Overall Review of Turner Point Residences
common34 reviews mention this
Leasing and office staff stand out
Residents repeatedly single out the front office for being welcoming, patient, and responsive.
Across the reviews, the office staff is the most consistent bright spot, with many residents naming specific people who answered questions, helped with tours, and followed up on concerns. Multiple tenants describe getting assistance quickly with move-in or paperwork topics, and several credit front desk staff for patience when issues became stressful. Even some otherwise negative reviews still acknowledge that the office team provides better customer service than other parts of day-to-day operations.

Maintenance help can be fast
When residents reach maintenance, some describe fixes that come quickly and address the problem.
Some reviews highlight maintenance workers who diagnosed issues, arrived promptly, and resolved specific repairs—especially with heating, drainage, or mechanical problems. Several residents say they felt listened to after submitting work orders, and one describes maintenance showing up the same day after contacting the office before closing. At the same time, other residents report ongoing delays and unfinished repairs, which suggests the experience depends on the issue and timing.

Cleanliness and pests are recurring complaints
Residents frequently complain about dirty conditions and pest problems inside or around the property.
A large share of the negative feedback describes unsanitary conditions—ranging from trash and unpleasant odors in common areas to reports of roaches, mice, and other pests. Mold is also mentioned in multiple accounts, including concerns in areas like garages and bathrooms. Some reviewers tie these problems to poor upkeep or slow resolution after reporting issues, while others mention infestations that persisted or worsened over time.

Safety concerns outweigh positives
Safety concerns, including crime and threats nearby, come up often in reviews.
Many residents express worry about the surrounding area and what they have experienced on-site, including reports of theft, shootings, and break-ins. Several accounts mention unsafe moments or damage to vehicles, along with complaints about security or response. A few reviews describe the area as less safe and point to ongoing incidents as a reason they would not recommend the community.
caveat19 reviews mention this
Repairs and responsiveness are inconsistent
Reviews describe recurring delays, incomplete fixes, and trouble getting follow-through.
Even where residents praise individual maintenance staff, multiple reviews describe repairs not being completed in a timely way or requiring repeated requests before anything changed. Heating and drainage issues appear in several stories, along with reports that residents were left without adequate functioning systems during colder periods. Some reviewers also mention difficulties reaching the office or getting updates, which adds to the sense of inconsistent follow-through.
caveat14 reviews mention this
Costs and deposits draw criticism
Some residents feel the charges, fees, and deposit handling are unfair or slow.
Several reviews criticize pricing, late fees, and the way payments are handled, including accounts that describe being charged more than expected. Deposit issues are another recurring theme, with some residents saying they didn’t receive refunds or experienced additional deductions when moving out. A few reviews also call out add-on costs tied to amenities they say were hard to use, or processes that felt confusing during the application and move-in period.
