| - SECURITY
i've never been robbed, but my friend had his place broken into and his car's gas "siphoned". he learned from the property's employees that 3 different homes have been broken into the same month -- with military being targeted the most.
they use to have a visible guard who bikes around the community (guards that change often), but i didn't see one the last month i lived there.
the gate also has an issue with being broken (then left wide open) or piling up traffic (irresponsible residents w/ no keys); but this seems to be an issue for properties in Vegas who don't post a guard at the gate.
the PRO to all this lack of safety is that the cops do come by often and they are prompt to come when called.
MANAGEMENT
my view maybe biased here as i had a negative experience with them. management, IMO, is a mixed bag. i think the employees are cheerful, attentive and nice, but the property manager (female) is sexually biased.
MAINTENANCE/PROPERTY
i thought pool, gym, and greens are adequatly maintained, but the grounds themselves tend to get trashy and dirty from residents who don't pick up after themselves. dog poop is visible everyday (the same one on CONCRETE for days sometimes). i have witnessed a beer bottle left on my staircase for the past year and a tub of ice cream by a resident's door for almost a week before cleaned.
the maintenance team has always been friendly. my issues are solved within adequate time.^^
parking seems to be somewhat of an issue. TR@AC use to flag cars that are not listed in their files with a warning-to-tow tag... however, i've yet to see this done with the new management company (PINNACLE). i noticed an increase in the amount of cars around my building. what's really shady is that there are always two different cars in the prime spots every week.
i will say that i've never had an issue with finding a spot near my place, but it feels uneasy to see two new strange cars around...
BE WARNED... the air around the community can stink sometimes. this is because there is a pig farm near that burns their pig's feces every now and then. i've never had a real issue, as my windows keep the smell out well.
APARTMENTs THEMSELVES
while i honestly loved my floor plan, the amenaties (fridge, microwave, sink, washer/dryer) inside were really common for nice apartments like these.
the windows are awesome at keeping your room temperature in, the AC/Heat unit always worked well, and the walls were adequate. you will hear neighbor parties, doors slamming, and dogs barking - but i've yet to find a place that doesn't suffer from the same.
my only gripe was that my living room's temperature was always less then what i wanted.
COMMUNITY
the people are generally nice, but allow their kids to roam around rampant and loud. i feel bad for my friend, who hears them everyday outside his first floor apartment. to boot, he has had his car dented by their play (bike.?).
MOVE-IN, RENT & MOVING OUT
i don't know if the new company does it still, but Vegas military see their application and deposit fees waived ($330 total i think). *BTW, THX VEGAS ^^* new residents get to live free till the end of their first month.
TR@AC accepts personal checks or online payment. i hear some residents have issues with online payments. while it is a bit tricky to setup, i've never had issues with it myself. you will not get a refund if you accidently pay rent twice in a month like i did tho.^^;
RENT-wise. i didn't think it was too bad. i fell in love with my floor plan so didn't really feel a loss. my rent was $850 (Windsor 1000ish sq.ft) and $15 for water & sewage. Gas, Power, Cable are seperate charges.
when i moved out, i was not charged any fees. i've been briefed by a maintenance worker and a management personal - that they want a clean fridge, spackled wall, and spot-free carpet. they were true to their word, so i sincerely appreciate that.
good to note that - i've heard the law (at least in Vegas) does not hold residents responsible for walls/carpet after living there for a year.
IN-CLOSING
TR@AC is a good place to live. They can be one of the better community to live in if they would only setup a guard-booth at the entrance to manage incoming traffic. that would really lower crime or "strange" cars being around the community at night.
