The short version? Don't think about this place. Don't even consider it for a moment. Don't pause to put on your sneakers, just RUN!!!!!! Here are the negatives: you get to hear your neighbors through the walls (even when they sneeze); have mice, ants, unidentifiable gross bugs all over and dying in your walls stinking it up; single pane windows that let in all the cold in winter and heat in summer; heat pumps that don't work and that maintenance refuses (and can't figure out how to anyway) fix; electric bills over 150 a month (yet you'll still freeze in winter or roast in summer because the windows leak so bad the AC/heat just runs and runs at a reasonable setting); issues with places to park as there isn't adequate parking, people have 4 cars for the 10 people living in their place; reserved parking that's a joke as they rip you off each month to pay for it yet don't enforce it so people park anywhere and steal you spot that you PAY for constantly (and if you ask management what to do about it they just say to leave another note on the car that the people who park there ignore); having to park streets away just to try to find a spot as everything is full constantly; cigarette smoke seeping through all your windows if they're open and coming through your door if you go in or out; roads and sidewalks that aren't cared for in storms; cigarette butts all over your yard that management doesn't take care of like they're supposed to anyway; maintainace who can't fix jackcrap and have to be called every day for over a week to get them to come out, even in an emergency; pipes that back up regularly; high water bills; rent that goes up hundreds of dollars each year; management who lie, never help you, never even TRY to help you, does anything they can to screw you over, and doesn't believe you need heat, AC, or running water; dog poo all over the neighborhood; no insulation in the walls; loud parties in the streets; neighbors who scream their heads off constantly and bang on walls so you can hear them all the way to the top level of the building and many doors down; floors that creak so you hear every foot step above you; management who tells people to park anywhere, even in someone else's reserved spot that they're paying extra for; management with accents so heavy you can't understand a word they say; management who promises to get back to you but never does; maintenance who doesn't show up when promised even when your place is flooding from the pipes backing up (again); to only have the option of signing an 8 or 16 month lease if you renew (month to month and year leases aren't allowed!); not be told what your new rent will be until it's too late to give notice to get the hell out as they're jacking it up HUNDREDS of dollars and making you sign a LONG lease (even though you've been asking if it's going up for months and were told no...until you went in to renew and then had no choice as you have to give 60 days notice to move out but oh! you can't go month to month! so haha! you're stuck or we're taking you to court!). To top it off: the gym is a joke. They closed it for a year then put in the same crappy equipment, minus a few pieces. The metro van doesn't run consistently and will randomly stop and block the road into the development when it does show up. Management doesn't bother to tell you when the pool will be opening and it's got short hours anyway, making it useless. Management has gotten worse and worse and the neighborhood is really going down hill--it's easy to see safety is going to be a big issue in the next year or so. Hell, there's already been drug busts! And sooo much more, but I don't have two hours to type the rest. We got stuck in this crap hole because of their games and then ended up not having the money to move because of it. But now we do so as soon as the lease is up, we're out of this place!!! If you ignore all this and rent here anyway, I feel sorry for you, I really do. You will regret it.
