There are many cockroaches, the trash never gets picked up, and the property management people are not very responsive. Also the mail room is only open for very limited hours, making it difficult to pick up mail if you work a job with normal hours.

Aside from our noisy upstairs neighbor, who plays loud music so late at night with lots of stumping as if they chasing each other, no kids just adults living up there, it is always a pleasure living here. Friendly staff who goes above and beyond to cater to residents needs and maintenance has been doing their best whenever we need things done. Kudos to everyone! And as for our noisy upstairs neighbor, well I heard that they are leaving soon, hopefully we’ll have a new more quiet tenants above us.

My dryer broke down in March but it has not been fixed and nobody has shown up even to even check what’s wrong with it, very disappointed. The people who work in the office are so rude and disrespectful

However, we are now fully staffed and committed to resolving outstanding issues promptly. A member of our team will be reaching out to you shortly to assess and address the problem with your dryer. We appreciate your patience and thank you for giving us the opportunity to make things right. Best Regards, Avana Star Lake Management

Avana star lake has really poor management & communication. They are rude & do not care about residents at all. The pools will also never be open so don’t count on using them ever.

. Building and Property Management: Trained and Respectful Management: Look for management that is responsible, free from criminal backgrounds or active addictions, respects privacy laws, and doesn't intimidate residents. They should maintain well-kept grounds and apply policies fairly to all tenants. Prompt Repairs: A good apartment will have prompt repairs and a regular fumigation schedule. Cleanliness and Upkeep: The apartment should be properly turned over between tenants, with cleaned carpets, repainted walls, and updated appliances. The overall building should look secure and well-maintained.

This apartment complex is so disappointing, I really wish I didn’t have to give it any stars. Maintenance can’t communicate let alone get work orders completed without me either harassing the front office or writing bad reviews. I was even told by the old maintenance employees how bad the mold is for majority of the property but not one professional mold removing company has been seen to resolve the issues around the complex. My last work orders that were minor sat for five months until I got a call about my open ticket, just for the front office employee to not pay attention to which unit they were calling and for what problem, just for the problems I have to not be fully fixed. Highway robbery for what we pay just to live with half working appliances. I hate that I can’t even move out of here yet, because if I could financially afford it I would’ve high tailed it out of here a long time ago.
Property Manager at Avana Star Lake, Responded To This Review
Nicole Ann, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re genuinely sorry to hear about your frustrations and the inconvenience you’ve experienced. We understand how important timely maintenance and clear communication are to your comfort and peace of mind, and we sincerely apologize for falling short of your expectations. We want to assure you that your concerns have not gone unheard. Our team has been in ongoing communication with you regarding your work orders, and we’ve previously shared that our maintenance department is currently short-staffed. This has unfortunately led to delays in response times. We also take health and safety concerns seriously. If there is suspected mold in a unit or common area, we encourage all residents to submit detailed maintenance requests so we can properly inspect and resolve any issues. We’re committed to maintaining a safe living environment and will continue working toward solutions. We do want to kindly remind you that while we absolutely welcome feedback—both positive and negative—respectful communication is essential. Harassing our staff, whether in person, over the phone, or online, is not acceptable and makes it more difficult for us to assist you and others effectively. We truly value you as a resident and want to help improve your experience moving forward. Sincerely, Avana Star Lake Management

Except for some of the neighbors being loud all night this apartment complex isn’t bad at all. I tend to stay to myself as much as possible. My kids love the other kids around here so that’s a plus.

I just moved in on March 28 and am very disappointed with my living experience, which has become quite a headache for me recently. First, the heater in the bedroom is making a loud noise, and the heater in the living room is not working at all, making it difficult for me to sleep. I have submitted my maintenance request multiple times, but the issues remain unresolved. Additionally, the dryer is not functioning; my clothes come out wet even after running it for a couple of hours. The fridge is missing a shelf as well. I emailed the leasing office about my concerns, including a recorded video, but I have not received any response. Second, I have lost my package multiple times, even though I have a camera in use. I cannot have my packages delivered to my door when I'm not home because someone in the neighborhood might steal them. This has never happened to me before in my previous rental experiences. I am very disappointed.
Property Manager at Avana Star Lake, Responded To This Review
Hi Sam C - I'm so sorry you had this experience. I know our maintenance and office staff has been out multiple times to try and fix your heater issues and have had items replaced. If there's anything else you'd like us to know, please don't hesitate to get in touch. If you notice any suspicious activity, please make sure to call the 24/hr security number. Best Regards, Avana Star Lake Management
Not being able to opt out of trash butler, literal trash and dog poop everywhere and 5 shootings in 18 months are not what I expected. The maintenance team is fantastic, the office never answers the phone.

It’s still somewhat an amazing experience living here. Well, except still having the same noisy and annoying upstairs neighbor of ours that makes too much noise really late at night until dawn, with loud music, lots of talking and laughing loud, alot of stomping and noises that seems like they’re wrestling each other, this happens almost every every night specially towards the weekend. Other than that it is a pleasure to be here and would love to stay for a long time.

Overall pretty decent living experience. Had a leak in the ceiling, filed a maintenance report, didn’t hear back for a month, talked to front desk, and the leak was fixed in the next 2 weeks. Saw one roach in apartment, that was scary, but haven’t seen any since ????. Trash likes to get loose around the complex (birds pick at trash, trash sits in dumpster areas for awhile). But our apartment suits our needs and allows us to live in a convenient area so it’s chill

Hi there, your satisfaction is our top priority. We apologize for the maintenance report talking so long, but are glad to hear it got resolved.

I’ve been personally shot at 2x when someone was trying to break into my car and in a span of 8 months, there have been 7 on-site shooting incidents….and those are just the ones I know about. The leasing and resident services team averages a month or more in getting back to you. They are also extremely rude anytime you speak to them. The property manager is rude as well and also does not respond. You can never reach the office by phone. No one ever returns calls or answers submitted concerns from the resident portal, etc. Mail is forwarded to an inconvenient post office. There is always trash everywhere. They also had no helpful things to say when I asked about reporting an insanely loud neighbor. Worst run community I’ve ever seen. The maintenance team however, is amazing! They are great!
Property Manager at Avana Star Lake, Responded To This Review
Hi - we regret to hear that you had this experience. We'll look for ways to do better. We will speak with our team on ways to improve.

If I could give this complex 0 stars I would. Everything was fine when I first moved in, they were very accommodable in the beginning but shortly after very shortly after that changed. My toilet began leaking water along with my sink and I placed a maintenance request which took two months to get looked at then when the toilet kept leaking even after a toilet change I submitted another maintenance request and it wasn't until I left a bad review that they decided to come and take another look then they finally did their job and came to fix the problem. Which was water in my walls. This problem was fixed in the summer time and a month later I am having the same problems, the toilet is leaking AGAIN! This building has had multiple emergency water shut offs for the past few months due to other units having leaking and it still has yet to be fixed. Now my daughter has black mold growing inside of her closet that is starting from the bathroom where there was water in the walls! I have been submitting multiple maintenance requests and making multiple calls and all they could tell me was they have 730 other maintenance requests and they are answered in the order they are received mind you I have a daughter that has a breathing tube and severe asthma and I have mentioned this to them on multiple occasions. I have even asked for a unit transfer and have not heard back about that either. If I were you I wouldn't even try my luck, the price is fine and fits exactly what you are getting

It takes forever to get anything resolved by management. You get put on hold for long period time on the phone and get the run around when talking with staff in person. Been trying to transfer to a new unit for years, was told not able to several times after being told by management it would be ok. Get it together people.

I want to say to others don’t waste your money in this building, you will see the trash everywhere. This is about 5 months that I am living here I didn’t see any one to clean the stairs. Before signing the lease all the staff is acting good after that they even don’t hear you voice and also they kick you out from the leasing office. I am super disappointed that I am living in this property which the leasing office didn’t talk with you as human.
Property Manager at Avana Star Lake, Responded To This Review
Hi - we regret to hear that you had this experience. We have recently acquired a new team for our trash pickup around the property. We are also encouraging residents to throw their trash away rather than dump it around property. As for the leasing office, if a situation escalates to a certain level, we do have protocols we have to take to ensure everyone in the office is safe.
