Where do I start? Do not be fooled by the seemingly attractive appearance of this huge apartment complex, or the management staff that attempt to convince you of their sensitivity to the highly alarming number of serious and personally costly incidences. My boyfriend has lived in this complex almost 3 years now, and I lived with him in his unit for approximately one of those years. During my residence at Saybrook Pointe, I was fortunate to come away from my rental experience only slightly scathed, with only my car intenna being stolen. Did not feel at the time it was worth a report to management or calling police, as i felt it was probably an isolated incident. Move on....or so you would think. In the time my boyfriend has lived at this complex, his work truck has been broken into 4 times resulting in very expensive tools and equipment being stolen each time. His truck has also been tagged (graffiti) five different times, two of those incidents involving complete gallons of paint (negligently left out by the construction crew) thrown over most of his entire vehicle. His adult son which resides with him, also had his window of his car broke out and expensive speakers stolen. "Security gates, 24 hr security" are merely bullet points in their lengthy list of amenities they provide. Security gate, meaning anyone who waits long enough for a vehicle to go through ahead of them will gain easy access into the complex. Security guard translates to " don't you dare try to swim quietly in the pool at 10:00 pm on a rare 100 degree evening". He will be right there like clockwork to lock the gate and kick you out. Where is he when all the vandalism is happening? You would also think with the constant appearance of tow trucks coming and going through the complex at all hours of the night looking for some unsolicited towing action, would see something. The main purpose of this review is to warn future and current residents to be sure and have a sizable vehicle AND renters insurance policy in place prior to move in, because you WILL eventually need it, should you choose to risk living at Saybrook Pointe. The staff and upper corporate management will do NOTHING to ensure your vehicle and valuables are safe, regardless of how many times you report an incident.. When questioning neighboring tenants, in which we had the opportunity to talk to while they were in the process of moving out, shared a story or two about being victimized. That being one of the main reason they were leaving. Please be warned should you decide to ignore the purpose of this review, you will be a sitting duck, and it is only time before you will fall victim to one or more numerous crimes that occur at this property.
