| - The first 6 months of living here were a NIGHT. MARE. We were recommended this place by friends and our tour of the grounds/model was fine (Even though Ashley mused that she didn't know why there were cigarette butts all over the ground, she says "maybe it's because it's the weekend". Please, honey. We know it looks like this all the time, don't front.) It was good enough for what we were willing to pay, close to work, and they could accommodate us pretty quickly. OK. Signed the lease. Administration was friendly and they even gave me keys a day early because I was having a new bed delivered to the new place. Sweet! So far, so good. Why give it a nightmare rating?
I wasn't even in the unit before I started hating it. Our neighbors' dogs were horribly trained and would bark their heads off if they heard a pin drop in the hallway. I had to MacGyver my way into the apartment because the door handle was broken off and maintenance (or whoever did the final "walk-through") just left the damn thing dangling on the stub. I entered the place and it was smaller than advertised and there were roach carcasses on the counters. Between the roaches, constant barking dogs, and loud neighbors, we were ready to break our lease by the 3 month mark.
Miraculously, our problem neighbors moved out (Either by eviction or otherwise, but not before having a huge yelling match on the stairs. They also abandoned their obnoxious dog. Quality human beings.) and our roach and noise problems went with them.
Other cons:
- Paper thin walls
- Terrible phone reception (people are always outside on their phones)
- Garbage and dog crap overflowing onto walkways
- Half-assed maintenance (they came and "fixed" our dishwasher, but not really)
- Gates never work (this can be a pro also, it's just faster for the gates to be stuck open)
- Overpriced, now that they've got a new owner
- Monthly notices about sex-offenders moving in
Pros:
- Decent location
