| - It wasn't until AFTER I signed the lease of satan that I read the reviews online and was HORRIFIED at what people were saying. When I brought it to the attention of the staff, they said it was because angry students who lost their deposits would write bad reviews about them and not to be concerned. LIE LIE LIE. I tried to tell myself that maybe people on the reviews were negative, punky kids who were angry they couldn't have their parties, fun, etc. but everything that was written in the reviews was TRUE!!!
Just like the reviews promised, upon move in day, the unit was completely disgusting. The floors looked as though they hadn't been cleaned one time since the place was built. Every appliance in the unit was filthy with grime, food, old laundry soap caked on washer/dryer and floors, dust, dried beer on the floors, black moldy looking grime build up on counter tops, floors etc and practically any other substance you can think of on the surfaces pf practically everything!
Almost every light, closet door, appliance (including the microwave, oven drawer, toilet, shower, etc) was broken and dysfunctional, and to top it off, it took WEEKS before any of it was fixed (because every unit was destroyed and they don't have enough people to fix them all)It was a horrifying experience for me and my parents as well. My mother and I stayed up for 6 hours well after midnight on our hands and knees cleaning the unit and didnt even complete the whole thing! We literally had to scrub the floor on our knees with rags because a mop could not remove the grime from their "beautiful wood floors". I was disappointed because I felt it was inappropriate for a 50 old women to have to help clean her daughter's dorm room after moving all day, etc. It was not her job, and my mom has already done her share of moving, cleaning, helping and paying for this place!We also paid to have the place professionally cleaned even after cleaning it ourselves and it wasn't until after all that, that vista finally sent their own cleaning crew after days of complaints and no response.
One girl who is of asian decent lives in room B, is constantly slamming doors, throwing laundry on the couch that does not belong to her, left an appalling mess upon move in (including grease splatter, old moldy dishes that were decaying in the sink, dust, trash, boxes, dirty chopsticks, you name it) and continued to be disgusting consistantly throughout the semester. (even though I mentioned to Vista in their "genius" roommate pairing that I wanted someone CLEAN) My other roomate in room C was so miserable here that she returned to the east coast and abandoned her lease, now she is also stuck paying 700 (including parking) with her sublet leased on craigslist along with the other 450 posts that the other students at Vista have made. I feel that after my mother contacting Ellen Peck, The general manager Mike, and several others who promised to return calls, make changes, etc..nothing really has been done to make up for what I feel is a huge loss from my college experience that cannot be replaced.All I want to do now is some how escape the thin walls, loud long boarders skating down the hallways all night and day above my ceiling, drunken parties, people urinating outside on the building itself, happy meal remains showing up in the elevators and on the staircases, bikes hanging from the light posts and fences without tires, trash and rotting food on top of the dumpsters, ecstasy labs being busted in a building nearby and lets not forget the lying, miserable deceitful staff and the all around unpleasant people that contribute to this depressing experience that Vista Del HELL has to offer. If anyone ANYONE! has any idea on how to escape, I would LOVE to know. For now, it may be possible we will eat our losses and I may move out anyways to keep my sanity. So please, if You don't believe my review, fine. But before you move in, read more, google vista, read even more, and ask the students that live there. More than likely, you will hear the same story over and over, just as I learned AFTER i signed the lease!
