Resident 2011 - 2012

9/29/2012

Pros: - Very easy to get in to. Took me with no credit, just the past bank statements verifying my income. - Parking has never been an issue for me. Always ample spots, I haven't ever had to fight for parking. - Fairly cheap pet fee compared to some places, 10$/mo extra for my dog. - Hires outside maintenance for all construction jobs, makes quick work of most problems. - Pool is unheated so it is nice all year round. No competition for it in the winter time. Cons: - Takes a long time for staffed maintenance to actually get the contractor into your apartment. - Outside pest control only comes on wednesdays, as well as the aforementioned long response time. I've had ants for about three weeks now and no one has shown up about it. - High turnover rate for all staffed employees. - Does not care about the tenant. They are in this to get your rent check, which I think is high considering the state of the complex. - Since they do take just about anyone you will have a high portion of "bad" neighbors. - They do not tell you when your water is going to be shut off. - The apartments are NOT well insulated. Be prepared for high electric bills as all of your A/C goes right out the window. Literally. - Very thin walls/windows. You can hear quite a bit from the outside as well as your neighbors. - Appliances are far from energy efficient. - Washers/Dryers are operated via a card. Which costs $5. You can only load this card up with $5,$10,$20 bills. You can only load this card up during the office hours. Laundry is a huge rip off, costs $3 a load and they have minuscule washers. - Will not approve progress energy to come take a look at their HVAC systems in an attempt to save you money. - Maintenance and staff do not communicate whatsoever. If they tell you they will be there on a certain day, chances are they won't. I've played many games of phonetags between these guys. I'm not talking about the outside contractors either, this is the on site maintenance. - Maintenance workers drive their golf carts all over the complex completely ignoring basic road rules. They often drive on the wrong side of the road for example. - People routinely drive recklessly through the complex, especially on motorcycles. I've seen more then one car accident occur. - Largo PD is often in the complex. - Dog "park" is barely deserving of the title. Very small area, very shoddy. I would not recommend taking your dog there. - Make sure your dog is up to date on shots and flea meds, I can assure you many other owners do not. As you can see, there isn't that many positives about living in Somerset other then it is easy to get in to. I would seriously recommend moving some where else.
