Christiana Reserve

They advertise a fitness center. In 5 years it has not been open once. I used to ask them, they always said they were working on it. 5 years should be long enough.

Most units do not have working central air. Drive around, you will see window units.

You have to hound maintenance for anything from basic to emergency service. We frequently have leaks, they slap a coat of paint on it while it's still wet. We had a hole in our ceiling and a bat flew in, office staff said we had to wait a week for… pest control to show up. I am not living with bats for a week. But they think this is acceptable.


They advertise renters insurance discount, they took that away January 2025.

Pool is disgusting, even the lifeguard was repulsed. Weird filmy liquid floating on surface. Every lounge chair has a massive rip down the middle. Office does not care.

50/50 chance office staff will even be there. Repeatedly I have stopped by during office hours but nobody is there. I've met several people there waiting for a scheduled apartment tour that left after staff didn't show up.

They removed one of our closets. No discount in price, we just dont have a closet now.

We get multiple emails throughout the year that no one should be hanging out in the courtyard. What is it for then? What are we paying for?

They reduced trash pickup. Now there is glass and trash everywhere. So much trash that it flies into the parking lot, courtyard. everywhere. Read More

The amount of things that have gone wrong since I have moved into this apartment is unreal. But I'm going to keep it as simple as possible and just tell you about one of the experiences we're dealing with. Upon moving in we discovered that our carpets smelled like cat urine we have broadened management and discussed it with them and they sent somebody in to evaluate the situation they said they're going to have to pull up our carpets padding and seal the floors. Mind you at this point we already… have all of our furniture and everything in the apartment this should have been taken care of before we moved in. On top of this upon investigating further we found cat poop painted over on one of the baseboards, management seems to not care about anything at all. Honestly please do not move in here. Read More

I WOULDNT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE TO ANYONE! The maintenance sucks and when you call the office to tell them (mildew is growing, rain is coming in your bedroom ceiling, the closets are broken, possums are sitting on your floor outside, foxes are sitting in front of your door and popping all on the steps, stains are all on the ceiling, birds are flying into the pipes, squirrels are living in the attic, the trash cans overflow everyday with all types of washer and dryers, trash all on the ground with… very large vultures picking away, bats at night, mold and mildew growing within the walls, they just paint over any mold, leak, etc and think it’s all fixed. It’s trash. You call maintenance or the main office and nobody cares, they just say okay and nobody ever gets sent out. The light was out on my floor which is a safety hazard at night especially living alone as a woman and it took them over a week to finally get it fixed. That’s ridiculous. The girls in the office take everything like a joke and won’t follow up for nothing. DO NOT MOVE HERE, I WOULDNT RECOMMEND TO ANYONE!!!!!! -100/5 stars. The maintenance can be seen walking around the apartment complex sitting around, smoking and acting like they don’t have a pile of maintenance concerns in someone’s apartment. When they do come to your house, they have crazy attitudes and could careless about fixing your apartment issues the right way. Read More

Parking at this complex is a nightmare. We always have to park on the opposing end because there aren’t enough spots and they do nothing to enforce the parking policy here, meaning they don’t make sure people aren’t exceeding the vehicle limit or that people who simply don’t live here aren’t using it as a parking garage, because they do. Our heat went out all winter on and off and they ignored a lot of our requests to fix it. When they did agree to fix it it took weeks. Mind you our rent was… $70 more expensive than we were promised and we were told it’s because heat is included. We pay this increase every month of the year even though the heat is only on for a couple months and it rarely works anyway. We had to use space heaters most of winter which ran up our electric bill and we received no compensation. We were also told we would be on the second floor with a gas fireplace but we they didn’t tell us till the time we moved in that we are on the third floor with a wood-burning fireplace (that we can’t use because all that encloses the fireplace is a screen and we have a toddler at home.) We’ve had black mold in our bathroom since we moved in that keeps coming back and we had to take care of it ourselves because maintenance wouldn’t do anymore then come and take pictures. We have leaky walls and ceilings that are covered in brown spots and they claim to have fixed the roof even though our walls still leak and they won’t do any cosmetic work to make our home look like one that can actually be lived in. The windows let excessive air in even when they are shut because they are outdated and it’s impossible to keep it cool in here even with the ac constantly on full blast. Our AC didn’t work all summer anyway and it took 6 weeks and call to corporate to even get a response to say they would come and look at it, eventually. It smells like weed all the time and the bugs are bad here too. We’re getting out ASAP. Read More
