  I’ve lived at Vanguard Clayton for almost a year, and now that my lease is ending, I would not recommend this complex for the price point. For over $1,800 a month (before utilities) for a one-bedroom apartment, the overall experience has been disappointing. Noise Issues The walls are extremely thin — you can hear conversations, people walking, doors slamming, dogs barking, and general hallway noise at almost all hours. This has been a consistent issue since the day I moved in. Parking & Inconsistent Enforcement I pay for a garage parking spot, but would occasionally park briefly near the curb to unload groceries due to the lack of carts. I had done this consistently for months without issue. However, shortly after submitting feedback through their resident survey, I was told I could no longer do so. The timing and inconsistency in enforcement were frustrating. Carts Are Practically Nonexistent The complex promotes carts for residents to use, but in nearly a year, I’ve only seen one available once. I was told the entire building only has two carts, which makes it very difficult for residents to transport groceries or larger items. Trash Fee I accidentally put my trash out on the wrong day once and was immediately charged $50 with no prior warning or communication. Appliances The in-unit washer and dryer were consistently underwhelming and did not perform well throughout my stay, which added to the overall frustration given the price point. Staff Interaction During a recent situation involving a guest parking in the garage, I was told I had received “multiple warnings,” which I had not. When I tried to calmly explain, the interaction became tense and felt dismissive. I was also approached again shortly after while picking up mail, which escalated the situation unnecessarily. It was also frustrating to see what appeared to be inconsistent enforcement of parking rules compared to how staff and others utilized certain areas. Deposit & Move-Out Charges At move-out, my security deposit was applied toward cleaning and additional charges, and I was still billed beyond that. This was frustrating, as I had cleaned the unit myself and also paid for a professional cleaning service prior to moving out. Overall Other than the constant noise, I did not have major issues early on. However, the combination of: * Thin walls * Constant noise * Lack of carts * Inconsistent enforcement * Additional fees * Underperforming appliances * And negative staff interactions …makes it difficult to justify the cost of living here. I had hoped for a more professional and consistent experience, especially at this price point, but that was not my experience.

  Staff always cooperative, patient and cooperative. Also very pleasant to deal with. Apartment is comfortable. Nice floor plan. Does not feel confining. Enjoy living here. Pleasant neighborhood. Have been here almost four years, Wish we had discovered them earlier. We are elderly but find living here easy.

  Good quality of living but the amount of rent they tell you you'll pay vs the total amount due to extra fees should be criminal.
