Crime is very high at Skyline Hills Apartments

I've lived here for a year now, but I'm currently looking for a new place. In the past year we've had multiple letters distributed from management about crime in the complex. There have been assaults and multiple break-ins. This past weekend (5/14/05) a woman was assaulted right outside of my apartment. I woke up to her screaming for help. I would highly recommend that you avoid living here. Yes, there is a gate, and yes there is security. BUT, it's not affective at keeping anyone safe. UPDATE: Moving out was hassle free for me. They did withhold some money but only $150 for cleaning (I guess everyone pays that no matter HOW GOOD you clean) and then like $50 for painting. I don’t agree that I should have had to pay this, but after the horror stories on Apt. Ratings I was happy to get back most of my money. If the crime wasn't at bad here I think I'd recomend it. In 1 year I received no less than 3 letters from management, saw no less than 5 cars broke into, and had to call the police TWICE.

I would highly recommend that anyone interested in crime statistics for ANY community in which they are interested in residing consult the local police department for correct information. Residents of a community are generally not a good resource for this information, particularly on this website.

It was $17 for painting. Stop exaggerating so much.
