Park Place Waco

There aren’t enough negative words to describe this place. Expect zero communication from the apartment complex on anything happening! From both parking garage (which you pay $50 for) doors being broken for months on end with no word of when they would be fixed (they have been broken since December and since writing this they are still broken), to random construction men having access to the entire building at a moments notice. They will tell you your apartment is being renovated by a vaguely worded peice of paper telling you to pack up your things in the kitchen and in your room and shove them in your bathtub on a nonspecific date at a nonspecific time. Who knows when you can eat food or use the bathroom? It’s a fun little mystery. Eight hundred a month to live here and they limit access to all amenities while putting the residents in danger with their senseless renovations. Like knocking a waterfall feature down in the pool area that once looked amazing and creating a hazardous environment due to the gas fire pit being damaged right next to it. Which they try and fail to lock residents out of. One day you’ll be allowed in to tan ad the amenity your luxury rent pays for and the next you’ll be locked out. Fun! Be prepared to be the only one concerned about biohazards and emergencies in the apartment! I have had to put in multiple emergency maintenance requests in for puke on the hallway floor (twice) and piss in the elevator. All of which took several hours to get fixed. If that’s not alarming then allow me to tell you about the situation in which the fire department was called because a fire alarm had been going off in the apartment for over FOUR HOURS and they fired department couldn’t get in contact with any of the management who lived on site. In fact, the only way they could get into the apartment itself without breaking the door, was by climbing through a window by the pool. After which, the fire department reported the building to their fire Marshall. And if you want to ask me how I know this, it’s because I called them!! If you want to ask them to take away the monthly charge for “common space maintenance” considering you can’t access any of the common spaces, they will just tell you that that fee is simply for the trash shoot. Which, on any given day, smells like decaying bodies, and could be stacked to the brim with trash bags from residence, who don’t know how to throw away their things. Forget about helpful staff. If you have a problem then they will do nothing but give you a giant run around. Good luck if you signed a lease here, because you basically agree to toss your money in a fire pit at the end of every month. If the doors aren’t locked to the fire pit of course.

If I could give this place 0 stars I would. This place is dirty, unprofessional, constantly broken, and under the worst management I’ve ever experienced, to name a few. The management seems to be on a mission to destroy any amount of peace for every resident in the building. Constant early construction every day of the week, hazardous remodels during finals week, and constant closure of amenities that I pay for. (For reference my roommates and I signed on a house with no amenities, and the apartment is still almost 2 times as expensive) My roommate has cut her leg open on the door, and has not received and support or compensation from the office, despite promises from the general manager. This place is extremely unsafe. The parking garage gates have been perpetually open since the fall semester and multiple cars have been broken into. They refuse to release the camera footage of these events to the victims, even though they are required to do so. They also leave side doors open to the entire complex when preforming unnecessary renovations to the front office. Honestly, I usually elect to stay at friends or my boyfriend’s house because I feel generally unsafe and disturbed in this complex. They also have never responded to any of the non emergency security calls I have made, including the time we saw a random “maintenance” man we’d never seen before (we’ve lived here for 2 years) going in and out of a girls apartment at 1 am hanging air filters. Do not fall for any positive reviews, they recently changed their names to escape even more bad reviews that have been posted for this complex. Don’t live here!

NEVER LIVE HERE!!!!!!!!!! This place may have changed their name, but it hasn’t changed for the better in the slightest. We were promised our amenities (that we PAY for every month) would be fixed April 3rd. “Construction” (if you can even call it that because I hardly see anyone working) is still on going. They won’t even let you go near the pool even if it’s just to tan or hang out in the common space. And don’t get me started on the parking garage, whose doors have been broken since before December and have yet to be fixed or even looked at. That’s another fifty bucks they expect you to pay despite not doing anything to remedy the situation. To call this place an apartment building is generous at best. It’s a mess you pay 700+ for and has the single benefit of being close to campus. If you’re looking for somewhere to live, I’d suggest finding a hole in the ground since that would be more enjoyable than living here has ever been.

If you signed a lease for next year, I would seriously consider trying to cancel it. This has been by far the worst apartment complex I have lived at. Half of the amenities were closed or broken for most of the year, and management was extremely unhelpful whenever issues came up. I’ve never dealt with management this incompetent before. Packages also regularly went missing, which became a major concern for residents. On top of that, the property constantly smelled like either weed or sewage almost every day.
