Don't expect a refund on your deposit

There are definitely some good things about Parkwood East. Our major selling point was that they were one of the only apartment complexes that we called that actually did short term leases. So if you're moving to the area and looking for a house, these apartments are fine, definitely livable.
We never had any problem with maintenance, and they were actually quick in replacing a leaking dishwasher.
If you have kids, there is a nice, big park right across the street with a playground, frisbee golf, picnic area, etc.
With the good, also came plenty of bad. We didn't have much of a problem with hearing the neighbors next to us, but the neighbors above us were pretty loud.
One of our biggest complaints was that the cigarette smoke smell from our neighbors apartment made our whole apartment stink, even when we would air it out all day, use carpet deoderizer, etc.
The previous comment about writing down everything that was wrong with the apartment is a great tip. We filled out a front, and half back side of a page with detailed accounts of dents and scratches and I think it was an advantage.
When we moved in we paid a $99 deposit, and are very clean people, so exptected to get it back. We had a three month, and when we moved out were told that even though the apartment was spotless we would stil be charged a stanadard $12.50 cleaning fee. Later when we received our refund, we also discovered that it is standard policy to deduct another $55 for carpet cleaning if you've lived there for less than a year. Not a huge deal, but definitely something I would have liked to have known before hand.
Overall I would recommend the apartment (on a short-term basis), but feel you should know you won't get much, if any of your deposit back.
