Advenir at The Watson

Terrible and rude management, if I could give zero stars I would. They will try and milk you for every last penny they can get. If you don’t want hidden fees when you move out after being a tremendous tenant for 13th months, do NOT sign a lease with The Watson. Or any Advenir property for that matter. STAY AWAY

Moved in about a month ago, the property and units are nice, but the property as a whole has not been well run. On the day of my move-in the front desk didn't have any keys for my apartment which meant waiting for about 4 hours while they had someone get the right keys. They also hadn't properly prepared the apartment as there about 10 spiders throughout the apartment on the ceilings and a number of outlets that didn't function.

The property was recently bought by a new management company, but... so far things have been worse under the new company, the past weekend there were no dog bags for about 3 days which has led to more dog poop being left around the property which hasn't been cleaned. It also appears there hasn't been any yard work done since the new ownership took over. The new ownership seems like they were unprepared to manage a property; there has been limited staff available and the staff that is present don't seem equipped to manage the property effectively. I was able to talk to a member of the staff who confirmed they were still putting on a community event later that week, but when that day came around nothing had been done for the event and a different staff member claimed she didn't know anything about it. There has so far been no communication from the new ownership apart from them saying that they didn't have a website ready to process rent payments and that everyone would have to pay their rent by check or money order.

I do enjoy the design of the units and the overall property, but the management has been the worst I've ever experienced so far. As it is currently managed, I can't say the experience here is worth the price they charge. Hopefully the new ownership will improve from their poor start, but so far it seems like their attitude towards the tenants is that we already signed our leases and agreed to pay rent so they don't really care about keeping the property running well.
