The worst place I have ever lived:
I lived at Alphada Place for about a year and a half, while I was working on a Master's degree program and teaching at Kent State University, and it was by far the worst apartment I have ever lived in.
During my first few months there, I had issues with my fridge leaking and a bad clog in my bathroom sink (rendering it unusable). After multiple times contacting the office over the span of a few weeks to have maintenance repair them, I finally managed to get them to come out and fix my sink. The leak in my refrigerator was never fixed during the entire time I lived there.
When summer came, I found out that my AC unit wasn't working either. This also took multiple weeks to fix, and because we were hit with a heatwave, I had to go out and buy an AC unit of my own so that I could live in my apartment. When they finally did come out to fix it, they did not install the correct size, so there were one-inch gaps around parts of the unit where bugs could easily get in. To keep that from happening, I had to stuff paper towels around it.
Right after giving my thirty-days notice at the end of April, I was notified that I had never paid my heating bill through their third-party billing company. I complained to the office because I had never received a bill, but it turned out that the information was never changed over from a previous tenant, so they dropped all of the late fees.
Having such a bad experience and worrying that they would try to screw me out of my deposit, I made sure to have someone stay over with me, and the two of us spent a few days thoroughly cleaning the entire apartment. Even after that, I was given two separate vaguely worded charges on my tenant ledger for "damages/shampoo" ($125 and $85) with no explanation of what they entail. I contacted the office to inquire about what those are for, but I am still waiting to hear back.
Based on my experience, I would never recommend Alphada Place or Castle Apartments to anyone, and if you already live there, I would encourage you to document everything as I did.

Alphada Place - Poor Living Conditions:
Filthy when we moved in. I spent six hours cleaning. The doors and windows do not seal, causing condensation on the window and wall in the bedroom. This in turn caused mold problems. Cockroaches and other bugs. Neighbors were loud to say the least. Cops were called numerous times and even threatened to beat someone's door down. Numerous break ins. Three at least that we knew of in our building alone. We never felt safe. Once you move out, they try to cheat you out of your deposit. I left it cleaner than I got it and they are charging me an $85 cleaning fee. They are also never there during scheduled office hours. Read more at
