I don't know who are posting the 5-star reviews but those are way off. At best it is a 3 star place and only b/c to be in the hood, it's ok. No one bothers you. The neighbors seem friendly. And, if you put in a request for service or maintenance, it seems to be handled fairly quickly - at least thats been my exper. so far.
I only signed a short-term lease though b/c I don't like places with inflated water bills - bills so high - you may as well be in a house. Your electric will be high too b/c there's no insulation. There are huge gaps around the doors. Weather and BUGS come in. We killed 5 cock roaches (3 in the same day) within 4 days when we moved in. I guess they came in while the door was open as we were moving in.
The apt units themselves, seem relatively large. However, the larger the apt. the larger you're bill will be! There's no outside storage. There's not a lot of closet space inside either. There is a huge walk in closet that's suppose to make up for that, I think. The appliances work but they are not modern nor updated. Lots of patchwork on the inside. Most apts do that though. At least it's not sloppy patchwork, for the most part. The kitchen and bathroom are small. Thermostat is individually controlled - which is always good - b/c you're not at the mercy of the apt to turn your heat or air on.
I don't understand the point of assigned parking, when there's no one around when someone is in your spot!. I've come home to find someone in my spot. Yet, when we were moving in, they called a damn tow truck on us...likely we came out in time. Speaking of parking, unlike in most complex's you won't be able to look out your window and see your car. This is true for most people here.
There is a 10pm curfew. I suppose to keep mischief down and riff-raft out. As with the pool pass they give you, I guess they don't want unwanted people in the pool - which makes sense.
Overall, again, these are not bad apts. It's just the location. It's not the best location. The area is surrounded by apts though. It does shut down after about 11pm. Not much activity or traffic for a busy street. Unlike on Forest Ln, which never ---- down and the street noise kept us us all night.
They do spray. Aside from the cockroaches mentioned earlier, two small roaches and a few bugs we've never seen, the problem does seem contained. I suggest you bomb out your place and seal all cracks and openings as we did if you do move here. The people in the office seem nice. I've not really dealt with them that much but when I have, they seem pleasant and helpful.
I would just suggest to everyone considering to visit for yourself, if possible. Visit day and night. Ask questions of the residents. Ask to see the actual apt you will be renting, if available. Most places do - do that now. Considering what you'll be paying, that's the least they can do. My one year lease is almost up and I won't be resigning but I would resign if I had too and I would recommend this place. I would give this place 2.5 out of 5 stars easily. 3 overall based on my own experience.
I will amend this review if I take pics before we leave. But, overall, the apt is as stated above. Not the Taj Mahal, but not a shelter either. I have lived in better but I haven't lived in worst. At the end of the day, these apts aren't bad. They just need updating and need to be in a better location - which is not possible - lol...the water bill, should be adjusted too!
