The Summit Apartments

"I hate this place. Rent is cheap, but the crime rate is ridiculous in this area; the police have to do patrols at night on the weekends because of recent criminal activity. You cannot even feel safe in your own home or let your kids run freely outside without worrying that you or them will become the next shooting victim. We are only here because finding a better apartment in Virginia is like trying to find a needle in a haystack. Honestly, it’s sad to see a largely black community struggle with violence; we shouldn’t hear anything about kids dying from adult actions. No parking permits nor gates, so pretty much anyone can come in and out of the apartments. I have trouble finding parking in front of my own apartment because the neighbors or anyone else has company over ( or if a random person is looming). Some people leave their abandoned cars out here in the parking lots. The managers said they were going to enforce parking permits and tow cars, but that hasn’t occurred. There’s always trash outside of the dumpster. I have to cover up my feet good and wear gloves whenever I come out to take the trash because it’s gross. Maintenance is incredibly slow with fixing things within the apartment. My mom and I had problems with mold last year and had to briefly stay in a hotel to get the wall fixed. Recently, the leaks in the laundry room has occurred again, so we are hoping they can find a proper resolution for this asap."

"Come on Jean, be nice to those renters! *grin* Hope you are doing well, Miss ya!"

"We stayed here when it first opened up, we were the first to live in our apartment. They were very nice, towards the end they started letting anybody in, of course you don't know what kind of people you're letting in until they have already signed the lease. I don't blame them sending out a lot of notes. Kids were out late at 12-1 am with their hoodrat parents not caring about their kids 5 years old were out that late, letting the kids ring on people's doorbells and running, kids talking back to adults. Once again this isn't the apartment complex fault. When we we're there the apartment managers were super nice. They had to put in speed bumps, right when we left. People would ride by at night in the complex like it was the Virginia Beach strip or something speeding. I noticed they use to but notes on the doors for rent but that was because those people were behind on the rent. They give you until the 5th, so that's plenty of time to avoid getting a late rent note. I liked how they have a few inspection every year, people who don't care will trash things up especially those on section 8. The complex tries to keep things looking nice."

"We have a nasty landlord Jean! And they take their precious time fixing things. But quick to put notes on doors for rent ."

"The place and condition is okay but the property manager and landlord, JEAN MARTIN, is ugly and pure evil. Constantly threatening tenants and putting letters in people's doors for every single thing, even if you're a quiet cooperative tenant and stay out of the way. This is not the way to treat a client! As long as she's employed there, take my advice and do not move to the Summit apartments! You-'ll be continually harassed by her for as long as you live there. She can pick on tenants for little stuff, but won't address the need for heavier security when it comes to thugs shooting up your apartment."
