| - I really don't know why people are complaining about this apartment complex - it is BY FAR the best place I have lived where I rented from a company rather than a tenant. I have been here almost 1.5+ years and I can say that I really enjoy it. Here are the upsides to this place:
1. My APS bill is always low. I know the old reviews stated that this place leaked cool air during the summer and warm air during the winter, and it was something I was REALLY concerned about because I've had APS charge me $300 for an 800 sq ft apartment before because of bad window/wall insulation. I have never had a bill be more than $90, even in the peak of the summer or winter seasons for 1100 sq ft. Additionally, I never hear anything from my neighbors unless it's a REALLY loud tv, which can be annoying but I can fall asleep to it better than sex noises in thin-walled apt complexes. O.o
2. Greystar took over the complex from Equity Residential, which I was sad about because I don't particularly like Greystar as they are monopolizing everything. HOWEVER, the people in the office remained the same and so did our leases, which I am VERY grateful for; the people in the office are the nicest leasing agents/managers I have ever talked to. They have been flexible in time of financial struggle for me (I had a few people give me minimal notice to leave so I had to cover rent myself) and are always genuinely concerned about what's going on for me. They also take constructive criticism well.
Additionally Greystar renovated the entire place - apt units, gym, clubhouse, etc. While I opted out of the renovation since I was living in my current unit when they started the renovations, this means other apts have been updated but mine is not. The only downside of this is that the apts are now fetching more than before and switching to a 1-bdrm actually means that I would pay more for less space. :/ This is unfortunate because I have been having issues finding a roommate since my last one ditched me.
3. They actually got recycling bins when I thought most apt complexes don't care about the earth, etc. I am very excited about this new addition.
4. They maintain the property well; it never looks disheveled or gross, and there are always maintenance people around when you need them. Rick, the amazing maintenance guy who has been with the place the entire time I have, is really nice and will fix anything within 24 hrs then leave you a cute note letting you know he was there.
5. I feel safe here. I know that the gates aren't the best and that people can squeeze through them without having a card or having to phone someone in, but I have not seen any crime being committed in this complex which is rare considering most complexes have a loon or two. They also send out newsletters with tips on how to be safe and keep your apt safe around the holidays with the peak theft season.
6. They have these cute community evens like wine and cheese night, pizza night, etc. where you can meet your neighbors and get to know people around the complex. This definitely helps to build a safety net - knowing your neighbors means if any break-ins etc. happen, you have someone indirectly watching over your place. I have never had something this awesome happen at a place I lived at, the best they could usually do was put out stale cookies and warm tap water.
I can go on but I will stop here. :)
