Just wanted to share my experience.
I moved to The Pointe because it was cheaper and closer to campus than the apartment I was living in prior, and I had a few friends who were moving in at The Pointe as well.
Soon after I moved in, it all went downhill. I woke up one night to a strange chirping sound, turned on my light, and found a gargantuan roach in the corner of my room. I am TERRIFIED of roaches. And that was not the last of them. Oh no, it wasn't the last. My roommates and I kept a clean apartment but that did not stop me from seeing several roaches a month for the entire year I lived at The Pointe. It also was common to see huge ones crawling on the exterior of the buildings at night.
Moving on, basically as soon as moved in I started finding these strange bites on my arms and legs. They would often be in little clusters or in straight lines. I googled that and you guessed it: bedbugs. I immediately went over to the office to tell someone, and the girl at the desk told asked me on a scale of 1-10 how bad is it. Are you kidding me? If I am getting bitten, it's bad. Period. Pest control guy came out that week, did a quick look around, and told me that he didn't see anything so he just sprayed here and there and left. I had a feeling it would take more than that to get rid of the bugs and boy was I right.
I started getting more and more itchy little bites. All 3 of my roommates were getting bitten too. I started sleeping with the lights on and losing sleep at the thought of critters crawling all over me. One night I was up late and finally saw one on my bed. I captured it in a plastic baggie so I would have proof.
Pest control had to come out and spray the entire apartment every week for about 2 months straight to finally get rid of the bedbugs.
Aside from the bedbug fiasco, the apartment complex overall looks grimy and dirty. I could hear every time my upstairs neighbor flushed the toilet. I would come home late sometimes on weekdays and there would be very few parking spaces. I would usually end up parking far and having to walk across a dark parking lot late at night by myself. A friend of mine witnessed a car being broken into. Another car had its wheels stolen and was left sitting on cinder blocks.
I said all of that to say this: you get what you pay for. I am moving right back into the place I lived prior to The Pointe. It's worth the extra money for peace of mind and my sanity.
