The Forum

"The Good- The women upfront were always helpful, and the sunsets were always breath taking from my balcony. The Bad- For the second year I was there I had a cockroach infestation galore, my toilet screamed like a banshee for almost 6 months before it was fixed, the indoor pool they promoted was closed for the majority of the time I lived there. I had loud college kids above me who would play loud music until 3am and would stomp around loudly. I had a spot on the ceiling in the living room area that looked like the ceiling was going to cave in at any moment. Trash in the hallways often. I paid $805 for a 2 bed room, if they had lowered it to $508 I'd say that would have been a very fair trade. Also make you give a 60 day notice of moving out instead of 30 day notice. This is unheard of in any other place I've looked at in the past."

"Since Village Green took over the property everything has improved! There will be the transition period where they need to fix everything that CMC never took care of, but they are working diligently. The elevators break down, but that is the reason they are being replaced. There was bugs and such, just like all apartments in Clifton. However since VG took over biweekly treatments have started and I stopped seeing any evidence of bugs for my apartment. The water issues have been getting repaired. I lived at the Forum for a year and half and was very impressed with the repairs and changes to improve the property. I would have liked to see everything after it was all fixed up. The property is improving and I have no doubt when VG has completed all the repairs and improvements this will be an amazing place to live! I'd recommend getting in before everything gets done to see the drastic improvements!"

"I rented at this apartment complex (the East building) from July 2018 - July 2019. The day we moved in we reported several things that needed fixed/ put in and it took several trips down to the office and several reports through the online maintenance service to actually get what needed done, done. Everyone at the office has been extremely nice, but inconsistent. You could get one answer from someone and turn around and get a completely different one from someone else. We had a huge roach problem and we had asked to have the exterminator come. We were told they would come and we would make sure we were there and no one ever came. Most of the time when we told someone they would just write the apartment number down on a sheet of paper and told us the day they would come. I eventually stopped reporting it to them and tried to take care of it myself. There were trash bags everywhere and no way to regulate if people actually took them to the dumpster which probably contributed to the issue of the roaches. There were several notes posted but no action as I know was taken to make sure no one just threw their trash in the stairwells/ laundry room. I have heard the other apartment buildings they have there are better but to my experience, it was just dirty. My car was also broken into here, December 2018, in the parking lot by the dumpster so I made it a point to make sure I didn’t park in that lot again, which very much limited where I could park. It is honestly not worth the price when there are cheaper better complexes just a little further away from downtown."

"I have been living here since May and have really enjoyed it. WESLEY (one of their maintenance staff) is the BEST! He came in and was able to fix things that the other staff could not in a matter of minutes. He even took on work orders that had not been filled for months! He got them done in a day! With him on staff, I am certain that any issue I have in the future will be handled quickly and thoroughly. I will definitely be requesting him moving forward for any work orders or repairs needed. The apartments are super dog friendly and my floor is very quiet. Everyone seems really friendly and my apartment is very comfortable with a great view. My dog and I both love it here so far."
