Southern Elms

This property has character. I like that the rent price includes all the utility bills. It is on the top places on my list.

Beware!!! This place is not all bills paid as they claim to be. The price you see listed is not the price you will pay.They add on 150-200$ depending on the sixe of your unit per month for bills. The place is falling apart and they are not wanting to put money into it at all. Don't move here!!!! You will regret it.

If I could give this place no stars I would but I had to choose a star to be able to write this. The first thing to know about this place is that it is not exactly all bills paid as they claim. The price you see listed does not include utilites. You will be charged an extra 150-200 depending on the size of your unit. If you need to pay your rent online because say you have a busy life or like most of the world these days you are just accustomed to paying with a card you will be charged an additional 30$ for each month of rent you pay. Even if you pay months in advance you are still charged the 30$ for each month in advanced you pay. The covered parking cost 25$ a month and if you come home to someone in your spot after office hoursgood luck getting them out of your spot. The pool is still not open and is sitting drained with rain water in the bottom breeding mosquitos that are the size of crickets. The entire property is covered with landscaping rocks too so they breed in them as well. The stairs are falling apart, they had a women fall and break her leg a while back. When it rains it floods so you will want to make sure you have flood insurance. The A/C and heat are all on a chiller boiler system. You have to wait until its too hot to stand it until they will switch it from the heat. In my unit as well as 10 others as I was told by maintenance the A/C pours water from the ceiling and floods the hallway. In other units it is coming down in the bathroom and Kitchen ceiling. It is so much water we have a tote to catch it and have to dump it multiple times a day. The wood flooring isn't wood its just stick down flooring that kinda looks like wood flooring. The gas stove in my unit is from the early 1980s at most and puts off enough heat constantly that if you were to sit anything plastic on the back burner even if the oven isn't on it will melt it. They claim to be smoke free but that's not true either, my neighbor smokes inside and well it comes in our place too.

The manager changes 6 times a year, went a couple months without maintenance workers (right now there is only one) pool usually goes uncleaned & full all winter & at the end of the year it is completely black. It is now after memorial day and the pool is half covered. The water is black & full of moss, smells like a swamp & things are living inside of it. The mosquitos that breed in it bite you as you walk past. Im glad im moving out soon, as i cannot stand this smelly mess every year.
