If there's anyone that can convince you not to live here,it's me. There was a fire in my building on Christmas morning at 3 A.M. because my idiot neighbor left a burning cigarette on his couch. This is the only fire in the apartment's history. My boyfriend and I were with our family for the holidays so the only one home was our little 6 month old kitten. The fire was raging apparently and the firefighters thought it was going to take the whole building, but luckily, only 2 of the 8 apartments in the building were unsalvagable. Out of all 8, ours was the only one spared of any damage. NO ONE CALLED TO TELL US THE FIRE HAPPENED. After a wonderful Christmas, my boyfriend and I arrived home to find 6 of the 8 doors in our building boarded up, soot everywhere, and all of the power shut off. Our kitty was left alone in there and we were never ever called by any staff. He was wheezing and I was afraid he was very sick, but after some fresh air, things were fine. We gathered our things and went back with our families until something could be worked out. First thing the next morning, the front office received a very angry call from me asking for an explanation. I was told someone would get back to me within 30 minutes. When no one called after 45, I called even more upset. The manager asked me to come in and discuss what we could do. So, when I came in, she offered me the very least. She said she didn't see why I couldn't stay in the apartment because in her opinion, it was livable. Let me tell you I couldn't even breathe because of the smoke, the power was still off, and the rest of the building was in shambles. I told her I wanted to move and then proceded to ask her why I was not called. She said she heard the news about 9 am on Christmas morning and since she is pregnant and has bad morning sickness, she wasn't feeling well enough to call anyone. I'm sorry, but morning sickness is NO EXCUSE for not informing someone of almost losing all of their belongings and their pet in a fire. To make a long story short, they transferred us to a new apartment and paid all my activation fees for electricity and such. They also replaced all the groceries that went bad in the refrigerator and freezer when the power was shut off after the fire. It was honestly the least they could do and I had to fight just to get them to give me that. There is no excuse for not calling anyone after something like this, especially when they have a pet.

Aside from this, the area I live in isn't too noisy, though I live underneath a girl who sounds like she is moving around her apartment in the wee hours of the morning every night. I have complained and nothing happens.

Also, the first week I lived here one of my car's tires got stolen and I walked out to my car to find the front right side resting on a green crate. The night time security is non-existent here.

And, in the winter, the longest shower you can take before the water is ice cold is about 5 minutes.

In my opinion, parties aren't an issue. I am an ASU student, but an honors one, and I have no tolerance for that kind of crap. Luckily for me, I must live in an area where that doesn't happen since so many people claim to hear parties all the time. Glad those parties aren't by me, because I'd be calling the police every night on them!

Overall, don't live here, because if anything bad happens to you they take little or no responsibility for what has happened to you. I can't wait to move when my lease is up.
