This apartment complex has very bad reviews under it's old name. (Which is why I believe they changed the name.) You can see them if you google ""whispering winds, west lafayette reviews.""
I lived at Whispering Winds from 2009-2010. This was a nightmare. To begin with, the day after I moved in, my bathroom ceiling caved in. The bathroom had a leak that was ignored for some time, and wasn't taken care of upon inspection before I moved in. I called the leak in the day I moved in, and no one came. That night the entire ceiling fell in, and moldy drywall covered all of my things. Even after the cave in, NO ONE CAME TO LOOK AT IT/FIX IT. I called numerous times. No one came. I had to move back into my parents house for a few days until it was fixed. (I posted a picture on one of the reviews if you google whispering winds.)
I keep my apartment very clean, but had to deal with cockroaches on basically a daily basis while living there. They are taking over the complex. It got so bad, I couldn't sleep or eat there. They are in all my cabinets. I told management about it, and one manager told me ""I am from the south and this is a part of life. You'll have to go buy some bug spray."" I MEAN COME ON! When I called to talk to them about it, they hung up on me twice. When I went in to talk to a manager, 3 hours before they closed, they told me they don't have time for me. They seriously REFUSED to talk tot me. This problem was NEVER fixed. I am moving out this week, and still finding roaches in all my stuff.
The mice in the winter were just as bad as the roaches. I told management about that, and they said a squirrel might be in the wall. It was never addressed after that. The mice were so loud in my walls, they kept me awake at night.
Management is SO hard to deal with. They have NO COMMON SENSE. My lease states it ends on 7/25 at midnight. They told me I have to be out at the end of the day on 7/24, and if I'm not I owe them two months rent. They are ridiculous. They lie. They don't fix maintenance requests, EVEN IF YOUR CEILING CAVES IN.
This place is UNLIVABLE. Its a horrible environment. I haven't even told you about the crime rate, and how unsafe it is, but really I don't think I have to. With everything you know now, I HOPE you don't rent from these liars. They are running a crooked business. They don't deserve your money. After all, you will be paying for an apartment you can't live in.
Cons: Cockroaches, Leaky Ceilings, Horrible Management, Mice
