No guest parking, noise level is awful

There is no such thing as guest parking! There are about 8 guest parking spots per 40 residents. My guests typically have to park a few blocks away and walk ten minutes just to get to my apartment. Had I even thought about this, I would have reconsidered living here.

The other HUGE disaster is the noise level of the apartments. I can hear my neighbors walking, turning on faucets, when they shower, when they flush the toilet, etc. There is a water meter outside each apartment closet that clicks loudly when water is being used, by yourself or neighbors. It has gotten so bad, that I have woken up to the inconvenience of my neighbors doing their laundry at midnight, and taking showers in the early mornings. I have even heard muffled conversations from my neighbors, which is real scary knowing there is no real "privacy" for anyone. Never have I witnessed the oddness of the water meter clicking so loudly it wakes you up, or even a neighbor turning on a kitchen faucet that sounds like Niagara Falls in your bedroom.

I would highly reconsider another place to live in before moving here. Had I known it was going to be so bad, I would not have committed to a one year lease. I feel like I haven't had a good night sleep since before I moved in. I am counting down my days until moving out. I thought the least I could do was warn others about this complex, as you really do not know what it is like until you stay the night in one of the apartments.

I lived in this complex for four years from 1998 - 2002 and do remember the water noise. However, I do think the ad above is making it out to be more than it is. Yes I did complain about it when I was there but it is part of the design of the complex and just like any apartment you get certain advantages and disadvantages. I don't know if the user above is just a lite sleeper (I never had a problem sleeping), but of the residents there I spoke too and when taking into consideration the other advantages of this complex (great location to freeways, quality of unit - specifically the baseboard, tv's in the kitchen fans appliances etc...) that the noice is a minor issue at best. Just my .02c!!!

that is soo true. My neighbors up stairs were sooloud they would wake my 3 year old son up. My up stairs neighbors would also do their laundry at night like midnight and I would get soo pissed. I forgot about all of that crap. My boyfriend and I hated it.
