Resident 2014 - 2015

Not the worst place to live in, but the one star is for the particular apt#701, which is inhuman to live in except for vampires. Agreed by other reviewers, there are hidden fees on top of the outrageous high rent, you are paying $50 mandatory cable connection, $10 trash fee, $6 pest control, $3.75 administration fee, almost $70 beyond the listed price. Altogether almost $900 rent plus water and electricity for a single bedroom, good luck to your wallet, if you are rich enough to not care, sorry it is not a fancy place neither. The electric furnace is extremely loud and inefficient to keep you warm during the "cold" winter. The wall is thin enough to wake you up by your neighbor's wake up music, occasionally upstairs nocturnal activities and video gaming from the back apartments. Just hope your neighbors are all quiet and don't mind you sharing your private life with them. The following part is only for 701 unit: if you are a vampire, look no further, this is your permanent spot! NO, I mean NO natural sun light! Developed depression slowly throughout the whole year lived there because of the darkness. Nice forest and bamboo in front of the apartment to make sure the temperature is below 75 when its 95 outside without AC running, amazing! It made me to rent it over the summer, but lord I paid the price over the winter. Because of the lovely forest, no phone signal in the living room and kitchen with ATT, have to call ATT through SKYPE on Internet to tell them phone signal is not working, need a F**** tower there! Constantly living in the dark, cold, and isolated cave, I had enough, I guess I am not a vampire. Five star for the friendly maintenance crew, who responded work orders promptly and fixed everything. ZERO star for the constantly changing management team and the stupid computer based pricing system. Nice back entrance to the forest for trail running. Some units may be nice choices there, but man, I hated #701, I hate it enough to leave this long review.
