Resident 2007 - 2008

7/1/2008

I have lived here for a year and have to say I have had no problems. I am a mother living here with my young son. I can see how the parking would be quite problem for people who have more than one car for one apartment. Whenever I would have guests at visiting at nite, I would tell them to park on the street near the back gate. The complex is not big and I don't see why people are complaining about the walk for unassignedparking. I do find it annoying that you have to call to the security company ahead of time if you are going to have a guest (need to report year/make/model/plate number/name of guest). The other residents here pretty much keep to themselves. The train noise isnt THAT serious, sheesh! Laundry areas are well kept.The fitness center is nice with modern equipment and not too many people go in there. I have never had any problems with the staff in the office, but I can see how some people can be offended. The maintenance people do a great job and respond quickly! I will say that this place is great if you are a pet owner (esp. if you are a large dog owner). I did not bring my dog here because of the OUTRAGEOUS dog deposit fee. My lease ends at this month and I will be moving to another Archstone property which is located in Long Beach.Their "relocation guarantee" is a great incentive. I am in a renovated apartment and the rent is going up pretty high, but I'm not going to complain as people have the right to choose where to live(you could rent a house in the area for the cost of rent of a 2bed 2 bath here).
