Review History for tenfold

OK complex

Well I am a bit surprised by tons of negative stuff that I see here. This apartment complex has its pros and cons but I can`t say it is a nightmare. I`ve been living here for 2.5 years without major issues so far. Good stuff: - large apartments - (usually) no problem with parking - has 5 pools, well maintained area - maintenance is good, all orders are done promptly (so far). Has free pest control service. - has shuttle service (although I use it only a couple of times per year) - convenient location for TMC people - office staff is nice (at least to me although I don`t show there too often) Bad stuff: - some criminal activity from time to time. I saw a patrolling police officer not sure if that helped. - prices go up. This is ridiculous. Come on, 900 bucks for a 1 bedroom in this complex? Back in spring I was lucky to negotiate my price down to what I`ve paid so far but my friends say the management has recently stopped negotiations and raised prices up to $150 more per 1 bedroom. People start to leave - and they don`t need to go far, we have good options literally across the street.If the management won`t understand it and keep the prices down to where they were they will lose a lot of tenants, including me. - shuttle breaks from time to time. Most of the time it is backed up by the Coach but that`s not a good sign. Tokens went from $1 to $2 per trip. That is an overkill. - the complex is fairly old. Communication lines break, sometimes we see water fountains inside - and we are all paying for it since the bill is divided between everybody. This complex is wasting a lot of water to water the grass - majority of it goes down the drain and is not absorbed. That is a luxury nowadays. Overall it is an OK complex but given recent price jump I won`t recommend it to a friend, unless he or she doesn`t care about the money. Although for those ppl we have Camden complex right next. If the prices go down to the 2010 level ( inflation adjustments) - then it is a decent deal I think.
