Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

My experience was great. Staff was amazing and Brooke was so helpful! The apartment was just as beautiful as when I tour the apartment!! Definitely rate these apartments 10/10.

The community itself is pretty and well maintained. The community manager has been helpful and maintenance has responded quickly. The actual apartment itself is okay, not the most updated. I didn’t expect there to be carpet in my home, as there are few photos to reference prior to moving in. There’s an abundance of parking, which is nice.

Property Manager at Varia at Oakcrest, Responded To This Review

So far, Varia at Oakcrest takes the time out to keep all things on the property in working order. I think it is outstanding. The property is clean and well maintained. The trash doesnt pile up out of control like I have seen and experience in other apartment complexes. The biggest thing for me is the gate is always in working order. I used to live at an apartment complex with a gate and it stayed open duevto having issues more than half of the time I lived there

So far so good. I have no complaints with my experience here at Varia at Oakcrest. I had some issues prior to moving in but nothing worth suggesting that it didn't meet my expectations.

The only things that bothered me and neighbors was the lack of communication from you guys and law enforcement about the incidents that have occurred the past few weeks. The arrest that was very engaging in front of our bldg. and the body that was found in the lake. We have many neighbors that walk late at night and all day long. We should be notified? I was also very upset that we had the pressure washing and the scraping and painting during the holidays. I take pride in my decorations, and had to take them down, even when I was expecting visitors. At least I got pictures. They could have waited at least till the New Years (tomorrow). Other wise, I love you guys, you are terrific! I love the activities!

Overall I’ve had a pleasant experience here so far. Maintenance here is by far one of the reason why. I put I request in and it’s completed in a timely manner. My one complaint is the laundry room. The washers work but the dryers don’t, so hopefully they can get that fixed soon. You can tell these apartments are a few years old, but their are upkeep pretty decent.
