Park Meadows Apartments

I have lived here for about 3yrs now but still am not surprised about how awful this place is. They care more about raising rent each couple months and re furnishings there office and club house so it looks like a great place to live but we all know it’s not. updating important appliances such as a heater from 1978. Literally from 1978 isn’t on top of the list though. Besides those problems each building has mold everywhere, water damage, and if you ever live on the 3^rd floor expect your electricity bill to be high into the 200’s because guess what no insulation in the ceilings. There has been a couple times we have contacted the city of Manchester and the fire department because the disgust of mold and safety hazards. One of the maintenance guys told me a neighbors ceiling collapsed above his bed a couple week ago. Probably due to water damage. The property managers are fake and couldn’t give two ishs about what’s going on. Parking is terrible, and so is the on site laundry rooms. Please don’t live here unless you absolute have to. Sincerely the idiot who still lives here…

We rented a 2-​bedroom townhouse, which seems like it may have had fewer issues than the regular (garden style, I think?) apartments. However, it felt like we were throwing away so much money every month. We paid $ 1,100/month by the end of our stay there, and I’m not entirely sure why. The buildings are old and cheaply fabricated, things are poorly put together/​fastened and it was always difficult to get maintenance out to fix anything. It always felt like the place was going to start falling apart. When my husband would walk in room above me, the creaking floor was the loudest I’ve heard anywhere, even in older houses with creaky hardwood floors. There were no baseboards in the living room, which I suppose was a shortcut for them so they didn’t have to mess with it when someone moved out and the carpet had to be replaced. There was actually a hole in the living room floor where you could see light from the basement, and things would fall through the hole to be found later in the unfinished part of the basement. The biggest issue we had there was the water damage in our bedroom. There was a leak in the roof, which led to a lot of water seeping in through the wall. It must have eventually grown mold, because my husband, myself and our two cats were all experiencing cold symptoms ALL THE TIME. Sneezing, coughing, headaches, severe congestion, trouble sleeping. I called no fewer than a dozen times to ask someone to please come out and do something about it. I said I was pretty sure there was mold and that we all felt sick constantly. Every time I would call, the person answering the phone would act as though it was the first time I had called. «Oh, well THAT’S no good! Goodness, I had no idea»…that type of response. It felt impossible, so we just decided that we would move as soon as our lease was up.
I’m hesitant to give 1 star because we really did have some good times there and I just hate giving businesses a 1-​star review. I always feel like I’m being dismissive or basing my opinion on something more emotional than rational. I just can’t give them 2, though. Between the poor quality of the actual apartment, the revolving sea of faces that passed for management at the leasing office, the string of AWFUL neighbors we had to endure and the high price tag, I feel that 1 star is actually fair. I could go on and on about the things that bothered us about living here. We actually just moved out 10 days ago and our lease was officially up 2 days ago. We have yet to find out how much of our deposit we’re getting back. Aside from normal wear and tear, and the things that are broken because they were never built/​put together correctly in the first place, we took really good care of the place, and left it cleaner than it was when we moved in. But I have zero faith that they will be fair about our deposit. I’m considering it $ 1275 lost.
Update: we did wind up getting most of our deposit back, and they didn’t even take forever to get it to us. I’m very pleasantly surprised.

Not at all inexpensive, but not at ALL nice either. The apartments themselves are awful… the residents are worse still. Mark my words: I would live in the street before I would rent from this place again.

Do not live here. How I endured one day here is beyond me. The staff is awful, rude, and unhelpful. The buildings are old and unkept. The show apartment is beautiful but the one you move into is atrocious. I had bugs in the kitchen, the roof is literally caving in. My neighbors roof FELL IN ON THEM and all of their things. Go anywhere, literally ANYWHERE, but here. Absolute ripoff.

The apartment that they show you is wonderful. but then when you get to your actual apartment is a s**** hole. I had to vaccum several times to get all of the dog hair from the previous owner out of the carpet, my air conditioner was broke, ALL of the equipment in the work out room is broken, the club house is only open from 8 – 6 m-​F. There isnt anywhere for kids to play and the landscaping is going downhill fast! The halways are ALWAYS a disaster and the people that live there leave their shoes all over the place. I really wish I hadn’t sign a year lease.
