Here are the pros: 1. the location is great- it is close to schools, shopping, food, etc. 2. maintenance is pretty good- I've never had problems getting things fixed 3.the staff are friendly and helpful 4.the apts have nice layouts 5. valet trash service is cool.

The cons: 1. too expensive- my rent has increased steadily and is now bordering on ridiculous (for the size) also the utilities have gotten out of hand, with no explanation as to why 2. NOISY ghetto folks- this wasn't a problem for the first year, but two new residents in my building are completely ignorant. I have had to call the police twice AFTER trying to go over and politely ask them to keep it down after midnight 3. huge outdoor roaches that can apparently just crawl right under the front door. Thankfully, I have a cat to take care of them 4. few ammenities- I know they claim to have a resort style pool and media center and business center... well, don't believe it. The pool is nice, but tiny and overflowing with kids. There is no media center and the fitness and business centers are not functional

Note on parking- there is always space, but be careful to not park "downhill". I have so many dents and scratches from other people's car doors that it is ridiculous.

Overall, if you have the extra money to spend and aren't bothered by thumping music 3 nights a week, then you shouldn't have problems. My lease is up in a month, and I will be relocating. I simply can't pay $710 a month (rent water cable) and not be able to get a good night's rest. I personally think that if the owners would upgrade the so-called fitness center and business center, hire a courtesy officer to handle obnoxious neighbors, spray for the giant bugs, and include at least one utility in the rent, I wouldn't be moving.

My husband and I are currently looking for an apartment and I can honestly say i'm glad i read this. Thank you for being honest. I honestly feel the same way you do--for $700 i could pay rent on a house or have a mortgage on a house. On top of that, if i'm shelling that much money, i want everything to be taken care of and not deal w/ stupid neighbors. We are young and don't have kids.. so why should i have to put up w/ hearing other people's kids through my walls and have to put up with them? I understand privacy laws and all the legality that comes w/ renting an apartment, but i should be able to request not to be put an apartment next to kids.. in fact i should be able to pick out my own apartment. This is the problem w/ apartment living..that and the fact that you really don't know what you're getting until you get it. That sucks...and you really can't trust what they say at first when you're touring these places...cause they'll tell you what you want to hear. Sorry but i'm so tired of this crap!
