Kings Highlands Apartments

If you like living with bugs then this place is for you. Also the smell could knock you out through the hallways! It’s really dirty here.

My two bedroom apartment has been beautifully renovated. New vinyl flooring, new fridge, stove, dishwashers, painting, new kitchen/bathroom fixtures, new carpeting in bedrooms, ceiling fan. However, the new renovations are marred by the ROACH problem. Pest control has helped, maintenance has been very helpful, but it is going to take them going thru EVERY apartment, EVERY nook and cranny to tackle this problem. Again, I am paying way too much rent to be expected to shake out my clothes/shoes... EVERDAY, shake out my bedding EVERYDAY (yes, in my bed!) for fear I will carry them to work with me. Still not comfortable inviting my friends to my new apartment. Also, they mention indoor/outdoor pools that are closed, not maintenanced. That was an amenity they listed that attracted me. There is a tennis court but in disarray. There may be local tennis clubs that provide a grant to refurbish the court. I'm sure there are residents who swim and would enjoy playing tennis, considering we are paying for it. Kings Highlands is a beautifully landscaped property, reasonable rent, nice neighborhood, but it needs to stand by what they say they offer. And, get rid of the roach problem. Read More

I moved out of Kings Highlands the same day Alpha Management took over. Alpha management had no idea and are now refusing to respond to me. I am owed prorated rent for the reminder of the month that I moved out as well as my security deposit and have been asking for this for OVER TWO MONTHS.

Recent change in management and they have been attentive to questions and concerns. They are renovating units and the units look great! Switching to a renovated one soon!

I've lived here a few years. Here's what I can tell you.

Pros: Clean, decent(both in personality and skill) maintenance people who fix stuff pretty quick. Internet is decent.

Cons: Rent goes up regularly so don't expect to pay the same amount from year to year. The indoor pool and work out facilities have been shut down for over a year and a half so don't expect that to ever open again. Not the best area of columbus to live in (sometimes I think I hear gun shots at night but it's not that... often). The office can go from pleasant to not so pleasant pretty quick.

Overall: It's not the best or worst place I've rented from previously. Vary solid mid of the pack. Read More
