Review History for anonymous

reality

i have read all of the comments about this place. i did this before i moved in and after living here for 4 months. here's the truth as i see it from a mid-level apartment..<br><br>1. ants: yup. but we only ever had them in our apartment once and they were in a straight line to the sugar bowl which is now empty and i haven't had any since. I DO GET THEM IN MY CAR IF I PARK IN CERTAIN PLACES. and i have heard from other residents that they have SERIOUS ant problems in their building but i have not experienced it myself at this time.<br><br>2. roaches: dear lord! we are in georgia people, there are bugs here. i have seen the same "roaches" in many places, both public and private; indoors and out. i don't know if they are palmettos or actual roaches, all i know is that the ones that I'VE seen are not the garbage-induced type. If you have those, either you need to clean better or your neighbor does. I've never seen any of those.<br><br>3. centipedes (or something that looks like them): ok, these suckers freak me out and we see 1 or 2 a week in our apartment on a regular basis. they are fast so if you try and kill them, you need to be fast too.<br><br>4. maintenance: i have never had a problem with maintenance. they fix what's broken and do it in a timely manner. that's not to say that i enjoy needing their services.. i've had three fairly major problems since we've moved here. but it could've been worse if it wasn't taken care of well so i'm taking it as the fact that this is not a brand-spankin'-new complex that shouldn't have issues. <br><br>5. office staff: ok, they are not the most 'together' people i have ever come across; however, most of them are really nice and have been very accomodating (and i can be a pain in the butt; i know i've definately challenged their patience). <br><br>6. price/space: i have NOTHING to complain about here. our place is HUGE, especially for the money. and money aside, it's still BIG and LIGHT and AIRY. and the money is great for the location. if i wanted to pay less i can go live in one of the cheaper complexes in the area, or as i like to call them "little mexico". don't get me wrong, i have no ill-feelings towards -------- or mexico in general. but those places seem to be in complete disarray and with gang markings all over the place. which brings me to...<br><br>7. neighbors: there is a diversity in race among the renters here. if you can't handle that, move to a location that is still quietly segregated towards what you prefer, but don't move here. however, if you like diversity and different cultures, this is a great place. <br><br>8. safety: i don't like that there is obvious "crime" here.. 2 flyers about break-ins in 4 months is a lot to me. we lived in a fairly exclusive place before this one and received similar notices. so it happens.<br><br>9. amenities: we don't use them enough to comment on them.<br><br>OVERALL: we love it here. it has it's problems but the pros outweight the cons for us. we're close to everything, our apartment is big for a reasonable price and it has lots of light and openness. <br><br>you will get different opinions from different people with different problems. we can only speak for what we've experienced and wanted to offer a balanced, unbiased view of living here that is not clouded by resentment, anger, or the fact that for all apartments the leasing staff often posts their own ratings.
