This place is a joke!!!! The leasing office could not care less. Maintenance goes into your apartment without permission. We once found our drawers had been searched and told the leasing office to which their answer was " we will look into it for you" never to be heard from again, and after we called about 20 times and threatened police action the maintenance man who was in our apartment was transfered but no explanation why he went through our drawers.( SEXUAL DEVIANT). Drugs are rampant IN AND AROUND the building. The place is a ripoff. from the moment you walk in.The staff is really untrustworthy. the pool is a pond of bacteria, and the grills never work. yet we pay ammenity fees up the wazoo....My wife and myself coming in late one night, caught the maintenance man and a leasing office employee coming out of the model apt around 2:30 am smelling like liquor and disheveled.. must of been a great night... The area where the building is located is a warzone for drugs and bums...people getiing shot in front of my window... what else can I say about my stay there.. besides the creepy head of maintenance who was always staring at my wife and daughters...the only good thing about this place is.... I'M GONE!!!... NEVER EVER RENT AT AVALON NORWALK!!! TRUST ME!!!!

Dont live here! People get shot in the face right next to the building. If you dont believe me then feel free to google the shooting on February 4th, 2012. Crack heads and Bums everywhere outside of the building. It is a dangerous area and the rooms are not that nice. They also steal security deposits and the leasing office is very rude. The smell of Mcdonalds also gets into the Vents of the building and will stink up your clothing and bed sheets. Stay away from this place unless you like living in sketchy dangerous areas.

Once you get roped in they treat you like just a number on a door People make accusations that you make noise when their babies cry all the time and dogs bark. Watch cops outside window looking for bullets that was evidence for a homicide and they still raise rent. They don't give s rats @#$ about the residents. I thought this would be a good move Tenants are yuppy snotty young brats that are mainly corporate idiots with no personality. Feels like I'm on metro north on elevator. Is there anyone normal here? ? Go back to your corporate headquarters . Yup heads. !!!

The look of these apartments are nice but the walls are paper thin. I can hear my neighbors discussing work and what clothes they are going to wear, and the seem to be talking at a normal or only slightly elevated volume. The pool which looked great when we first decided tolease but it is often and for no reason turned off for days (Maybe to save money?) and quickly becomes dirty, even to the point that you cant see your own feet if you dangle them in. As said in othere reviews, parking is terrible, this is because avalon actually does not own the parking lot, it belongs to the Riverview building next door. Office Staff is fairly rude but not as bad as some review suggest, I just don't think they have any actual power so as much as they try and help they can't do much for you. I very very much agree with other tenants who say that the staff cares about you right up until the moment you sign that lease, then they couldnt care less. On a positve note the location is convienent though sometimes a magnet for drunks (Thanks to the McDonalds on the ground floor) the gym is nice though!! Overall if you are looking for a place to live and considering Avalon Norwalk I would keep looking. Thats what I will be doing once my lease is up!

I HATED living there, and once we moved out they screwed us out of our security depoosit - STAY FAR, FAR AWAY. if you must live there for some bizarre reason, get an apartment not facing the street unless you love trucks engine braking all night. STAY AWAY
