MAA Patterson

I have lived here for 2 years. Turn over rate is at a high (management and residents). I will say do not try to go for the cheapest apartment, there will be obvious reasons over time. They don’t really care about you as a resident, they are just looking for more ways to get money and be sure to you read your lease thoroughly. The price you see here is JUST the base rent. There will be other fees included, they don’t tell you initially, which will make your rent higher. I wouldn’t understand why… it’s not included in the base rent. What are you really paying for??
Do not get the terrace floor. Trust me. This place has the potential to be great, it was great for some time, the area the complex is in is quiet. A lot of surrounding malls.

If you plan to transfer from one apartment here to another apartment in this community you will be starting your process all over including the transfer fee, pet deposit, pet fee, and higher rent. Read More

I really wanted to like this place. It looked so nice when I went for a tour, little did I know I was signing a lease on a nightmare. I've had live cockroaches in my apartment every month that I've lived here (been here over a year). Despite writing up work orders to have pest control come and fix things, the roaches keep on coming. I asked them if they could fix the bug situation or just let me break my lease, and instead they send me a contact to sign a brand new lease 12 months with them plus… a $600 "transfer fee". Why would I give them more money and extend my lease with them when they've already proven they're incapable of managing things?

Truly disappointed at poor management, you can tell they're sloppy with details. My apartment has hot and cold water installed backwards, light switches installed upside down, and walls where if you try and wipe them paint gets on your towels. Read More

The staff is friendly and this place has all the amenities on paper. But the management company is charging SIXTY PERCENT MORE than our current rate for our renewal rate after the staff told us we'd be able to keep the same rate and we made plans around that. We obviously can't afford that or we'd be living in a nicer building that costs that much in the first place.
The pool is usually dirty with bugs and leaves though it's been maintained slightly better over the summer, it's still not great.…
When we first moved in, they didn't fix anything until we submitted a maintenance request for it. Most times we submit a request we have to submit at least two or even three times for them to actually send the maintenance guy (which I think would be solved if they'd set up an electronic system, it seems like just no one passes the requests on). So like, things that were broken when the last people moved out (for example a faucet and our air conditioner), they just left to see if it would bother us before fixing it?? The ceilings and some of the walls are textured, and when they painted over holes and marks from the previous tenant they painted them flat, so there's big marks on the walls that are not textured and it's super obvious.
If for some reason you have no other option but to live here, do NOT live on the ground floor. The landscapers blow around the hedges and it has made our patio completely unusable. I've never been able to sit outside on our patio; we might as well not even have it. It's covered with dust, pollen, dirt, leaves, branches, etc. and of course this is an apartment so it's not like I have access to a hose to hose it down. The ceilings are paper thin and having someone live above us is torture (which is not the fault of the tenants, they're just living a very quiet and normal life).
The apartment across the sidewalk from us has very obvious and deep flooding that goes under the floor of it - I can't imagine the floor of that apartment is safe to be living on or that there's any way it's mold free, yet we watched people move out and them rent it to new tenants without doing a thing about it. It still floods in a very concerning way every time it rains hard.
The staff are trying to make it a friendly community - they just added a dog park and an electronic package notification system and they are very friendly, but the issues with the units and the obscene upcharge on rent really ruined the experience for us and we can't wait to get out. Read More

Have been living at the complex for 6 months and love it.
