I've lived here for about a year and a half and now that I've gotten a better job, I'm leaving. Management claims that the apartments are "newly renovated" but the newest thing in the apartments is the paint. The heater's barely work, so good luck with that in the winter.

The maintenance crew is completely made up of -------- that barely speak english, so they can never tell you why they're in your apartment or what they're fixing. Management just sucks. When you talk to them, they act as if you're taking up their time. They also tend to tell you they've sent back your package when they're too lazy to look for it. There is also the little issue with them "closing" at random times during the day, that ---- gets annoying.

The neighborhood may be a little rough for people from peaceful suburbs, but its not as dangerous as some people think. The parking situation sucks. You either pay $50 a month and park across the street in a sketchy parking garage (with a dickhead attendant) or you pay $100 a month to park in the ------ parking lot in the back of the apartment building. Sometimes there is an insect problem but it wasn't as bad for me as it is for others. I've killed maybe 8 roaches the entire time I've been here, and I'm pretty clean.

Finally, noise is occasionally an issue. People will often congregate outside very loudly, which gets annoying. There is also an extremely insane girl that lives here that loves to blast her music very loudly from the parking lot and also has screaming matches with herself in the hallways. Enjoy that. I said before that the heaters don't work, but my god do the pipes bang! You will wake up in the middle of the night thanks to the clanking of the pipes, which is mind boggling since no heat is produced from the radiator. Perhaps someone can explain this to me'

Looking to move in and was hoping to get a current update!!! Any suggestions?

EDIT: I should note that the prices for parking are the same. From what I hear from current residents, the crazy lady that I refer to in my review is now gone. I hear the heat is still always broken, the maintenance crew still doesn't speak english, and the management is still rude.
