Promenade Towers

This Place SUCKS! From: -Anonymous- Date posted: 7/28/2006 Years at this apartment: 2003 - 2006   The water does get shut off...a lot! About 3-4 times a month, which is too much. Management sometimes does not give notice of the water shut offs, and they frequently have "emergency" shut offs. However, how much of an emergency can it be when management knows that the pipes need to be repaired and fail to do so. The parking is also an issue. Most of the lots have tandem parking. This would not be bad if the staff were there to move the cars when you are ready to leave. A lot of times you have to stand around for several minutes (I've waited for 15 minutes before) waiting for the guys to return from thier posts. They often leave to go to the store and leave thier posts unattended. When you are going out, you always have to schedule in extra time to figure out where they parked your car and give yourself time to find the parkinging guys. For the most park, most of the parking staff is nice. However, there are a few that are complete a##holes! Also, they lost my keys and when I complained the the parking manager, his response is "this happens sometimes". ALthough I was compensated for having to get another master key made, I was missed my classes for that day and had to upfront the money. Also, even though I live here, they towed my car which had the appplicable parking sticker and was parking in the correct space. Before I list the pros of this apartment, here are a few more cons. The buildings are really hot during the summer. Air conditioning in apartments works but not very well. Although there are 3 elevators, one or two are often in not functioning or for some reason get stuck on floors. The maintence guys are sloppy and make a mess when conducting repairs. They leave a huge mess which they do not clean up (mud,etc.). If you don't mind bugs, then this is the place for you. Management is ok. They often act as if all the problems are out of their control, which may be the case. If you need something fixed (the right way) prepare for the maintence people to make more than one trip and prepare to call and make several requests for the same problem. The pro (there is only one positive feature of this building) is the low rent.
