Larkin Apartment Homes
Split between genuine appreciation for certain staff and frustration with systemic problems. Multiple residents praise leasing agent Cynthia, property manager Michele Greenwald, and maintenance staff like Roderick and Al for personable service and quick problem-solving. Yet a larger block of residents report the complex as infested with roaches, unresponsive to repair requests that drag on for months, and plagued by management communication failures and office unavailability. New residents give five-star ratings; longer-term residents describe deteriorating conditions and broken promises. Security deposit refunds stall beyond stated timelines. Pest control is reportedly paid for but never executed. Outdoor areas smell of marijuana. Pet owners note uncleaned dog waste on walkways. The complex charges full replacement fees (one review cited $1,400 for floor damage) even for minor wear. One resident experienced a fatal shooting on the property. While unit renovations are noted as attractive, the gap between the tour experience and day-to-day living emerges as the central complaint.
