Apartment Review for Old Farm Shores - Grand Rapids, MI

I can't believe the price we're paying for this place. We have a patio door that leaks all over the carpet whenever it rains. The place was never completely professionally cleaned or vaccuumed. There is tobacco or a tar-like substance that runs down the walls in the bathroom whenever it's humid in there after a shower. The cupboards are topped with a disgusting amount of cat hair (which my husband is allergic to) that was never cleaned up and now is melded to the tar underneath. The laminate flooring is cut up and coming away from the baseboard in the kitchen. We had to build our own shelves in the pantry. You don't even get a spot in the carport included in the rent. Parking is not always adequate. The locks on the doors are only deadbolts, not with additional keylocks. Within the first 2 months of living here, someone even tried to steal cash out of one of our vehicles. There are frequent brownouts and the surges completely zapped two of our computers. The lighting is totally inadequate and oddly placed. We thought we would be safe here and it would be much cleaner than this for the price we pay. On top of this all, we continue to get petty random bills for services that are supposed to be included with our rent. We are so disappointed and would not recommend these apartments.
