This past week has been a roller coaster for residents of the Flagstaff Village Apartments just off South Milton Road.
Residents were informed last week that the 80-unit apartment complex that had been owned by the local Levitan Investment Properties & Services had been sold to another company. A day later, via an email and a letter posted to each of their doors, residents were informed that none of them would have their leases renewed.
With most tenants using month-to-month leases, nearly everyone has until Sept. 30 to pack up their belongings and find a new place to call home. Other tenants who had previously signed six-month leases would have until Dec. 31 to leave.
“I woke up to go to work and there was this letter taped to my door and it was really shocking,” said David Ellsworth, who has lived in his apartment for nearly a decade. “This was just so out of the blue, and I really don’t know what I’m going to do. I’m just trying to find something. I don’t fault Levitan properties at all because they’ve been such a great management team. I’ve never had trouble with them, but this was just so sudden.”
