Eastgate Woods Apartments

This is the first time I've lived in an apartment since the 1990's and since moving here in May '22 I am pleased with the good job the maintenance staff has done on repair requests I have made. If I only had a garage for my car I would likely live our the rest of my days here........... Is there any chance I could get the carpet pulled out and replaced with hardwood floors? I would gladly cost share on the project! Thanks, Dennis.......5114

I am normally a person to not leave reviews, even if its bad. I can get over the Internet monopoly, despite being a part-time student, and even the noisy crude neighbors as they throw their trash off the balcony so they dont have to carry it down 1 set of four stairs, however, many small things have piled up over the almost 60 days of living here. Pros- Pretty area, gorgeous area, right off of route 32, which you can barely hear the traffic. Pool and clubhouse are immaculate when available, and a lake to fish in? I havent seen a lake, but im sure its on the other end with Lakeshore apartments, which Eastgate woods also owns. Cons- Neighbors are extremely noisy and uncaring for those beneath them. I am on the lowest level, my windows even with the ground outside, i have two neighbors above me, and the one directly above loves to have screaming matches with people on the phone at any hour of the day, and often times out on his balcony. He also loves to throw stuff off his balcony- trash, so he doesnt have to carry it all the way outside, and what i assume is him giving things to people? I've seen what i assume are friends of his picking these things up. Are they taking them, are they helping? I wouldnt know. I work night shift, so im often not at home at night, and trying to sleep during the day. Internet - They've got a monopoly you see? You can only use their contract through dish. No, you cant go to dish directly either. Nor does any reasonable internet provider, you know, provide to this area. You want internet? Pay 75$(starting Jan 1st 2024) for 300mbps. I can get that same deal through Spectrum for 45$ a month. Good luck using your mobile hot spot, like on your phone, as i've been doing, were almost in a dead zone, so the internet goes out as if theres a raging storm outside, even with internet provided by a phone service. Laundry Services- Maybe you'll luck out on this one, i didnt. Im on the opposite end of the building. 4 Doors to each building, 12 tenants to a door. 1 Laundry room with 4 washers and 4 dryers. I've been lucky so far that any time i've gone it hasnt been too busy, however, when its pouring rain outside, i am not walking through it to do my laundry. Thats right, i have to walk outside and to the other end of the building to be able to wash my clothes- however, only a 1.50$ each for a wash and a dry cycle. One of the lower prices i've seen.. Dishwasher/Plumbing - This has been my latest issue. I can not get hot water from my kitchen sink, bathroom sink, nor my dishwasher at any given point. Perhaps im spoiled from a previous apartment layout(each unit had their own water heater), but after running the faucet for 20 minutes, i can finally get hot water. As i was told by maintenance, "you just have to let it run and it will get hot." 20 minutes? And no, the shower gets hot within 2 minutes of starting. Something is wrong. This also leads to a drain issue i had in the tub after my first week; the previous tenants had broken the shower plug and placed it back in to look normal i assume, because when i went investigating to find why my tub wasnt draining as fast as it should; i was met with a horrendous, smiley ball of hair that diffidently did not belong to me or my cat. I'll spare you all the photo i have of that one, but me and my steel stomach almost lost it. Also, dont expect to have your shower remain one temperature while you clean yourself. It feels as though someone in the next room over is turning on and off the cold water, as you'll fluctuate from scalding to freezing roughly every 30 seconds. Again, im one to grin and bear it when it comes to service that fails, but 950$+ a month for a 1 bedroom, and these are the problems i face everyday, it isnt worth it to grin and bear it anymore.

TAKE PICTURES WHEN YOU MOVE OUT!! I lived in my apartment for two years and recently moved. They are trying to charge me damages to the kitchen floor which there wasn't and to replace the carpet when i rented a carpet cleaner before leaving. I honestly liked living here but if this is the treatment you get when leaving I wouldn’t have rented in the first place.

I drove 2 hours roundtrip to tour an apartment just to be told that their pet policy doesn't allow reptiles, despite their website's stated pet policy listing no restrictions on what animals are and aren't allowed. When I then tried to speak with a property manager to get a better understanding of the policy they were extremely rude and dismissive.
