The Village Gate

DO NOT MOVE HERE The village gate is NOT a safe place to live. Recently my roommate was a victim of his car being stolen. Not only that, but this happened not even 100 feet from where we live. I spoke with the property manager Dina and she assured me there was nothing she could do. She offered to have the village patrol to come by more. That's an interesting request after we had already reported a vehicle break in only a couple months prior. So clearly that is an empty promise. In addition she suggested we move somewhere else in the village if we have an issue for the exact same fee anyone else would pay to move places. And when I asked if there was anything she could do financially for us, she assured me the rent is what it is and there is nothing she can do about it. Do not live here or anywhere in the village. They posture as helpful and super friendly, but all they care about is collecting your rent check at the first of every month.

I lived here 2 years. My bike was stolen from my balcony, coincidentally at the same time they had repairs being done on the balcony. They did nothing to help me. Matter of fact they laughed and said it was impressive when I first mentioned it. It was a $600 mountain bike.

When I first moved here in 2023, there was a major roach problem. It was pretty bad like 2-8 roaches a day. At first they had a weekly exterminator spray our apartment, which was fine but didn’t solve the root issue. Within our first year of living here, they really took measures to solve the root issue and have successfully solved it. Once someone moved out of one unit near by us that was the source of the issue, they were able to really clean up that major pain point where my roomate and I don’t see roaches anymore. Staff has always been really communicative letting us know what kind of maintenance is happening or if something has happened in the community. Staff is also really responsive to maintenance requests. The maintenance man is really nice, and we never wait longer than 2 days to have something fixed. It’s nice you get access to the other village amenities like the gym and pool. The units themselves are older, and the kitchen is really small with old appliances. But if you need something within budget, for the space, size, amenities, and easy access to the city, it’s been fine living here. Also, I feel pretty safe living here with patrol always around. Neighbors are pretty quite. A con for some- some of the units are close to the street, so you may be prone to hearing honking and street noises if you are in one of those units

The Village Gate is not well maintained as advertised. The property looks TACKY and UNKEPT! You can’t just manicure the areas where there are activities. You should also manicure where the residents reside! I’ve lived at the Village Bend and the Village Green. Both of those properties are VERY well kept. Landscaping and trash pick up is an emergency for the Village Gate! Do Better with action, not by paying lip service!

kinda old but nice prices and rooms if you keep them clean. Massive modern amenities center nearby too and two bus stops.
