THESE APTS ARE ONE TO PASS OVER

hello, i´ve lived in Shaminy Brook for the past 2 years and am looking to get out!!! These are the worst apartments ever!!! if you are looking for high electrical bills when running your central ac (which stinks and doesn´t even work) you are looking at a bill of about 300 or so $ and the ac doesn´t even cool the place down. I keep it on 70 & the thermostat still reads 85-90 degrees. as for the windows in the place. they are horrible. it feels like they are open when they are closed. nothing in the place is updated, one time we had Peco come out and take a look at our electrical system (b/c we thought the bill was wrong) and even the guy who came couldn´t believe they haven´t updated it. he said the reason the bill is so high is b/c the system is so old and outdated. Someone put on here that the electric was updated but i love to know what their definition of updating is b/c i see no differnce what-so-ever. they up your rent every year $30 and give you nothing for it. everytime you go over to the laundry room, there are 2 washers broken out of 3, and it takes them a month to fix them. not to mention they are filthy as hell. you need gloves just to turn the nobes on the washers. then when the maintainence men come to fix (if you want to call it that)them they do it half ---. the parking is a nightmare especially if you live in the deadend portion of the apt complex. there is not enough spaces for all the apts and then you have to walk across the grass to get to your car. so in the rain & snow be prepared to have dirty muddy shoes, unless you want to walk all the way to the end of the walkway and then back up in the parking lot to your car. <br> <br>I´m thinking the nice comments that are listed on this page for these apts are probably ones from the people who work there and live there. only because everyone i´ve ever talked to complains about the place and is only staying there because they don´t have the means to save for a deposit on another place. <br> <br>as for the women in the office (Helene), she has an attitude about everything. for instance. when we first moved into our apt. we were having problems with the hot water. everyday we called b/c the hot water wasn´t working. so i would call everyday and complain that i have a small child and that i wanted to be able to heat up the bottle, shower, etc... (i didn´t like to use the microwave for the bottle, well b/c the dr.´s said not to (first child) and i didn´t use the stove b/c it took to long) so i would call and complain that it wasn´t working again and her response to me was, well doesn´t the stove work, why can´t you just heat it up on there. UM, Hello, do i not pay rent for this place. whether i have a stove or not to heat it up on, i should have hot water!!! that´s what i´m paying you for! i shouldn´t have to call everyday for 2 weeks before they finally decide to give me a new water heater. i should´ve known then that this place was going to be a nightmare and to get out. <br> <br>as for the people at shaminy brook, there are some neighbors who you will like and some you won´t. i think this apt complex is no differnt from any other in that sense. <br> <br>if you are looking into Shaminy Brook apts. i would definitely recommend that you pass them over. i wish i would´ve!
