    3.5/5 Elaine on Jul 27, 2024

    I have enjoyed living in Tarditi Commons for 5 years. First, I want to say that the location is spectacular!! I LOVE walking around town and having a grocery stores, pharmacy store, restaurants, etc within walking distance. It is affordable, though I find the yearly rent increases to be high at these times when all daily living costs are expensive, especially on a fixed income. Our manager, Amiee, is helpful, thoughtful, kind, cares about us and is quick to respond to maintenance and even some personal issues. The residents are friendly. The building is dated and needs a refresh. Carpeting in the main hallways on every floor are worn, stained and cannot be cleaned. Repainting in hallways in lighter colors is long overdue and would be a great improvement. The property is lovely and has great potential for landscaping improvements. The parking situation was poorly planned way back when the building was built as they didn’t plan on every unit needing a parking space. I think that the parking lot has room for several more spaces to accommodate everyone if it was redesigned. New, more efficient laundry machines for so many folks would be a nice improvement as well. A laundry sink to access water to clean up spills would be a plus. I would love to see a safer way to walk outside from the front of the property to the amazing back property where a patio for safe sitting outside would be a generous improvement! Overall, living here makes great sense for my needs in a comfortable safe community! I’m glad to be living here. Thanks for taking the time to review my thoughts!

    I love living here however we were promised that the hallways and woodwork would be painted this year. These areas are filthy and need repainting. I feel like management feels that because we're older and the rent is somewhat reasonable that they don't have to maintain the property. The hallway walls and moldings really need to be painted.

    I am so fortunate to live here. It's located in a beautiful area, good schools, safe environment, updated apartments, and very clean. The only things I would have loved to see is a community gym and the paint that is used in the hallways, isn't the best choice. It's easily dirtied because it isn't a white paint that can be cleaned off. My advice would be to use a paint with maybe a gloss? or that's easy to clean. When people move in with heavier items, it can scrape the paint and cause the hallways to look uncleanly. The maintenance guys are always cleaning the stairs though, they are also always kind. Other than that, it's a great place to live.

    I have lived here since the opening in September 2018, The office staff is the best at getting any request taken care of in a timely manner. It is very quiet even with the amount of children living here. The property is kept very clean by maintenance team. I would recommend the complex to my friends and family. My only complaint is we need more closet space, other than that I love living here.
