Village at Scull Creek Apartments

I have lived here since it opened and the new manager is one of the nicest, most helpful managers we've had. She goesn out of her way for the safety of the residents.

I lived here for almost 5 years. The last office manager before I moved was a lovely woman. But had no power to fix the problems. We lived above a woman who chain smoked indoors, nonstop, day and night. Our apartment was constantly full of secondhand smoke. Maintenance man and manager both admitted they could smell it, especially in my bathroom. It was bad enough I had chronic bronchitis and my roommate's asthma was always going. There was nothing the apartments complex would do about it. Within weeks of moving out my bronchitis cleared up and my roommates asthma went back to the normal once and awhile flare up. At some point these apartments became section 8 and issues abounded. Drugs, people hanging out that didn't belong there, Family members moving in that weren't on leases. There is one family in particular that managed to get into 3 different apartments. The grandmother had one, her brother had another, and her daughter had a third. The grandkids ran around unsupervised constantly. Screaming, leaving toys and bikes on the walkways, and taking rocks from the flowerbeds and putting them on the sidewalks. The grandmother was a nightmare. She got a dog that repeatedly went after mine. Mine are always leashed, her's would be on the extendable leash, but half the time she just dropped it and let the dog run after mine while she just screamed "ChiChi" at it. I, and each of my roommates, on separate occasions, had to kick the dog to keep it from getting ahold of mine. Repeatedly complained, filed reports, but nothing was done. The grandmother built a 'screened in porch' of sorts on her back patio using terrace and cinder blocks, and would make weird complaints that people were leaving animal crackers out there. When the apartment didn't reek of cigarettes, it smelled of pot from the people next door and the people below them. This place was really nice several years back, set up so people with disabilities could have independence with a support group in house. We were one of a handful of 'market' apartments, meaning we had no government assistance for any disabilities or financial distress. It was a great, inclusive community. But the new owners let it go to hell for profit and we no longer felt safe.
