I always forget about this site, but I was just googling apartments and came across it again.
Tenants essentially rate apartment buildings (like it says in the name of the site, LOL), so that other people who are looking to move there can REALLY know
what it's like (and know that it's not 'a wonderful oasis of heaven' or something like the building's website says) and worth the rent
it's charging.
I was looking at the website of an apartment building and it looked great; I go to apartmentratings.com and it's given only 23% approval rating by it's
tenants! 
Do any of you see your apartment building listed on there?

Yep, I found my first apartment through that site, and after I left, I made a review! It was definitely helpful during my apartment search.

Yes. I hate that site. People all black people horrible names on there. It's like that for lots of buildings I've run across.

That site is basically a site of a bunch of complainers. People who like it rarely post.
People complained about where I live. I don't think it has a high rating at all. But I love it here. I've NEVER had issues and if or when I ever had to ask for maintenance, they were here the next day, like they said they would be. The office personnel is friendly and I've never had a problem with any of them, despite what people say. I did think the parking thing at first was ridiculous. If you didn't have a parking permit, you couldn't park inside the gate after 6 or they would tow your car. Now they let you park inside until 10 if you don't have a pass, which I think is a bit more fair. People complained about the prices and I'll admit, they're a bit high if you live in a 2 or more bedroom but for one bedrooms they give you so much more here. I pay only a little more than some of my friends, who live in smaller apartments. I do live on the second floor which gives me a better deal but it's just so much more roomy than my friends places. I feel cramped when I see them. lol. |

the good reviews are written by apartment management and the bad reviews are written by the few people who didn't read their lease and got screwed.

Any of the places I've gone to, 90% of it is just complaints. *shrug*
Gee, I'm sorry maintenance didn't come change your light bulb but yea, that's your job. Not theirs. |

I don't think the good ones are written by management (or well, not all of them) but I do think most of the bad ones are by people who didn't read the lease and got screwed in some fashion. I remember reading one where I live where the person complained and they didn't have the address # right nor could they spell the street name. Real winner there I tell you.

Yes, I found an apartment I was about to lease for a year. It had about thirteen TERRIBLE reviews and one semi-decent review. Which is why I think I am not
living there right now.
