| - This is the absolute worst place to live, I wouldn't wish it on anyone.
It's cheap, so that's why I gave it one star at all (even though zero stars is not an option).
The buildings are all ROACH INFESTED. So disgusting. There are cock roaches everywhere, in the living area, dining area, bathroom, bedroom, and especially the kitchen. I even found them in the dishwasher. I couldn't open any cabinets without being greeted by multiple cock roaches, and they even ended up in my coffee maker. So gross. I did not have roaches before I moved in, and I have no roaches where I live now. It is clearly the infested buildings, even those who were in the renovated units complained.
The water is always shut off, from 10 am - 5 pm multiple times a week. Yes most people work during those hours, but without being able to wash my hands, or flush the toilet, it was frustrating. Sometimes they wouldn't even tell you when to expect the water to be shut off, and when they did it was maybe the day before.
The staff at the front office, are new. The apartment was just bought out by Aspen Square Management and went from Crestwood to Beacon at 601. I lived there during the switch. And let me tell you, the new management staff are SO UNFRIENDLY. They are rude and unhelpful, and when I ask them for anything they tell me "hm that's not under our control, it's the last managements fault." They did not care for existing residents and were eager to just remodel the apartments and get a whole new group of residents. The original management always told us that if the 1st of the month is a Sunday, you could pay rent on the 2nd because they are closed on Sunday's. When this happened with the new management, they told me this was not true, I could "always pay early" and slapped on a late fee. When my roommate when to ask them about this, they told him "oh there's no late fee." So disorganized.
Parking.... There is never ANYWHERE to park if you get home after 3pm. I lived toward the front of the track and had to park like a quarter of a mile away all the way in the back (that's a minor exaggeration, but still). If you come home any time after 9pm, you're screwed and will feel resentful when you have to walk to your car the next morning. It's a free for all parking and it caused so many issues. Oh, and once the lights in the parking area were shut off for about a month. As a young girl, it was really scary to get out of my car in the pitched black, and walk very far to my apartment alone. There's many scary looking people that just hang around at night that made me feel uncomfortable. I guess that's not the managements fault but the fact that I couldn't see because of the lights was terrifying.
The pool/gym were often times closed without notice- for long periods of time. The gym was down for almost a month, and helloooo??? Isn't that what I pay for with my monthly rent? Not to mention the pool would be closed for reasons that were not disclosed to residents. So fine, once I went to the hot tub to soak one night, and the water was iced cold. It was cold for at least two weeks. (This is all with the new management). What the hell am I paying for?
The laundry facility was okay. It's very expensive, one load ends up being $3 minimum. You have to buy a card to even do laundry, and you have to fill it with cash at the front office. Oh, and they don't take $1 bills so you better have $5 $10 or $20. Oh yeah, and you can only fill your card during office hours! No luck doing laundry at night or on Sunday's unless you've filled your card at a time when you're probably working. And a lot of times I would come to get my stuff out of the dryer and it would be soaking wet still. I'd have to run it again in a different dryer. There goes another $1.25 and another 45 minutes of waiting. And it was multiple dryers that didn't work, so it was a guessing game as to where ti put your stuff. They were never noted "Out of Order." Did I say the laundry facility was okay? I meant it was horrible.
I had so many maintenance problems. My air conditioner stopped working probably three times, the dishwasher was falling out of place, the garbage disposal stopped working and once flooded underneath my sink causing all sorts of old food and liquids to flood almost the whole kitchen. That did not smell pretty, and it was a hassle to clean up. There goes five towels that I will now have to struggle to wash because the laundry room sucks. The emergency maintenance guys did come any time I called, but a lot of times what they had to fix was so bad it would take three or four days. That meant maintenance people were in my apartment unit for hours at a time for almost a week. How's that for living comfortably? Not to mention the ceiling in the bathroom was soft as paper and was dripping water nonstop for a week until they came to fix it, which took them a total of 5 visits. And never done
That's all I can write without going over the text limit. DO NOT LIVE HERE!
HORRIBLE
