Korman Communities review: Terrible Experience 2

I had a horrific experience living at Korman Communities in Downingtown, PA and I'm here to put in my two cents. This community is also formerly known as Cornerstone Terrace in Downingtown. Korman only cares about all the money they are raking in from the corporate suites. The permanent residents are given little to no consideration- Maintenance requests are ignored and when maintenance does show up it's without calling (or even knocking in some cases!) The cheapest apartment starts at nearly $1200 and yet what do you have to show for it? The appliances are the cheapest crap they could find, the customer service is terrible, and the walls are so thin you can have conversations with your neighbors through the wall or floor. Similar apartments in the Downingtown/Exton area are practically HALF the cost with the same quality or better! Try Severgn.

The office is run by a total ### named Kimberlee Nacarelli, who only seems to care about climbing the corporate ladder. Unfortunately management and customer service are not exactly her best skills. At a place where you can expect to dish out $1200+ a month for a crappy one bedroom apartment you would expect at least they would hire some good help, but sadly this is not the case. When Kimberlee is not busy writing idiotic memos with bad grammar to the community, she is dishing out orders to her underlings, The "Corporate Sales Managers" - Patricia and Nancy. Patricia is a self-absorbed ditz with no clue about what's going on around her, while Nancy Dunn only cares about making the next corporate sale. They all have huge smiles on their faces until they get you to sign their ridiculous lease, at which time they all turn into a well oiled machine. Have a problem or issue to deal with? Contact any of the fancy dressed women over at the office and they will either ignore you or pass you on to Kimberlee Nacarelli. She is full of lame excuses and likes to blame policies and problems on "corporate", who apparently doesn't exist. Attempting to get corporate contact information resulted in me being ignored and blown off. I was treated disrespectfully and like an idiot.

As if the customer service wasn't bad enough I haven't even gotten to the experience that is living at Korman! Since Korman chooses to use all cheap appliances the electric and gas bills are extremely high. Most of the residents seem to be deadbeats from the hood. My neighbors downstairs were drug dealers and often came blaring into the parking lot at 2am with their subwoofers on maximum. Parking is a disaster, since nobody has their own space. After I got home from work I'd be lucky to find a space anywhere near my building since anyone can park anywhere. Idiots routinely park in the middle of the sidewalk so you can't even walk to your mailbox! Packages are only delivered to your door as Korman will not accept them at the office, so theft of your items is a problem. There's nothing community-like about this place. The lease is written to completely rape you if you miss a rent payment, want to leave, or don't submit the proper "notification" months ahead of time that you are leaving. The management is terrible, the apartments are garbage, and the rent is far too high for what you get.

I want to make it perfectly clear that this complaint is a direct response to the inability of management to provide even a miniscule amount of customer service. I'd like to thank the people who were absolutely no help in resolving any of our issues- Kimberlee Nacarelli, Patricia, and Nancy. The bottom line is Korman Communities doesn't care about customer service of their permanent residents. They are pulling in boatloads of cash from their corporate suites and have a bunch of ###ic women running things. Avoid this dump and find a better living situation.
