Pike Run Village Apartments

Pike Run Village is one of the worst places I have ever lived. At the time, it seemed perfect - solid price for two bedrooms in a unit with a balcony. Immediately after moving in, the issues started: it was not clean, there was hair everywhere, appliances not maintained, it smelled overwhelmingly like mothballs that took weeks to clear out, the BUGS, and the worst part of all was that we could hear the downstairs neighbors. Yes...from upstairs I could hear them walking, yelling, screaming,... crying, and slamming doors usually between 11 pm - 2 am almost every night. Numerous complaints were logged and Management sent letters to tenants but nothing helped and it was truly awful the entire lease. When they finally moved out and I had peace for maybe 1 month until the next people moved in. Also!!! I would suggest buying a dashcam for your car because the parents do not seem to be concerned about their kids' safety at all. The amount of footage I have of children just RUNNING into the street or flying around corners on bikes as if cars do not exist. They play in the middle of parking lots, hitting cars with balls...it’s unbelievable. I could not be happier that I moved out. Save yourself the misery and emotional trauma this place will cause. The price has gone up per unit as well and it is far too overpriced for what you are getting. Read More

I would not recommend moving here. There are large numbers of families with many rowdy children living in the apartments, and over occupancy of rooms with excessive people in them. I have experienced daily banging, jumping, drums, and loud noises. Management does not help or seem to care. This is combined with excessive rent and a sewer bill of several hundred per month. Be warned.

The grounds are nicely maintained but some tenants throw trash like their mail and candy wrappers. The unit (I have) is small for a one bedroom. There is not enough closet space and only 3 windows in the entire unit. The toilet is usually backed up and the sink has issues. They have repaired it over 5 times but cannot seem to fix it completely. Cats are allowed for a monthly fee BUT I've seen plenty of dogs.

Now comes the main issue. The apartments at Pike Run are set up that the 2... bedrooms are upstairs and the one bedroom is on the first floor. Therefore, the couples/single parents are UPSTAIRS while the single folks are downstairs. The parents do not discipline their children. Not only do some of them let their kids run and jump in the unit KNOWING that there is someone living downstairs. It is inconsiderate and disrespectful especially at 12:40AM!

In addition, kids play outside near the cars risking vandalism as they throw balls. Some children ran in front of my car while I was driving for fun by the new CVS when many kids were playing WITHOUT adult supervision. Some Pike Run parents are not up for the job of parenting.

The first floor unit can hear almost everything from the second floor unit. It feels like you and your neighbor are living together. The architects who designed these units did so to maximize space for PROFIT. But children are living in units with two sets of many stairs and single folks are dealing with their constant noise. It is that BAD.

The management office sends letters and the tenants ignore them. Living here with constant noise is not worth it. Forget about talking to your neighbor, they will likely admit they don't know how to discipline their kid. Your neighbor's unruly kid is now YOUR problem. Welcome to Pike Run and run while you still can. Read More
