Brandywine Crossing Apartments

On the day that I moved in I found a bunch of mold behind the sink and other problems with the apartment. After the disappointment and getting all of it fixed everything was fine until the crickets made their way into the bedroom window ( I lived on the ground floor so beware). Beside all the bugs and the loud neighbors the apartment is nice enough. It’s one of the best in Peoria that’s somewhat affordable.

I had lived here previously and it's not worth it. Neighbors are loud at night and there are drugs being sold within the complex. Don't waste your money living here.

I was extremely upset when I first moved in. There were several issues that could have been handled if someone had just done a quick walk-through of the unit before I moved in. Immediately when you waked in it you were hit with the smell of cigarettes and cat. There is so much cat hair in the carpet that I am STILL vacuuming it up after 5 months of living here. When you open the cabinets, the cigarette smell is still very prominent. Within my first week at Brandywine, I had to put in two… maintenance requests. Both my shower and hot water didn’t work. I will say that they are VERY quick to take care of maintenance issues, they’ll have someone there the next day regardless of priority so I will give them that. But the drawers in the bathroom broke shortly after they fixed the other stuff and and I ended up just fixing them myself. The further into the complex you go the more it looks like the balconies are going to fall off the building, my building included which makes me very nervous to be out there. The boards are all warped and nails are sticking up on my balcony. The dishwasher is so bad that it doesn’t even splash water across all the dishes, I’ve just been hand washing at this point. I’ve seen several dishwashers by the dumpster so it does look like they will replace those upon request. Some positives, it is very spacious and safe. There has never been any issues towards safety and lots of families live in these apartments. They have police payroll regularly during the day and throughout the night. I hardly ever hear my neighbors so the walls are thick. I don’t mind living at Brandywine but I probably will move once my lease is up to find a more updated apartment. I imagine Brandywine will be a very nice place in the years to come. I just wish they would take the time and do a walk through before new tenants move in, it’ll decrease the amount of maintenance request they’ll have in the long run. Read More

Seeing all the reviews on this site, I thought I would comment on the places I have lived. I liked this place. Looks like they have invested a lot since I lived there, but I still liked it back in the day. No bugs. Quiet. Centrally located. Nice neighborhood. A place this good can't function without good staff and I liked the folks there.
