Resident 2005 - 2006

Not Worth The Money

Its now 2006 and in response to this review, I have live here 1 year, you are right about the advertizing of one price and charging you another. The ad was for 479mo no where in the ad did it say you paid extra for hot water, which is now 12mo, plus they tried to tell me that the ad was old and the rent had gone up $10. I show them the date printed on the ad and it was within the last week. The agreed to the 479, but then added the water and it is now 491mo. They entry system appears to now be working, but as the prev resident had stated, the doors are always propped open and anyone can enter thru the club house/commons area. The hot water in the morning is always out. And during the day/evening, it is running too hot and warping my plastic food storage containers. My sink is okay, but the bathroom has given me the most grief, with leaks. I have had issues with my phone lines not working, when i told the staff, they said I could pay to get them fixed, they would only pay to fix 1 even though all were working when I moved in. This was eventually remedied by the building repairmain. I have had insect infestations and had to get them treated. I agree ------- is very nice, but i also agree that the other lady is not quite as agrreable. My lease is up in 6mo and I will be moving due to the increase in rent again. From what I understand it will go upto at least 519mo. The hallway always reeks of urine most likely from people not watching their dogs as they attempt to mark territory in the hall as they are being taken for a walk. I do notice the staff are out cleaning on a regular basis, but the odor picks up in a couple of days. The carport is upto $30mo now and it was advertized they have an indoor pool. The pool even though it is indoor, it is seasonal only and only open from May to September. They have now installed a tanning room that they charge to use, this is at a reasonable rate, but i wonder who realy pays for the electricity to run it. When it rains, the parking lot floods because it is on a flood plain and there is no where for the water to go, If you pay for a carport, they will locate other parking on high ground, but if not, you are stuck wading to your vehicle. The area has not improved,and although when I first moved in, it appeared they didn't allow certain breeds, I am now seeing pitbulls as I go thru the hallways. Also I was initially told satelights were allowed, but now they say people need to start removing them. They have internet access in the clubhouse, but although you are only able to spend a short time in there they want you to pay as much as you would for internet for in your own appartment, they scold the residents children who go in to the clubhouse to play board games or put togeather puzzles that are set out for the residents, where are these children to go, there is no place for them? I have also been told by other residents that the dryers are turned down so they take longer to dry your clothing and cost you more money. I spend at least $10 every time I do my weekly laundry. I have also had problems w/ trying to vaccum and operate the air conditioner. The apartment's wiring is outdated and can't handle the stress. I blow a fuse everytime i vaccum if i dont have everything else turned off. I have also noticed that when it rains, the floor along the wall gets moist and very cold, the water just flows up to the building. I can go to hazeldell and pay $455mo for more space and reliable hotwater because everyone has their own hotwater heater. Noise is a constant problem outside, people running their noisy vehicles and talking and yelling at 1am, Even with all the windows and doors closed, your hear everything coming from outside. I had to weather seal the windows and airconditioner myself since my apartment was almost freezing all winter since moisture seems to seek into the floor from outside, there is always a draft.
