MACK PARK

Don’t move here if you can go elsewhere. Extremely unsafe complex. Had MANY instances while we were there. I lived with my boyfriend. I opened my front door and saw a homeless man touching my vehicle and other vehicles and then he proceeded to jump into the dumpster and never came out. I had to call the non emergency line to get him out. Also had a crazy neighbor leave a threatening note about stealing their iPad and the staff refused to tell me which neighbor put that note on our door. Also spotted two people walking around the dumpster area with knives so we stayed inside. Also had a homeless lady sleeping on my FRONT DOOR STEP which scared the heck out of me and my boyfriend. Next door neighbor also kept throwing their trash and cigarette buds into our back patio which was annoying. Old lady kept walking to our unit specially to let her dog pee and poop in our front lawn. Also had trash dumped at our front door MANY times. Not sure what was up over there my boyfriend and I were quiet and unproblematic. We stayed inside unless we had to work and just took care of our cats. Luckily we moved out and live IN A MUCH MUCH BETTER complex and area. Screw Mack park I felt like stuff would go down at any second.

I lived here for 3 years. Do not move here. If you are parents looking for a place to house your college student, do NOT choose this complex. It is unsafe and not well maintained. The only reason I’m giving 2 stars instead of 1, is because Ray (maintenance) was the friendliest and most competent staff member. He always went above and beyond. We genuinely miss daily interactions with him now that we own a home. The numerous bad things: 1) I kept a spotless apartment and still had roaches because some of the neighbors are filthy. Pest control is charged monthly, yet we only had one technician enter our apartment in 3 years. 2) Apartments are poorly maintained and never clean when you move in. Mold, peeling finish on tubs cause they just keep repainting them, carpet beyond its lifespan, rotting wood on buildings, water damaged floors and particle board cabinets/counters falling apart (and I was in an “upgraded” unit) I lived in 2 separate units and both were DISGUSTING when I moved in. They even admitted for the first unit that they didn’t have time to get it cleaned and simply apologized and didn’t fix it! 3) Was approached multiple times by homeless people begging for money in the parking lot and while leaving my apartment. One time a man even tried to come INTO my apartment. 4) Office staff (Other than Kennedy, she was kind) are completely incompetent and rude. Especially Kashmir. 5) Constant police presence. This is NOT a safe complex. I didn’t even walk my dogs at night because I was approached and threatened by men so often. 6) Water was shut off on at least 20 different occasions within our time living here. Often for SEVERAL hours or overnight and without notice. 7) the open field behind the complex seems great! But theres actually a homeless camp in the trees. 8) if you get a 2 story apartment, be prepared to be hot because the air conditioners suck. 9) Manager leased out our garage by mistake and told us to have everything out by the weekend. That’s not lawful and once I made it known, she relented. However, she would’ve done it anyway if I didn’t push back. There are so many things I could say in addition to this. But I would move to another state before I would live here again. Once again — thank you Ray for being the shining light in this dark place.
