"Avoid this place like the plague! It’s owned by some management company that will do every last thing to take money from you. Rent went up $150 in just one year and isn’t affordable as claimed. Very basic amenities, pool was open about half of summer, just general effort put into the complex absolutely does not justify how much they charge for so little. Counting the days until I can move out! Edit: Not to mention that our first year lease had actually expired and no one had told us or notified us, until I went to go talk to the new leasing office lady, the old one left, and she told us it expired a month prior. So we were basically left with no choice but accept the rent increase or move out immediately. They have since acquired yet another leasing office attendant, last year alone."

"After reading the reviews about this place. I see a lot of you are dealing with the same stuff I did! I felt very unwell living there! The place has a very negative vibe to it! We as renters deserve so much better!"

"I have lived here since March and I can tell you this place is not worth the $1623 a month we have to pay to live here. The apartment is pretty basic and there aren't many amenities. A pool that has algea floating in the bottom of it, a small exercise room and covered parking that you have to pay for. This place charges for everything and I do mean everything. We pay for water, trash, sewer, electric, gas, Internet and TV and if you want to move out early they stick you with a $3000 fee. They love to water the asphalt here and charge tenants for all the wasted water and when the plumbing backs up we pay for the water from that too. They charge utilities based on what the entire building uses. Everyone pays their part. It's kind of like a commune. Never seen it done that way. But these people only care about money. It's not cheap to move in here and they do raise the rent a lot. Especially when they do any work at all to the apartments. I would not recommend this place unless you like throwing money away. Cheaper to rent a house. Also we have had three managers since we moved in and getting maintenance when you need them is like pulling teeth. We have had our toilet back up several times and I had to go and buy a toilet snake and now I just fix it myself. Cause I don't want to have to deal with trying to get someone in here to unplug it and it always makes a mess and we get to walk around in fecal matter and urine. This problem I have been told has been an issue for awhile and they haven't done anything that I'm aware of to remedy the problem so we are moving out next month."

"Employee turnover is NOT an excuse to fail to notify tenants of a rent increase. We have been given 13 days notice of the rent increase. This is particularly predatory in a 55+ community. No one cleans the fitness room, they don’t chlorinate or clean the pool, and the new property manager smokes on the property (while tenants receive monthly notices about how smoking is prohibited on property). Please do better."

"I lived here for three years. I do not recommend renting here as long as the current manager Joanna and her assistant Barbara work at the Golden Village Apartments. The owner Mark doesn't care about his apartments enough to want to know what is going on with his management and the residents. He just signs off on anything Joanna wants. Their relationship is interesting. He stops by once a week for updates and has essentially turned his property over to Joanna to run. Joanna has a passive aggressive personality and can make your life miserable. Joanna loves the power she has been given by the owner and she uses it to keep the residents in line. The bad element and constant police presence from the apartment complex next door was always concerning. It is all a shame because the apartments are really nice. I am so happy to be away from this terrible environment. Golden Village needs an owner who cares about their property, a manager who works well with people and an assistant manager who isn't just a lap dog. Review from Nathan Hedman? Mark Hedman is the owner of the Golden Village apartments and Nathan gave a 5 star review. Okay. Nathan is Mark's brother and has never lived at the apartments. He rents an office in the clubhouse. Not exactly a believable review. The complex has recently had worked done and now the person doing the work has made a five star review. Interesting and desperate."
