Anson at the Lakes

Roach infested! Nobody warned me that it is completely infested. Baby roaches in my closet, hiding in all my clothes. Roaches crawling up my walls, in my kitchen and bathroom. I’ve found them everywhere!! Pest control said there’s a breeding ground right outside my door. This is my absolute nightmare. They won’t let me out of my lease and have left numbers for me to call back and I did and it’s a nursing home facility. I don’t feel safe in my own home.

After moving in and seeing a roach, the office was contacted immediately. They are not worried about said roaches at all and expect the roaches to be the new unwelcomed roommate. Please save your money and live somewhere else!

Do not rent here!! The gates never work, there are homeless people living in the stairwells. Maintenance requests go unacknowledged for weeks. The leasing office never answers calls. The gym is only open when the leasing office is open, so if you have a 9-5 job you’re paying for a gym you can’t use. DO NOT RENT HERE

Cons:

- Dog park trash / floods when it rain. No grass in the park AT ALL.
- Rarely any dog bags throughout the property
- Both gates are always broke
- Kids and parents take over the entrance and exit during school year
- Maintenance parks in front of leasing office taking up residents/visitor spots.
- Maintenance request takes at least a month to be completed IF they actually do the request
- Maintenance staff change like the seasons
- Ground workers pick and choose which trash they... pickup . Pickups a cup but leave the straw, drive by a bunch of trash for days before picking it up, etc
- No cameras around the property
- Security good for nothing
- Cars get broken into
- Fetch (forced package system) a scam
- Deers randomly scroll through
- Apt building confusing . No apt numbers on any buildings. Playing roulette guessing the correct apt building
- Stray cats all around
- You may see a lost dog once a month
- No lights on bridge over the pond. Pitch black at night walking
- Leasing staff are like salesmen. Once you move in, they’re good for nothing. They show no sympathy or empathy.
- Stairs and ground disgusting. Power washing may happen once every 2 years
- You’ll see a sheriff 3 times a month serving an apt an eviction notice (Evictions filed on the 12th of every month)
- Never plan to go hangout at the pool. It may or may not be open . Open randomly throughout the day if it’s open.

Pros:

- Close to Walmart and Target
- 2 malls close by (Southpark and Carolina Place Mall)
- Great hot water
- A lot of food options near by
- Light rail 5 minutes drive
- Close to 495 and 77
- Speaker in kitchen lights
- Trash comes early in the morning most days
- Kids on the property play together all year round

I have lived in this community for 5 years and ever since the complex was sold it has gone completely down hill. The gates work maybe one percent of the time! The breezeways are filthy and the staff is extremely unprofessional! Maintenance requests go completely unanswered or the service is crappy!
