DO NOT STAY AT REDPOINT THIS IS YOUR WARNING
Let me tell you about the horror story that is Redpoint. Right off the bat, the door knob to my room decided it was time to retire, falling off its hinge the moment I touched it. And let’s not forget the charming dog poop stains on the floor and the mold in the bathroom that was so artfully painted over. Truly, a masterpiece of neglect.
The management here is a real gem, especially with their pricing strategies. They have a knack for sneaking hidden fees into your rent, hoping you won’t notice. If you’re not on your toes, you might just end up paying more than you bargained for. And when the fridge started sparking and shut off, they graciously informed us it was because we were opening it too much. Their advice? Open it only once a day. Because who needs a functioning fridge, right?
Phone calls are a treat too. They love to avoid them and respond with the same brilliant line to everything. I was even locked out of my room once because the previous tenant decided to change the door frame but did such a stellar job that the door didn’t fit properly and jammed. So, I left my door open until someone came to fix it. Their solution to everything? Just paint over it. Problem solved!
The AC is another highlight, conveniently going out at night. Many residents are enjoying this feature as well. And the dryer? It literally sets off the smoke alarm every time it’s used, as it’s practically about to catch on fire. They charge exorbitant cleaning fees, yet the place remains spotless. I even spotted a raccoon rummaging through trash bags on people’s porches, which, while not their fault, was the final straw for me.
I’m now working with student legal aid to break my lease. Everyone raved about Redpoint, and it seemed like a great place close to school and the S loop. Maybe I should have done more research, but I’m sharing this to warn you: these student apartments are as predatory as they come. Always advocate for yourself, or you might find yourself scammed out of everything while receiving absolutely nothing in return. You’ve been warned!
