Walden of Westchase

"I’m going on 4 months of living here, when I first came to do the tour the service was great! I had an issue with my food disposal so I put in a maintenance order and not even an hour later maintenance man came and fixed the issue! How freaking amazing is that! I can trust my Amazon packages in front of my door with no problem and the apartments are old but VERY well kept it’s peaceful for the most part I feel safe coming home late I love how kids play outside and how the neighbors know each other everyone greets one another."

"If you keep reading the reviews. It's true about the $200 scam. They don't refund the deposit. I call and no one knows or can give any information. They write down your contact info and never get back to you. They also never follow up on emails."

"This place is a hidden gem, quiet, The management is awesome! skilled and friendly maintenance staff, prompt on work orders. I love it here!"

"Beware the ludicrous $200 application fee scam. I applied to see if I could qualify given my employment status and paid a fee. I never saw a unit. Never set foot on the property. Given the widely varying standards for acceptance from apt to apt, I decided to take my chances and applied to a few places, all of which I received the application fee back after not moving forward with the process EXCEPT Walden. It’s been more than two months, and a third call, and for the first time I’m being told that they kept the $200 because they held a unit for me pending proof of income. I had none at the time and told them that. She maintains I was going to bring documents in and because they held a unit I had never seen, do not know if I would have liked, and did not have proof of income (just money in the bank) they claim they are justified in keeping my $200. I paid $50 application fees at two other places and when I decided not to take the units after looking at them and talking in person with the leasing agents, those places still returned my application fee. Why would anyone bind themselves to a unit they had never seen? Why does Walden think that just because someone is applying that they are going to move in — and why would they ‘hold a unit off market’ for someone who has not completed the full process to be approved. I never asked them to hold a unit and until today never heard of them doing it. This is quite the scam, too bad because it may be a lovely place — I don’t know because I never went beyond the website to check it out. For that, I’m out $200. Perhaps “it is a change of soul that is needed (at Walden apt).” HDT"

"I renewed my lease this past May because of how much I love living here. Everyone that I have come over as a guest falls in love with the environment here. I see a lot of reviews here that mention a roach issue. In my experience, I have not had any issues with roaches. Of course, I dont know how clean people are on here, but if you dont leave anything for the roaches to eat, then you shouldnt have an issue. If you're a clean person, non of this will be an issue. I also think its very important to mention that the managment has pest control come over pretty frequently, even when I dont ask for it."
