Chestnut Place Apartments

Chestnut Place Apartments is a lovely place and a fantastic deal for the price. The Property manager, Liz, is constantly working hard to keep her residents happy and always with a big smile on her face. The grounds have shown a noted improvement and she is making an effort to get to know everyone personally. I have nothing but good things to say about this place.

This place was privately run and managed when I moved in less than a year ago. Now it is corporate run (the owner hired a «management company» a few months after I moved here) and it has gone downhill in just a few months! My dishwasher broke and it is being replaced by the worst piece of crap on the market! I have spoken with the previous maintenance person who still works for the owners and he stated that they used to use good brands. He was not happy about the fact that the appliances are being replaced with crap. I and others here have had multiple problems with maintenance and other things since Bluestone & Hockley took over.
That said: This is still (for now) a nice quiet place and the apts are pretty big (I have a furnace and AC!) but if you don’t like corporate BS in an apt. look elsewhere. Its too bad because I’ve lived in this area a long time and this place always had a good rep.. .. until now.

Only move here if you want to be walking on broken glass the whole time!!! Its a nice complex with timely maintenance. Their ONLY pros. HOWEVER, don’t the let the nice landscaping fool you!
If you have kids, DEFINITELY DO NOT move here! They don’t want them playing on the grass or anywhere but an old, fenced tennis court. They don’t want toys out or any sign of kids. Their regular landscaper guy scolded my 4 year old for leaving a rock in the grass, right in front of me. Really?!!
If you violate ANY nit picky rule, you’ll be left feeling bullied.
Beware! Their late fees are high at $ 100, even if you pay it the day after its due!
If you have a guest stay more than 14 days in a year’s period, they will start marking your tires and prying into your private life to find out who they are, etc., etc. They even have residents who «spy» and tell on you (that’s what 5 years olds do!). Your left feeling like you can’t even live peacefully or have visitors for that matter.
And the manager tells you one thing is okay, then you get a written notice on your door from the owner giving you an ultimatum. Your left shaking your head and wondering why you weren’t told that in the first place!
Again, nicely landscaped (that’s all they care about), great location… but unless you want to feel guilty, spied on, and walking on broken glass the whole time I would advise looking elsewhere. These places are not worth the rent (2×1 for $ 820/​mo plus a $ 25/​mo washer/​dryer fee, plus a $ 750 deposit) and there are way nicer places nearby.
