I have lived in the Arbors for a couple of months, and overall I like it. The community is quiet, parking is not an issue, and there are many amenities. It is a pretty large community so they have pools throughout the property which is nice, but the gym is at the front of the property which makes me less inclined to go (that probably says more about me than the property though!). The rent is about what you would expect for relatively new construction but not brand new. They are renovating units so they will probably start to charge a little more. The "cons" to living here are, 1. It's big...which translates to the front office staff being very busy. I cannot recall a single time that I have called the office and they answered the phone, so I leave a message and sometimes they call back sometimes they don't. 2) valet trash, great idea, but they don't collect on weekends. Some of my neighbors seem to forget this and it is common to see trash bags sitting outside doors for those two days (which is a treat for the squirrels). It is against the lease to leave trash out like that but because of point number 1 (big property) I don't think they have the resources to really monitor it. One of my neighbors say a box spring outside their door, which the valet trash is not going to remove, so it literally sat there for a month and a half. My first call to the office went unanswered, about a week later when I complained again they did something about it. 3) The property is poorly lit. Maybe they want to conserve energy so there aren't many lights around the property. Any nighttime delivery has warranted a call from the driver that they can't see building numbers and don't know how to get to my building, again point number 1 shows up. Also, I'm in a unit without a washer/dryer and only did one nighttime trip to the laundry room as it felt very spooky to walk through the mazes of shrubs and iron gates in the dark to get to the laundry (which only takes quarters...often steals your quarters, and they raise the prices by $1/load without notice). 4) bright house is the only cable unless you get a satellite...and they will ---- you around...literally the worst cable company I've ever had. I've given many cons but these are really first world problems...not anything that will make you miserable. It was a little more expensive than I wanted but the location is good, the neighborhood is quiet, the staff are friendly when you actually talk to them, and they do offer more amenities than I even use. The gym is a good size and they offer free fitness classes.
