Slums might be strong word

If your looking for a place to live where the dog waste cans are usually overflowing, this is your home. If your looking for a place to live where storms damage the building and it takes more than 6 months to fix (still waiting), this is your home. If your looking for a place to live where you can rarely speak to an onsite manager because they quit frequently, this is your home. If your looking for a place to live where children run rampant without supervision destroying the property, this is your home. If your looking for a place to live where the amenities they post are not necessary therefore not maintained or opened (pool) at any astounding pace, this is your home. If your looking for a place to live where you can apparently run a daycare from your townhome, this is your home. If your looking for a place to live where you would like to wait extended periods of time for any maintenance request to be filled because of no onsite or fulltime maintenance staff, this is your home. If your looking for a place to live where you can apparently have marijuana plants growing around the building, this is your home. If your looking for a place to live where you can ice skate down the streets weeks after icy weather, thisbis your home.

Improvements

There has been some recent energy to improve many things that were neglected by the previous owner. Things take time. These are nice townhomes with great features. I hope the new focus continues.

Maplewood is owned by another management company now.

Just wanted to let any prospective renters know that Signature no longer owns Maplewood. Its currently owned by Sierra, based out of Illinois. This was an awesome place to live until they took over. No move in specials, no official management onsite, questionable maintenance... keep looking.

Love It!

These places are beautiful! I have lived in a few different rental situations but this is easily my favorite. It is all brand new. Everything seems to be built nicely. My favorite part is the kitchen (even though I hardly cook!) Everything is so bright and open. I'm not really a pool or party person, so I haven't used much amenities. The gym is adequate for me and my work out buddy to use together. So far everyone I've met here has seemed pretty nice. I really like it here.

Awful customer service

I've lived in many apartments in my life. Some better than others. But none have been as fee-ridden or complicated as maplewood. To start, there is a young staff with a terrible attitude. Zero ability to accommodate and no customer service skills. There is no better illustration of this than on move in day. There were surprise last minute fees, and instead of doing an addendum (because that would have taken 10 minutes instead of 5) the manager re did the lease entirely. All the information entered, from financial to signatures, needed to be redone. She made it obvious that she didn't care that we didn't have credit card info on us and would have to go back to the prior home to get it again. No empathy, no apologies. There is also a lot of construction, and the building is incredibly noisy from the street. Pretty building, but not worth the extra hassle. If I could do it again, I would rent elsewhere.
