Barton Farms

After new management took over, there are hidden fees tacked onto EVERYTHING. We are in the process of moving out (not for the reasons listed, but it’s feeling more and more like that is why), and they have made the move out process almost impossible. Legal documents have so many inconsistencies on what needs to be taken care of and even with emails and phone calls, their responses have (ironically) been consistent with excuses. One individual told my husband that we were good to go and could just pay the termination fee - we had no issue paying a fee as we have moved before our lease. Low and behold when we signed paperwork to finalize, we were told that we were “misinformed” and that it would be two months rent + a termination fee. When expressing our frustration we were told that there isn’t anything to be done and that the first person we talked to “must not have known.” Poor management and inconsistent rules. The parking situation SUCKS. If my husband and I are both paying rent, we should both be able to park in front of our building. Neither one of us should be shunned to the guest lot. However, tenets in our building have been parking multiple cars without repercussions, yet we received a warning (3 and you’re out) for parking overnight. Aesthetically with the new painting it looks updated and cute, but don’t waste your money.

New Management keeps raising rent and tacking on multiple hidden fees. It wouldn't bother me as much if they would do something to improve the apartments or parking situation. All these fees seem to just go to the new management's pocket. Can't wait to leave.

Hidden fees and sub-par quality. Terrible parking policy and vandalism to multiple vehicles since we moved in. Do not recommend.

This was a terrific place to live until new management took over. They immediately raised rent saying we have to pay water and sewer with rent now. Also, they say that we have to start placing trash outside our doors in a designated container, which will be mandatory upon renewal of lease. Some of my neighbors already leave their trash outside their door and not only does it block the pathway, it also attracts pests. Additionally, our pool has been closed down. They say it is due to covid delta variant, but my guess it’s because they are painting the exterior of the apartments and want to save money on maintenance of the pool. Finally, maintenance used to be responsive and prompt before the takeover, now, who knows when they will come repair your request.

New company took over and got rid of old management. They told me that they’re doing you a favor by only charging $75 extra a month for rent even though your apartment isn’t as updated as others in your building. Also switched new management within less than a week of a note being posted at my door. Lived here for two years under old management and it was great. Would’ve renewed again if it wasnt bought out by a terrible company.

I was blessed to have called Barton Farms my home for 12 years! If you are looking for a new place to call home, I highly recommend Barton Farms (if I didn’t believe that I wouldn’t be writing this review). The office staff (agents, maintenance, & manager) are very nice & respectful. Maintenance requests are taken care of quickly. The walls between apartments are pretty sound proof (they are not paper thin by any means). -There are plenty of nice trails nearby. -It is within walking distance of the park/Greenwood pool. -About a 10 minute drive to the interstate. -Short driving distance to a variety of stores on 31 & 135. -Low turnover rate!! Overall, 5 star place!

The apartment is clean, no damage to anything and everything in working order. One Sunday we woke up to squishy bath mat under our feet in the bathroom. Checked around and found that the water heater on the other side of the wall was leaking. We called the emergency phone number and there was someone at the apartment in 15 minutes to access the situation. The maintenance man quickly got the necessary parts to fix the problem. Before we knew it, there was a company at our apartment door to suck up all the water in the carpet and put a huge commercial fan in the area to dry up all the dampness so it would dry out quickly. Freaky fast repairs....Thank you Barton Farms!
