Lighthouse Apartments

It's not a bad place to live, but it’s definitely not the fancy apartment complex it’s advertised to be online. I’m a sucker since the pictures are pretty misleading. Use current pictures of the outside, of parking, of the windows that need cleaning. Shiny countertops, new appliances and a rug won’t fix the infrastructure that badly needs renovating/fixing, especially at an EXTREMELY high cost for rent. Why is this place so expensive when the other places around this area aren’t as much?

So.… I’ve had more bug bites inside my unit than any other place- and no, these aren’t bed bugs or fleas. I’m super clean, too, don’t have any pets or plants, and have been laying out traps, spraying and praying that the bugs leave me in peace. I’ve seen tons of spiders and other types of unknown insects buzzing/crawling around here usually coming from the badly caulked windowsills, doorframes and the dirty cupboards…and some windows don't have screens.

And the constant water shut offs are a major issue for a lot of us tenants. If I would have known there would be weekly 7-8 hour Fridays with no backups or alternatives, or “sorry you can’t take a shower or flush the toilet” every Friday, I would have thought twice about this place. A the very least offer a discounted rent for the inconvenience of extensive and constant shut offs. Be honest and state it on their site that there are water shut offs.

Is there security who patrol parking, noise? It says so, but I haven’t seen anyone yet. Plus, the same cars stay permanently parked in the open street parking so everyone is fighting for that one spot that opens. Want visitors? Forget it. Also, kids roam around her like they own the place, taking over the pool, too.

No matter how hard this place tries, it won’t be a luxury apartment complex. Again, it's not bad, but...Be honest and lower the rent to what the people living here experience. Read More

Are you looking for safe, reliable place to live with attentive property managers and regularly working utilities? Well, this is not the place for you!!! This property features:

• Semi-regular gun violence! Do you love excitement? Well this is the place for you. Twice in the last year the property has had damage from bullets due to gunfire from SW Kenyon Street. One of the shootings actually resulted in bullets coming through the back window of one of the apartments on the first floor in… the middle of the night!

• Regular water leaks! Hope you don’t like regular showers, doing your laundry, or even drinking water. Someone, somewhere on the complex is always experiencing a water leak, and because of the way the complex was built, it means the water is shut off for most of the community for hours at a time! Several times over the past year, it was days at a time!

• Complete inability to get anyone from the property management office to respond to repeated calls or visits! Continual turnover at the property management office means that simple questions go unanswered and serious issues get ignored until you give up on asking about them! And what about going to Thrive Corporate to get your concerns addressed? Good luck! You may as well send smoke signals into the atmosphere—that has a better chance of getting a response than the ‘Comment’ section of their corporate website!

If these things don’t make you want to drop everything and pay their above-market rent, don’t worry—they just put in new countertops in the kitchens of some of the units, so it’s all good.

You can do better. Live anywhere else. Read More

This has been the worst living experience. Water shut off every other week, people constantly in your home remodeling something, absolutely no peace.

If you like having garbage pile up, cars parking wherever and blocking roads, astronomical rent increases, constant water shutoffs, high utility bills, security that doesn't even patrol, property managers that never check the property, having to shovel snow and salt your own lots, and allowing contractors to come into your home for multiple days to remodel your home, while asking you to move all your stuff and offering no compensation for the inconvenience, or the noise, or the mess, then this… place is for you!

If you're looking for a quiet spot where you don't have to worry about being priced out in a year, and where the property management actually cares about your concerns and privacy, look somewhere else. Read More
