I have lived at Fountain Village for almost 3 years now. I have been a good renter and paid on time, although I was late once and believe the main office could offer a "grace period" to tenants who are responsible over a year's time or more. I am disappointed by the lack of basketball hoops on the courts, some days I'd like to be able to go shoot hoops and not just throw a basketball at a plain backboard with no rims. Parking seems better this year, although in the past, I never understood why I was unable to find a spot in my lot. I suspect people may manufacture fraudulent ID tags for the rear view mirrors of guests. That's one theory.

Overall, this is a convenient and quiet area close to Hartford and the Buckland area of shopping. I do live on the ground floor so at times I find it a bit annoying that people walk on the ceiling and pound their floor at all hours. Otherwise, you adjust. I think the maintenance staff is decent although they should do a yearly inspection of the apartment to see if they can improve conditions for tenants, and make sure nobody has smuggled pets in there. I did see a squirrel come out of one apartment building.

I definitely recommend the living here. Just make sure you park early enough to get a spot, dont take a room near where the guy uses his chainsaw at 7AM and bring a flashlight to the basement where you do laundry, to make sure no critters get ya!
