There are many issue with this apartment complex, but I will only name a few.

APARTMENTS: The buildings are old and need work. The walls are paper thin and you will probably hear other people's tv's, radio's, showers, conversations, etc. The price is also rising rapidly, making this place definitly too expensive for the quality. They only plus is location.

THE 4 P's: People, Parking, Pools, and Poop. People are first. The management and office staff are pretty useless. There is one person that has always been helpful but the rest do not possess adeqaute customer service skills. On to parking. Not too bad but depends on where you live as to how close you are to unreserved spaces. It can be a pain if you are far from them. Pools and hot tubs. Pools are never crowded unless you count all of the crap* floating or settled on the bottom of them. *crap includes: large parts of palm trees, other leaves and grass, beer cans, bottle caps, rocks, and dirt. Hot tubs are more or less warm tubs and often contain some of the afore mentioned crap*. Poop is everywhere. Don't walk in the grass unless you want poop on your shoes.

WATER: The water gets turned of here a lot. They say its for maintainance but when it happens once or twice a week it is VERY INCONVENIENT! One would think that the chances being in the shower when the water gets turned off is great but it has happened to me twice. They don't tell us about it in advance and NEVER do you get compensated on your water bill.

This is a situation that you could face if you move here: You wake up for work early in the morning after only 3-4 hours sleep because of your noisy neighbors. Go to work(could be good or bad). You come home from work and have to park far away from your apartment. Your walking to your place and you have walk in the grass to avoid the sprinklers watering the sidewalk. (Mind you concrete does not grow or need to be watered) So you accidenly step in dog poop. You wipe off the bottoms on the grass but there is still some poop on the side of your shoe. You hurry inside to use the toilet, but when you flush your poop goes nowhere because the water is shut off. Now your apartment smells like the outside and there will be nobody in the office to tell you when the water will be back on.

You are so right on everything you have said. I just moved from there and it is bad.. It really use to be a good place to live... and the water is always being shut off and when you call the office no help.. I asked to be compensated for my water bill and the office (Erika) said that there is nothing we can do cause we (the tenat)are not allowed to contact the water department only the office can and she never did.. Called here 3 times

you must live in the newer side of the complex. and it is all true. I read one review where they said they had concrete walls, I wish. I dont know how many times my water has been turned off and about half those times were without notice. I had to call the police walking to my apartment from my parking spot cause it is on the other side of the complex and i was followed by a man and as soon as he saw the cop he ran. Even the cop who walked me to my door said he couldnt believe how far we had to park away from our place. he said he hadn't seen this sort of parking before. When I went into talk with the office they said well maybe instead of walking around the building you can find a shortcut and walk through all the buildings.. great idea with all the bushes and dark areas. it is 7 buildings with 6 or more apt in each building from my spot to my apt.. not a short walk.. now i carry mace. I have lived in other places and never had the problems I have here recently, thought I would have to ask where my parking was but here you should because they wont tell you until after you sign your lease. also Important you have to give a 60 day notice once your lease is up or you are charged. most places are thirty days.... so beware.
