Oak Creek at Polaris

The lady that works there… very racist. Although, racial comments were not exchanged, she shows it with her attitude – I compare her attitude to white people that enter after or before me.
They will probably not give your rent deposit back even if it is wear-​n-​tear. The windows have broken rusted metal springs that tear up the blinds. They WILL NOT/​CANNOT change the windows. They just say it’s just old types, but that doesn’t fix the blinds being torn up all the time. Moreover, they will charge $ 20 for each blind when they only cost about $ 5 at Lowes. Tied to this is a furnace/​AC. It requires a rare size filter that you cannot find anywhere. Beware that if your filter breaks, it’s your fault… but if you can’t get the proper fitment and the company can’t supply them, then you’re screwed either way.
The maintenance is so-so…after the new company took over, the first few weeks were ok as they found so much to fix, but later on they don’t follow-​up. They won’t plow the snow or salt the roads… maybe like 1 – 2 times a winter season…
The parking lot towards the back is a little unsafe. People speed down the back way and some outsiders know it as a vacant area where they can park their cars for weeks at a time, bring bar fights and meet up there, some punk kids smoking weed near the area before the train tracks, highschoolers/​college kids having car s3x, car break-​ins/​theft, some Latinos digging through the dumpsters for aluminum cans and paperwork?, and dumpster divers galore…
I really don’t think this is a place to be. Look at the REAL reviews. I think all of the goods ones were done by property managers or even the Operator, as she is called… terrible title.
I could go on about the poor managing and customer service, but the above statement should be enough for you…
btw, I am fighting off for my deposit back as I have video footage before and after, as well as e-​mails to prove it. Piece of cake… we’ll see how they react… and to think they are charging me when they don’t know of the condition of the apartment before I moved it… Get your facts straight before you start deducting from deposit – New companies that buy these complexes have no clue and just assume that you broke it… then they charge
I’m surprised the «operator» still works there will all the complaints. I’m even more surprised that the company has let her stay. she’ll ruin the ratings and ultimately business…
The good parts to be fair:
1. Inexpensive, but you get what you pay for…
2. Garage space is nice to have…
3. Easy access to Polaris, Giant Eagle, Krogers, Lowes, Home Depot, fast food, highway (71, 23, 270, 315)
4. Somewhat quiet and safe.
5. Olentangy School district – Oak Creek Elementary is rated very high!
