Grove At Plantation

We have had the same management team for many, many years and have long-term stable ownership that regularly invests and improves the community. Our team works incredibly hard to provide a good living experience for our residents. With all that... said, there are some things that are out of our control.

Pet waste is honestly an issue for most apartment communities. We have a dedicated groundskeeper that does his best to keep the grounds looking great, including picking up after pets. We supply bags and waster bins, so there is not a great excuse for residents not to pick up after their pets but the reality is what the reality is. There are not great solutions to this common problem.

As for car break-ins, these are frustrating to us as well as we know how upsetting it is to experience. While this issue is not overly common at our community compared to the rest of the market, it still happens from time-to-time. Criminals tend to target apartment communities for this crime as there are so many cars and not a lot of foot traffic in the middle of the night. The best thing we can recommend is to report the car break-in to the police to help increase police presence in the area. Read More

We appreciate all feedback from our current and former residents. While we are unable to discuss specific account details in a public forum, we’d like to share general information about our move-out process.

Upon move-out, residents may be charged... for damages beyond normal wear and tear, including any pet-related damage. Monthly pet rent does not apply toward or offset repair costs. Prior to move-in, residents sign a Schedule of Charges that outlines potential fees for cleaning or damages assessed at move-out.

Former residents are not immediately sent to collections. A final statement is provided within 30 days of move-out, and former residents have an additional 30 days to dispute charges. All assessed charges are documented, including photos taken at move-out. If a balance remains unpaid and no communication or payment arrangements are made, accounts may be referred to a third-party collection agency approximately 60–90 days after move-out.

Our team makes every effort to work with residents to resolve balances and answer questions before any further action is taken. It is never our goal to have unhappy residents, and we wish you the best in your next community. Read More

Reviews such as these leave me very conflicted. I always like to take the reviews seriously and respond as such but there are so many flagrant inaccuracies in this review it is difficult.

We are not a big corporation. We are a family owned... business and never charge exuberant fees upon move-out. In fact, when you move-in you sign a Schedule of Charges that outlines what you will be charged for at move-out if you damage any items or don't leave the apartment in the same condition you received it in. We do not charge for normal wear and tear.

We have a great team and our property is truly exceptional. I hope that people will take this review with a grain of salt and stop by the community to judge for themselves. Read More

Thank you for the wonderful review! We strive to provide the best living experience in Lafayette.
