with her!! The management use to be at every complex and you knew if you had a question or problem you could go to the clubhouse and get an answer. Nowadays you have to wait forever for someone to call you back. With the crime getting worse over in this area, I don’t think I will ever be able to sell my condo. I regret buying there, but at the time it seemed like a safe place and I was told that at some point they were going to make it a gated community. Well you can put a gate up at the front, but that doesn’t stop anyone from walking in from all the other sides of the complex. I’m just so tired of hearing the police chopper flying overhead everynight.
Awe, January must be a westsider!
Awe, JayB must be a westsider!
rninctown, I was referring to the other side of the tracks as an idiom for the wrong side of the tracks and not as in location. I know where it is and it’s still westside regardless of the physical location to the railroad track.
Jayb,
Check again. 2.44 miles to Hilliard. 5.66 miles to Valley View West Side.
That is the truth.These apartments sometimes house 15 Latinos a unit.Isn’t there a limit on how many people can inhabit one unit? I think management is afraid to confront these issues.Homeowners are being frightened into their homes as well.
