My final thoughts are that if you aren't studying law, you will be frustrated. There isn't much "sorry for the inconveniences of our run down apartments" you have to approach it as "why would any of this be like this?!" Before they volunteer to cover charges you shouldn't ever have to worry about. The area however, is fantastic, quiet, out of the way. I believe one person was killed in the apartment next to mine, but that was the only crime besides licence plates being swapped for the neighbors at the other end of the complex. Really close to downtown, right next to the zoo, easy access to the busy areas without having to fight traffic to get out. 2/5 because the staff are kind, the owners are the issue.
1 STAR IS NOT A LOW ENOUGH RATING. NEVER MOVE IN HERE!! I hate it. Bugs come from everywhere. (doors, Windows, air vents, drains) There are cracks in the walls. You can never get the cabinets clean because they're extremely cheaply made and become disfigured when wet. The carpets are disgusting and it's obvious that Tamarind hires poor quality carpenters to fix the apartments. The doors stick so badly that i have blisters on my hands just trying to open the doors. Work requests never ever get done. The model house is a lie. You don't get a walk through before you move in because "it is not policy" and now I can see why. People would go running for the hills if they saw this place. The laundry room almost never works. The machines are always out of order. When they do work, half the time the machines steal your money. Ive only been here 3 months. I signed a year lease..... I would rather sell my soul than have to wait until the lease is up to leave. NEVER EVER CHOSE TAMARIND AT STONERIDGE AS YOUR PLACE TO LIVE!!!!!
When I moved here in 2014, the area was actually nice. In two years it went completely downhill. They have gone through 4 managers in less than 2 years. I had a serious wasp problem that they did not attend to. They also don't answer their phones. Very sketchy and scary! There were repeated break ins and management never notified us of anything. There were even a couple of shootings. I don't recommend living here unless you like palmetto bugs everywhere and poor property. Cindy was the best person in the office so props to her for staying in that hole!
I can say that I have truly enjoyed my three years as a resident at Tamarind. The staff and owners have changed a lot over the years, but one has remained the same - Cynthia! She is hilarious, fair, honest, and gets you what you need in a timely manner. The apartment layout is great and spacious (2 bed, 2 bath). No complaints!
They're also not there to make your leasing experience easy, we got hit with a "you need to give us 60 days notice to leave, per the fine print in your agreement, or we charge additional months" letter, with 37 days of our lease remaining. So luckily (?) We only have to pay a single extra month of rent. None of the other apartments in the area need to run a shady business; most likely to make ends meet.
The floors are shaped like a half-pipe underneath the carpet, each room starting another dip and rise on the sides and water damage is pretty much in ever corner of the house.
At first, the staff is welcoming and kind and caters to your every request happily. About 2 months in and they'll only help you if you annoy them. The foundation of the apartment I stayed in is currently sinking, there's about a six inch difference between the back wall and the front door. As well as the entrance itself (about 8 sq. Ft.) slopping down an additional 2. I asked them to check it out, they came and looked and I never saw them again. Honestly I wouldn't recommend any friends or family simply because I have no idea how long this is safe. Is the entrance going to fall through when we take the washer and dryer out? Who knows?! I've already broken one key because the frame of the door doesn't match the slope of the foundation and the deadbolt is sometimes an impossible task if there isn't one person to pull the door and another to turn the key.
Office staff have always been nice and very personable. We had a bad ceiling leak but it was eventually taken care of. As for the apartment itself, it is very spacious and well priced. I've lived at alot of different apartment complexes and I for sure like this one the best. The buildings are a little old but have been pretty well maintained. Again the price is great for what you get.
