One month after I moved in, the property changed owners. Since then rents have skyrocketted due to apartment and community rennovations. I selected this community based on location and rent. Now with the increase in rent, I feel like I will be forced to leave at renewal. Apartments are nice already and the new owners are adding flooring and new countertops just to charge more rent.
Also walls are thin. My neighbor just bought a small dog that barks all day and night. I can also hear the person above me walk (which I understand happens in apartments).
The community also rents 3 bdrm apartments which bring along children. The children are often running around unsupervised yelling and screaming in the courtyards. Can be annoying alll day on a Saturday.
In addition, the community is gated. They will not give you a code to get in rather when guests want to visit, they have to find your name on the keypad which calls your cell phone. Once your cell rings, you can press a number to open the gate. Its a hassle for friends and if you need to have a taxi pick you up.
