Forest View Apartments

"Worst! Never live here. The management is the worst here. I moved in January 2022 and did an early termination in May 2022. Technically they need to take me for move out inspection but they didn’t. After a couple of months, i see $80 charges on me for damage with photos which were vague. The unit was not mine and they deducted my security of $900 and added an extra $80. I have been emailing them and greystar (the one who manages their charges) 2 years now and I haven’t seen any progress since nobody replies to me. The charges are still due on me. Its the worst, please beware of their scams."

"The people in the neighborhood and the people who live here are great and the staff is friendly when you manage to get a hold of them. Aesthetically, it's not well and I moved into a unit that was not clean nor move-in ready and had to deal with a delay in moving in due to that and a broken AC (broke 3x within 2-3weeks). Was not able to live in my apartment the month of my move-in but instead the next month. Again, although the staff is kind and have good customer service, the structure and organization of it all is not to par. There seems to be a high turn over rate and overall the place seems pretty old. There's a second activity building that looks completely shut down and not maintained. The rent here is great with all its inclusions, and maintenance is pretty swift when not backed up with orders. I've now been here 2-3 months and it's been pretty peaceful so just be aware of you're looking for a cheap place be wary of a rough start but after the move-in transition it gets better. Lastly, the community manager here is nice and professional. She handles her business but she is empathic enough to understand one's situation. Unfortunately, she can be hard to reach sometimes. Edit: I've now been here for almost 4 months and there has been efforts of maintaining the property and clean up. The poop boxes where dog owners dispose their dogs poop is now getting emptied regularly. You can tell the community manager is making an effort with the property and the staff has become easier to talk to. Rome wasn't built in a day... Can't wait to see more positive progress."

"First of all the people in the front office are extremely rude. They walk into the apartment with no notice at all and look at you like your crazy when you complain. My dryer broke and it took maintenance 4 months to fix it. There was also a roach problem because of an old roomate and they took months to fix that as well. I once went to the front office and heard someone else complaining about roaches and the lady was just on her phone not paying attention to him. Never live here. It’s the worst apartment complex ever. I would give 0 stars if I could. I like how they commented on this post saying to make sure that I submit a maintenance request when I submitted multiple requests for the issues above. These issues only scratch the surface of how bad this place is. They are just trying to look better by commenting that."

"Absolutely do not move to these apartments under any circumstances. They add extra charges every month for random things. We moved here in April and paid a yearly electricity fee of $66 per room in July, then in October, they added another yearly electricity fee of $66. You can't communicate with the manager or assistant; when you finally get in touch, they promise to fix things, but nothing changes, and you leave the office with no improvements. The management system is nonexistent, communication is nonexistent, and no one knows what they're doing. I curse this place every day, counting the days until my contract ends. The houses and furniture are very old, constantly breaking, and you have to wait for weeks for repairs. Pay $100 more and move to a better apartment. They have a pool, but it's never open. The gym equipment is never cleaned. We're paying for nothing. If I had read the reviews, I would never have moved here!"

"Please believe the reviews. This place is ALWAYS covered in garbage. It sometimes takes them 3 weeks or more to have the grass mowed. The amenities are not always available. The pool was even closed for almost 3 weeks because “they needed to get their pool license renewed”. They mention this being a gated community but fail to mention all the holes cut in the fence around the complex. When you try to talk to staff about it they say, “Oh I’ll let so and so know” but nothing is ever done about it. The price is great for a 4 bedroom in Gainesville. I just really wish they had a little more pride in their community and kept it clean for their residents. Not all of us like to live like slobs."
