| - I was smart enough to know that the rent here should never be more than 800 for a two bedroom. Rent accordingly to the market! My two bedroom two bath 1200 square feet apartment, i got for only 695$ a month. But I can understand why some people would be angry with the rent they paid and what they are getting.
This review will be based on my experiences of living here since January of 2011.
The Good
1. Our neighbors are all very decent and not once have I ever had problems with noise complaints, sketchy neighbors etc. We all look out for each other and even get to know each other's dogs! (although there are some assholes living here, it's not bad, people are really friendly.
2. the maintenance guys will definitely come fix your stuff asap. Assuming they get the work order...sometimes my work orders would only say one thing when there would be multiple things needed to be fixed... this would be the front office's fault. They are all very helpful, nice, and gentlemen. They live in the neighboorhood, have families and pets there too so they understand what you're going through.
3. Rent can now be paid online, so there is no hassle to having to deposit a check or coming into the office, etc. The rent billed each month will now include water and sewage based on the usage and number of units total. You can pick which electricity you have. If you choose aps you're on one side, if you choose srp, you're on the other. The electricity for my apartment was about 65 a month regularly and up to 160 for summer. I'm on a peak hour plan with aps and USE A LOT OF ELECTRICITY!
4. Grounds keeping and dog poop is not a problem and they don't mow the grass early either!
5. Close and convenient to shopping places such as Costco, target, fry's, safeway, walmart. Close to freeway access. You are near the 202 and 143.
6. The apartment itself is quite spacious, open, and fairly new. Don't expect modern appliances that are stainless steel, but you can expect VERY high ceilings, nice finishes, and new carpet. I loved the layout and the space. I also loved the masterbath. That tub was amazing for bubble baths!!
7. Each unit has it's own laundry! YES YES YES!!!!!
The Bad...mostly annoying
1. One covered parking spot for a two bedroom with multiple residents sucks. uncovered isn't bad, it's just far from where you need to be. Be careful though, if you park illegally or stupidly i.e. in two lanes, you will be towed. they have their own towing companies to come in. I even got a citation warning for having a out of state license plate when I am an out of state student!
2.There is only ONE dumpster for each complex. This means if you have trash and you live on the opposite side of the complex, you drive your trash. I mean it, many of us have to drive multiple trash to the dumpster.
3. The previous reviews are right about the gate. The gate was left open a lot at night and sometimes it would go for two three days without being fixed. What's the point of a gate code when all you have to do is wait for someone to go in.
4. I lived on the first floor so the air quality was kinda terrible. It was stuffy and no matter how hard I tried, I just couldn't get it to be cool and airy.
5. I hated the sink. It's a double sink, but it's not deep. So dishes pile up fast.
The Ugly
1. DON'T LET THE COP CAR PARKED OUT FRONT FOOL YOU! It's a terrible bad bad bad neighborhood; multiple people have had break ins. HIDE YO KIDS, HIDE YO WIFE. LOCK YOUR DOORS AND BAR YOUR WINDOWS! DO NOT LIVE ON THE FIRST FLOOR! I even got a friggin rearview mirror stolen from my car parked in broad daylight in a covered parking spot! Learned my lesson, now I have a knife, bat, and pepper spray at hand to protect me!
Overall Impression
This place wasn't a bad apartment. For the square footage and the price I paid, I loved it. If this apartment was located elsewhere it would have been a dream! There are things you have to weigh, if you think you can overlook them then this place will be perfect! I unfortunately can't.
