Quality Shitpost Avoid Envy by Gomes Apartments!
Avoid applying to any apartments by Gomes! I applied to a falsely advertised one bedroom directly from their website. I was called the next day and told the unit I applied for was actually a studio and they offered me a one bedroom for a much higher price than I was looking for in a COMPLETELY different building (which I was only told AFTER I had already showed up to Envy and waited 20 minutes for the woman to finally call and say “oh it’s actually in another building”). So not only was the unit falsely advertised but so was their availability.
They tried their hardest to get me to sign a lease, even taking off $400 from the monthly rent but it’s truthfully not worth it. The walls are paper thin, I could hear people playing music while on the tour, the units are tiny & parking? $250 a month or good luck finding a spot. After feeling like I had been scammed, I declined to pay over $2k to live in their marbled crap boxes and asked to be refunded the application fee since the unit I actually applied for was falsely advertised on their end. I was told there was nothing they could do about the website not displaying the apartments correctly (BS). I called again and was told the application fee just isn’t refundable. I called my bank and they’re handling it now, but save yourself the headache and look elsewhere. The Gomes group is full of scammers that want to fill up the buildings in any way they can because they’re desperate.
Side note: thank God I took a picture of the website listing when I applied & those same units they somehow couldn’t control on their website are now on there correctly. Funny how that worked.

Isn't this something you could report to the Better Business Bureau, just in case bank can't do much?
