Resident 2004 - 2008

The good and the bad.

I've been here for about 4 years and here is my experience. The good: 1. The staff, at least the maintenance staff is friendly and fast. Not always the brightest of folks, they usually get fixed what needs fixing and do it quickly. Office staff needs a little more help. 2. The floor plans. I LOVE the actual apartment. The HUGE windows in the apartments on the north side are great and let in a LOT of light. And I love the fact that I can open up my living room windows on the west side of the apartment and my sliding glass door on the east side and get a wonderful cross-breeze is great on days that the weather permits it. Not to mention the back door in the kitchen. 3. New amenities like the the new gym, jungle gym, etc. The pool is also pretty nice and well maintained. 4. Diverse neighbors. There is a very multi-cultural feel to this complex. In the almost 4 years that I've been here we've had Indian, eastern european, middle eastern, white, Mexican, black, and Asian neighbors. MOST of them were very friendly. The Bad: 1. The OTHER neighbors. Like others have mentioned, a lot of drug dealing and using has come and gone through this complex. Our downstairs neighbors that recently moved out were smoking and selling pot at all hours of the day and night. There was a brief period before the new management took over about a year ago that there started to appear actual gang members hanging out, wearing gang colors and mad-dogging every one that drove by. Fortunately that didn't last too long, but I still don't feel safe at times walking my dog at night. My car got broken into the fist few months we were here. 2. Dog crap...no one picks up after their dog. There are also a lot of pit bulls in the area which are supposed to be banned from the complex. 3. The apartments are old and constantly in need of repair. We had to call out maintenance at least 4 times this summer when our air went out and once this winter for the heat. There is mold always growing in the bathroom no matter how much mold remover I spray on it and more spots near the sliding glass door. They recently renovated most of the apartments when the new management company took over, but as we were already here, we did not receive any of the upgrades. Most were cosmetic anyways I'm sure. 4. Like most apartments we get bugs. At least one or two ant swarms a year, centipedes and the occasional palmetto bug. 5. The creek in the back will occasionally smell really bad when it rains. The sewage also seems to back up into the yard when it really rains a lot.
