I must echo the complaints of a prior comment made by Sai V because I completely agree with everything he said. I actually believe Royal Crest is a COMPLETE SCAM. There are hundreds of dollars worth of hidden fees, and they lied to my boyfriend and I about how much this would actually impact monthly rent. The leasing office acts as if they are there for you, but they are completely fake. When you go on a tour, like Sai V said, they show you the gym and game room (which was being worked on half the time we stayed there so we couldn't even use it) - and it seems like a great place. However once you move in you realize it is extremely depressing, you are isolated from the world and there are so many empty apartments. It costs $5 to do one load of laundry, and there are only a few machines for each building. To make this even more frustrating, the machines barely work so you have to actually spend another $2.50 on a second drying cycle or your clothes will be damp. There are constantly broken pipes so the water doesn't work sometimes, and the buildings smell terrible bc of the trash. These were the least of my worries though considering the HORRIBLE hidden fees- as if the rent itself wasn't already a joke because it is so high. I was completely new to the area and I was literally tricked by the leasing office into thinking that I should apply for a larger apartment than I had originally planned to. I was definitely naïve and should have realized that they were using this as a sales move, but I trusted the leasing office because they seemed to be helpful toward the fact that I am young (I am 22) so they made it seem like a great deal without explaining any of the insane hidden fees. I also trusted the leasing office to be caring toward my situation when I voiced my wishes to move out due to the high rent and current health issues. Josh the manager acted like he would be so helpful, once again stating how we were "so young" and that he would help us, but he screwed us over and my boyfriend had to go to court! While he acted so nice at the leasing office, his personality suddenly changed and my boyfriend said that he was a completely different person in court and in front of the lawyer. FAKE! I couldn't go to court because I was watching a newborn and so Josh made my boyfriend drive to the house I was at so that I could sign more forms with a baby in my arms because they said if we didn't agree to their ridiculous payment plan we would be kicked out immediately. Even though every penny I had already went to Royal Crest, we now have to pay for court fees along with the thousands of dollars we have to pay for the buyout fee. I also realized when I moved there that there are many, many empty apartments because so many people come and go- then Royal Crest makes money with the buyout fees that people are forced to pay. They knew that I was facing health issues and could not even pay for gas to get to work, but they demanded the money from me nonetheless after promising to help us. They also lied and said our check bounced when it did not, they are con artists and lie all the time about everything- they are now trying to make us pay for a cleaning fee when we cleaned the whole apartment- I even took pictures because I know how shady they are!!! Read further in the reviews and see that they have lied in the past before to make money. Extremely terrible place and I understand why so many of the apartments are empty. DO NOT LIVE HERE ever, they completely took advantage of our situation, our struggle, and how young we were, which is downright wrong. I am now living somewhere that is half the rent of Royal Crest and the management company is excellent, responding to all my requests, and we have had no trouble at all, with an even nicer apartment that is closer to my work and the city.
