Peanut Factory

I’ve submitted 4 work order for the a c and it’s still 78 degrees in the unit. About 2 weeks ago it was 88 degrees inside and it was 100 degrees outside. Not just this time around but the past three summers it has been hot in this unit. It’s ridiculous!! I don’t hear any urgency in the leasing office. I call but goes to an automated system. They also close at 5pm not 6 like the sign reads. Don’t move in here!!!

ALERT: Plz think twice before moving here, horrible management, poor service, the property looks dirty, and they don’t care about there tenants.

I have lived here a year and I love it. Works orders have been resolved same day or next. The pool was down for a bit but so was all the communities around the area. Understandable. due to covid effects on every business. This is a great place and so close to school.

Hey, do you like green pools, A/C that breaks and doesn’t get fixed for a month during the hottest summer on record, trash everywhere, ants, an apathetic and often confrontational staff, no emergency maintenance systems, a constant exposure to methheads, burglars, and incoherent homeless dudes with no plan to invest in security measures? Then you’ll love The Peanut Factory Lofts. They have all those things to offer and more. Like a workout room where all the equipment is broken and unusable,... paper thin walls so you can hear every small thing your neighbor does, and non-working washers and dryers. Did we mention all the cracks in the floors and decaying foundation? Lee mas

Note - As of 2017 Peanut Factory Lofts has sold to Windmill Investments and is no longer managed by Greystar. A new company (BH Management) has taken over and they are absolutely horrible. Staff is cold and unhelpful. I never heard any complaints about Troy and his team from Greystar. You can tell the new staff is just concerned with filling up all the empty units and not taking care of tenants. Windmill Investments, the company that hired out BH Management says this: "As a private real estate... firm we specialize in under-performing, bank-owned and distressed single and multi-family opportunities in the growth region of the U.S." - Pretty much sums up why a company like BH Management is now running this place. Bottom of the barrel, just here to get an under-performing property leased out so it can get sold again...

This place was built on a budget and it shows at every turn. The hvac units chosen for all historical units are so small (and all historic units have no insulation due to brick or concrete interior/exterior shared walls) that they run 24/7 in summer and never keep up or hit the set temperature. Most days in summer the lofts barely stay below 78. Our a/c bill is around 300 a month in summer for less than 800 sq ft. Greystar had been compensating many of us on our rent because of this. This winter our heat wouldn't even keep up. $250 a month in energy in winter!!! To be fair the new construction "flats" and townhomes could be just fine since they were built using insulated walls etc.

After moving in we realized why there are so many cops in this area. Our car was broken into a few months back, the area behind the complex is frequented by drug dealers, etc. To make matters worse, the front gate breaks constantly and is partially open. It will get fixed for a while, then break again. Parking is always at capacity, sometimes on weekends we have had to park outside the back gate.

You pay a monthly fee for pest control but there is never anyone spraying. The workout room is NEVER cleaned, they even took the water machine out when management switched. One treadmill of two has been broken for forever and will only let you walk on it, not run.

It's relatively clean here. You don't see garbage piling up anywhere or anything. There is valet trash service (mandatory $25 bucks) plus a $7 a month "trash" fee (?!). The pool is clean in season, or at least Greystar kept it that way. It's decently quiet, we hear our neighbors a lot but it's not unbearable. Lee mas
