| - Alright, I want to provide a fair review of this complex as I felt there were none available to me when I moved in last summer.
So, let's get a basic rundown. It's a large complex with a variety of floor plans between studio and two bedroom. Some of the units have carpet while others were upgraded to wood. I lived in the largest one bedroom.
Pro:
- In theory, utilities being included can be helpful to folk trying to save money or who have bad credit. However, in the summer my AC has always left a lot to be desired and the air does not go below the mid-80s I believe. And no, this isn't a malfunction. I have them check my AC every six or so weeks.
- Square footage isn't bad for the largest one bedroom. It's 780 sq feet and in the living room and kitchen, the floor plan is open.
- A semi-private entry way if you live in the larger one bedrooms. I have one person next to me and two below.
- There are 3 pools? I have never used them, but I guess that's a pro if that's important to you.
- A lot of families live in this complex. Now, this is more of a pro if you have kids and want them to make friends. If not, you can put it below.
- They always have weird rent specials. Live low-cost move ins and waived deposits.
- Pet rent is $10 if you have a pet. The deposit is 150/150.
- They participated in the summer food program last year for low income families.
Neutral:
- My friends have said they feel unsafe in the complex but I've never had that concern. It's old and not particularly well kept, but I've never worried about my unit.
- Location wise it's not bad. It's across the street from Larry C Kennedy to the east and homes to south.
Con:
- By far the biggest con is the office staff and their conflict resolution skills. Look, I get it, dealing with stressed out tenants all days is not fun, but all of these women are impolite and always look at you as if you're bothering them by coming into the office.
- Maintenance. Just, dear lord. The one guy I've met is really nice, but the process is a nightmare. Every request I make I have to follow up on multiple times before anything is done, and there is no follow through or follow up by the office staff. They need to completely overhaul their system because it's inefficient and awful.
- This place is OLD. The counters are so ugly and the carpet in my unit was in bad shape.
- Exterior walls are brick patterned. This is a stylistic preference, but I think it's ugly. Also, the ceiling lights have a plug that runs down the wall that is an eyesore.
- Rent cannot be paid online, or if it can, there is a fee.
- Certain parts of the complex are loud during the day.
- The kitchen keeps in theme with being old. The appliances are ancient. The stoves are gas, which is cool tho.
Price wise, I just noticed the complex is trying to charge new renters $811 for the 780sqft unit. It's absolutely not worth that much. When I asked about renewal, they said my rent would go up by $25 even though the unit below is empty and all the units parallel to my building are empty. This complex has a catch 22. The people who need this complex can't afford it and the people who can afford it can do much better. One year was enough for me.
