This is a nice community, the apartments are nice, the staff is kind, and maintenance is prompt, but my biggest issue is that my apartment reeks of smells that don't belong to me and there is nothing anyone can do about it :(.
This community has a lot of ethnic tenants (which is fine), and many of the tenants are of the same nationality. I'm no expert but I believe the smells come from them cooking traditional meals or just using traditional perfumes/oils--- their homes have strong smells which somehow enter my home ALL THE TIME and it drives me CRAZY. The smells are VERY STRONG and no perfume, air freshener, or fans will remove it. I recently had company and the first thing they said upon entering was "what is that smell." No one wants to hear that when friends or family come over, but that is my life now.
Realistically you could get lucky and move into an apartment that does not have ethnic tenants all around yours, but because this community is majority ethnic, the likelihood of that happening is slim.
After a while you get used to it, but truthfully you won't ever want to have company and you will always be concerned that your clothing or hair also smell like your apartment :(. Again, the community as a whole is fine, but if I had known what I would have to deal with in advance, I would not have chosen to move here.
Lastly--- the only other complaint is the counter-tops SUCK. They are not waterproof. If water is left on them too long, the counter-top will fade leaving white spots. Very weird to me, I have never experienced that in an apartment before, just need to be careful if you do decide to live here.
