The beautiful grounds almost make up for the the property faults, but not quite. Set on over 20 acres of wetlands, it is peaceful and serene outdoors; however, inside is a slightly different story. The two apartment buildings are in desperate need of remodeling or at least fixing. The decor could use some work as well. I found in my time as a tenant that the most frustrating part of living at Stratford Wood is the noise problem. There are frequent noisy parties. Also, the walls don't provide hardly ANY soundproofing. I can frequently hear my neighbors and often find myself not being able to sleep. P. S. Management will tow your car!!!!!
