| - My boyfriend and I lived here three years. The apartment itself was very nice and one of the biggest one bedrooms in the area. I also thought the complex was very nice looking, although the back pool could've been kept up better. The lightrail was very convenient for school. We didn't hear about the freight train that goes right behind the building until after we signed the lease. And with our building being right in the back it was a nuisance.
The staff is what kills it. They were absolutely terrible from the first day we moved in. Our rent kept getting raised substantially. During our last year I went in to pay rent and she told me I was a penny under. (The numbers ended in 5 so I told her it was impossible to be 89 cents instead of 90...did the math again and still wrong) Next month we go in (same amount on the checks as last month) and we're 10 cents over. We had to sit down and ask them what our rent was because the staff can't add.
I applied to work in the front office and did not get hired. The hiring manager told me she wanted to hear things like "punctual" instead of "I can sell." Duh? I handed a guy my rent checks and he looked at me and said "What's this for?" Really??? At one point they said my boyfriend was no longer on the lease. Huh???? No reason as to why. So the staff is a bunch of incompetent college kids who wanted free rent. I was also afraid we wouldn't get our deposit back because it sounds like most people don't, but fortunately we did.
Also, the security makes you feel like you're the problem instead of watching the complex. I took my dog out at night and the security guy stood there (while on his phone) and watched me the whole time, even walked around to the stairs to watch me go into my apartment. They also stop and watch you get out of your car and into your apartment. Dude, if I drove in I'm probably fine! There are generally people in the dumpsters or behind them, and the front gate is NEVER closed. When it is, retarded college kids push it open causing it to break. Happens every single time the gate is closed. Carry your damn gate card with you!!! Also, the gate code thing barely works. I typed in my own and it didn't even recognize my name. And when it did, it didn't work. Waste of money.
Overall, nice area, nice apartment, terrible staff. I'm now renting a three bedroom house that is $100 more than the one bedroom at Apache Station. What does that tell you?
