| - READ BEFORE RENTING I CANNOT STRESS ENOUGH
This review is of my experience living at Aspire. Renter Beware! Take this review as you may as you should with any review. This is just my experience.
At first glance Aspire looks great! Huge gym, pools, club house, location, free breakfast just to name a few things. Then you live there... Where do I begin? Let's start with what I will call summer problems. During the summer since you live next to the wash at night expect to see droves of cockroaches running around the property. These will get into your apartment from time to time as well. Nothing you can do about the amount of roaches that inhabit the grounds at night during the summer. Also, be prepared to find scorpions frequently in your apartment. I would find them more often than I like. During the summer around the property in the water reservoirs they get inhabited by bees. These are the same bee's I got swarmed on and broke my glasses. When I called to report it my response back was "that sucks" also filled with laughter. No apologies, no offer to replace my glasses due to lack of maintenance to get rid of these hives. Also during the move out process, I was told we can't take blame for Mother Nature (Good one! It's rich and condescending). These bees are all around the property. Occasionally I would find a small snake on the grounds as well. These are what I deem the summer problems of Aspire.
Now management.. Is that what they are supposed to be? These people are aggressive! I would encounter any request with a hardnosed reply. Constant "reminders" to the community about an issue on a scale of 1 to 10. Also expect a fee on everything you do. Everything at Aspire comes with a cost. If they have to hold your package for whatever reason (good luck getting your package btw they hold your items hostage). If you are not home for certain inspections, BAM! fee. Doesn't matter you will find multiple pricing scales along the journey. Maintenance request are met with prompt delays with a smile. I had a broker shower head that did not get fixed for a week. I eventually out of pocket had to replace it myself. I had multiple issues within the apartment that ended up with long wait times. Once a maintenance guy left my apartment and swung the door open wide and let it slam. I didn't say anything to the guy let him do the work as needed. I guess that is rude? I don't know the reason for that action (maybe it's just because of the company he works for?). Point of this section is the management is far from professional it is of the finest LOWER END of customer service. This is not only my opinion but that of many residents who moved out from all demographics with the same feelings.
The residents, I have had a revolving door of neighbors as the consensus is the money is not worth what you get... and I would highly agree. I have seen the cops called to the apartments many times. The flight school students (this is Aspire's only priority as this is their cash cow) these guys change apartments at any time they want. You will have a different neighbor frequently. Also they will put up to 6 of the flight school students to a one bedroom. This is not uncommon here at this property. They finally got the transit under control of these students as they would get picked up in the most obnoxious places and they would surround your car and block sidewalks and you would run a gauntlet to get to the trash bins. Also a lot of people will not pick up after their pets so you will see dog poop scattered on the property as well.
My move out after 5+ years. This was one of the most and horrible experiences of all my years of renting. I get that you leave your apartment in a clean condition (which I did), I get there is a check list of items to take care of (again, I did).. this is not enough for them. I had a pre move out inspection and within seconds and from 7ft away the apartment manager points at a crack in my microwave door that was hairline and very hard to see especially from his vantage and distance. I got dinged $175 for this door. The truth is, this probably was there prior to me moving in. I never noticed this because of how small it is. My guess is, it's not fixed and the new tenant will pay for it yet again. My door blind which is the worst grade material (vinyl) broke within the first year, as many do when you walk around the property, you will also pay for this. I sold blinds for over 10 years, I know how to treat them, use them and what is a true quality as these are not. Whenever I had asked them to replace the blind, that always came with a cost and they never own up to the quality of this blind, again it was about money. My walls were cleaned and I was told that it's best to let them do the touch up paint at a cost of $65, it ended up being $150 in the end. Consider your deposit GONE when you move into this place. They will find reasons to take it.
