Lansdowne Grove Apartamentos

This place is a dump. I only moved there because I got divorced and needed a place fast. I delt with roaches for 2 years they never got rid of them. I purchased traps myself. Sewer lines are junk. This place is so ran down. Save yourself headache and pass it up. Gross!!!

I lived here from aug 2023- June 2024. At first I loved it. It was small but I appreciated not having carpet in any room but the bedroom, and it was quiet. Then my neighbors moved in above me and I quite literally heard everything single thing they did. Footsteps, their tv, even them talking. The floors are incredible thin and I got used to just sleeping with my headphones on.
In the middle of my lease they switched owners/ companies and we needed to start paying our rent in cash or a paper... order which I wasn’t a fan of. Once they switched I never heard from my landlord again and had no access to any apps associated with my apt.
Also not to mention I had found roaches on more than one occasion and I consider myself a tidy and clean person. Overall; live here for the price. It did have nice amenities but the sound of hearing my neighbors do everything drove me absolutely nuts. Lee mas

1,I see many have posted about "pests" being in the apartments. One review even stated "infested" which I can honestly say, not true. In the basement area, in a completely separate part of the building you have to go outside and walk around the building to get to. It is a nonresidential area...I did see one roach in the laundry area. in the month I have lived here. I immediately reported it and days later, the exterminator was on site caring for the space. FYI...the exterminator comes on... property monthly. No issues with pests becoming roomies.

2, I have recently moved in with my daughter. Of course, there were bits of things needed upon move in, like changing cabinet handles, cleaning fridge coils (or something like that) to make it colder, repairing a small tear on the floor. I can say, I have been met with nothing but professionalism and focus in taking care of this.

3. The maintenance guy even helped my daughter at one time to move something heavy in the apartment. The parking is never a problem.

4, The dog area has been well cared for and offers bags and garbage in the area.

5, The laundry conveniently takes cards, not coins.

6, Finally, the pool area was clean and rarely "busy" with patrons. But there are parents and kids in the community but no issues with nonsense and noise.

7, Will update if things change..... Lee mas

We haven't had hot water for months before, the management is practically non existant, the complex got bought out by a new company w zero heads up and now they are telling us we have to clean everything out of our kitchen and bath, take our 2 cats and get out of our apartment for 2 to 4 hours in the middle of a work day because of a roach problem that we do not have in our apartment. So that means me or my wife are going to have to show up to our job late and hope the cats don't get into any... poison after we leave. This complex is nothing but problems and "management" doesn't care. Our building smells like weed 247, they can't keep the hot water working for long and now this owner switch and being put out of our apartment for2 to 4 hours possibly for an unknown amount of times because they said they may have to do it again with zero compensation. Stay away from this place them will lock you in with a lease that is very hard to break and very expensive. Lee mas

I am currently updating this review to give every and any potential tenant an honest account of someone who has been a model tenant in regards to always being prompt with payment etc.

The reason I have stayed as long as I have is for convenience of work commute and affordability.

However, I believe every renter has the right to know the complete truth before making a decision to rent living space with any property mgt.

As such-

The pool was shut down over a 1/3 of the summer months last... year for a variety of reasons. This year it has already been shut down for almost 2 weeks. Very disappointing for an amenity that can hardly ever be enjoyed.

The property grounds is lack luster to say the least.
One of the dumpsters is constantly overflowing with trash everywhere around the area.
Much of the grass and area near buildings has eroded and is just clumps of dirt.

There is constant trash and litter all over the grounds.
The doggy poop stations are typically overflowing.
Cigarette butts everywhere, pizza boxes, dirty diapers etc…

NO HOT WATER for 4 months!!!!

During the dead of winter this year, multiple units were without hot water of any kind for app 4 months.
There was an issue with the water heaters, water lines etc.
The only compensation was: tenants were offered to walk in the freezing cold to a vacant apartment in the complex to take a warm shower or bath. This had to be coordinated, and mind you, this was a communal shower/tub as multiple people were using it.
Communication and updates were scarce and typically had to be promoted or initiated.

In the interim and end, there was absolutely 0 compensation of any kind!!!.
Even when I attempted to contact the regional manager, my efforts were ignored completely!

Finally, the property manager on site said that corporate had ruled that there would be no compensation to the tenants affected!

I cannot begin to iterate how horrific this experience was!
Even as of a week ago, I came home from work to….you guessed it, NO HOT WATER again!
And again, no communication or advance notice from the property management.

Pool closed again! 2nd time this summer so far!! This time due to some act of vandalism or mistreatment of the pool area!

I have come home to a smell of a severe gas line leak. So severe, it instantly made me nauseated and lightheaded!
When addressed, the maintenance personnel said there was “work done on lines today,” but no initiative from management to forewarn tenants or apologize. Lee mas
