I've had my fair share of parking tickets, boots, and tows. I'd say close to 7 times but who's counting. After many angry phone calls and lots of money later, I was able to pay it off. Honestly, at this point I understand I'm a bad driver and parker, but that doesn't mean I can't help other people! So here's a list of apartment complexes in Starkville that tow/boot.
*DISCLAIMER*: every business has the right to tow you but here are places that openly advertise
Student Living Apartment
These places are the scum of the Earth (but that's a whole other article).
ANYWAYS...
1. Helix
The amount of money I've given Parrish Towingfrom this apartment complex is embarrassing. They towed me during a HURRICANE! Helix has no remorse and will call to get your car towed. The best thing about Helix is they boot you before they tow it, so you still have time to grab your car before they haul it off <3. (You still have to pay money to get the boot off though)
2. Social Campus
Social has the WORST visitor parking I've ever experienced. They have two parking lots for the entire complex and they tow very frequently. I've learned they don't tow during the day, only at night. So move your car before 12 AM
3. Campus Trails
Campus Trails advertise that they tow, however, I have left my car there many times and have not gotten towed. I actually leave my car there at night to walk over to Social Campus pretty frequently. Also, my friend that lives at Campus Trails says that they do not tow. Thanks, Campus Trails :)
4. College View
College View is an absolute BEAST when it comes to towing. I've heard stories of people leaving their car parked and coming back ten minutes later to find it towed. If you ever go to College View, DO NOT DRIVE. Honestly, I would just walk. They tow all day every day. It's not worth paying the towing fee and going all the way down Hwy 12 to get it back.
5. The Vista
The Vista also likes to tow. I don't know why considered the people that live there pay so much fricken money. I would be mad too if I got towed from my own apartment complex. But I guess that's the price you have to pay for living in the Cotton District. I would think twice about parking anywhere near the Vista. I had a friend that parked there LEGALLY and got towed.
6. Lakeside
Lakeside is relatively close to the towing company that's here in Stark but coincidently they don't tow. You can park anywhere you want for however long and don't have to worry about your car.
7. Aspen heights
I don't know if Aspen changed their policy on towing/visiting after the crimes that happened. However last year when I would visit Aspen, I didn't have to worry about being towed. I can't say for certain if they don't tow now, however, if they did not update their policy then go ahead and park.
8. The Retreat
The Retreat has a handbook that explicitly states what you can and can't do while parking. It doesn't look like they take too kindly to visitor parking because their resident parking rules are pretty extensive. It states you can't park ANY motor vehicle without first signing and registering. I don't know how frequently the tow companies roll through this place but be cautious.
