Calypso Apartments

3.7(150)✓ Google-verified

Calypso earns strong reviews largely on the strength of manager Abigail, who reviewers credit with going well beyond standard service: flexible approvals, holiday access, unit upgrades, and genuine availability. Maintenance technician Dillon also gets named praise for quick response. The grounds stay clean and the pool well-maintained, with residents calling it safe and quiet. However, scattered one-star reviews flag serious issues: roach infestations despite ongoing pest charges, surprise line items on bills, an open parking lot vulnerable to break-ins, and management churn. The 54% five-star to 29% one/two-star split suggests a polarized experience, possibly tied to how individual tenants land with the office team or which repairs fall on them.

Hidden Meadow Apartments

3.4(76)✓ Google-verified

Hidden Meadow offers cheap rent and a responsive manager, but residents split sharply on whether the trade-offs are worth it. Tenants report recurring pest problems even in clean units, inconsistent noise enforcement, unpaved streets, and occasional mailbox theft. Long-term residents stay for affordability; new arrivals often discover the property suits temporary stays better than permanent homes.

Mission at Medical Apartments

3.2(214)✓ Google-verifiedPublishes prices

New management has won praise from recent arrivals for friendliness and responsiveness, with staff like Destiny, Vanessa, and Gabriella singled out for exceptional help during move-ins and ongoing support. However, older residents report years of unresolved infrastructure failures: hot water outages lasting months, water shutoffs, non-working A/C units, mold, and incomplete maintenance jobs that force tenants to wash dishes in bathroom sinks or heat water on stoves. These complaints span years and predate the current team. The $99 move-in special draws criticism as a bait-and-switch: reviewers describe paying $101 upfront for an application, facing rejection within minutes, and losing the fee with no recourse. Those approved still encounter sudden additional fees of $200 to $500. Long-time residents cite safety lapses, vehicle theft, bullet holes in buildings, and drug activity, though newer reviews suggest conditions are stabilizing under new ownership. The business faces a credibility gap between its amenity list (24-hour gym, pools) and actual availability.
