Maybe we're an anomaly

We moved in October of 2008 and we have decided we'd like to stay at least 1 more year.

We moved in on a special so our price is a little less than their normal rates.

You must first accept that this a lower end neighborhood with quite a few inconsiderate and very loud neighbors. (not just the complex, nearby houses too). Since we've moved in we've had the cops at our door to serve a warrant on a previous tenant, and a tow truck to repo the car of yet another tenant. Again, I believe this is just the nature of the neighborhood.

Every unit has a single car garage, but you do have limited space to get it - for instance, if someone decides to park perpendicular to their own garage across from yours - then you won't be able to get in our out of your own. But to me that's just rude people.

The apartment itself. We're in an upstairs unit and love to spend time on the back porch. We don't hear neighbors through the walls, and we've asked our downstairs neighbors if we're very noisy to them. We were concerned our footsteps might be too loud, but they say we don't bother them at all (at least not compared to the overly hyper child who lived here before us). We do hear the overly loud bass stereo systems, from cars and other units - but that is not unique to this location either.

Things breaking. I re ad reviews after we'd signed paperwork and was nervous about the repair rate of thingsbut it hasn't been that much of a problem for us. Every complaint we've made have been dealt with in a week or less. (we had an air conditioning leak, the garage door opening arm separated from the garage door, and a weird bug infestation). There are some things that could stand a replace - the dishwasher is old, but it works as well as I could expect. (In my lifetime, I've never had a dishwasher that actually does a great job, this one does fine if you give things a quick rinse first), and the dryer takes longer than it should. The electronic things don't bother me - they're just old equipment, things break down when they're old... but no faster here than anything I've used before. The bath kits are plastic and don't feel like their supported right (they both creak when you stand in various places) but if they break, I feel confident that management would do something about it.

For the price, and being as close to downtown as we are, I don't really have any complaints. Maybe we're an anomaly, but that's my piece. I am sorry to those that have had a bad experience here.
