I have lived at Post Park apartments for 3 years. At first, I had no issues with the complex. We lived on the 6th floor in the back our first year. No bugs or mice. It was spacious and very clean at move-in. Then at the end of the first lease, we moved down two floors due to cheaper renewal rates. The move-out process was smooth. We didn't owe anything during this move-out (please remember this sentence while reading). However, our second apartment at this complex was disaster from the start. It was NOT clean. We had to re-clean our kitchen. We saw dead roaches in the cabinets. The cleaning staff had to return to clean again. And low and behold, we got BEDBUGS! But Post Park did pay for the treatment and after the treatment we had no bedbugs. Other than that, we had no issues during the year and a half in this second apartment.
There was some break-ins for cars and apartments during our stay here. Luckily, we didn't have any experiences with this. The gate was broken almost every other week. So if you want a reliable gated community, this is not the place. Also, both apartments was a far walk to the trash which isn't terrible because I don't want to be near the trash compactor in case it leads to bugs, mice. And let's talk about management now. We had new management every year. There was a different lady when I first moved in (loved her). Then there was different people when we signed up for the second lease (they were great). And then there was a new set of people at move-out (not great). And one more complaint about this place is WEED, WEED, and more WEED. I had family visiting one weekend and the smell was so strong near the pool we actually just had to leave. The smell is so strong at night when I have to go out to empty the trash, gym, or just come in late. I sent an email to management but I still smell weed. It wasn't like this in the beginning though. I would say it's gotten worse in the past few months or so.

So we moved out on July 11 and our apartment was clean (much cleaner than move-in). We only took a few pictures though. PLEASE DO NOT MAKE THIS MISTAKE WHEN YOU MOVE OUT. Take a photo of every space, every corner. They ripped us off when it came to charges. Remember I said to remember the sentence that said "we didn't owe anything during our first move-out". Well we moved the same items from that apartment to the new one and did the same thing in the new one, which is not damage the place smh. Here is a summary of the charges (wall treatment over $300, carpet stain $50). We had no pets and no children. We were students basically studying all of the time. We did have one small carpet stain near our trash can where something leaked from trash one day. The wall stains look like MINOR scrapings from items. If your dresser, bed, desk chair, storage containers TOUCH the wall, that's a charge! It looks like basic wall paint can cover some of those stains in the pictures they sent us. Yeah you would think (slaps forehead).This place is fee-driven and money hungry. I forgot to add other hidden fees that they tend to charge during your stay here like utility fee of $3 something. They also did my classmates the same way when they moved out. They warned me to take photos and we didn't take many. So I'm telling you to please take photos of everything! It's ridiculous.
