Glad to be leaving!

I just found this site the other day while in my search for another apartment. It looks like a great help to those who are looking! Ashmore Trace was originally Carriage House of Greenwood. It was built in the early 1970's. Water leaks, mice, ants, centipedes, spiders, and silver fish have been or are a recurring problem. Maintenance can be slow to react, promising to return to finish and never show up. Water leaks in apartments with washing machines have been a problem. They can be very cold in the winter. Air blows in around old patio doors and other places. There was a renovation done some years ago where all the apartments were redone with carpet, new cabinets, doors,....etc.. My "new" apartment was filthy when I moved in. I had to re-clean the stove, fridge, bathroom,....etc.. Foor tile work in the kitchen and bath was poorly done. Doors were poorly hung. Drywall, painting was poor. I had constant toilet leaks due to issues with how it sits on the pipe coming out of the floor. I had to install the deadbolt on my door myself because I couldn't get maintenance to come do it and I was tired of waiting. I also had to clean up the patio area because they wouldn't come do it like they were supposed to. I had weeds up to my knees! Workers dumped paint and other crap out there that I had to clean-up and there was rocks everywhere. Maintenance was plagued with problems caused by the work that was done so I tried to overlook these things. But I never so much as got a pat on the back for doing them! This was when the washer and dryer facilities were ADDED to some of the apartments. From all that I've heard, that was a very bad idea. Grounds are mostly nice and fairly well kept but grounds people don't seem very ambitious or knowledgeable in a lot of areas and don't seem to be well trained. Office staff is friendly but can be very slow to respond to various issues. The manager does not like confrontation or problems. Complain too much about anything and you're on her bad side real quick. If you keep your mouth shut and go with the flow you'll be just fine! Seems like all they care about anymore is how full the place is. It does stay pretty full but a lot of people coming in here seem to bring a lot of problems with them too. Police have been in a lot lately for various issues. There's been a recent rash of car break-ins. I guess you could find a lot of places worse than this. I've been looking around and I've seen some. That's just from a "looking out the car window" standpoint. But I guess what one person wrote is true. Looks can deceive. It does seem like most complexes have somewhat the same issues with slow maintenance and office staff, some worse than others. Since I've not been anywhere else I have nothing but my experience here to go on.
