Apartment Review for Downing Place Townhouses - Lexington, KY

I lived at Downing Place Townhouses for two years...but I regret giving them a dime after all the headaches I went through. First of all, the properties are not well-maintained. When we moved in, our carpet was nasty and the place stunk like cigarette smoke. During our occupancy, we had a number of problems with our main drain being clogged (causing a major water backup which flooded our entire downstairs). In addition, by the time we moved out, there had been a number of violent crimes which took place nearby (when I say nearby...I mean close to our front door) including a shooting / murder. When we moved out, my roommate and I spent six hours cleaning every nook and cranny of the apartment...we left that place spotless! Unfortunately, the management is pretty classless and it's clear that they will do whatever it takes to make $200 to help offset the cost of our leaving the property...they refused to refund us our security deposit!!! I would highly recommend you avoid this property...the rent is cheap there for a reason...it's a real dump and the people there are jerks. RENTERS BEWARE!!!
