Eastgate Apartments

My son Adrian and I recently took a tour of this property, and we loved it! The club's house is beautiful, along with the property itself. Jacquez was very informative and answered all the questions that we had. I love how he highlighted the residents' events that my son could look forward to while living there! Looking forward to moving my son here in the Fall!

The condition of the Eastgate apartment upon move in was horrible, but my son still wanted to live there. I had him document and take photos of all the pre existing damages. Things such as cracked mirror in bathroom, stains on carpets, bathroom door damage, kitchen drawers that didn’t open properly, for example. He turned in the move in condition form as required. Following move out, we received an invoice for several of these exact damages and costs to replace. All attempts to resolve this with management have been unsuccessful to this point. Multiple phone calls and emails and keep getting told they’ll get to it. All the while still receiving an invoice of $1,175.00 every 10 days. Of note, is the charge they have for replacing 2 internal doors. First, they were in horrible condition upon move in, and second, they have a charge of $900 to replace. That’s $450.00 per door. Are you kidding me. These are the cheapest doors you can get, and at Lowe’s sell for $60 a door. If you google Greystar, you’ll see class action lawsuits against this company. Now I understand why.

New employees are wayyy better than the old ones. They are actually responsive but maintenance quality went down. There is def still a bug problem tho and apartments are old and prone to having issues. But the new management seems to care more. Haven’t had any issues with them

I cannot express you are in great hands when you rent an apartment here!! You will not fall through the cracks! You will be seen and heard and cared about! Every phone call I received kindness and understanding and patient staff members!! I cannot express enough how they went above and beyond to helping my daughter with her apartment! Thank you Eastgate !!! Ya'll are truly where I would want my student to live and where I would put my money again!! Thank you also for the renovations you are doing and making this an even better place to be!!!

TL:DR: I do not believe the single bedroom apartments are worth $1,100 a month. They are very outdated, dark, and bug infested in my experience. Check the pictures below and compare to those posted on Eastgate's website and decide for yourself. I have lived at Eastgate since Fall 2020, and for a time this review would have been 3 stars, however the management of the complex has decided to raise the rent of all apartments significantly in just one year, and in no way are the one bedroom apartments worth $1,100. As for the complex itself, I suppose it is decent enough, clearly old and in need of a complete overhaul, except for the leasing office, but not the worst ever. I cannot vouch for ammenities as I never used anything other than the laundry facility, which was acceptable. My main complaints are with the apartment itself. I lived in the A2 model for all three years, and at the time the price was around $700 or less. At this price range, most of these complaints can be explained as "you pay for what you get." However, to charge $1,100 you would need to seriously renovate these apartments. The pictures and model unit you are shown often DO NOT match that of the apartment you are given, the model has new walls, appliances, generally better maintained. The unit I received still have wood panel walls that had been spray painted over so many times and in such a hurry that the paint still felt tacky and had drip marks everywhere when I moved out three years later. The bathroom fixtures were molding around the seals, and so was the bathtub itself. Each and every cabinet had a handful of dead cockroaches (which was a continuous problem even after several attempts to use Eastgate's provided pest control, so I gave up requesting they spray). I can recall many occasions where I woke up to a cockroach climbing on top of me, and this year I was fed up and moved out. There are very few students here, the pool was mostly used by people who don't live at Eastgate. No one picks up after their dog and the smell of weed and dog feces plagues any grassy areas near the 5th street sidewalks. The only positive I can recall was the staff, they were helpful and friendly in my experience. If you truly wish to move here, ask the staff to show you a non-model unit. The pictures below are ones I took after I had cleaned it throughly and is in much better shape than I received it.
