Rockwood Manor Apartments

I've been here for almost 2 yrs and have been mostly happy here although there were problems when I first moved in. You can't beat the place for the rent especially if you are an outdoors person since there's a lot of nice grounds with walkways and bar-b-ques that are always available even in winter. You can even walk into the woods that pretty much surround us except for the frontage. I enjoy the birds that come to the feeders in the various locations and even the squirrels running all over the place. Their gardening lot is always re-plowed every spring for us. I did have a problem with a switch that I thought took longer to repair shortly after I moved in but it was not that important and my dishwasher kept leaking until finally fixed. I have not heard people complaining about maintenance lately and I was told all of the apartments have been refurbished now. People may complain, but even when they move you never hear anyone say they are going to another apartment complex here. People here are mostly nice and friendly. One thing is that it's not for children or wild young people. I'm staying here. Pros: Rent is reasonable, apts are good quality, very good grounds Cons: older buildings, washers and dryers on 2nd floor more

The following review is my interpretation as a tenant for almost a year. My home at Rockwood Manor Apartments has been less than great. I have developed mixed feeling for this place especially in the past two months. The remainder of this review will address pertinent items I've noted for this location. The grounds here are somewhat well kept. Things are well decorated and there is a nice seasonal tone throughout the year. There are problems however with grass clipping not being cleaned off pathways for days. In the winter, cars are snowed in by amateur plowing. Sometimes the occasional tenant will take snow blocking their car and place it in front of yours which is very courteous. For the most part people keep to themselves, which is not a bad thing. Many tenants will say hello in passing and some others are even willing to chat for a while. I've never had anyone act or speak in a rude manor. The carpeting is not stain resistant. Not sure why they would say on their web site that the carpet is protected. I have several stains that I have attempted to cleanup that are impossible. Also, I have noticed in passing that some apartments are in better condition than others; i.e. hardwood floors, newer appliance, better cabinetry and wood work. My last item is that the maintenance department here is terrible. Be prepared for several trips to resolve issues not to mention being automatically treated like a moron the moment you call with a problem. Do not expect to get treated with any decency when contacting the repair people at these grounds. To summarize, if you are looking for a reasonable priced apartment with many inclusions, and can deal with the bologna at is the place than maybe it is for you. Some positive changes could really help bring things up. Unfortunately I am starting to think more and more that this place may not be for me. Pros: The grounds are beautiful and things are decorated to be seasonal. The people are very nice. Cons: Maintenance is terrible. Don't count on getting things fixed first hand. Ceilings are thin. more
