| - Geez, where to begin. The list of what is wrong with this apartment complex is more than the positives. In fact, I can't think of anything positive except that my lease has expired and I'm moving out!
The cons: Security: Lacking. I've seen both the fire department and police department called out for my building alone in the last 2 months at least once a week. Security at the complex is about as useful as a giving a drowning victim a glass of water.
Hot water: If you enjoy a hot shower in the morning, don't ever anticipate it here. I have hot water if I wake up before 5 am. No joke. If I wait till 7 a.m. it's luke warm at best. Of course, this is not the times when management informs us that the water will be turned off and normally only after it's been turned off.
Noise levels: Unbelievable. I believe I have a heard of elephants above me. The floors are the worse for noise reduction (or the lack thereof). If you like hearing the trampling of the occupants above you, move here... music and other noises... Daily. BOOM BOOM BOOM... I actually have pictures on the wall shake from the noise.
BUGS.. yes, they have them. ALL of them. Cousins, aunts, uncles, siblings... the bugs are everywhere, ceilings, walls, and of course, the counters, cabinets etc. I've hired a pest control guy and he couldn't keep up with the infestation. He told me that the roaches are in the walls and come through the cracks of the apartments. I've seen for myself the cockroaches leave via my ceiling to go terrify my neighbor above me.. or get trampled. I can't understand why the management will not do a major bug bomb, but it's probably too much money.
Drugs: If you like the occasional 'parfume viva la cannibus, by all means, you'll love it. The walls are thin and obviously, if bugs can transport from one apartment to another, then smell does as well. Renter beware.
The neighborhood is great though for the vagrants, transients and homeless people that are continuously in the garbage bins. Be nice to all of them.. they probably look out for the apartments more then the security group.
Little kids are always running the parking lot. I don't know why parents will let them outside to play in the parking lot when the apartments do have a swimming pool, and basketball court the kids could play in, but maybe the kids are just playing with the homeless vagrants and transients.
Hope this helps the next poor soul... good luck.
