I've lived here for the past 15 months and I honestly feel like I've been robbed of my money. First of all, the laundry room has no rules. People can take your clothes out of the washer and dryer with no consequence or fear of repercussions from the leasing office. People also leave their clothes in the washer/dryer for days at a time and don't bother to pick them up. Then there is the issue of Merrimack College students. Royal Crest allowed 4 apartments in my building to be rented out as dorms for these children who don't respect the fact that they are living in a building with other people. Needless to say the cleanliness of the complex should be a crime and the buildings smell like a dumpster filled with 6 month old rotting food. The entire complex has been turned into party central, there are beer can see and liquor bottles littering almost every square foot of grass on the property. The kids in the apartment belowe me smoke so much weed that it smells in my apartment. The entire hallway in my building from the basement to the third floor constantly smells like weed. When I bring it up to the leasing office they tell me they will do an inspection. I've brought it up 3 times in the last month and the hallway and my bathrooms still smell like weed. I agreed to pay over 1600 bucks a month for what I thought was going to be a great living experience and now, a week away from my lease end date, I'm feeling relieved to be leaving and also like I've been robbed of all that money. I could have lived in Lynn for half the money and got the same experience. The parking is another issue. Out of the clear blue sky towards the end of last year, they decided they were going to change the parking set up, and since then, my pregnant wife (about 5 times a week) has to walk an unnecessary distance to get to our building. People who don't have parking passes or visiting passes stay in spots for days without being towed or moved for the people that are FORCED TO PAY for parking spots when they move in. I work long days and I work hard to pay my rent and pay my bills and the last thing I want when I get home is to have to walk a mile to get to my building and a woman who is 7 months pregnant shouldn't have to do that either. Other residents let their dogs run around with no leashes, the residents SPEED through the complex roads and parking lots, I've almost been run down a few times and got into shouting matches with a couple of these people. It's apparent to me, after spending this much time here, that Royal Crest doesn't give a shit about anyone in the place. It's a complete free for all, but as long as they can take almost 20000 (1 years worth of rent) dollars of your hard earned money, they will look the other way. A LOT. If I could give them no stars I would. I urge everyone to take a minute and read the negative reviews because you will see that almost all of the complaints are the same, if not VERY similar. BEWARE OF BUGS, if you like creepy crawlers in your building, then this is just the place for you. And the "response from owner" seems to pass the buck into someone else with a promise to make things right. These complaints have been going back atleast 2 years, it's kind of funny that 2 years later I have the same complaints that were suppose to be made right. RENTER BEWARE. YOU WILL BE GETTING ROBBED.
