This place seems fine at first, until there's a maintenance issue, or something that goes wrong, or you have to park, or deal with management... you get where this is going; then it becomes the absolute worst place you could ever live.
The parking situation is terrible.. there aren't enough spaces for all the apartments, and the layouts are terrible. There are abandoned vehicles used as storage lockers in the closest spaces that don't move and take years to get towed away, and there are spaces still marked as handicapped with apartment numbers on them that have new residents that are not handicapped... so they just remain empty spaces. Don't get back after 8 pm or you won't even have a chance of parking near your apartment.
If you have/like pets, don't move in here. They make up random rules about how much it will cost you to have a pet... one person on my block paid a $100 up-front fee for a cat, another was overcharged $250 up-front, and we got told it was $50 / mo. There's no consistency here, and that's pretty shady...
You can't pay rent online like other places that have embraced modern technology.
The appliances are old, poorly maintained and break down frequently. Don't ever rent a first floor apartment, because all the problems with water leaks from washers, dishwashers, toilets, showers, etc will destroy everything below.
Side note: the dryer in the unit vents NOT outside... but right back into the bathroom! What?! I'm pretty sure that's terrible to breath in and also a fire-hazard.
Our washing machine overflowed 3 times in one year, and rather than replace it they just kept "fixing it"... well good job on that one.. seeing as it wasn't fixed.
Most recently our toilet feed line broke (because it was a cheap, plastic fitting, not metal... they couldn't spare the extra $1 for that one) while I was at work, flooding the entire bathroom, washroom, hallway, and part of the den, living room and bedroom. When the maintenance team was there they were making comments like "oh it was a plastic fitting? yup, saw that one coming." Note, that the den and bedroom were separated from the bathroom by walls... so that just goes to show how poorly sealed everything was. The downstairs neighbor had her entire apartment destroyed by this 2 hour long water leak. When maintenance showed up they vacuumed the water, told me they had no towels and then recommended that I (yes... me, not them) dry the bathroom real well so I don't get mold... The walls were scuffed up by their carelessness and there was dirt left everywhere in my tub and sink.
After going against my recommendation of removing the padding from the soggy carpet they just put fans in overnight... now everything reeks of mildew and is stained. They went on to tell me that the stains were from a dog... funny because we don't have a dog, which means they chose not to replace it 3 years ago when we moved in, but lied to us in telling us the carpet was "brand new" when we arrived. They refused to put new carpet in, and wanted me to continue to pay them an overpriced amount for rent and allow them to just shampoo the carpet. The property manager and most of the maintenance staff are careless, disrespectful, and will do anything they can to save a buck rather than save a resident. Terrible, terrible, terrible.. DO NOT MOVE IN HERE!
