Not that bad!

It is typically a Latino area. This (southeast) whole area including those homeowners is Latino. I am AfricanAmerican and a retired airline employee. I like this area because it is close to the airport where I used to work. There is a lot of red tape to get in because these apartments are government rent controlled, meaning that they can only charge you the fair market price. If you are dirt poor as one complaintor said, you won't quality. If the housing industry goes up then they will raise the rent and if it goes down the rent will be lowered. My rent did go down $4.00 from last year. So it is not a project, subsidized or the ------. The company who designed and built these apartments, WhiteCo specialize in high end properties and some of those qualities are incorporated in the architect of these apartments at a moderate, not cheap, price. The apartments are huge and have a lot of natural light and windows. There are 9ft ceilings with track lighting in the kitchen and dining area. Also there is lots of storage. All of the cabinets are simulated oak and textured counter tops. They are very strict about unauthorized tenants and BBQ pits on the patio. They are also very strict about only having patio furniture on the patio. I think people are being stereotypes, for instance, I was telling a white guy I used to date back home that I lived in a mostly Latino area and he asked, Is it safe? He said that without even thinking about what he was saying. I feel truly safe here. I have to admit that I have seen chicken bones in the breezeway as one tenant wrote and I just got my broom and dustpan out because it was probably some of the kids eating outside. The next day everything was cleaned. I have nice neighbors and it is basically quiet unless the kids are out to play. I used to live around the corner in Briar Creeks Apts who went Condo and they really sucked, charged way more money with no storage and everything was cheap looking, tiny tiny patio and not enough windows. I am saving for a condo and if these go condo, and if the price is right, I will buy this apartment, I have a 3 bedroom and it is huge!
