    Overall Review of Seton Square East

    Pros

    • pro It is a nice residential community.
    • pro It is a very good value for the money.

    Cons

    • pro Management cut the AC to save on electricity, leaving units uncomfortably hot.
    • pro No one could be reached; the office was closed when they went to inquire.
    • pro The aunt's former residence did not seem like the best living situation.
    • pro Without an on-site manager, the community has declined; management is barely present and slow to respond, which is disappointing for residents who pay rent.
    • pro The facilities are often dirty and smell like cigarettes.
    • pro There are no staff to assist residents; customer service is lacking, and there are no good deals after summer - with patio furniture and plants still marked up.
    • pro Water issues force residents to buy extra water at stores for everyday living; this should be fixed.
    • pro Theft has everyone feeling suspicious.

    Review

    The place has been feeling the heat in more ways than one. With the AC turned off to save on electricity, it's uncomfortably warm inside, leaving residents and visitors alike frustrated and sweltering. Communication doesn't seem any cooler, either: one person tried to arrange something for their dad, left a voicemail, and never got a response. After that, they drove over to the property only to find the place closed, adding to the sense that help and information aren't reliably available when it's most needed.

    Another reviewer opens a window into a more personal history with the community. Their aunt lived there before she passed away, and the living situation just didn't feel like the best arrangement. The sentiment is tinged with sadness and disappointment, suggesting that for some residents, the experience may not live up to expectations or past standards, especially when considering family memories connected to the place.

    A common thread across several notes is the absence of an on-site manager and the resulting decline in overall community upkeep. With management barely present, responses drag on for too long, leaving residents feeling neglected. This has been particularly hard on a parent who continues to pay rent while witnessing what they describe as dirty facilities and frequent cigarette odors. The impression is that essential managerial presence and proactive maintenance have waned, and that commitment to residents' daily living needs is insufficient.

    The customer service gap is another recurring concern. There are no employees readily available to help residents locate things or handle routine questions, and the overall level of service is described as needing significant improvement. Complaints extend to value and deals as well, with criticism aimed at the lack of good offers even after summer has ended and at summer patio furnishings and plants that remain marked up, implying poor value perception and misplaced pricing.

    Despite these criticisms, there's a persistent claim that the community is still a nice residential environment. However, this positive note is tempered by practical problems that threaten daily comfort. There's a notable issue with the building's water supply that residents believe needs urgent attention. The expectation is clear: the water problem should be fixed so residents aren't forced to buy substantial quantities for ordinary use, a situation that feels unsustainable and unfair to those who are already paying for a home.

    Safety and trust concerns also surface, with mentions that "due to all the theft everyone is suspicious." The sense of vigilance and unease colors daily life, underscoring how security incidents - whether real or perceived - can erode comfort and confidence in a community's environment. In such a context, even positive elements like the perceived value of the living arrangement can be overshadowed by worries about safety and reliability.

    On balance, a mix of conflicting signals emerges. Some reviewers still see value for the money, and there are remarks about family connections to the place - "My mom's lives there" and similar statements - implying a personal stake in the community's stability. Yet the overall impression remains clouded by accessibility problems, maintenance lapses, insufficient communication, and ongoing concerns about water, cleanliness, and security. The combination of these factors makes the experience feel inconsistent and, for some, unsatisfactory, despite moments of potential appeal.
