Review History for anonymous

Re-writing my review!

I originally had nice things to say about this community. That was when we had Kit and a professional and understanding management staff. I am VERY unhappy with how far this community has fallen in just the short time that the new management has taken over. First, they roped off parking spaces for no reason other than to elicit residents to purchase reserved parking. The excuses provided may have been bought by a naive or uneducated person, but everyone I spoke to in the complex knew otherwise. The excuse by one person was that they were saving some spaces for reserved areas. This is a tad closer to the truth; except that these spaces were in very odd places and nowhere near an area that one would pay for reserved parking. They took over half of an entire parking garage. When I asked the manager, her body language looked uneasy and I was told that they were working on repaving areas. Funny, the areas were never repaved and the rope was removed after flyers were circulated by unhappy residents. I think what has drawn the line in the sand is that I received notice of my rent increase and a happy little flyer attached saying that even though they are ripping us off and extorting us (paraphrasing here) that it is still cheaper than moving. They itemized a list of all of the expenditures that are required to move. These statistics are of course exaggerated. The funny thing is that when I modified the statistics to what real costs are, I am actually saving quite a bit of money moving to another apartment than I would paying the 15% increase for an apartment that isn't even worth the rent that I pay for now. If I saw things in the community that were a benefit to me, I could understand somewhat of a rent increase. But we have still not received the cameras we were promised (despite numerous car break-ins, car wheels stolen, and a home invasion). There are missing lights throughout many areas of the buildings. Additionally it costs almost $2 for a tiny load of laundry because the washing rates have increased dramatically. It is almost as expensive to do your own laundry as it is to have it sent out to clean. I am not happy and I will not be renewing unless I see something change on my rent offer or benefits dramatically increase.
