Villas At Camelback Crossings

getting worse From: -Anonymous- Date posted: 11/25/2006 Years at this apartment: 2006 - 2006   This place is getting worse then when I first moved in about 6 months ago. We can hear the family above is at all times of the day and night. When we moved in they gave us our assigned parking spot on the opposite side at the other end of our building and watching outside our front window for a couple weeks we realised there were open spots right in front of us. Then the people above moved in and got a spot right in front. How does that work' Not real pet friendly although it does allow them. We had a notice to evict on our door saying our dog was barking all day and night and if we didn't take action to correct it we'd be evicted in 10 days. We went down and told them that was crap, we are home every night and they don't bark. I work mornings and am home anywhere from 11am to 3pm latest. My fiance leaves for work around 10am or later so they are not home long and they never bark when we are home so I don't believe they bark all day and night as they said. Not possible. The parking was horrible, from what I know it has been better but still a long way to go. They started using parking stickers over a month ago and if you are not on the lease you don't get one. Therefore if a car is parked in a uncovered spot (Which are the extra spots anyone can park in) and they dont have a parking sticker then they are suppose to get a ticket and/or get towed. I've yet to see that happen. Guest staying overnight are suppose to get a temp. parking pass from the office ahead of time, none of the cars have those on them at night and don't have parking stickers. People come and go through here all the time, many of them don't live here, they wait for you to open the gate to drive in and they cut in front of you or walk through it. They also leave the gates open all night so they can come and go since they don't have a key. Cats wonder around at all times, i've seen cat paw prints on my car more times then I can count. They go around unattended and no one at the apartment seems to care but they watch you like crazy if you have a dog. They don't seem to care what cats do but if you have a dog be very careful. A lot of young kids which normally I wouldn't mind and didn't when i first moved in but now there are A LOT more either just moved in or visiting and many times it seems like they get the run of the place with parents not caring and most times not around. I was walking my dog before work and had to deal with some loud kid yelling at the time of his lugs at me wanting me to come up the stairs so he can pet my dog. Not like he asked he just yelled "HEY! HEY! HEY YOU!". An adult (I assume parent or family friend) was right in the doorway and didn't seem to mind at all. Kids will be kids, thats fine but when no adults are around which seems to be more and more the case the kids do whatever they want, leave trash all over the place and just run right up to my dog to pet him and get kind of rough doing it and my dog is very nice but he does not like people he doesn't know running to him and starting grapping him and trying to pick him up and getting rough with him. Thats what the kids do more and more around here. They want to pet him i have NO problem, but you could ask first and not run up and starting getting you hands all up on him, had a close call once where he snapped at a girl then her friend says "I'LL pet him!" and trys to do the same rough housing with my dog and he snaps again and they starting crying "He's mean!!" And this was late at night to! Where are the parents'' So if you dont mind kids running around doing whatever they want and having all there friends over to the pools and peeing in them and people trashing the grounds then come on in! Most neighbors are good neighbors. A lot of students here who attend a near by automotive school and I personally never had any problems with them, they tend to drive fast through the parking lot and try to burn out and have friends over a lot to drink but never once, at any time of the day or night have they ever caused us any problems. They are quite, even for having all there friends over drinking every night which I am glad since i sleep with my windows open and work early in the morning 6 days a week. There are also couples, military, and couples with new borns. No problems with them either. The military tend to have friends over on weekends and they are right next to us but are always good mannered and quite, never any issues there and if they do have a good number of people over they clean up after themselfs. The couples are great too. Only really see them going to or from cars, in the gym or at the pool relaxing, never any issues there. So the worst is the ones with kids, not all, some are good, most aren't great. they have a lot of kids or kids over, they kids wonder around freely which is fine except they lack any and all respect. They trash the place like its no big deal, they are loud and yell at the top of there lugs either at friends or at people with dogs, or they run up and get rough with your dog without asking to pet or approching slowly so the dog has nothing to worry about. (Most dogs here are small dogs so its not smart to rush at'em, i've had to pick my dog up and carry him home sometimes on a walk because he gets so scared of the aggresive kids). Parents want to let there kids roam around the place at all hours on there own thats fine but teach them a few manners first on how to treat other people. I dont think that'll happen though since the few times i see the parents they are either leaving as the kids are outside acting up or they are ignoring the kids because they are talking to friends or watching tv. Those are the kids causing a lot of the problems.
