What we found

Reviewers often praise the leasing team's warmth and maintenance's speed, along with attractive amenities like the gym and spacious layouts. However, noise bleed between units is consistent across complaints, move-in conditions have been substandard (urine, mold, food stains), and pest issues persist despite weekly spraying; some tenants also flag deceptive lease-renewal practices and construction defects that worsen over time.

Maintenance handles work orders within one to two days, yet recurring problems (broken dog park gates, garage flooding) go unfixed for months. The office staff-particularly Ava and Victoria-drew specific praise, but the broader experience splits sharply: engaged residents enjoy the community; frustrated ones cite bait-and-switch tour practices, vague move-out charges, and a pattern of ignoring maintenance requests that don't fit management's priorities.

Praised for
  • friendly leasing staff
  • quick maintenance response
  • modern amenities (gym, pool, clubhouse)
  • spacious floor plans
  • in-unit laundry
Watch-outs
  • thin walls and noise issues
  • poor upkeep at move-in
  • pest problems unresolved
  • aggressive lease renewal tactics
  • poor construction quality
  • garage flooding
  • security concerns

Best for: Pet owners and remote workers valuing spacious layouts and reliable maintenance response.
Think twice if: Noise sensitivity a concern; sound transfer is severe, move-in inspections are inconsistent, and pest control has not reliably resolved infestations.

What this place gets right

  • friendly leasing and maintenance staff
  • spacious multi-bedroom townhomes
  • in-unit washer-dryer standard
  • quick maintenance turnaround

Before you tour or apply

  • Leasing agents Ava and Victoria frequently mentioned by name for exceptional service.
  • Maintenance completes work orders in one to two days on average.
  • Garage flooding reported during storms; management denies responsibility.
  • Move-in units found with urine on toilets, mold in ice makers, uncleaned showers (with pencil marks still visible from construction).
  • Dog park gates have broken repeatedly; one dog was lost when gates failed to close.
  • Weekly pest spraying occurs on Tuesdays but has not eliminated roaches and spiders.
  • Pet fees: $250 one-time fee, $250 deposit, $15 monthly rent per pet.
  • Lease renewal notices taped to doors 58 days before end of lease, creating a trap if tenants miss the 60-day cancellation window.

Resident ratings

Student Housing
Spacious, well-amenitied layouts appeal to students; poor soundproofing and pet control issues are drawbacks.
Luxury Apartments
Modern finishes and amenities market as luxury, but construction flaws (mold, wall cracks, thin walls) contradict premium positioning.
Townhome & Garden-Style Communities
Multi-bedroom floor plans with garages praised; structural defects and maintenance neglect undermine value.
Pet-Friendly Apartments
Dog park and pet policies attract pet owners; broken gates and inconsistent pest control create hazards.

Hillside on Parmer Lane

3.2(33)✓ Google-verifiedPublishes prices

Hillside on Parmer's 3.2 rating reflects a sharp split: roughly half give five stars, half give one or two. New residents praise the buildings, grounds, and maintenance responsiveness, but this honeymoon often sours fast. Soundproofing fails badly, with neighbors' footsteps loud enough to shake beds and interrupt sleep. Water leaks, malfunctioning garages, and unreliable trash pickup compound the frustration. The towing arrangement is a flashpoint: a third-party service (Parking Compliance Solutions) tows vehicles without warning, even when owners registered with the complex, and extracts $350 to release them. Management communication is inconsistent, and resident complaints about noisy or disruptive neighbors go unresolved despite repeated reports. The maintenance team earns genuine credit for speed and helpfulness when called, and new arrivals often highlight the freshness of finishes and amenities like the pool. Staff names like Grace, Brittany, and Martins appear in positive reviews. But structural shortcuts became visible within weeks: mold, water intrusion, faulty AC units that took two weeks to repair, broken windows at move-in. Over time, residents describe feeling trapped between poor construction, lax enforcement of neighbor conduct, and an unresponsive management layer.

Reviewers report sharp differences in experience. Those who moved in recently praise quick maintenance response and friendly staff, particularly noting Billy and Margarita. Longer-term residents describe declining conditions: ants, hornets in stairwells, filthy shared spaces, parking shortages, and $800 monthly towing fees. Management communication is mixed-some find staff transparent and helpful; others report gatekeeping behavior, unresponsive leadership, and accusations without clear proof. The application process drew complaints about unclear documentation requirements and non-refundable fees.

The Amber

Tenants consistently praise the leasing process and staff warmth, particularly highlighting Melanie, Liz, and Cody's attentiveness. The modern building, amenities, and responsive maintenance team draw strong approval. However, a small subset report uneven front-office professionalism, strict visitor parking enforcement, persistent pest issues, and early utility calibration glitches. Most residents view these as manageable in a new property. The community excels at pre-lease customer service, from unit measurements to transparent pricing and preferred employer discounts. Staff go beyond typical scope to ease the move. Maintenance handles issues quickly, though some eco-friendly design choices required adjustment. Visitor parking limits (7 days per month before lease addition required) and associated tow fees have frustrated some; complaints suggest enforcement feels overzealous given visible available parking.
