I've lived at Summerview for a little over one year. The Good: The apartment layout is nice and it is roomy for a one bedroom and I love the washer and dryer hookups. Lots of cabinet space. The area is clean and very quiet and neighbors for the most part are decent. Management and staff are great. Nice Neighborhood with convienent shopping and restaurants. The Bad: Appliances are old and energy inefficient and self cleaning ovens did not work or were not repaired. Garbage disposal is a joke being very small. The repainting and cleaning over the years has been fair to poor, with oversprayed paint on much of the wood cabinets in the kitchen. Old counter tops with knife marks. Carpet, although it looked clean, upon first spill I tried to clean up was in reality, filthy. Windows are old and inefficient with direct access to the outdoors through drain holes. Toilet sometimes takes 2-3 times to flush, in fact, I've used water from the kitchen to flush it, no access to toilet innards. No way to change air/heat filters routinely without asking maintenance. Hot tub has never bubbled and recently lost all heat. Parking spaces EXTREMELY Small and not enough parking. Can't BBQ on porch due to lease restrictions and flames. No place to wash a car. Cabinet space above washer/dryer in my apartment, leans approximately 3 degrees downward. Caulking around tub poorly done and mildew grows under it that can not be cleaned off. I live downstairs and it's very easy to hear the upstairs apartment noises, specifically the bathroom. The VERY BAD: Charges for Utilities on top of rent (water, sewer & garbage) are very high averaging over $36 per month with no seeming accounting for the bill, only a bill. Note, my bill for this small apartment averages 1/2 my total bill when living in a large single family home with lots of landscape, water use, etc. No answers from management as to how they calculate.
