I lived at Amberwood Townhomes for 2.5 years. In the afternoon of May 2014, while I was at work, someone broke into my Townhome by kicking in my Back Door. The doors are made of Cheap Material, and Installed Poorly with Unsecure Locks. After my TownHome was broken into, the Property Manager DID NOT ALERT the Residents about the danger that occurred on the Property. Last year My Neighbor's Apartment was also Burglarized, and of course, the Residents were NOT NOTIFIED about that Incident either. I informed the Owner, Mr. Whitfield about my Break- In, and of course, he said "The Property Manager did not inform him about the crime that had occurred". WOW! I was truly lost for words. PLEASE BEWARE OF THE CONSTANT BURGLARIES, BUG PROBLEMS, HIGH ELECTRIC BILLS, DUE TO AN OLD BUILDING, A LEAKING ROOF, TOILET AND SEWER OVERFLOWS IN YOUR HOUSE, SLOW MAINTENANCE, POOR STREET LIGHTING AND BAD MANAGEMENT. All of these problems were MY HEADACHES WHILE LIVING THERE, WHAT A NIGHTMARE. PLEASE, YOU DO NOT NEED THESE PROBLEMS. ENTER AT YOUR OWN RISK, AND SO YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!!!!!!!!! ...read more

We have had two big issues, with this being the worst. We suspected mold in our hallway bathroom for a little while, due to the fact everyone in our family has been pretty much non stop sick. Not to mention the way the wall looked. We noticed the toilet in that bathroom was leaking pretty bad on 05OCT11 so we shut off the water. We reported it and placed a maintenance request on 06OCT11 around 9:15am. After a week had passed, I went in to check on the mold test. I was told they should be at my house within two days, they didn't show. So I waited till 20OCT11, and went and spoke with the Office manager about the mold, he setup for them to come in on 21OCT11. The first maintenance man, looks and pushed on the wall, and said it wasn't mold, then later the second maintenance man came in, and also said it wasn't mold. I continued to question it, and he said "If it were mold, you would know it. It would be black, or pink would be showing through". So I left it alone, and after they left. My husband and I ran to Lowe's to pick up an at home mold test, and I pushed in the wallpaper, and sure enough there was mold! It had traveled onto the wall to the laundry room, it was under the tiles beneath the toilet. The office was already closed, so I cut off a piece and placed it in a zip lock bag. On 22OCT11, I took that into the office, placed it on her desk, and said if that isn't mold then what is?? She told me she was going to call the Office Manager, and get back with me. She later calls and leaves a message, stating the maintenance seen signs of mold. So I called her back, and she said that I was told to stay out of that bathroom. Which I told her on the phone, and through email that statement was not true. Anyways, to kinda cut it short. They tried to play me as a fool, and short cut the job, but not having professionals deal with it, instead of them replacing the drywall and calling it good. Only, I am very smart, and well educated. I also have friends in high places, which advised to me to get a certified letter out to them ASAP, and I wrote that up on 23OCT11, and mailed it out around 9:35am on 24OCT11. Then went by the office on my way home to notify them of the letter, and to make them aware I was having a mold specialist come out at 11am, before maintenance starts the repairs to gather samples, and them again after maintenance has finished. Well Later on 24OCT11, we were notified a professional mold company would be at our home around 2-3pm. (which is kinda funny, because that was not their original plan at all). My professional company had came in at 11am and did sampling and moisture tests, as well as taken pictures. Theirs came in looked, said it is mold, and told maintenance to remove the toilet and pull two of the tiles in the bathroom. They did that, then came back on 25OCT11 to start sanitizing and using the dehumidifier, well after all this I went to the office, cause they really shouldn't have had us living here knowing there is mold, and we got the report from our mold professional, and it shows 3 types of toxic molds, one of which being black mold(has potential to kill). All 3 are either Class A or Class B, which are worst kinds. I addressed that this isn't safe, and he should have offered us somewhere else to stay, and his response is nothing useful. So needless to say, we are stuck here in a toxic environment with mold spores floating around in our air! When I was talking to him about all of this he asked me what I wanted out of this, and I told him I really just want out of my lease, and he said he will see what he can do, and will contact me before closing. We ended up going to the office 15 mins before closing, and my husband went in, and he said we can move out on the 31st, but there keep our deposit. So, your going to punish me for your mess and mistakes. Not only by keeping my deposit, but putting my family through all this stress, health issues, due to toxic mold. \t\n ...read more

I have lived here for 6+ years now, and it's not quite as bad as KJones, but they are right on some ponts. It's definately not as perfect as CJ claims (I'll bet that it's an employee, they're the only one's that give a perfect 5 star rating - nothing in life is absolutely perfect). \t\n\t\nBoth pools were closed this past summer, and they do raise your rent on a more than regular basis. The tennis court is never functional (no net), and teenagers take over the playgrounds, so the smaller kids can't play. \t\n\t\nThe streets flood REALLY bad after rains storms, and they don't have to be hard rain storms. The entrances get extremely pot-holed and bad, and everytime I turn around, there is a new manager. North Charleston Police are always around, but that's not necessary a bad thing. Some of the time, they're just patrolling - just really wish they'd get the speeders - this isn't a nascar track, people!\t\n\t\nSaddlebrook is fairly quiet and are in a really good school district. For the price, it's decent - but they do have a ton of rules, more than your typical apartment community. ...read more
Are you looking to buy a house? When you go to look at houses, you will quickly see that realtors do not use street addresses as a method of identifying houses. They use an MLS number which allows them to quickly access information about a property for sale. Using a street address gives you some infor... ...read more
