Fair Location, Parking is Scarce, No Sound Insulation

I lived at the Mirage for 14 months, so it wasn´t intolerable - it just wasn´t enjoyable. <br> <br>Parking is a problem. The lots are full after 10PM and it´s a long walk from the East lot to the West Buildings. My car was towed one time because it "looked abandoned". I was out of town for a month and came back to a missing car and $200 (cash only) to get it back. Management told me it was ´tough luck´. <br> <br>Crime is a problem in the parking lot. On two occassions, criminals broke into my car. I had hub caps stolen off one car. It can happen anywhere, but it seems to happen more often here. <br> <br>The apartments are designed like old college dorms, or more aptly, prison. The halls are long and dark, and usually there are juveniles loitering in the hallway. It´s not unsafe, it´s just creepy. <br> <br>The "Classic" units are run down. Frequently, you do not have water or air conditioning. You do not have any real control over the air conditioning in your unit. It´s a central unit and the temperature is outside of your circle of influence. It was too cold most of the time which might be good for others. I left windows open to warm up the place. <br> <br>Property Management ranges from very good to apathetic, depending on who you deal with. I had bugs on several occassions and they had it sprayed quickly. Leaking plumbing was fixed within a couple hours. The refrigerator which froze everything, continued to freeze after repair. I could afford to have them come back as they thawed everything in the ´fridge in the repair process. <br> <br>Many times lighting in the parking area was burned out and the lot was dark. On several occassions, the hall lighting was non existant. It took a week to get the lights fixed. <br> <br>This place isn´t horrible, but there are so many places that are better. Much better. <br> <br>
