******NOT FRIENDLY FOR SINGLE WOMEN******
**I have lived at the Paramount for two years, and I cannot recommend this property to anyone—especially a woman living alone.**
Calling my experience here disappointing would be an understatement. It has been exhausting, degrading, and at times genuinely frightening to feel like the people responsible for this property simply do not care about the basic safety, security, or wellbeing of their residents.
During my two years here, I have dealt with:
-An apartment that was filthy at move-in: dirt and grime were everywhere, including inside the outlets and all over the blinds. This was apparently considered acceptable for someone moving into a new home.
-Repeated, prolonged AC failures: in both May-June 2025 and May-June 2026, my air conditioning was out for approximately an entire month.
-A hot-water outage lasting a week and a half: leaving me without a basic necessity in my own home.
-Neighbors threatening to murder one another, including the use of racist and slanderous language, creating an environment that is deeply unsettling for anyone living alone.
-A utility bill that skyrocketed from approximately $150 to $460 in only three months in a 638-square-foot apartment, with no reasonable explanation provided.
-Repeatedly being ignored when attempting to communicate with the front office and get answers or schedule appointments.
The first major AC outage happened immediately after my cat had surgery. My apartment reached approximately **95°F** while my recovering pet was inside. That should never have been something a resident had to endure.
To be fair, Fabiano, the maintenance manager, did everything he could to address the hot-water issue. Ultimately, **he had to ask the front office to give me access to another apartment simply so I could have hot water and live like a human being.** Beyond that, I was never given a meaningful explanation for what happened, and my attempts to communicate with the front office were routinely ignored.
And then came today.
I submitted a maintenance request because my AC was not working. I came home to discover that **my apartment had visibly been left open** after maintenance entered.
That was the final straw.
After everything I have already experienced here, coming home to find my apartment unsecured crossed a line. Your home is supposed to be the one place where you can feel safe. I should not have to wonder whether my apartment will be secure after I give management permission to enter it.
After two years of dealing with broken essential services, extreme temperatures, unexplained charges, hostile behavior from neighbors, poor communication, and now an unsecured apartment, I have completely lost confidence in this property.
I do not feel valued as a resident. I do not feel adequately protected as a woman living alone. And I certainly do not feel like the wellbeing of my pet or myself has been treated as a priority.
If you are considering living at the Paramount, please think very carefully before signing a lease. My experience has been that you can pay your rent on time, follow the rules, and still feel like you are being treated as though your basic comfort, safety, and dignity are an inconvenience.
Two years here have been more than enough. I would not make this choice again.
