Sweetwater Terraces

Sweetwater Terraces was sold recently, and being managed by One Star Management Company. I have lived here since 2015. The rent for 1 bedroom was $825.00/month. Then increased to $830.00/month. The new Management says they are increasing the rent 7%. I will not be able to afford that. Also, the emergency call systems in each apartment has been disarmed. We were asked per letter to purchase an emergency device to wear. I can't afford that. I have heard so many Residents saying that they only have Social Security income, so do I. On a limited income from Social Security. I feel like there will be either some homeless people or people having to move due to the LARGE 7% increase in Rent. Please Help!

I toured Sweetwater Terraces but I didn't like it. When I went in, the atmosphere didn't feel like a good fit for me. The staff who was supposed to be doing the tour with me never showed up, so I didn't get a good vibe. I got the chance to see the rooms, they were very nice and the layout was also nice. The dining area was nice, and they also had a nice, little store. I didn't get a homey feeling when I was there. They had a lot of activities available, but nothing was going on during my visit. Since the staff didn't show up to give me a tour, one of the residents helped me instead.

I recommend it all the time to people who are in my situation. My mother in law needed a place of her own that was affordable. They are very affordable. This facility is like a cruise ship. It has a lot of amenities like a luxurious hotel. It also has very high security. The value is excellent. The facility is always clean. There is a great deal of activities. The Sweetwater Terraces is a very nice place.

They have been very helpful and have done a good job getting me all set up with everything in a timely manner. It has been a great experience. It is kind of yucky looking at the back entrance. Not dirty anything, but just bare. It would be nice to have some grass and shrubs back there.

$825 for a small 1 bedroom apartment, electricity and water included. I don't like the 2 bedrooms apt, the second bedroom is small. Noise: You can hear everything up, down, and around. Sometimes the noises can be really annoying and late at night. Cable/Internet: Bad. The new deal is to pay $45 for around 20 channels (it comes to 10, repeated). Internet does not run fast and good all the time. You are obligated to pay $45 for both Cable and Internet, even if you do not use Internet or do not care about cable. It seems good but if you add $45 to the rent is expensive for a retired person. Laundry; Free, people from outside, family members of the seniors living there use them frequently. You do better bringing your own. There is nobody in the office on Saturdays. (There is no control of visitors, with the gates broken or open frequently anybody can come in, and the area around is not really great). Some side doors break down often too and the slamming of these doors shake up 3 floors as late as 12am. The pest control should be obligatory and monthly. (You have to call to have them fumigate once per month, if you don't, you may get roaches of all sizes eventually). They should have better and more activities for seniors healthy living.
