Shortly after I moved in, I began to notice the apartment complex's short falls. There are no amenities other than the pool and what they call the "community area" which is basically a grill and a covered patio. There is not much to do there, but I guess in a way the cheap rent makes up for it. It took management a while to get the pool cleaned up, so for a while I didn't want to go near it. The noise at this complex is HORRIBLE!! The person above me sounds as though they are stomping continuously (when they are simply just walking) and when the sliding glass door opens, my window below it vibrates and it sounds like thunder. I can even hear their cabinet doors shut and the vacuum when they run it. Now that there is assigned parking, I have people walking along the back side of may apartment constantly to visit with someone because it seems that they moved all of the guest parking to one end of the complex. Now my husband has to park in a guest parking spot (and walk quite a ways to our building) because we are only allowed one parking spot per apartment. The inside of the apartments REALLY need to be updated. I have stains all on the inside of the cabinets; the linoleum is peeling up not only in the kitchen but the bathroom, too. I have cigarette burns in my carpet from the previous tenant, broken blinds, windows that won't stay open (I have to prop them open), missing light covers and a dish washer that doesn't work worth anything. The lack of storage in my unit is another issue in itself. I have to make sure that I don't leave anything outside that is of any value (ex. my grill) because things have a tendency to "walk off". Now that there has been a management change.... the office is only open during the week while I am at work. So if I ever need to go into the office for anything, I have to take time off to do so (this includes going into the office to get my air filters that they require we change monthly). One last thing.... management keeps telling tenants that have pets to please pick up after them and not allow them to relieve themselves along the grassy areas by the pool or behind the apartments. This is still an issue because every time I walk out of my back door, it's like stepping in a mine field. Needless to say, someone is not picking up after their pet, which is EXTREMELY rude and inconvenient to those of us that do. If you are a person that can over look these kinds of things.... then by all means, be my guest and sign that lease.... I will be moving out soon!! The only thing that has kept me there this long is the cheaper rent.

I moved into ashley glen in Feb 2009 and I love it! I lived in a 500 sq foot apartment that had no dishwasher, no washer and dryer hook ups, no porch, and was paying more per month than at ashley glen. I now have all of those ammenties. I havent had any problems with the apt being dirty or stained. The carpet wasnt new when I moved in, but it was freshly shampooed and was clean. The blinds in the apt were brand new, even still had the tags on them. I havent noticed a problem with noise but I do live upstairs. But in my previous apt, I lived down stairs and any apt you live in, you hear the person above you! The parking spaces are assigned. There is only one spot per apt, but there is plenty of additional parking on the side of the complex. The complex isnt that large, so the walk isnt that long, if you do have to park in the additional spaces and walk! The only thing I really do agree with, is the fact that people do not pick up after their dogs. I personally own a dog, and when I moved in I was instructed to pick up after him, as I would have reguardless. The apt complex even supplies bags to pick up the feces with, so it just comes down people being out right lazy!
