| - This place is horrible. We have lived here since 2007, and at first we thought it was OK. Then they started charging us for everything under the sun. There's a fee to have our trash picked up (which we never use because our apartment is right next to a dumpster so we just walk our trash bags to the dumpster), there's a fee for cable (which we also don't use...we spend most of our time studying). There is also an HOA fee (which is odd since that's supposed to apply to property you own, not rent). And, of course, none of the fees are optional. They are absolutely mandatory, regardless of whether you use the service or not. And they don't ever mention these fees until right before you sign the lease. So whatever they quote you for rent, don't take their word. They will bait and switch you, and you can count on the rent being at least $200-300 more than what they tell you initially.
They also forced (and I do mean forced...this was another of their wonderful non-negotiable situation) us out of our apartment for 15 days so they could remodel it. We had to move all of our stuff to the garage, and since we don't have family or friends here we had to get a hotel room for 15 days. Not exactly cheap. And the best part of the whole thing was that they still charged us rent for the full month, even though we didn't have any access to our apartment whatsoever for half of that month.
And on top of everything else, the management is getting worse and won't respond to complaints. I have gone into the office to pick up packages recently, and it's almost like they're playing a game to see how long you'll wait for one of them to help you before you get pissed.
Please, whatever you do, don't rent here. We plan on complaining to the BBB as soon as we find somewhere else to go, because this place is terrible. And if you think the rent seems like a good deal, it's not! They're just going to bait and switch.
Avoid this place!
