| - So, the apartment is still a nice place to live at but with the new management taking over, there are definitely some pros and cons compared to what we had before.
I'll start with the cons first:
1. So this first one is independent of the management. I've visited some of the other apartments that Las Vegas has to offer and have come to realize how thin the walls are. On one side, I have neighbors that smoke constantly and I can smell the smoke in my kitchen (which is completely closed off). On the other side, sometimes the neighbors are just talking and it feels like they're on my balcony talking.
2. Right when the new management moved in, I had a hard time getting a maintenance request fulfilled. My fridge decided it wasn't going to chill things anymore - milk would spoil within 3 days in the fridge, and bottles of water took almost 4 days to freeze in the freezer. I talked to management about it and the first time no one came to take a look at the fridge until I went back a second time (which occurred maybe a week afterwards). After I went to management the second time, I noticed that they went through my fridge, probably made some adjustments, and my fridge still wasn't working as expected. I went to management a third time, and things finally got moving. Later that day, the facilities came into my apartment while I was around, I told them about my milk and water situation and then they brought up another fridge (FINALLY). The whole ordeal took about a month. It probably would have taken less time had I been more assertive.
3. So because of the renovations, water is VERY unreliable. Understandably, whenever a shut off is scheduled, we would get a one day notice on our doors however there were A LOT of unexpected shut offs. Today, I received an email from the resident notification system saying that 'due to an unforeseen emergency, hot water has been shut off. . . . the hot water will be back on in approximately 4 hours.' I received the email around noon. It is currently 10pm and I still have no hot water. With the previous management, I never had any issues with water shut off, and definitely I was not left in the dark for 10 hours on whether or not I will be able to shower tonight, or tomorrow morning.
Pros:
1. Aesthetics. That's it. The building's interior and exterior look better, but that is it.
2. I didn't have that many pests before (maybe one tiny itty-bitty roach once every 2 months (maybe?) but now since new management has moved in, I haven't seen a single bug. So I guess the new facilities do keep the apartment a lot cleaner, compared to previous management.
I honestly think with the whole renovations, it was more trouble to the current residents than it was an 'increase to the quality of life'? Since I have been living here, I noticed a lot of the previous residents have left.
I'm not exactly sure why they left, I just don't see a lot of the familiar faces I used to see.
Speaking from my experience living here 2 years with 'old' management - with the new management moved in, my rent has increased (not too crazy since I resigned a 1 year lease), every day is more or less noisy because some units are being upgraded, and water is constantly being shut off or it's unreliable.
If my previous rating of Cambridge Park Towers was 4 stars, I'd have to give Cambridge Apartments probably a 3.5.
Cheers !
