| - I give it a 1 for location because I have to. I've been here less than a month and everything I've read, I've experienced so far. Car window smashed the first week. Fire alarms went off for an hour tonight. I've seen 1 cockroach in bathtub. My car was backed into and dented. This is a great area but not a great place to live. I unfortunately moved here sight unseen as I was confidentily reassured by the staff (Alex) that these complaints weren't true. They've all happened to me so far. Only 12 months to go, joy. Positives: nice pool, above average fitness facility for an apartment community and some good people. Live and learn, this will be a 13 month experience.
I wrote the above blurb after the first month but never posted and didn't expect to see it here, so kind of interesting to add the full review below with a one month review. After 5 months I couldn't take it anymore and paid $1200 to get out of my lease and my full review below.
This place is bad news. Where to start? First week my window was smashed on my Tahoe and nothing was stolen, just $260 to replace it. Second, someone backed into my front bumper causing a nice dent. Fortunately, I have a 2002 so I'm not concerned about needing it fixed. There isn't much parking, making you park in unlit or unprotected areas. I believe the safest area is up by the tennis courts. It was inconvenient, but the problems stopped except for the dent.
In my 5 months of a 13 month lease, I paid $1200 to get out of here early. The parking is tight, you will get door dings. The community has useless security guards that basically lock the pool doors. A mouse is more intimidating.
I've heard the fire alarms go off 4 times from drunks in the middle of the night. I've seen two cockroaches in my apartment and they were huge. The garbage area literally almost made me puke in unit E (if you must live here, make sure it isn't by a garbage room). I'd say 50% of residents pick up after their dogs, so crap everywhere. The water pressure in my unit was horrible. The heat and air conditioning is controlled by management. I had to keep my sliding glass door open at night because it was unbearably hot. I had a smoker above and to the left of me so I got to inhale there smoke because I had to leave the door open so I didn't melt. The laundry facilities are NASTY. The water just stands in the machines. If you go inside a machine and shake it you will hear the recycled water. Always check the dryer as people before you don't care about leaving nasty hairs or other nasty stuff behind. Two units in E were constantly broken. The cost is $1.25 and you have to use a laundry card. You lose it and it is $25 to replace. If you don't use it alll upon leaving, the next tenant thanks you.
Your only option for television is DirecTV. The maximum lease you can sign is a 13 month lease, the minimum contract with DirecTV is a 24 month agreement. Getting out of that contract was a nightmare. I typically get contracts when you have a choice, here the equipment is installed and you have no choice. Yet, DirecTV will give you the BS line that they have to account for equipment costs. I am moving into a residence that already has DirecTV and they still didn't let me out of the contract.
Last, I went to turn in my keys today thinking I had paid my rent Jan 1 thinking it was good through my early move out date of 2/6. Nope, and no bill. I find out today I had a $178 worth of rent for 6 days, a $50 late fee and another $40 in $10 a day accruals.
The community leasing agents will act like they care, but they know they work for a terrible management company with no sympathy for honest mistakes. They kind of just go silent when confronted and pray you walk away. There hands are tied. Two of them are easy to find. they are always outside smoking. Last, I moved in sight unseen over the internet. I was handed my keys and never even given a tour. I had to find everything on my own. The only good thing about it I guess is the location, but I'd find a different location to live in the area. If you want to live in a dorm style community, this is the place. I have lived in many communities over the years and I've never left a place on a sour note. This is the worst 5 months of living I've ever had.
Pro's: Location, Gym is decent for an apartment community, nice pool, convenient store. I will not say price because it all adds up in misery.
