Review History for anonymous

Let me count the ways I hate this place

Lets begin: 1. When we first moved in our apt. was infested with crickets, that continued unabated for one month. I complained to the staff, but they just said it was happening to them also. 2. Mold in the apt. They placed industrial, jet engine exhaust fans in each bathroom and they cannot be turned off. Everytime you go into the bathroom and turn on the light the fan also comes on and you have no choice about it. They also installed another, but quieter, fan in the kitchen. 3. Lots of kids. I mean, lots. This place is between a middle school and an elementary school, so that means lots of kids. I realize that should have been a tip-off, but I just didn't think about it when I toured the place. 4. An earlier post mentioned "maurading teens", that would be pretty accurate. You can't even park without almost hitting some kid. They are freaking everywhere, all the time. 5. Noisy, mostly because of the kids, but also because of all the racket from ------may-care, rude, tactless, low class scruff fleeing from south Dallas. Yes, urban sprawl has come all the way up to Prosper. 6. Direct-TV and DirecPath have some bribe with the owners, and that was all we could get when we moved in. Now I hear there are other options. However, we had to sign a contract with Dtv. Service has gone out on tv at least three times, and the internet has gone out at least five times. The internet episodes lasted at least three days each time, and when I called for a tech to fix the problem they could only schedule a visit three or more days out. One time I was actually given a date 7, that's right, seven days from the time I called. 7. Cell phones don't work in the apts. You have to go out into the parking lot to make any calls, incoming or outgoing. 8. Water bill is $60 per month! 9. My electricity bill in January was $242, so it's not the cooling bills you have to worry about. 10. Pet deposit, pet fee, plus pet rent. 11. Lawn maintenance shows up at 8 am on the dot on Mondays and wakes all of hell and creation. 12. Apts. are in the middle of the twilight zone, 15 minutes driving for anything, unless you like Wal-Mart. 13. Idiot neighbors put out their dogs on their balconies late at night. Of course, then they bark into the parking lot. This is at midnight or later, and it's more than just one person doing it. 14. Workout "parlor". Don't count on a nice place to work out. 15. Pool is infested with children during the day (during the summer). Just imagine all the pee you could swim in! 16. Maintenance people just walk right in. I had one guy come in while I was watching tv, and he didn't even knock. 17. Overall a very loud place. Strange noises at all hours of the night emanate from our building. There is a loud banging that occurs intermittently and maintenance and staff just look at me as if I'm stoned. Also, neighbors again. Since there are so many kids and teenagers, and trashy people, they don't care to take notice of the fact that other people live here. Some of us actually work from home and need some quiet to work and pay for this wonderful place. Some pluses are: the apt we have is actually quite big: 1200 square feet. Big kitchen and huge pantry. Parking is always available, just don't hit any of the street urchins playing football or smoking joints. Staff has always been nice and helpful. Response time on maintenance issues is ok. Rent is very reasonable but this should have been a flag as to the kind of social element that would be allowed to live here.
