Salem Commons Apartments

This place is a bad place to live. Very noisy people outside at night from one of the buildings (1800 I believe) especially one man that is out there at all hours yelling for people to disobey the rules and that nobody can stop him. People drinking on the hillside on the other side of the parking lost watching the complex. People smoking and tossing their cigarette butts everywhere a fire waiting to happen again. Trash all over. Kids unsupervised. And management pushing out the good... tenants bringing in more bad. And when theres a problem management won't fix it until you move out. They move out people that pay lower rent so they can put someone else in that pays more even though they don't change anything. Do not live here, seek elsewhere Read More

They allow smoking here it states that it is non smoking this is a false advertisement. They do not enforce the rules at all. There is no fitness room as advertised. There is NO on site laundry, you can rent a washer dryer combo from them if you dont have your own but it advertises on site laundry. there is no club house for the kids. kids play ball in the parking lot around cars, throw sticks and rocks around cars, are not monitored by parents or anyone. trash everywhere and cigarette... butts all over. claims to be non smoking but thats a huge lie. rent somewhere else not here.

Whenever visiting my senior mother I saw an overwhelming amount of trash strewn throughout these shabby apartments. i could hear people talking in their apartments as I walked to hers in the hallway. Inside her apartment the noise from upstairs was so loud. The manager is phony and the co-manager is rude, crude and very mean tempered.

The neighbors did not seem to follow the lease rules especially those younger parents with unsupervised or neglected children. There is no place for the older... children to play that doesn't place them or tenants' cars and other property directly in harm's way.

If you have senior parents or older children this is definitely the worst place in Salem for them to live. We moved ours out for all of these reasons and many more. Read More

If you are going by the photos connected to this page, don't! They are ancient and not at all how these worn down, beat up, unkempt apartments look in mid-Oct 2017. There are no "resident managers," no security system or service, no enforcement of very important lease contract rules. Cruddy messes to get trash to a dumpster, like rotting food left in the parking lot and right outside of the dumpsters. Very dangerous for children since there is no place for ones older than 4 or 5 to safely play.... They do so between cars, in the road, hallways and right in front of renters' windows! Loud, banging, yelling and screaming, drunken parking lot gatherings and t-totally missing maintenance and management. Read More

Over the past 2 years Salem Commons has been mismanaged to the degree of wood showing through the missing paint on buildings, green mold on the siding, and filth in the hallways. The amount of noise, parked cars and porch items damaged (even set on fire!) has increased due to zero monitoring or security. Guests who visit are concerned about the amount of unwanted parking lot activity that impedes safely parking, driving and walking.
