What Residents Say

Timberhill Commons attracts strong loyalty from many residents who praise the staff's warmth and recent improvements to maintenance and parking. Others report frustration with sudden guest parking charges, inconsistent upkeep since the transition to affordable housing designation, and difficulty reaching the office during maintenance emergencies.

The complex offers studios through three-bedroom units starting at $890, with amenities including a pool, fitness center, and pet policies. Maintenance technician Cesar draws specific praise for responsiveness, though complaints suggest office communication remains uneven and some services like pool cleaning have slipped.

Recent shift: Since management changed from Graystar to a new team in late 2024, the property transitioned to affordable housing designation. Residents report improvement in maintenance responsiveness, parking management, and staff friendliness, but note declines in pool upkeep frequency and some resistance to new guest parking fees.

The leasing team at The Finley (especially Naylene, Jessika, and Iris) consistently earns five-star ratings for product knowledge, attentiveness, and genuine warmth during tours and ongoing management. Residents report quick maintenance response and care for community events. Property upkeep is uneven: residents note old air conditioning, road damage, and security gaps that undermine the value proposition. No after-hours emergency contact remains a friction point for urgent issues. Overall, strong front-office experience tempered by aging infrastructure and limited after-hours availability.

The Lodge at Timberhill

3.9(113)✓ Google-verified

Residents on year-long tenancies praise Juan's same-day maintenance response and office staff who handle requests quickly. New residents often feel welcomed and appreciate the quiet setting, pool, and 24/7 gym. However, roach infestations persist, outdoor trash piles accumulate, and payment systems generate mysterious late fees that management disputes or handles inconsistently. One former tenant faced eviction following payment portal confusion; belongings were discarded before the 24-hour move-out grace period ended. Walls are thin, and insulation gaps invite noise and temperature swings. Residents with felony histories report inconsistent fee structures during move-in, with charges not matching lease paperwork or explanations. The property splits sharply: long-term residents rate it highly; short-term or departing residents cite operational chaos and sanitation failures that undermine what could otherwise be a stable, friendly community.
