Overall Review of Golden Spike Apartments
caveat10 reviews mention this
Management and staff feel unreliable
Residents describe management and office staff as inconsistent at best and hostile at worst.
Across multiple reviews, residents report poor customer service, rudeness, and staff who either argue, intimidate, or do not follow through after being notified. Some reviewers specifically call out aggressive or condescending behavior by a manager, while others describe a cycle of management changes that they say has not improved day-to-day living. A small number of reviews note improvements after a particular manager took over, but the overall feedback centers on unreliable communication and support.
caveat5 reviews mention this
Pest problems come up often
Several residents raise serious concerns about bugs and infestations.
More than one review describes bedbugs and other pests as persistent problems, with units reported to be affected even though the community was told about the issue. One review also ties pest concerns to plumbing problems and poor maintenance, while another calls out roach and bedbug issues as widespread. Even among the complaints, the thread is consistent: residents say infestations were not resolved in a way that felt safe or timely.
caveat4 reviews mention this
Security and access feel inadequate
Residents report limited patrol and access controls that affect day-to-day safety.
Some reviews describe the building as not well secured or regularly patrolled, including concerns about how doors and access work for people coming in from outside. Others mention undesired activity and conflict on-site, including reports of harassment and intimidation involving other residents or visitors. A related theme is that security measures were shut down or not consistently operating, which residents say left problems unchecked.
caveat5 reviews mention this
Elevators and repairs seem unreliable
Elevator downtime and unfinished repair work are recurring complaints.
Several reviews say one elevator is often out of service or kept unavailable for long periods, while the other can be unreliable or frequently break down. One resident also mentions being trapped and needing emergency help, and another describes the inconvenience of waiting for elevator access when providing care. Multiple reviews connect the repair concerns to broader maintenance issues that make routine movement through the building difficult.
caveat6 reviews mention this
The building needs major upkeep
Residents describe the property as dated and in need of renovation and fixes.
Reviews frequently mention units needing updates and ongoing repairs, including plumbing and water-temperature problems and other disrepair. Some residents describe long-running construction activity that does not appear to conclude, alongside reports of problems that continue without resolution. A few complaints also point to health- and safety-related building concerns, including lead-based paint and hazardous living conditions.
