Sunburst Apartments 5015 Southwest 9th Street, Des Moines, IA 50315

"Wow this place has roaches I can’t move from Chicago to here I have 4 under the age 10"

"can someone please tell me about here? i’m moving here and I just want to know more about the place is there any bugs?"

"Recently Sun Burst got a new manager. I've lived here since May 1, 2005. This manager has done more to turn this property around in 3 months than any we had before. Both manager and maintenance staff are friendly and courteous. They get to know you by name and take the time needed to address any of your concerns."

"When moving in we were told that there was no bedbug problems and that Jami preferred that we didn't self treat the home. We were told that every 3 months an exterminator would come and take care of the pests. However the exterminators only spray one line in the bathroom and one in the kitchen both in front of the sinks. I have been getting bitten up every night and while it's a nice place the care for the home outside of myself and my two roommates is almost nonexistent. If you do not want to live in a home with cockroaches and bedbugs I suggest looking elsewhere. This problem is one that just two lines of spray will not fix and it is not worth spending $740-$750 a month not including the electric and water bills. Should this apartment not have such an infestation I would give it 4 stars but sadly I can't give it more as I barely get any sleep from being bitten up every night. The pic added was taken as proof. Before the argument of "you could have brought them in with you" begins I want to point out that we had taken the time to treat everything we owned before moving in. We checked every item we owned thoroughly to make sure that we were not the possible cause. We cannot afford to pay to have the entire building treated and we would have to pay out of pocket to get the job done outside of the once every three months."
