The Donovan

Wow! We pulled up after dark and witnessed the impressive lights of the Donovan's signs guiding us home. We had a reservation in the guest suite, arranged by friends who live here. What an amazing community! Gabby greeted us with a bright smile, and showed us the amenities and personality escorted us in (after hours). She said how much she loved working at the community. It's so refreshing to meet people who love their work. The quality of every detail is FIVE star! too many things to list! Thanks Pam, and everyone who has created this beautiful sanctuary we got to call home. As a Yelper, there are times when it's an obligation to the Yelp community to give fives Stars to a business, this is one of those posts! I highly recommend the Donovan Apartments

I am new to The Donovan so still exploring and experiencing all it has to offer but at first pass I am truly pleased. Moving across country is stressful and Sabrina from the Staff has made my leasing and newcomer experience very easy, pleasant and welcoming. She has been essential to me having a great experience here. She is a gem! I also want to shout out to Alex who has handled some of the apartment hiccups - he is terrific!

I've now lived here for a little under a year- when we started living here it was under a previous manager who was AWESOME. That manager has since left and everything went downhill for me and my family exponentially. Everytime I call they act as though I am a burden to speak to and get information for- they consistently have issues with keeping strangers out of the pool and the number of guests to a minimum and make it everyone's burden and punishment with nasty emails. We pay for valet trash service here and they repeatedly have left rude messages on our door saying the trash is too heavy so they can't roll it out on their cart. We paid a premium price to be at this apartment complex and are consistently treated like absolute trash, not only by the staff but they have allowed what I would think to be nothing short of kids living in trap houses to move in. Our neighbors brand new corvette was stolen the first night he moved in here. At the end of the day this place has turned into such a horrible place to be we felt forced out of our home and bought a place that would be safer for our family. 0/10 would never pay a dime to stay here another moment it is absolutely not worth the trouble they put on you. edit: after posting this very honest review I was promptly called by the property manager who took my review extremely personally- to her credit she's right to criticize me in saying that crime is not her fault, or the lack of 3rd party performance for services that go through them and I have to pay for on my utilities statement through their rental portal. It felt more to me like a deflection of responsibility as after the conversation was over none of what made me upset or to feel unsafe was addressed more of "it's not my fault why did you blame it on me?" It was also followed by calling my co workers mom to let them know that my behavior and presence and this review was bad behavior in their eyes, the days that followed I had negative comments and hostile behaviorat my place of work from two employees because of me sharing my experience. I wished it was more of a productive conversation so others don't feel the same way I do about this place and I wish I did not feel harassed at my place or employment because of my experience here- because I used to be so proud to live here and bring my son everywhere with me and use the amenities here. Now I don't, I feel scared to speak out now about the things that have made me feel forced to move me and my family out of my home and it makes me so sad that it is this way. When I signed my lease I was more than happy to stay for the whole period of time now I've had to pay 4500 to break my lease and feel my family is safe and more importantly welcome in my own home elsewhere.

The Donovan is amazing! We just moved in & we love it. The staff is so kind and made our move in process a breeze. The amenities are amazing, everything is clean, and our apartment alone is just perfect.
