The simplest way to indicate why Promenade Towers is one of the worst places to live is a list, as follows:

-Parking Garage-
. smells like urine
. physically dirty (which is why the "leasing agents" -- how can they get a title like that without a college degree'' -- never show it to you)
. requires "valet"
. definitely not secure...gates frequently are being "repaired" and when they don't work, they remain open! for example, three cars were burglarized and another STOLEN from the lot!

-Gym and "Activities Room"-
. both smell mouldy
. the "activities room" is nothing more than a dimly-lit room with ancient couches that house cockroachs (!)

-Water "Service"-
. under the guise of repairs, they will stop your water service for a day every two weeks or so...if you're repairing it, you shouldn't have to *keep* repairing it!
. hot water is not always readily available
. on a related note, many of the dishwashers (including my own) are marked as recalled devices. the apartment notified us but NEVER replaced them!

-Elevators-
. for 50% of the time OR MORE, at least one elevator out of the three are being repaired, causing extremely long wait times. I wonder if they're being repaired by the same people who "repair" the water.
. elevator had a 6-month-expired permit...maybe that's why these elevators never work.

-Apartment Quality-
. one word: crappy
. to be fair, they repair things pretty quickly once it's reported, but it's a little frightening to have light sockets shorting out and locks not locking

-Staff-
. especially the parking manager, these are miserable power-tripping paupers who lack a college degree
