Apartment Review for Island Point - Jacksonville, FL

I currently live in this community not too far from the property manager herself who is rude, sarcastic and unprofessional. The poor ratings that this community receives unfortunately are warranted. The apartments do need to be upgraded especially the kitchens. The floors are sunken in, the cabinets have water damage and holes in them. The blinds are awful and match the patch job that the maintenance man did on them. There are no lights in any of my bedrooms that work from a wall mount. I have to use a lamp in each room. This is certainly not worth the over $1,000 that I pay for this unit, monthly. My warning should have been when my unit wasn't ready on move in and the apartment manager had some smart alec comment over the phone, instead of an apology. I may call a code enforcer downtown as somehow this doesn't seem right that prior to move in and signing a contract no one told me that I would not have adequate lighting in my unit. I have never had to use so many lamps in my life. My dishwasher has been out for two months and I haven't heard anything else about it being replaced, which was supposed to be the beginning of the year. It's now February. Today I attempted to jump my other car off and drove over a dirt patch to do it. The property manager had the nerve to ride up behind me and honk her horn at me while scolding me about parking on a dirt patch that she calls grass. The area is covered by trees and debris from trees, grass will NEVER grow there. I felt like telling her that I will get off the dirt when she gives me my dishwasher like I pay may rent in a timely manner, but I had company and my mother would have seen me. About the racist part... I definitely think there is an element of that in the management there as I think back about how I saw this old, bald white guy who wears glasses talking to one of the black maintenance men there. He was totally nasty and I hope that they NEVER send him to my unit for anything. He had redneck written all over him and you could tell that he was disrespecting this young brother just because he thought he could do it and get away with it. When people mistreat their staff, they will usually mistreat customers. Lastly, I have a unit around me with about 12 people living in it. Honest! You can count them as they come out everyday for work. They are noisy, they fight, they dry their clothes on the patio and even have furniture like mattresses on the patio. They look like they are a bunch of illegals and nobody speaks english. I've never seen this manager say anything to these people ever and I wonder if she would ever allow a bunch of black people to pile into an apartment like that. I don't think so!
