Date posted: 2/3/2007I'd probably love these apartments if I were the first and ONLY tenant in the unit. Unfortunately, that is not the case. What you don't find out about these apartments until after you've signed your lease is that they are extremely cheaply built. There is little or no insulation between the upstairs- and downstairs-units, so you hear every little bit of noise from your neighbors. And not just partying noise, but, and because the apartments are so cheaply made, you hear your neighbors going to the bathroom---not just flushing, but actually GOING...YUCK!!!!!---you hear every foot step they make, you hear every shower they take, you hear every pipe rattling. And you really hear your neighbors come and go if you live on the first floor, because the staircase that your neighbors take to their place upstairs runs right through a closet that's in your apartment. You hear it all (and don't even get me started on OUR toilet that just runs and runs and runs). And if that's not enough, your neighbor's front door light shines right in your bedroom window. You have no control over it, so the light shines in all night long. Nor do you have any control over the door slamming into your bedroom wall as they come and go through their front door.
Still interested in this apartment? Then let me tell you about the dish washer. It's the only oneI've ever seen where the dishes go in cleaner than they come out. No, really. After the "dish washer" is finished, you'll find a mysterious layer of specks and crumbs on the glasses in the top rack, and still-dirty utensils in the bottom. As a test, we washed by hand a bunch of glasses, cups, bowls and plates, and loaded the spotlessly clean dishes in the dishwasher and ran them through the wash cycle. When we opened the door, we found that strange coating of crumbly specks on everything. Weird. And management isn't willing to do anything about any of this. So, if you are still interested in moving into Scioto Crossing Apartments, be sure to bring your ear plugs, eye masks, and a large, econo size bottle of Dawn since you'll be doing a lot of dishes by hand.
YUCK!!!!
Here's the dirt that was wiped off a load of dishes after the dish washer is done "cleaning." If you want to live at Scioto Crossings Apartments, get ready to wash your dishes by hand in the sink!

MOVE HERE IF YOU LOVE HEADACHES! If you like migraine headaches and thin walls where you can hear ALL the extra curricular activities of the people ALL around you then this apartment is for you. Noise 24/7 you hear everything you will hear the microwaves, washer/dryers running, water pipes clanging, phonesringing along with screaming kids and the adults who scream back at them. When you hear doors closing in other apartments it's really freaky. To increase your reality experience you will get a special serenade from the people who bang on the walls as if the other noises aren't enough and the want-to-be musicians playing their amplified guitars to all hours of the night calling the police doesn t really work but we tried. What would screeching music be without the nasty stale smell of curry and the never-ending smell of Chinese take-out? Now we finally understand why so many people moved out in the middle of the night! But some might say we're just too picky to want peace, quiet, not to hear the sounds of war planes flying over and not to have our clothes smell like nasty take-out since the smell is mostly coming through the bedroom closet. Well perhaps these are things you can live with if you don't ever need to sleep and breathe fresh air inside your apartment. Managers are do-nothing airheads with cheesy grins—positive reviews are done by management. DEFINITELY OVER PRICED!
From: buckeyegal04Date posted: 2/14/2007I wish i had seen this site before I'd rented here. It is a noisy place and i don't like having to hear my neigbors when they walk around their place upstairs. Also, I hear water dripping thru the pipes. My lease is up really soon so I am not renewing. They look nice but thats about all.
From: stillcagedbirdDate posted: 2/15/2007I moved into these apartments and they seemed nice but then I stayed here for 24 hours and realized that I just signed my life away for 12 months. I now know why these people do not offer a 6 month lease. It is because they are to busy trying to get people to live here and get money for these poorly built apartments before they crumple and collapse to the ground. The neighbors make so much noise and you can even smell them cooking. I feel like I am living above an asian restaurante in New York. It is so crazy the smell is so bad that it has started to mess with my allergies because I am allergic to road kill and that is exactly what I think my neighbors are cooking. I can hear my neighbors take a S H I T in the bathroom and flush the toilet. I can even here a little kid in the bathroom telling their parents they don't want to take a bath and I am all the way on the other side of by bedroom. It is extremely crazy. If the sounds in the apaprtment don't get you going crazy then perhaps the maintenance person blasting the music in their car all around the property should do the trick. That and since the walls are so thin you can here all of the car doors slamming that will wake you up bright and early even if you are a morning riser. My closet is my very own personal meat locker they never told me that the closet gets just cold enough that you can store meats and any other food that you might store in the refrigerator. Perhaps they should add this as a benefit for living here. Sometimes I can even see my breath when I go to get clothes. I HAVE CALLED THE COPS ON THE NEIGHBORS SEVERAL TIMES FOR NOISE AND TOLD THE MANAGER BUT THEY DID NOTHING TO HANDLE THE PROBLEM.

SPRING: flying bugs appear inside-- some look like fruit flies but since I don't eat fruit this is a mystery. Dog poop runneth over-watch where you step whether it's the sidewalk or the grass--bags of poop are never cleaned up. Cow dung in the mulch brings flies a plenty, wierd fungi growing in the mulch and the smell invades your apartment if you're on the first floor. Lawn mowers run from 9-6 but at the end tof the shift the grass isn't cut--then the blowers start and you too can have the front end of your car full of grass.
SUMMER: Unheated pool sucks-so why am I paying to use it when it's too cold to get in on most days and for the community car wash-you know community water bill so you'll be paying for all the water I use and that everyone else uses to wash their cars, their friends cars, and the high school kids that don't live here and just because its summer don't ever think the water in the pond will stop flowing--non-stop during snow, sleet and ice-so pay up! Don't believe me-take a tour-drive buy to see the ice sculpture shooting up from the ground today! Next, they'll advertise it's a new attraction and PARKING IS FREE!!!
FALL: wind whistles straight through the cracks around the windows. The sinks began to get rust on them. TWierd white dust fall into the drawers. The spout in the tub fell off and the toilets began backing up. Since these are supposedly NEW buildings should I be seeing fracture cracks in the walls and in the ceilings along with these other signs of shoddy construction--so I guess you can say Fall is when you start seeing how EVERYHTING IS FALLING APART!
WINTER: NO SNOW REMOVAL!!!! VERY UNSAFE FOR DRIVERS AND KIDS WALKING TO BUS STOP. Come and see the sidewalks are still completely covered. It took 3 days before the drive-ways were done yet the spaces in front of the manager's apartment, maintenance guys apartment and the rental office were done immediately--guess who they look out for? The b i t c h in the office is a liar who always promises things will get done then she blames the maintenance guy who nobody can ever find. But don't fret you get to pay all the while you get lied to and for them getting all the conveniences you contracted to get.
Moving soon--but not soon enough...
From: 1INSPECTORDate posted: 2/15/2007NO ACCESS FOR PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES OR INJURIES !Visiting to take care of a sick relative. I expected that the sidewalks would get done for the high prices being paid here--but that hasn't happened and now I can't get the wheelchair over the sidewalk to get my relative to the doctor. TOO MUCH SNOWAND ICE for me to shovel myself--but why should I shovel since my relative is paying for this service. Managers in the office are ditsy-air heads with excuses why this and other repairs aren t done. I can't imagine if I wasn't here to care of my relative how they would manage. I don't know what else to do but I'm calling around to see who can get these dead beats to do their jobs. We re already shopping for a new place the amenities listed on rent.com aren t truly available.

Date posted: 2/16/2007 I wish I had known that this website was up to date when I moved into these places because they are terrible. Noise transfer is something that somebody had wrote was okay well if I can hear my neighbors talking and I know that they are not yelling then that is a problem and a lack of insulation. I lived in many apartments and this is the first apartment that I have lived in where you can hear everthing that the person down below and next to me on both sides are doing when they are in the bathroom. I LOVE DOING LAUNDRY WITH MY NEIGHBORS!!! When I try to sleep I can hear their washer going threw all of the cycles and them opening and closing the dryer door to start to drying their clothes. Its like having my very own personal laundry mat. Its sooooooo great!! NOT!!!
