Review History for anonymous

Wouldn't recommend it.

We have lived here for almost 18 months and will not be resigning our lease. I'd like to share our experiences and perspective on being a resident here and you can decide if it's right for you. We were living at Alexan Parkway Apartments in Mckinney and decided to move here to save up some money. We were very shocked to find our electricity bill was higher here, even though the apartment is half the size of what we were previously in. We pay on average $140 dollars a month for electricity and around $80 dollars for water for our 635 square foot apartment! (We were in a 1200sq ft) Also, there is only one choice for power so don't expect options. Our unit seems to be very poorly insulated. Our laundry room and pantry are generally 20 degrees higher or lower than rest of our apartment in relation to outside temperature. The construction is rather average. The countertops, tile, fixtures, carpet, and hardware are all mediocre. I expected more. Our kitchen sink is shallow and doesn't even have a vegetable sprayer. Insulation is non-existent. We can hear our neighbors anytime they are in their closet or bathroom. Parking is adequate but speeding is a serious problem. Had constant issues with the hallway lighting outside our door not working. The pool is small but generally kept up pretty well. The path around the pond is nice to have. I see groundskeepers out all the time trying to keep up with picking up trash and dog poop that people are too lazy to pick up themselves. I can't say I have any complaints with office management. Any issues we had were resolved. We were interested in a larger unit after we had our baby and they were unwilling to put us in a larger unit unless we signed an entirely new lease. I would say our biggest complaint with this Apartment complex are the people. I can count on two hands how many times I had to answer the door in the middle of the night with my gun because of drunk people kicking on the wrong door. It's not uncommon for the police to show up a couple times a week at night to our building or a surrounding building. Last week, I came home from work in the morning to find Constables serving a warrant in our building. Another neighbor used the parking lot as a junkyard, storing vehicles that did not run, had flat tires, and leaked fluids all over the ground. This went on for the better part of a year before I complained to management. Balconies are generally used as storage around here. We regret moving here. These shouldn't be issues for the price paid and the area. We had higher expectations for living in Prosper.
