What we found

Staff like Geovanni, Chante, and Diana earn strong praise for attentiveness and quick repairs, and most recent reviews celebrate the community. However, a detailed move-in account reveals serious gaps: apartments arrived unclean (cat urine odors persisting months later, paint overspray, debris), maintenance requests required repeated follow-ups to complete, and grounds upkeep lags badly (dead wildlife left for months, empty pet waste bins, ant mounds, hornet nests, trash). New residents should inspect thoroughly and document on arrival.

Praised for
  • responsive maintenance staff (Geovanni, Geo)
  • friendly and attentive office/leasing staff (Chante, Diana)
  • swift repairs when staff is engaged
  • great location near Tech Ridge and I-35
Watch-outs
  • apartments not move-in ready, poor pre-occupancy cleaning
  • maintenance slow to respond to some requests, inconsistent follow-up
  • pest problems (ants, cockroaches, wasps, hornet nests)
  • pet waste stations often empty or understocked
  • grounds maintenance neglected (dead animals, trash buildup, ant mounds)

Think twice if: Move-in readiness and grounds upkeep are inconsistent; document apartment condition at check-in and follow up on maintenance requests in writing.

Resident ratings

Student Housing
Location and amenities (pool, fitness, volleyball) work well for students, but move-in cleanliness and grounds upkeep issues risk tenant frustration.
Pet-Friendly Apartments
Pet park and private yards are appealing, but empty waste stations, dead animals on property, and pest problems (ants, wasps, hornet nests) undermine the pet-friendly promise.

FAQ

Are there pet amenities available?
Yes, Parmer Place has a dedicated pet park. However, reviews note that pet waste stations are frequently empty or understocked, and dead animals have remained on the property for extended periods, which are concerns for pet owners.
Can I get a same-day repair if something breaks?
When maintenance supervisor Geovanni is assigned, yes-recent reviews cite same-day fixes. However, other maintenance requests have required multiple follow-ups to complete, so response times vary.
What outdoor features do units offer?
The business offers private yards and garages with some units. The community also has a pool, sand volleyball court, and 24-hour fitness studio.

Most recent five-star reviews praise a genuinely engaged staff: front desk, maintenance technicians Gabriel and Justin, and community manager Lisa earn consistent mention for going above and beyond. Long-term residents highlight quick maintenance response and a peaceful environment with good amenities, trees, and nearby shopping. However, a significant minority report serious gaps. Move-in experiences vary wildly, from clean units to apartments with flies, broken appliances, and deferred maintenance. Complaints escalate to pest infestation, lax security (gates often open, car break-ins reported), and frustration with management's move-out deposit practices. The gap between best and worst experiences suggests inconsistency in execution.

Most reviewers describe a clean, well-kept community where maintenance responds quickly and the leasing team builds genuine relationships. Units have granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and spacious layouts with reliable heating and cooling. Pet owners appreciate dedicated dog wash stations, poop bag supplies, and staff who enforce regular waste removal. A small number of visitors encountered dismissive pricing conversations and felt unwelcome by certain staff members during tours, though these incidents appear isolated. The property offers fiber internet, car wash stations, recycling, and regular resident events. Reviewers note plentiful parking, quiet units with tolerable soundproofing, and maintenance staff like Franklin and Franklyn who solve problems within hours without formal tickets. One long-term resident reported rent decreases during their tenure and fair move-out accounting. The gated community appeals to those prioritizing security and a park-like setting.

Staff and events make Progress feel welcoming, but the gap between luxury positioning and everyday quality is real. Parking damage, noise bleed, and gym/pool upkeep frustrate residents who pay premium rates for a complex that cuts corners on maintenance and neighbor enforcement. Leasing team (Natalie, Maria, Alex) consistently earn five-star praise for attentiveness. Maintenance responds fast on urgent issues. The cyber cafe, smart HVAC, and walking trail access appeal to active residents. But low bathroom ceilings, visible paint flaws, and included Wi-Fi that requires paid upgrades undercut the luxury brand. Governance is the sticking point: residents park across lines with no penalty, trash lingers in hallways, and management refused early lease exit even for a resident buying a home.
