Review from the web

I lived here for 3 years. Only planned for short term, then COVID happened. Decided to stay put for a couple more years. When I moved out I thought for sure I would owe money (as apartments complex's like to nickel and dime). However, I thought Polo Club was more than fair and thought what they charged me out of my deposit was fair. Great apartment, Great management and the price is amazing being in WDM and close to everything. If you pay your rent on time and don't act a fool, they will treat you right! Trista in the office the best!!!

Review from the web

Teressa Kesterson deserves a raise! We were having a very hard time with our application process, and she was amazing every step of the way. All of the management was gone for a conference, and she was handling everything by herself. She always responded very quickly, with phenomenal customer service. Even though we ended up not getting approved, I’m still very happy with our experience. I’m honestly sad we won’t get to have her as our management at the apartments we ended up at. We love her!
