Governor Square Apartments

Nothing really nice to say other than its cheapest in carmel for the size of apts but you also get what you pay for!! horrible maintenance staff and apts are in bad shape. unresponsive management for wornout apts and they don't seem to care not even for a prospective resident. very stupid way to manage a complex so good luck with that!! very low end for carmel i was looking at moving there but not anymore no sir. after initial chats and almost putting in a deposit i found all these bad reviews and experiences so gona save my money and sanity and go somewhere nicer.. Do yourself a favor and skip this one and drive right thru:)!

-Unbeatable location!-A real haven for owners of smaller dogs and cats. -Great staff (finally!)I know. I have lived here for over seven years and I DO NOT give good reviews when they are not warranted!This is a continuation of an earlier review in which I said that, with their current staff in the office, this place at THIS location should ...no will...be fantastic! The previously mentioned concerns still apply because it is, after all, an older facility and the ONE major suggestion I would have is that you "discover" what you can about the hvac and water heater setup. Run hot water..listen to the water heater etc. Also try to detect heat or cold leaks. This is important. Visit on a hot or cold day maybe.So perhaps I should rate it somewhere between four and five. Still, what I just wrote about are the major concerns, which are not that bad so...Other than that...go for it! You are surrounded with an almost village atmosphere which, to my knowledge, exists no place else in Carmel, the schools are fantastic, and younger teens can walk to many places safely on their own (with the usual warnings about idiot drivers, older teens for example, of course).

I needed to update this post-I wrote this review when the old manager Angela was there she has recently left and it had gone down hill. I think there has been 3 new managers since she's left in the past few months. Don't expect a quick response to either email or phone call. They never answer the office phone or return voicemail in a timely fashion. Make sure you get anything they say in writing because they change what they say or say what they told you was not true.

See multiple earlier reviews!Just for the record, that darned dog next door has spent the better part of the day barking its head off (metaphorically speaking, of course...otherwise, though it might be a bit messy, the problem would be solved for me).Also my fireplace has run for 48 hours now...wonder what that will cost...maybe I can take the added heating cost off of my rent(:-)No sign of John or anyone else from maintenance to try to seal up for cold weather.

An absolutely superb place to liveThe property is always clean and the residents are friendlyThe leasing and maintenance team are so friendly and helpful.

Governor Square Is a fantastic complex that couldn't be better located to all the happenings Carmel has to offer. As a vendor they have been incredibly pleasant to work with. The staff is responsive and always looking for ways to improve the resident experience.

Good service and friendly neighbors. I've lived here for a couple of years now and haven't had many problems.

Good place to live if you don't care about your things breaking and maintenance not being able to fix it for months. I will list the pros and cons:Pros:Probably the cheapest place to live in carmelVERY spacious bedroomsGreat people live in the neighborhood, some are really kind Cons:The office rarely ever answers the phoneCheap appliances and featuresIt was a HASSLE moving here. My roommates and I moved from out of town and we had a date set up to come see our new place. They rescheduled us 5 times (hour and 55 minute drive there and back each time) because they told us the property was not ready yet. Each time closer and closer to our move out date until finally we had to get mean and tell them we needed to see the property or we would move on. Pool was not open for a considerable amount of time during the summer not worth the price at all. You are paying to live in carmel Very outdated features. These were built decades ago and they have kept a ton of old outdated things in the unitsPests. We see a ton of pests... Huge Spiders, Centipedes, ants, you name it. Even though we are charged every month for pest control. This likely has to do with there being 2-3 openings in the house for bugs to come in through. Our attic is not closed to the outdoors and the attic door is not sealed so they come from there. maintenance- terrible. Since everything is old and outdated you have to often put in work orders. Typically they don't show up for around 1-2 weeks and when they do they look at the issue and say "they need to order a new part" then they do not show up with said part until you call or show up at the office. But when it comes to making more money... they're on it. They are also doing renovations on the properties to make them look better and attract more customers. We all received an email stating an apology about work orders taking longer (as if they always have not) because they are short staffed. But it's obviously because they are making renovations. This is an honest review. Not really the people in the offices fault but probably Buckinghams. Do better.

Started out great, moved in during Covid no issues, I refused to live in a blue county with a fascist mayor. Then things fell apart.. they decided to close our po this year from 6-9 the only time I could swim.. because they can't figure out a way to not let rando's in.. simple give us a fob and change out the gate to an electronic entrance and install cameras.. no other pool in the city is closing off their pools.. then they started charging me rental insurance.. even though I sent a screen shot proof that I was still paying their rental insurance.. now I'm up at 7 am to the entire building shaking because they are renovating the apartment under me.. for the 4th month in a row. The people moved out February.. they have been working on this 3months.. so I can't use my pool and I can't sleep. But hey nice dog park.

I would like to give an update on my review I posted on 9/22/17 that just so happens to be deleted. My issues have still gone unnoticed. I am already looking for a new place upon my departure in one year. After several calls to management, who has no concern for the tenants, I am so unsatisfied with living here. I do not recommend living here until a new more experienced management team takes over and experienced maintenance workers are hired or else you will be completely unsatisfied and will waste your time and money.
