Where to start. When I first moved in this place wasn?t that bad. Nicely located, nice amenities, decent grounds. Oh, how times changed.


The office staff--they lie, they?re ridiculously unknowledgable about the complex, they change like you do your clothes every day, and they don?t give a crap.


The maintenance--don?t know what they?re doing, mess with you?re stuff, sometimes don?t bother coming.


The apartment--walls are stupid thin (why is the bedroom and bathroom always the common wall between apartments'), I mean thin like I heard my neighbor sneeze while he peed and slapped his screaming girlfriend around; appliances are ancient and don?t work; lovely 70s wood paneling on doors and cupboards; no insulation, or very drafty; quite possibly the smallest kitchen ever (I?m talking NYC size).


The parking/grounds/garbage--litter here, and litter there; garbage sits around because people are too lazy to call Salvation Army to pick up their old bed and the garbage collector won?t take it away either; quite brown grass; nice little sewage pond in front; exterior lights often out and not replaced; parking is decent, but don?t bother with covered, I don?t think they?ve bothered replacing it yet from the snow storm in ?02 where all the covered prkng fell on the cars.


I lived facing east, so I got all the noise from my loud, creepy neighbors and they?re loud and creepy children (and seriously, the neighbors are changing for the worse), from the sports bar with the sand volleyball pit (every day of the week until about 10p), from the trucks for Safeway, and sometimes from the cars on Havana.


What was good about this place even at the end: wood fireplace; extra storage; water paid; nice sized utility room; recycling onsite; decent gym/pool; oversize slots at the mailboxes for large items; residential area; right near Safeway, Target, Costco, Lowe?s, restaurants, a bevy of churches, Bel-Rea institute, and Buckingham Square (for those who might actually want to go there). But there are other decent apartments in the immediate vicinity right near all those things too.


But seriously, don?t bother here--wish this place on your worst enemy instead.
