| - I am a current resident (only four long months to go before I can move out). This is the worst place I've ever lived. If I could give it zero stars, I would. I agree with previous reviewers; I've had maintenance to my apartment at least once a month since I've moved in, if not more. AC doesn't work well, mold in the ceiling where venting is. Appliances are CRAP. Have to run dryer 2x to get anything dry. Stove top works only when it wants to. Had to have dishwasher 'replaced' (no doubt from another apartment) before even moving in. Cost of my electricity has doubled since moving in, and I have equalizer payments. Black dust (toxic??!) blows out of every vent because of course in 20 years they've never been cleaned. Learned after moving in that previous tenants in apartment were two triathletes; trust me, that smell is STILL present in the master closet. The carpet is disgusting; been here 10 months and I still won't walk around in bare feet. And the ants. Once when my kitchen was absolutely overrun with them, first office staff blamed it on rain (I live on second floor), then said sorry, pest control was out the day before and I'd have to wait a week for them to spray. I couldn't have ANY food out or prepare any food so when they said I'd have to wait a week, I just about lost it. Told them I would file a complaint so they finally agreed to send someone out that day. (BTW, when they want you to sign the lease they tell you pest control is done regularly. Once you're in, you find out they don't do squat until you complain.) They sell you on a "family owned" complex; all that seems to mean is that they're LESS accountable. This place is a dump; do NOT move here. -Writing this review now because after 118° day, and my AC running ALL DAY, and I mean every minute except when I shut it off to reset (and then it wouldn't start up again), my apartment is still not cool, and the thermostat is consistently reading three degrees over what it's set at. (One person on maintenance line said if I want it to go off, to turn it off myself.) And have had resident maintenance tell me 2x today, well it's hot out. Really??? That means AC should run every minute unless turned off manually?? Like I said, go elsewhere if you want a decent place to live. "Luxury" here is a (not very funny) joke.
6/20/2016 *Update* So now I've been told that it's "normal" for an AC to run CONSTANTLY in hot weather. I don't mean a lot, running and stopping continuously, I mean NEVER NOT RUNNING. I live on 2nd floor of a three story building, north facing, blinds ALWAYS closed, never using oven, and dryer only for linens (mornings or late evenings.) And I'm supposed to accept AC running EVERY MINUTE OF THE DAY. (Maintenance answer was to turn thermostat setting up and say, see, it shuts off.) Brilliant. AC co. also said this is "normal"?? And, was also left a vmg that because two vents were partially closed, that caused AC to run CONSTANTLY. (Vents adjusted by maintenance, not me as stated in vmg.) Previously lived in a home (15 years) with twice as many windows, four times the sun/heat exposure and vents closed in unused rooms and NEVER had this kind of issue with AC.
So far, not one word from complex manager about any of other issues.
6/21/26 AC running as it should, turning on and off per thermostat setting. No rhyme or reason for how this unit works. If vents being opened or closed were part of the problem, why is AC now working as it should??
Still no word from complex mgr RE other issues.
6/28/2016 ***SEE PHOTO OF TWO INCH BUG JUST FOUND UNDER AREA RUG IN MY DINING AREA. *** It's a good thing I have cats or that thing would probably still be crawling around. Back to ALWAYS having lights on and something on my feet anywhere I walk in this apartment.
