Four Bridges

For starters, I lived here for over 4 years but recently moved out of state for a new job. I never had serious problems with my unit but when I did need maintenance they were always responsive. The units are nice and I would say a bit above average than comparable units of this age (10 ). The kitchens were recently upgraded to granite/stainless appliances and are very nice; a welcome upgrade. My sliding door shower, on the other hand, was impossible to keep clean. Thumbs-down! The noise… insulation is great - never heard my neighbors. The community is pet-friendly and a lot of residents had pets. The leasing personnel were generally friendly, some more-so than others.

Would I rent again? No. For the rent Four Bridges was charging me, I could have gone 1 minute down the street (Palmera) to brand new apartments (now you know why they upgraded the kitchens). And Four Bridges was not immune to rent increases (happened 3 times to me). This even happened AFTER the new apartments were built down the street. Weird. From a value proposition, the rent seemed a bit high. This area is not a prime city location, it's country suburb.

If Four Bridges is more in your budget, go for it. It's a good place. But here's my caveat; they will not work with you if you need to break your lease for whatever reason. Towne Properties is a big corporation and could care less about your life changes. You signed a lease, you will pay it in full. The new place I moved into at my new location (newer, nicer) allowed me to sign a lease-break clause at lease signing. Keep that in mind. You can try to ask for a similar clause but I was told they never do that. Lame. So if you can't afford to shell out double rent and plan on being mobile, don't rent here. Read More
