Moved in 3/2012 and saw bugs the first day,but didn't know what they were, turned out to be bed bugs. Orkin was there several times, but the problem still exists. After battling with management, they agreed to let us out of the lease, but would not reimburse us for expenses incurred. This place is a dump and I wish we read the reviews before we rented here. We are in the process of talking to an attorney.
Do not rent here, bed bug infested and management is non- responsive. They take y
our money and then ignore you. We were lucky to get out of there.

BED BUG's - parktowne place.
The entire building is infested. Rats/mice and roaches aside... They have had bedbugs here for years and do little to nothing to remove them.

I just posted the bed bugs registry(no. 2) about this place. Just forgot duration : May- 2005 to mid 2008. Also, the property manager there was named Bob Philips(Philips Jr, Robert) at that time, just to give more specific information.

I lived at Park Towne appts for 2.5 years.
(1) East building (1 year): In my appartment did not have bed bugs. My friends in (west building) had trouble living there and had to do bugs treatment twice but no difference. I witnessed their trouble during most part of the year
(2) Having a good experience in first year, I moved to the same building (East) in a new appartment. This was a terrible disaster. Whole appartment was flooding with bed bugs right since the first day. The management char
ged us huge fees (300 once and for second time, $600) for bugs treatment and damages. Still no cure, by that time, bugs were on each floor in east bldg.
(3)Last six months, I moved to another floor in the same building-east just because I could not afford to rent a whole appartment at other place. Dispite knowing that that appt also already had bed bugs. However the roommates in that appt did extensive treatment making the bug harrassment a little lesser.
Guys, be ware if you are thinking of moving at park towne. You will be cheated by initially not disclosing the bugs history and then by charging huge fees. Additionally, you will be locked down at the place for a year because of the lease agreement you have done. I had to throw my all furniture in the second year and the second bed while moving out of third appartment.
You would ask why I stayed there for 2.5 years. I leased for the second year with the hope of finding the good appt because I had a good experience in first year. Then, I was locked down till I get rid of the 1 year lease and had already paid huge charges for bugs treatment in my apt. Then, while staying during last 6 months with friends, I was looking for a job. So, had no way..If you have any other option, you better do that.

Park Towne Place, Apt. W1905A. Found bugs within the first week after move-in on 7/22/08. Management initially co-operated but was reluctant to pay for anything (such as treatments, laundry, etc). Heard from a maintenance guy that the West building has a history with bedbugs.
The in-house extermination company is treating every 10 days. Still getting bit.
