I'm perplexed about the negative reviews I see on here re: Top of the Hill. I've lived in 5 apartment complexes in my life, and visited many others. TOTH was far and away my favorite home and I was sorry I had to leave it due to career changes. I found the office staff extremely courteous and helpful; maintenance to be professional and timely; and my apartment itself just wonderful. The grounds as well are beautiful if you like trees and hills and woodsy living. I'm not sure why I'm even spending my time defending them since I don't live there anymore, but I was just struck by how hard people were knocking this place. I thought it was great. To be fair, there are some parking issues, as many of the buildings do not front along the lots and so the closest spaces are usually filled first. If you get home late you may have to walk an extra hundred yards. And the windows are a bit dated in style and construction, though no "flimsier' than many I've dealt with before. But gas is included in rent, so whoever is complaining that it was causing them unusually high heat bills, was out-and-out making that up. Though it was included, I had my own furnace and controlled my own temperature and was always plenty warm. Furthermore, I was not aware of any particular crime wave while I was living there. I rarely saw police in the neighborhood; there was no graffiti or litter; no people hanging outside causing trouble. I am certainly unaware of any shootings!!! I only rarely heard my neighbors. This complex is in a very nice middle-class neighborhood. There are Lexuses and Mercedes in the parking lots. This complex is far from the slum it is being portrayed as. I suppose in any apartment situation there will be occasional problems with the odd resident, but I never saw anything like what's being posted here. Someone suggested checking with the police and the consumer affairs office. Do that. I may be all wrong about my experience. But I'll bet they'll tell you this complex has far fewer problems than many others. (And for the record, I loved the spectacular Christmas display down at the corner. So it took you 5 minutes longer to get home a couple nights a year - big deal. There's a back way you could go anyway. What a Scrooge!)
