The Roxton Apartments

This is an AMAZING apartment complex. It has a splash pad, pool, and small gym you can go in for free! They give out free snacks sometimes and the people who work there are always nice. The buildings look great and clean.

When I moved in 5 years ago it seemed very nice & Lauren, the assistant manager, was very nice & helpful. While doing the walk thru I asked about needing to fill out a move in form for damages. She said if I wanted to but stated the only 3 things we found were normal wear & tear items & I couldn't be charged for them later, those items being rust on the bottom of the tub, a discolored guest bathroom sink, & old discolored stove drip pans. I asked about roach problems (I don't do bugs) & she reassured me there wasn't any, which was true by all appearance, only to find out about 3 years later by a couple staff members that my apartment had been over run with them before they cleaned up for my walk thru. Fortunately, the only times I saw them was after they sprayed units next to mine, then I'd find an occasional slow moving or dead one. What I didn't realize until my first night trying to sleep was how loud it was from 288 traffic. I got a lot of sound proofing foam for my window, which helped just a little, but I had to use a couple fans for white noise to cover up the traffic noise. I can't use earplugs due to my tinnitus. About 3 to 4 months later a vertical slat broke out of the blue, & I noticed it had been previously broken but someone had taped then stapled the top broken top part then hung it back up. I also noted then that it was missing the far end vertical slat, so because I hadn't found those and put them on a move in form, I was responsible. I would never have thought to have checked the top of the vertical blinds, yet Lauren saw it & said I would still need to pay for the replacements. The neighbors for the most part were nice but kept to themselves. Only a couple problems with noise from one above. The complex was usually quiet except some kids playing, but that didn't bother me. No outside cameras allowed here. The other problems I've had is when it rained hard hitting the door it would leak water into the apartment, no good sealant around the door so cold or hot depending on the season, work orders were usually pretty timely except a couple were a few months. As of the time I moved out the kitchen sink sprayer hadn't worked for months & still mold in the AC unit they wouldn't fix. There's also a very high turnover in office staff, 6 different managers and assistant managers so far this year. Now for the move out, which is mostly why I'm only giving them 2 stars. Everything was clean except the stove pans which I overlooked, in part because I rarely used the stove, & the guest bath & sink were cleaned TWICE. I did it, then when my son came over to help with move out cleanup, while I was mopping a room, he cleaned the guest bath again after seeing the tub rust and discolored sink. I had always used a tub mat when bathing because of the rust & some parts were slippery. So I called once asking to speak to the manager about getting my refund back, being told by the assistant manager that she would leave a message for the new manager to call me back, which never happened. They also got a new AI answering service, so now you're lucky to speak to anyone w/o going there in person, which I can't because I no longer have a car because they went up so much on rent. After many attempts to contact, I received partial deposit reimbursement, discounting the tub, the sink, the washing machine dirty (video proving it wasn't, and I had just done laundry), a couple blind slats, a "stained microwave" that wasn't, & for cleaning stove pans & a couple cupboards they say were dirty, which weren't, & I have video taping for proof. I've checked & all but the slats & stove pans are normal wear & tear, & they can't charge me more than the $13 replacements value for the drip pans. I will report this to HUD.
