Luxor Gardens Apartments

gained entrance to apartments through HVAC ducts. Luxor Gardens is a mess.

my own expense. I avoid carrying my trash out at night. I won’t invite relatives to visit because of safety concerns. The Luxor promise of a “safe, quiet, and clean” environment is a farce. All three qualities are violated every day as a matter of routine. The latest OD occurred at Luxor last week. The township police rarely patrol, although a maintenance worker told me there are more drugs and guns on the property than on the streets of Johnstown. While every other comparable apartment complex within 60 miles is operating at 100% capacity, Luxor operates at significantly less. Overgrown weeds abound, and vacant apartments with blinds akimbo punctuate the brick structures. Many of the buildings have the empty-eyed appearance of abandoned properties. But somehow more objectionable than the safety violations or the blighted appearance is the arrogance of the apartment complex’ management, which seems to seek to punish those tenants who want to live quietly and with a measure of dignity. Residents paying premium rates are subjected to the disgrace of poverty. Despite the safety concerns and physical appearance of the property, rental rates were raised by some 27% during the summer of 2022, an increase that occurred simultaneously with a complete breakdown of property maintenance. For a full seven weeks, from June until August of 2022, the lawns were neglected. Grass and weeds in yards around the property grew to heights in some cases exceeding two feet. The neglect of lawn maintenance continued until repeated calls to the Township Codes Enforcement office resulted in a threat of sanctions against the ownership--only then was the complaint addressed. Still, other maintenance requests are routinely ignored. For those who don’t mind hearing their neighbors’ conversations through wafer-thin walls, for those who seek to pay premium prices to live in the chaos and insecurity of a blighted property, Luxor might be the place for you. Others beware.

it. I am going to add this though, make sure you have check everything and that it's to your requirements. Other than that these apartments are what you make it.

since the new company took over. Making changes has made a big difference in a short amount of time. I love my apartment that I share with my wife and 2 children. Great place to live very peaceful!

the lease than they change. The fire extinguisher was empty. We got ants asap I called and was told it wasnt their problem,bad been there a week. The maintenance people dont come till you call again and again. We got locked out 3 times and once locked in the door had issues. Our neighbors were nosey. They looked when we left and when we had friends over. We kept to ourselves. We had issues and they always said they'd take us to court. People watch you outside just walking. The neighbors would yell and have partys and smoked weed. I wish I looked at the place first but our other options went so we got stuck. I am glad to be gone. A year didnt go fast enough. I wouldn't want someone to go though what I did.

and people are not overly noisy in or around our building. Maintenance was reasonably quick and very friendly when we called about a problem with our sink. The office is responsive and relatively friendly for as busy as they are. The complex is not really located within walking distance of anything. It might be possible to walk to some limited shopping in Geistown (less than 3 miles one way-- walkable for an avid walker), but the roads you have to walk on aren't pedestrian friendly. There are, however, sidewalks within the complex, if you just want to walk for exercise, and the wooded setting is the trade-off for the lack of walkability. The rent here is affordable, but do note that no utilities are included at all. Unlike most apartments in Johnstown, there is a shorter (6 month) lease period, if you don't need to stay for a year. We're only in Johnstown for as long as we need to be, so that was important to us.
