Summerwell Peoria Place Homes

We have lived here for 3 months and here’s our overview:

Pros: detached homes and attached garages, sidewalks to walk the entire complex, attached mini yards for pets.

Cons: the homes are very overpriced with very cheap interior (cabinets, counters, blinds etc.) which is not ideal given it’s a rental and should last a long time, valet trash is not ideal (there’s service days with rules like a regular neighborhood but the cans provided are small 12 gal cans). There’s a smart home bundle and... it’s an added monthly charge and comes with internet. Wirestar (internet provider) is the worst internet I’ve ever experienced but management ‘can’t do anything about it’. The street lights are constantly flickering and shut off at randoms times all night. Neighbors kind of seem like they don’t care about anything and are very loud and rowdy (which has been noticed all over the complex). There’s no security which means people race through the complex all day and night, and stay at the pool until 12am whenever they want to. It also creates more of a risk for theft especially during fall and winter. Also, there’s no yard coverings so when it’s 115° outside (6 mo out of the year) there’s no covering for your pet to go outside and pee.

Management doesn’t really seem to care once you’ve already moved in and live here. I rarely get responses to emails and like others I work and can’t be in the office every time I need help with something. Only 1 person in the office is helpful but obviously she’s not there every day.

Overall it may just be better to rent a home for a cheaper price with a few less headaches. Lee mas
