Worst Apartment Experience Ever – A Cautionary Tale
Worst Apartment Experience Ever – A Cautionary Tale
I recently moved out of Thrive Almeda, and this was by far the worst apartment experience I’ve ever had. If you’re considering moving here, please take note:
Security & Safety
• Car Break-ins & Towing: My girlfriend’s window was smashed, and my car was broken into. The gate was broken ~70% of the time, so anyone could enter. Security is non-existent. They tow unregistered cars immediately—costing $500 to retrieve. If you move here, pay the... $150/month for a garage. Never leave valuables in your car.
Office Complaints
• Awful Communication: Friendly staff, but they don’t answer calls and will ignore ringing phones while you stand there. Management changes constantly—don’t expect consistency.
Pest Control
• Ants Everywhere: Constant ant problems. Pest control came often but didn’t fix it. They half-do the job unless watched (caught on my camera). Ants were in my couch.
Appliances
• Dryer Problems: Dryer never worked properly, even after being replaced. Took 5 cycles to dry towels.
Water Issues
• Low Water Pressure: On the 3rd floor, pressure was low—especially in the mornings.
Noise Issues
• Loud Neighbors: Repeated noise complaints got zero response from the office. Not a quiet place.
Unsafe Environment
• Pool Area Chaos: Pool often turned into a block party—loud music, fights, and even gunshots. Not family-friendly.
Overpriced
• Not Worth the Rent: The neighborhood is rough, yet rent is high. I found a much better place for the same price elsewhere.
Maintenance Issues
• Unqualified Workers: Repairs were sloppy. I had to call them back multiple times to fix the same problem.
Dumpster Issues
• Overflowing Trash: Dumpsters were constantly full. Trash piled up on the ground.
Garage Issues
• Cheap & Inconvenient: You have to carry a clicker—no key access. Garages are poorly built.
Conclusion
Would I move back? No. Would I recommend it? Absolutely not. If you’re staying long-term, look elsewhere. If you’re still considering it, re-read this review before signing anything.
