Yo!

Decent place with some caveats

From: -Anonymous-
Date posted: 8/5/2004
Years at this apartment: 2002 - 2004

 
Pros:

* New
* Lots of light
* Nice pool, nice gym
* Park is nice, with BBQ grills and stuff
* Seems pretty safe

Cons:

* Declining services-- cable reduced in the gym from extended to basic, access to Club Room totally cut off (this is a biggie)
* Rent goes up BIG TIME when lease ends, ours went from 1600 to 2000 for a 2 bedroom
* Hidden Charges-- garbage and water is $30/mo. their cable TV is expensive $60/mo. PG&E is higher than other complexes because each unit has a water heater
* Parking can be a problem. 1 assigned spot, hard for 2nd car.
* Smell of garbage in elevators and parking garage.


Some of these people on here obviously didn't do their homework. There are disadvantages that should be obvious BEFORE you move in:

* The surrounding area is dead after 6pm. Of course, it's all offices.
* Construction noise. Of course, there is noise when buildings get built.

Recommended: YES
