The Oaks property in L5P is such a great location for the price its hard to complain about the slow and shoddy repairs. Bo, the onsite manager, is the best you can ask for in the area and took it upon himself to run off the hooligans that frequented the parking lot and yard outside the complex. I never had a problem with the people in the office, they were all very nice, very no nonsense, returned my security deposit with out ripping me off for anything (which, really, is A LOT to ask for these days). Get your rent in on time and you will have no problems with these guys.

I have lived at two Connie Rose Properties. The first one was at Lavista Valley -- across from Whole Foods and now I live at The Oaks in Little 5 Points. I have always found them to be great people to deal with. The Oaks is a neat historic old building -- very well maintained. Their office is always pleasant and responsive. The maintenance guys are always nice and helpful whenever I have needed them.

I lived at a Connie Rose managed property for 1 year (I got out as soon as my lease way up!!!) and between the daily crime (8 car break-ins and 2 home break-ins), smell and noise I wouldn't wish my worst enemy to live anywhere that has that company's name on it! It is downright filthy and I was embarrassed to live there and this is one of their “nice” properties!

I had a terrible experience with Connie Rose that I felt I needed to share so others can avoid them and their shady business practices...

I signed a lease with them for one of their units in Emory Arms Apartments on June 2. I started moving my things in and on June 19 when I went to the apartment to move more stuff in there was a letter tacked to my door saying that the apartment complex had been sold and I had 30 days to vacate. The letter also indicated that the buyer would be demolishing the complex and building new properties. Clearly, they knew about this when I signed the lease and leased the apartment to me anyway, without mentioning the possibilty that they would be selling the building in the near future.

Thankfully, I work for a law firm and we sent them a letter demading that they refund my security deposit, pet deposit (since I never fully moved in and my cat had never been at the apartment), June rent, and other moving expenses. They wrote a letter back saying they told me that there was a possibility the apartments would be sold and that they even offered me 2 other units in different complexes-- obviously, complete lies. We wrote back saying that I would sign an affidavit and testify that this was untrue. I guess this scared them enough because they called a few days later agreeing to give me back my June rent (I was already refunded the 2 deposits from the company that bought the units).

Anyway, to make a long story short, Connie Rose is a completely unethical and sleazy business that tried to screw me over, probably because they thought it would be easy to take advantage of a young 22-year old girl like me. I would NOT recommend renting from them under any circumstances!

I lived at one of Connie Rose's apartments for 7 yrs. The first few where ok except that it took forever for anything to get fixed. Then I found that large rodents had gotten in to the kitchen. First I was told: "Don't put food out for your pets." A ridiculous excuse that I did not accept. Then they sent an exterminator who put some foam around the kitchen floor ,but no-one was sent to block up the holes. The rodents were back in a few months , then they send an exterminator who put rodent killer behind the dishwasher. Soon there was a terrible dead-body odor coming out of the walls in the kitchen, then there were literally thousands of flies coming out of the walls. A few months later the animals were back. This time I sent a notarized letter to Connie Rose and caught a huge rodent in a Have-a-hart trap and took it over to their office.Needless to say this got their attention and this time they had a exterminator look for places they were getting in from around the foundation of the building. This, instead of hiring someone to block up the places the vermin were getting into. The rodents were gone for about 6 months and then came back. This time my complaints brought NO action what so ever because they were planning to sell the building to a developer and did not give a damn or a rodents bum -of which there were many- how their tenants live. I finally got the hell out of there when I found a nest under my couch.
These people are the worst scum-slum lords I have ever encountered. They take advantage of the fact that many of their tenants have low incomes and are afraid to complain about horrific living conditions.
STAY as far AWAY from these people as you can!!!!
