Others may not feel that way though.\n\n\nPositives: \n\nI have a bottom unit with a great patio and I can plant things I want around the edges or in pots. I have had the most success with potted plants.\n\nVery quiet! I can hear one neighbor if they are on their patio and unfortunately I keep getting snorers above me and I can hear that if I wake up at night but other than that it is darn quiet! I think it has something to do with the no visitor parking (no parties). I have heard the ocassional get together in a neighboring patio but it is rare. But I don't know what is going on in other sections of the complex.\n\nWeekday staff are great! I really like Augusta and Connie. Both are very friendly and listen to your concerns. The landscaper will also take special requests and will turn on or off irrigation heads at your request. He has also offered to plant things in my patio if I want.\n\nDue to the amount of greenery the complex is mostly shaded so in the parking lot it can be 115 and I go back to my patio and do some gardening. It feels like the temperature drops 20 degrees once you get out of the parking area.\n\nThe maintenance staff, security guards, and gardener are all very friendly and will wave at you as you drive by.\n\nOvernight security and resident only gates. You need to have a key or clicker to get in or out. If you sneak in you will have a hard time getting out!\n\n\nNegatives:\n\nThe big one ... BUGS! If you don't like bugs this is definitely not the place for you. On the ground level I get a lot of different bugs, including cellar spiders (very rare to see a spider other than a cellar spider here) and cockroaches. I have not seen a german roach, but I have occassionally seen sewer roaches, and two other types of outdoor roaches inside. And if you go outside at night expect to see bugs that really gross you out. But on the plus side if you have a problem just tell the girls at the office and they will put you on the pest control rotation. I did that my first half year here and now I see fewer bugs so I stopped. They also have a really bad mosquito problem because of how much they water here.\n\nWeekend staff is not the same as weekday staff. They just recently got a new person for weekends so I don't have much experience with her yet, but I always try to come during my lunch hour during the week if I need to discuss anything. It used to be when I went into the office on weekends (from the back door so they knew I was a resident) I always felt like I was imposing and interrupting their conversation. \n\nResidents who apparently don't want to live in a secure complex are a problem - pedestrian gates (especially on the west side) seem to always be propped open. If you don't want secure don't live here (my opinion). I am just glad I live nowhere near a gate in this complex.\n\nThe cats are terrible. They spray everything and go to the bathroom wherever they want (even if it is in your garden). If you like cats then great! They are for the most part very friendly cats."^^ . "1"^^ . . .
