This place is a complete dump. I wouldnt let my dog stay here. The first time i walked into my unit (located in hawthorne 2), i had about 20 fleas jump on me. We were allowed to move in early, so if there was "management" really "doing walk-throughs to make sure our unit was ready to be moved into" wouldn't they have noticed the fleas??? One of my roommates and i had to clean about 10 times before they were all gone. Almost all of the outlet covers in the house were broken! The transition piece on the floor going from the living room to the dining room was missing! im talking a LOT of it was missing, a large gap of cement was just there. Were they just not going to do anything about any of that??? The screening on the back porch was all torn up, and our door was also broken. I dont know how they "didnt see" any of this before we moved in. As paying residents, NO ONE should have to walk into their unit, and immediately have to make MULTIPLE maintenance requests on the very first day. As far as the actual maintenance goes, they do a good job, and perform at a timely manner the very first month or so, but after that they will either take MONTHS to do any work, or just not do anything at all! Multiple times my roommate and i put in requests for an AC unit to be put into our rooms upstais, and since they IGNORED it, we had to buy abiut 7 fans between us. Finally, we had enough and went up to the office to say we wanted units now. The maintenance people came alright, but purposely threw the ac packaging all over our lawn, leaving a huge mess. Also, if they know these units are so crappy, and KNOW its ALWAYS HOTTER UPSTAIRS THAN IT IS DOWNSTAIRS, WHY WOULDNT THE UNIT ALREADY COME W AN AC UNIT IN BOTH UPSTAIRS BEDROOMS??? its not rocket science, people. Our dishwasher broke multiple times, and again, had the same problem with maintenance taking over 6 months to come by and try to resolve the problem. Then theres the security issue. This property is located on the other side of campus, which is already known for high crime. There is no sense of security in this neighborhood. my roommate/7 other people in hawthorne had their cars broken into on the FIRST WEEK, our house was attempted to be broken into MULTIPLE TIMES of the year, and there was a shooting a couple of units down. The managements solution was "adding lights" to the front of every unit, at the end of the year, after everything had happened. They need to somehow add more security to the neighborhood. This explains somewhat why they have such a low retention rate in hawthorne, and everyone moves out in the summer. Lastly, theres the issue of just how crappy the units are overall. When you go on a tour of the model unit, it doesnt look so bad. The model makes it look as though its not as nice as some of the other, more expensive places on the other side of campus, but it could still be cozy and feel like home. This is okay though, because we're all broke college students, right? WRONG. As stated earlier, when we all first walked in, we had a bunch of stuff wrong in our unit. The management will fill your head with lies of "constantly renovating the units" but will never do so. They promised us new stairs, and we never got them, as well as a new paint job on our upstairs tub, and they also never fixed the big ass cracks in my bedroom walls. If they were really doing so, wouldnt they have seen ALL the imperfections stated in the beginning of this tale? The units are infested with all sorts of bugs, so keep a can of raid by your bed like i had to. Also there's critters. My roommate had a footlong red skink come out of her room. All i can say, is that you truly get what you pay for here. You're better off risking your life/getting robbed and living in Park Place/The Grove/Aspen or saving up more and living on the nice side of campus in a more secure place like The Hamptons/Monarch 301/The Forum. If you cant tell, i hated it here, and will never live near/rent from hendley properties ever again.
In summary, Hawthorne is alright. Not bad for the price, and the community around is very safe feeling. Don't get your expectations up though, you get what you pay for, this isn't the Hamptons.
I'm writing this review after having lived in Hawthorne apts for 1 1/2 years.
Hendley Properties is the way to go. My boyfriend locked himself out of his apartment late on a Saturday, but they were there with a master key within 10 minutes. Always super helpful with any problem you have.
First of all Hawthorne is awesome! The rent is at a great rate! The lowest in all of Statesboro I believe. The people who work in the office are so sweet, and know me on a first name basis. They really care, and don't treat you like just a number in a system. Whenever something is broken maintenance is there to fix it. They show up pronto and with a great attitude! Hawthorne is great!
My experience here overall has been OKAY, there are ups and downs to living here (but keep in mind thats the same as anywhere in town). First off, the management are very nice and helpful and do make you feel at home here. I never had any problems with them and they will let you off the hook for being late on rent (for your first time). The design of the apartments is poor. The roads in Hawthorne are very narrow and makes driving through with traffic a chore. Also, most of hawthorne is located adjacent to a sewage treatment plant, and the smell of raw sewage is noticeable 50% of the time. It never was a problem once inside the apartment for me, but it does make being outside in the area unpleasant. The walls are very thin and the stairs are creaky. The appliances are old and screened in porch was ripped up. There are lots of other minor details but you get the point. Rent was $315 a month + utilities. This seems cheap until you live here over the Summer. The insulation isn't great so expect $300+ power bills June-August (to keep it at 80 degrees all day). Usually though it sums up to under $400 during fall and spring. maintenance is also kind of hit or miss. they usually show up fast but don't solve the issue immediately. Sometimes it takes the third or fourth time to actually fix the problem. All this being said, it is fairly affordable, and compared to all the other places in town, its average. The only downsides I experienced that wouldn't happen at other apartments are having to smell raw sewage, and having to drive to go anywhere. Hawthorne is somewhat isolated and if you don't have a car, its a long way to walk/bike to get anywhere.
This is my favorite rental agency in Statesboro. I've dealt with the others, had business with 2, and this is the easiest experience out of the lot. I've been renting with them for a couple of years now and when I call them about an issue it's solved that day or the next (if they need to contract a professional.) Actually, it took them less than 3 minutes to arrive and help me get back into my place when I locked myself out. Another point, my particular area is much less prone to any crime. So, I'll be living here for awhile longer :) Hope this helps your search.
