This was our first apartment. The rent is cheap, they allow animals, and it´s close to work. The buildings could be a little better built, the floor shakes when you walk on it, but what can you expect for $600 a month? The manager is a real push over. Just tell him what you need and guilt trip him if it doesn´t get done. The a/c is a wall unit, but it works fairly well and they are quick to fix any problems with it. It´s a nice starter apartment or for people on a tight budget. I wouldn´t recommend having kids here.
