The Haywood Apartments

4.2(181)✓ Google-verified

The leasing team consistently earns five-star praise for their energy and professionalism, and the buildings themselves are visibly well-finished with strong amenities. Yet residents who report problems find management largely unresponsive: complaints about noise, unpaid referral bonuses, or AC breakdowns go unanswered for weeks, and move-out fees are charged aggressively despite professional cleaning or long tenancy. Communication breakdowns repeat across reviews. Staff turnover and gate failures create persistent friction. Parking is chaotic, pest control fails to contain roaches and fleas in the dog park, and maintenance work is often delayed or band-aided. Long-term residents describe watching quality slide after management changes. The 4.2 rating reflects a sharp divide: newcomers love the space and service; those who stay longer hit unresponsive systems and unpredictable costs.

Residents consistently praise the leasing team (Michelle, Kiersten, Lorena) for warmth and flexibility with lease extensions, and maintenance for speed and care. The grounds stay clean and the security gates provide genuine peace of mind. Recent management changes have tightened operations noticeably. Theft of packages and decorations, plus surprise trash fees, frustrate some; a few report maintenance notes don't reach tenants and water pressure issues linger without resolution. Long-term residents (2-11 years) speak most highly of the shift in management quality.

Farmhouse draws strong loyalty from residents who value the engaged management team-Austin, Kallyn, and Kenia are named repeatedly for going above and beyond-and the sense of genuine community fostered through events and neighborly culture. Maintenance staff like Don are praised for responsiveness, and the property's cleanliness and grounds command consistent compliments. Yet persistent complaints fracture this picture: newer residents report appliances (dishwashers, refrigerators, dryers) arriving broken or failing rapidly, unresolved pest infestations (especially fleas) that dragged on for months, and delayed or superficial repairs despite documentation. Security gate breakdowns, missed tour appointments, and contested move-out charges add friction. The dog-friendly model, while attracting pet owners, also generates noise and waste issues management has struggled to contain.
