Ladera Villa Apartments

I wish I could give this company no stars. They own all the apartment complexes in Alaska. My husband was stationed in Alaska at JBER. He recieved his notice on 2 June that he was supposed to PCS to fort lewis, Wa. He then gave the apartment complex, Ladera Villa in Anchorage, that he would be leaving, but because he did not give 30 days notice, he has to pay for the entire amount of rent for July. His lease is even up July 9th but still must pay the entire July rent. We didn't even have orders... to leave Alaska 30 days out but yet we are apparently supposed to read the Army's mind and give notice before we get told we have to leave. It's awful they're taking advantage of a lot of people and leeching onto military families. Their apartments themselves are gross as well. There was constantly animal feces in the hallways as all the apartments in Alaska are indoors, garbage just thrown out into the stair wells as people are apparently too lazy to walk their dogs or take out the trash in the winter. The management office is ALWAYS closed, and nothing is done to fix any complaints about the feces and garbage. They say they have cameras to watch and if someone does something they can see it but they're all hanging out of the wall and people are getting their laundry stolen constantly out of the laundry room, and of course the cameras "were not working at the time" so basically they don't care about their tenants or buildings. Just about collecting their money. Way to go Weidner properties. You're officially the trashiest places in Anchorage, and that's saying something Read More

These apartments are pretty nice, although they could be more affordable. I live in a studio, which is the same size as some of their one bedrooms for cheaper rent, so without the extra wall, you technically are getting more space with the studio. The room is one of the most spacious studios I've seen, complete with a balcony, new utilities, and gas fireplace. These apartments also allow pets up to 35lbs, and is close to very many parks, which is also a huge perk.
The downside is, sound carries... easily because it is an older building, every movement is heard in the apartments above or below, if you're not careful. Also, if you do you research, you can technically find one bedrooms for cheaper rent that are newer and more spacious. The location is very convenient as it's closer to my work, but I may be on the lookout for a better location once my lease is up. Read More
