After my initial frustrating experience with Caroline Memorial Apartments, I want to acknowledge their efforts to rectify the situation. The team reached out, took accountability for the miscommunication, and worked diligently to address my concerns.
I appreciate the steps they’ve taken to improve communication and transparency. Their responsiveness and willingness to make things right have made a positive difference.
Thank you for your efforts to ensure a better customer experience.

ORIGINAL:
I had a deeply frustrating experience with Caroline Memorial Apartments, which highlighted poor communication, misleading information, and a lack of accountability.
Here’s what happened:
I toured the complex based on a quote from the leasing agent, who assured both me and my realtor that the rent for an 800+ square foot unit on the top floor with a pool view was $1,717/month. During my visit, the leasing agent even wrote this down, confirming the rate and apartment number.
To secure their six weeks free promotion, I applied online the same day, only to find that the rent was listed as $1,767/month—a discrepancy of $50. Concerned, I called the leasing office to clarify. The agent initially admitted she had quoted me the lower price but then backtracked, claiming the actual rent was $1,767/month. Despite her earlier confirmations (both verbal and written), I was told that the price discrepancy couldn’t be resolved.
When I asked for the corporate contact information to escalate the issue, it was reluctantly provided after multiple requests. I contacted corporate on December 18th and have yet to receive any response. I followed up with the leasing office on December 26th, as well as three or four additional times since, but my calls and emails remain unanswered.
My Takeaways:
1. Lack of Transparency: Quoting one rent and later backtracking, even with written proof, is unacceptable.
2. Unresponsive Corporate Team: It’s been weeks with no communication from corporate or the local office to address my concerns.
3. Unprofessional Service: The leasing office failed to take responsibility or offer a resolution for their mistake.
Final Thoughts:
I was genuinely excited about this apartment complex, but the experience left me disheartened and feeling disrespected as a potential tenant. If this is the level of service before moving in, I can only imagine how issues might be handled during a lease. I would strongly caution others to think twice before considering Caroline Memorial Apartments."
