MAA Pavilion Place

The biggest issue with this community is the trash, and prospective residents deserve to know about it BEFORE signing a lease. Residents regularly leave bags of trash sitting outside their doors throughout the entire day. Management appears to be aware that this continues to happen, but so far there does not seem to be any meaningful effort to stop it. With trash constantly sitting in the hallways, I’m genuinely concerned about what kind of pest problem this could create as the weather gets… colder. The wood flooring directly in front of some doors is visibly stained from what appears to be trash bags being left there repeatedly over time. When garbage is being left outside often enough to literally stain the flooring, that should tell you something about how normalized this has become. I also recently spoke with a resident who told me she has lived here for more than 10 years and that the trash has always been a problem during her time here. Obviously, I cannot personally speak to what the property was like 10 years ago, but hearing that from a long-term resident does not exactly inspire confidence. So respectfully, I really do not want to hear that management is still “working on a solution” to the trash problem if this has potentially been going on for years. What makes this even more frustrating is that the trash problem was not mentioned to me until AFTER I had already signed my lease. So I’m leaving this review to make sure future residents have that information upfront before they make the same decision. There is also only one trash compactor for the community. If you live toward the back of the property, have fun either carrying your trash across the community or putting dirty garbage in your car to drive it over. Once you get there, you may be welcomed by a massive pile of trash surrounding the compactor from residents and what appears to be additional dumping. If you think I’m exaggerating, do yourself a favor before signing a lease: come take a drive through the community on a Sunday and see it for yourself. The property may have fresh paint and look nice during a tour, but don’t let the new paint fool you. At this point, the community seems to have developed a symbiotic relationship with trash, and the follow-through on other issues has not exactly inspired confidence either. Read More
