Not Recommended
I just finished my one year at this place and I agree with 90% of the negatives posted by others. Insects are definitely a problem, but management will only do the minimum effort to do anything about it. They need to do a massive extermination of the whole complex to get rid of the insects. Management is almost invisible. The office hours are a joke. Do not believe the posted hours. Opening a half hour late, closing a half hour early, and being closed for an hour during lunch time are the real hours. I still haven't figured out why they need to close for lunch since there are almost always at least three people there. All of the staff needs to learn what customer service really means. Parking is terrible. The parking lots are a maze. There are actually 4 separate parking lots that are not connected with each other. Street parking is difficult to find after normal working hours. The street sweeper comes both Mondays and Tuesdays, for different sides of the street. The city must make a lot of money from parking tickets here. The place is old. It's not a slum yet, but it's definitely headed that way. They… See More>anonymous

HORRIBLE PLACE!!! RENTERS BEWARE!!!
When I had first moved into the Mercer's I was excited. The day I moved in I decided to take a look at my apartment before I moved my stuff in. I opened the kitchen drawer and there was a dead roach! I complained about it right away. After one week of living at the Mercers I had roaches every where in my apartment. I am a very clean person and never lived with roaches so this was something new and a very horrible experience for me. Within 4 months of me living there the exterminator came to my apartment 9 times. Within 4 months I haven't cooked one single meal and barely kept food in my kitchen. The roaches just kept coming out. When I first moved in the floor wasn't clean. The bathroom still had mold in the shower heads and my counter was sticky from the glossy paint they put on top to make it look shiny. Now living here for 7 months I have noticed a lot of coverup things in my apartment. My floor in my master bedroom just started to cave in so now I have to call them… See More>lolu80

hurrable place
i don't reccomend this place to any one. i live at it. lots of problems . parking is so bad even if you have your own spot. spots are so small. fittness center is very basic,broken epuipment all the time and too crowded most of the time. laundry room consists of 6 washers and six drayers for a building that has like 200 people and there is always atleast one broken machine.heater and air condicioners are so old and in a very bad condition. it will take you for ever to feel them if you even lucky enough to feel them.plumbing is bad, electric problems all the time. most importantly, this place is infested with"roaches" badly . they never tell you any of that.you dont see them when you move in but before you know it they are all over the place. you complain about and they tell you that you need to move everything out of your closets and cabinets so they can come and spray. alot of work to do all of that and roaches are gone for no more than a week. mangement, very nice and sweet before you sign the lease. you sign the lease and they become… See More>anonymous

Commendations For A Great Service Manager
Just a short missive pointing out how capable and sincere our Service Manager Christopher Carro is to all tenants here at Mercer Apartments. Rather than hearing the usual complaints, it is very pleasurable to hear how pleased the tenants are with him. This is a great reflection on you and your organization. Having been Vice President of a major corporation I can understand how pleased you must be to have someone like Chris working for you. I tip my hat to you. Tenant Arthur J. Brenner Apt A417

Gag Me!
Worse experiences ever! No parking (for the entire first floor and street parking has street sweeping twice a week, so be prepared to get lots of tickets if you forget to move your car) Dirty hallways Flooding from above Mold in the walls Cockroaches everywhere (little brown ones that run across your keyboard and your food and your bed at night) Nonexistent management Unlocked security gates Dirty laundry rooms Dog poop everywhere. Other than that, it was great!

My experience with Mercer
Maybe i'm the lucky one but i got good service from the girls at the office. Same thing about the guys in maintenance. I never had a problem with them and i think after 2 years i can say that its a great place to live in.

Disgusting Place
Let me tell you about Experiencing The Mercer. I did for a year, and it was terrible. The staff won't ever pick up the phone and they always have the door locked at the office and won't come to the door (Be back in 30 minutes it says but they will not). I don't believe all three people went out to show apartments at the same time. The halls smell like garbage and feces with NO ventilation. The carpet is so dirty it is black in places in the halls and the walls are mucous green. There is piss urine stains on the wall and smeared dried FECES on the walls in the stairwell that is located second to last northwesterly stairwell of building E. Yes, it was like that for a year. The washing machines are constantly broken with doors ripped hanging off and sewer gas coming out of the overflow drain in the laundry room of the same building. The parking gate is constantly clacking really loud every time a cars rolls through it. The gates pedestrian gates are never locked. There is roaches - and I mean BAD. The windows suck and rattle and don't seal. Water pressure is… See More>anonymous

Arrogant front office girl
The front office girl doesn't show the basic manners. i think her name is esia/vesia something. if you see some one arrogant in the office then it should be definitely her. She thinks that she is the daughter of the US President. she is very uncivilized & uncultured girl. i think the management hasn't done even a basic interview before appointing her. if she is continuing here for a few more months the bussiness is going to be ruined.

Don't live here
Office staff takes care of nothing. This is the worst building we have ever lived in. It would take way too long to express all the issues. Save yourself the trouble and don't even bother looking.

very nice place to live
I have to admit that the maintenance guys are right there when you need em, the office staff is proffessional and overall I havent even seen a tenant raise his voice outside of their own homes. The amenities are very good and the rent is reasonable for this area of the valley. Central air, large balconies..... what's not to like?

Please don't ever move here!!!!
This is by far the worst place I've ever lived! I get chills even thinking back about living here or even just passing by! I've never seen so many roaches in my entire life!!! It's unbelievable.... Words could never describe how bad it really is! I also had my first haunted experience in and around the elevator here! :( just stay far away from this place... It's bad news!

Experience Mercer = Wasted Experience
This complex is by far the worst I ve ever had the misfortune of encountering. Management is not knowledgeable; to be honest they are completely incompetent, a class of 4th graders would do a better job. Many of the advertised features are actually available. Maintenance is practically non-existent. You have to track someone down to have an issue looked at and there is a high likelihood that once the technician leaves because needs tools or a replacement part he will not return to complete the job. If safety is a concern of yours then The Mercer will disappoint. Only one gate locks and it is usually broken which makes the complex completely open to any and all visitors. If you visit the Mercer for a tour, take note of the BBQ grills, most are broken and have been the entire year that I have lived here. Also take a look at the gutters, their repair duct tape some plastic on them so the water funnels somewhere else, yet another feature that has not been addressed. While touring the complex make sure you point out the animal waste that… See More>babyboom223

Live at Mercer at your own risk.
Mercer does not provide basic living conditions. You do not have to take it. Let the headquarters know in whiting and by calling them http://experiencesequoia.com/ and don t be afraid to talk to an attorney. We got out of a 12 month lease with our deposit back.

first of all, you can only get internet and tv from direct tv (monopoly). they add on some bullcrap fees to your rent. we've called the cops 3 times and the "courtesy" patrol about 100 times on our neighbors who scream and wrestle and play video games untill 5am 7 days a week (our neighbors below us think its us and complain about us, mgt has threatend to evict us lol) we had ROACHES for 6 weeks! mgt didnt really care, we had our entire kitchen in bags in our living room for 4 weeks. we were about to move when the problem was finally resolved. no reinbursment, they dont care.still see roaches around the property. hallways smell like rotten indian food (all the time) elevators barely move and have expired certification. windows and sliding door arent sealed pool sucks cheapest rent around but others are starting to be competitve waiting for lease to expire
