Clinton Gardens Apartments

These outdated simple apartments have some good facilities, however, they have several serious downfalls.
First and foremost are notices. Most apartment complexes give you at the very least a week's notice before paving, lawn care, or other normal maintenance care. However, at Clinton Garden Apartments, they will give you notice of such things in less than 24 hours prior to such activities. This maybe doesn't seem so cumbersome until a notice is given the night before that at 7 am cars will be... towed at the owner's expense if they're not moved from the specified area. The expenses.
It's like a college dorm. You have to pay to do laundry. You're already paying rent and utilities. They mask the cost of living by adding all these additional fees.
There are shrubs around the walkways which looks great when their groomed. Sometimes getting into the apartment is like being swallowed by a radioactive beast plant because they are far behind in maintenance (more than 12 months behind). An though it's nice to be set back in the greenery, due to the holes in the walls and cracks in doors and windows, many creepy crawler unwelcome guests join you for breakfast, lunch and dinner regardless of how clean your apartment is.
Office staff-- I'd like to meet an office staff that is willing to HELP me with my problems rather than accuse me of OTHER things that I'm sincerely not guilty of while I'm trying to take care of another issue. I understand the office knows a lot of their tenants (it is nice to be known), but they think they recognize everyone. That is not the case and mistaken identity is frustrating when it leads to notices, fees, or reprimands.
Furthermore, when I called to get an example of the lease before applying (with the $40 fee), I was told that I would first have to apply for an apartment. Understanding what the apartment complex expects of its tenants and what tenants should expect from their landlords should be something discussed prior to applying.
Additionally, their have been several issues involving police.
Lastly, while it's nice to have a pool, the pool is left UNCOVERED and FULL all year round. I'm not sure that's sanitary or chemically safe. Going from that shade green to bright vibrant blue requires an excessive amount of chemicals. Not to mention the birds that mistake a pond and leave their feces behind. Read More

It's a great price and located close to William and Mary. The neighbors are friendly, though the neighborhood itself is a little older and could use some love. Additionally, the walls in the apartments are thin. However, the place is a great starter with lots of charm.
