  • Disgusting, Depressing, Disturbing

    June 13, 2023
    Lived here for 3yrs with my bf and it has been terrible, we were only 19 yrs old and excited to have an apartment but it has been a nightmare! They lack communication and management skills in general. The only upkeep they have is contractors mowing the lawn weekly. There is a roach and flea infestation in addition to water damage, uneven floor boards, cracks in baseboards, walls, countertops, and holes for roaches to travel between apartments. We were told we need to get on a waitlist for pest ...
    control but they never sprayed the whole time we've been here but are charged monthly. We clean daily but the stains we seen from move in day have yet to budge. They will tow your car if you don't move it every 2 days so don't think about taking a trip out of town, your car will be gone. You can't even walk outside without stepping in trash. This place is not safe there's shady people, my side mirror was stolen off my car. Everything is poorly made and maintenance doesn't do their job, my bf has had to fix everything from leaking toilets, broken thermostat, wall sockets being put on wrong, and so much more. This whole place is a fire hazard, a building burned down and management said nothing about it. If you live with a man you will be excluded from all communication even if you are on the lease. Stray cats and dogs barking 24/7. Police, ambulance, and fire trucks are here weekly. Our lease was up in March 2023, it's June and we still haven't renewed after visiting the office frequently and still paying rent. They have a police officer who patrols just to have people's car towed and put out eviction notices. We are moving ASAP. Our health and lifestyle has deteriorated significantly since moving here, it's not worth it.

  • Do not rent here

    March 4, 2023
    Listen I’m never the type to complain but this isn’t a safe place to live! I told them about stuff wrong with the apartment including all the wall plugs being loose, our floor rotting under the carpet and the stove not being safe to use at all. Our apartment was burnt down as well as others due to electrical issues in the walls. They did nothing about it.

  • Be careful!

    June 17, 2022
    I wanted to give zero star if I could! First of all, I am not alone, at least two of my friends had issues with the management! As a summary of my review is although I notified them 75 days before my leasing end, they say I didn’t. I went to office and filled out a form but they didn’t give me a receipt or letter(I wish I took a copy of it but Unfortunately didn’t). After I moved out, they charged me two months rent fee as a penalty. They should have refund my deposit but instead they charged me ...
    a penalty even I did nothing wrong. Now, they gave me to a collector. I hate you Valora, God knows the truth even I can’t prove it!

    December 11, 2021
    I have Been living here for the past 3 years in the “newly renovated apartment”.. before the pandemic i had no issues and they kept the apartments up but it seems like the apartment complex is just going down hill. They do not keep up the area like it should be not only that this past summer i spent two months without air and they kept saying it was top priority and was getting fix but never did until two months passed.. and now i have a hole in my ceiling from water leak that i have had ...
    maintenance request in for since Aug and now it’s Dec and ceiling has came in. Don’t try calling the office because they will not answer you. This will be my last year here!!

  • Slum Village at Homewood

    October 27, 2021
    I grew up in public housing. My first apartment had a rat problem. Yet neither are as bad as Valora at Homewood. Maintenance is lousy. Construction is horrible. Pest control is nonexistent. Property is not well maintained. Management is rude. Don’t waste your time and hard earned money on this complex.

  • Management can change alot

    May 25, 2021
    Once they changed management the complex has become a better environment. The communication betwwen staff and tenants has become better and the maintenace team is better at responding. I believe for what the new team has walked into as a whole they have a alot of work on their hands but they are doing their best to fix old problems first.

  • The literal worst place I have ever lived.

    March 15, 2021
    I have lived here for about 7-8 months now, and it is not even a slight exaggeration to say this is the worst place I have ever lived. The entire complex is just covered in trash and litter and broken glass and pet filth. I have raised numerous complaints to management, who will smile and say of course we will handle this, and then never think another thought about it. My unit has had a plethora of issues, and maintenance takes months to show up, if at all. I have sank who knows how much of my ...
    own money into repairs because they would not do anything about it. If you are thinking of living here, please do yourself a favor and go anywhere else. Anybody who gives this anything other than 1 star is likely either A) an employee or B) trying to win a free rent raffle. If I could give it 0 stars, I would.

    February 25, 2021
    This place is absolutely garbage and so is the management. My apartment was not ready when I moved in. My walls was painted on the day I was moving in and my carpet was wet and my bathtub was painted so when I took a bath paint was coming off. The kitchen island had gaps in it then I had 3 air conditioning leaks and it took them a week each time to fix it while my carpet was soaked from it. I had spots where they did a bad job painting and I had marks all over my walls and door. A few weeks ago ...
    we had trash all over the ground by the trash can for like a month and even by the mail box . I told them I was moving out early because they wasn't cleaning up the area and maintenance was terrible. After I told them that they said I was going to pay my next month and the second month I didn't have to pay because you have a 60 days notice but turns out they send me something in the mail saying I have a payment that they added to my bill. They changed over to new leasing manger and changed water companys and made everyone pay 200$ deposit for that without telling them. The fitness room has no equipment and half of it doesn't work or got stolen and the pool was unavailable most of the summer I would definitely not live here and it not worth the price

  • Live in your car before you live here

    February 5, 2021
    If you are faced with the choice of living in your car, or even the local park in the winter months, choose those options over this place EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. Management does not care about you or the upkeep of the complex. The lease you sign means positively nothing. The neighbors have no sense of community and you will be hotboxed in your own apartment nightly as well as woken up to couples arguing for hours in the parking lot or loud music blasting through the place. It is February and trash ...
    has not been picked up since roughly beginning of November. No one picks up after their dogs and you will walk in dog poop every day. The poop that is picked up piles up because despite a monthly maintenance charge, facilities and buildings are not maintained. Management (if you can even call them that) just drops their lack of doing their jobs on others. I assure you, you will regret every single day of your lease if you move here. DO NOT DO IT. I have lived in so many complexes as I was a student-athlete so teammates would move/rent would be raised/etc causing me to move and I have never, ever complained, wrote a negative review, nothing. I have never had such an atrocious living situation and felt like I am wasting money worse than I have living here. Pleaseeeeeee take your hard earned money somewhere where you will be valued, cared for, and heard.

  • Hard to get Maintenance

    July 22, 2020
    Just like the other review, my A/C started leaking into my apartment around July 5th. I put in a request to get it fixed...still haven't happened yet. It's now July 22nd. I've even contacted management about it a few days ago and guess what, it still leaks. I can't leave it off and have my apartment to be 80 degrees in sweltering heat and if I turn it on there will be a puddle in my closet....on the carpet. Other than that I love the location and the rest of the apartment.

  • Bad Management and Maintenance

    July 1, 2020
    MY AC unit broke and I was left without AC for 3 days. Nice and convenient place but very bad management.

  • Renovated, but beware...

    February 20, 2020
    For the first 6 months, the apartment I was in continuously flooded every time it rained (PS - it was 921 Valley Ridge Dr, Apartment 101). Carpet soaked, kitchen COVERED in standing water, even going into my bathroom. This caused an extensive amount of mold to grow under my cabinets and turned the white baseboards on the walls a nasty yellow color. I brought it up to maintenance three or four times, and each time they said they would send out an outside contractor to look at the outside of my ...
    building. No one EVER showed up, except for one time they sent someone out just to vacuum up the water in the carpet (it was still soaked afterwards, though). I finally had to go to the leasing office and threaten to move out without paying the buy-out fee for my lease. There's absolutely NO WAY they didn't know that the apartment flooded. I shouldn't have to worry every time I see rain clouds coming to Birmingham. I brought up the mold and they told me, as it says in their lease, "Well, mold is everywhere." I asked if they had any other unit available for me to move into, and Laura at leasing told me they didn't. Suddenly a day or two later, Laura calls again saying that they DO have a unit available to move into (was it the threat of potential legal action that had this unit *suddenly* available?). I moved into that new unit and, luckily, it no longer floods. I know for a fact the mold was from the flooding because I've been living in this new unit for almost the same amount of time now and there is no visible mold under my cabinets as it was in my previous one. ALSO BEWARE OF THE UTILITY BILL! Trash, water, and sewer varies between $110-120 every month ($25 of which is always for valet trash that works 65% of the time). I live in a one bedroom, one bathroom, 725 sq. ft. apartment and definitely don't use that much water. I've called Conservice (aptly named "con" service), the utility company, and they told me they take the water and sewer from the ENTIRE COMPLEX and divide it by square footage. Not just your building. I've brought this up to other apartments I've been touring and they look shocked when I tell them this. I will say, too, that the walls are VERY thin. I can hear my upstairs neighbors talking, their screeching newborn child, and even their phones vibrating when they get a notification. The new unit I've moved into is nice and spacious, but overall, the complex leaves little to be desired and I will not be renewing my lease.
