The Retreat at Pineview

I would not wish living here on my worst enemy. It was an amazing place to live before a large company took over and the management change. They have left me without AC for an entire month when it has been over 100 degrees and over 90 degrees in my apartment. I contact them multiple times a day and have only been able to reach them once during this entire month process. After the hurricane the apartment next to mine is moldy and flooded and management has yet to contact the individuals residing… there who had to relocate because of the conditions. Don’t make the mistake of living here under this management team. Read More

I did an application with this property and within less than 24 hours I was rejected with no explanation or an inquiry of information that was presented on the application. I feel that this property has that right to do that but it would help the applicant understand why they are being rejected so that they have the opportunity to address the concerns. They will never have to worry about me referring someone or trying to stay out there ever again!!

I've had termites twice now which I don't understand since they supposedly spray once a month for bugs. Also things are constantly breaking around here, garbage disposal, dish washer, AC, and the gate. It's supposed to be a gated community but with the gate breaking pretty often they leave it open for anyone to come in. Lastly my car has been broken into multiple times. Property is OK but there aren't really a lot of good apartments in this town. It would probably be better to just rent a house… but I don't want to move again so I'm stuck here. Read More

To start with, Valdosta is just a bad town. So any apartment can only be so good. That being said, this one is one of the better ones. The staff are very good about fixing things quickly and are pretty helpful. Be warned however, the walls are incredibly thin - if you have rowdy neighbors, either upstairs or next door, you will hear EVERYTHING. The quiet hours are in effect from a certain time in the evening to a certain time in the morning. However, if you contact the staff to handle the noise… issue they tell you to contact 911. You should not have to contact 911 because your neighbors are playing loud music. That is absolutely ridiculous. There should be a security guard on staff to handle that. The apartment also attracts lots of military personal, which is good. Military people are usually decent people. But when they all move out for deployments, the complex fills up with college students and people who aren’t exactly great neighbors. Poor parking, trash all over the place, barking dogs, fighting and general noise violations. I have had to call the police on neighbors because it sounded like there was physical abuse going on on several occasions with multiple neighbors. Definitely not where you want to raise a family, but it’s okay for a single person. Also, it’s a gated community but the gates break almost every week it seems, and it can and does take them up to three weeks or so to get it fixed. So basically you’re not actually in a gated complex. But overall not the worst place you could live. Read More
