I lived here a little over a year ago, and I lived here for 2 years.
In the entire 2 years I lived there, the security gate was closed maybe a total of 20 days. Maybe.
The air conditioner never worked for us, or our downstairs neighbor. Maintenance came by many times and told us to leave it off for a few days to fix it. That never fixed it. The rent went up a bit after the first year, but the price wasn't awful. The biggest problems were our late-night noisy neighbors (not the apartments fault) and the lack of air conditioning.
Lack of air conditioning in summer is something I will never suffer through again.
Oh and the fact that we had no ceiling fans in any of the rooms except the living room certainly didn't help either.
