Resident 2004 - 2005

10/22/2005

I have been here for several years and at first it was a very nice place to live, but lately it has been going down hill from day to day for various reasons. I still recommend to my friends to come live here, but I do so with a "caution" note attached to my recommendation.<br><br>MANAGEMENT:<br>I have no complaints about the folks in the office. They have always been very nice to me and cordial, and are friendly and pleasant. They have always handled any complaints and/or problems quickly and efficiently.<br><br>TENANTS:<br>I feel that the management no longer takes the time to really screen the tenants that they let move into this complex. There are too many "undesireable" folks moving in here that just don't give a damn about their property, surroundings or neighbors.<br>I can't tell you how many times I have come out of my apt. only to get a wonderful whiff of the marijuana aroma that lingers throughout the air. There are times when I don't feel safe at all and really feel that management turns their heads to the questionable activities that go on throught this community.<br><br>CHILDREN: <br>My biggest complaint is the fact that parents just let their kids run unsupervised at all hours of the day and night. They play around the cars and damage them, they scream and yell like they belong in a zoo and then the kids try to play "truth or dare" with the cars coming into the complex when they get off of the bus, by not moving their behinds out of the way as they are walking back to their homes. When you blow your horn at them to get out of the way, they just look at you with a death stare and then they cuss you out or show you a pleasant finger jesture. They are rude and disrespectful and really need a good @!! whooping.<br><br>MAINTENANCE:<br>I do get sick and tired of when you call for a maintenance problem and someone comes to fix the problem they leave a mess since you aren't there to supervise them. Most of the maintenance guys are very nice and cordial, but there are some that show no respect for tenants who have clean carpets and apartments. They leave their dirty footprints and fingerprints around and even leave the residue and trash from what they were fixing. Didn't your mother ever teach you that you put things back as you found them?<br><br>COMMUNITY:<br>I DO NOT like the fact that there is only one way in and out of this place. That is not safe and can cause many problems if a car breaks down at the entrance or if it is blocked by a tree that has fallen down due to ice accumulation (couple years ago). I did see some type of security guard supposedly patrolling the grounds, but when he isn't sleeping in his car or "getting his mack on" with the young ladies he encounters, then he is usually no where to be found. Not to mention the fact that he is overweight....just who is he going to catch if he has to chase someone??????<br><br>OVERALL:<br>I have never had any bug problems or severe maintenance problems. I think this complex is pretty decent to live in for the cost. I really wish that the office would be more selective in who they let rent from them, instead of just trying to fill their apartments to get paid. I also wish they could enforce rules on letting the kids run around the complex with no regards for other people's cars and property.<br>I continue to stay here because I still have hope that major changes will happen, but if they don't within the next year or two, then I will have no choice but to move elsewhere.
