I dont usually go as far as to write negative reviews when i have a bad experience, but this has just gone too far. Meb unfortunately bought out the apartments that I WAS very happy living in. Since that time, they have "lost" my money orders for rent one month, insisted I pay the rent twice, which I had to do to avoid an eviction. They never answer their phone, and you will not recieve a call back. If you have a maintenance issue? Good luck! I have made 5 seperate calls about my air conditioning this summer. They REFUSED to fix it until the compresser had gone out completely, after months of my apt bring 80 degrees plus. After it was "fixed" the vents immediately began pouring smoke. I called about it, got no answer, called again, no answer, called a third time, no answer. I had to go to work. Called a 4th time from work and finally got an answer. They were sending someone "right out" and they would let me know when they find the problem with my BRAND NEW ac. Waited 4 hours, of course they never called. So i called them (3 times to get an answer this time) and was told "don't worry, we sent maintenance out, it's fixed." Came home, problem was not fixed, called maintenance, who showed up at my house DRUNK and reeking of alcohol. Asked him what exactly he fixed when he was there that morning. (We only have one maintenance man, for a 300+ unit complex. But that's another story) he informed me that he was never at my apartment that morning. He was not even aware of the problem. ( to be fair that could have something to do with his drinking on the job) so the front desk flat out lied. Allowing my daughter and i to breathe in whatever that thing is blowing out of the vents for hours. The manager Cara is one of the rudest individuals I have ever encountered. Her staff is not much better. If you bring a problem to her attention you are just being "unreasonable" and "defensive." Since MEB bought this complex it has become so trashy. It used to be a nice place to live, now the grass is overgrown and yellow, plants and trees are left to die and eventually be pulled out. Trash EVERYWHERE, more broken down abandoned cars in the lost then cars that are actually being driven. A concrete stair outside of my apartment broke off, they replaced it with a piece of plywood. On top of all this, the rent is going up! When i called the corperate office to bring this to their attention, it took 3 voice messages to get a call back. But, at least they called. That's more then i can expect from the leasing office. i am moving out the second my lease allows. I urge you to not make the mistake of moving in.
