My roommate and I lived there last year. The noise from the gun range can bother you. They (maintance) come into your apartment and spray for pests whether you are home or not, so privacy is an issue. Furthermore, on one occasion I was walking my dog and found the maintenance keys left in the dumpster key hole that is uses to compress the trash. It was 11:30pm, and no one was around. I came back 15 minutes later after my walk, and saw the keys still there. I removed them and took them to our apartment. In the morning I went to the club house to return them and I saw the wife of our maintenance man walking in the parking lot. I called to her and gave her the keys, and her responses was an unconcerned " I was wondering where we left these". This key set had the ability to activate the trash compacter and open any apartment, so security and safety are questionable. One another occasion my roommate received a call at 4am asking if our building was on fire. She looked out our second story window and realized that two buildings over flames were coming from the roof of the apartment building closest to the gun range. She woke me up and we went out on the balcony. There was no noise. The fire department was delayed in arriving because the apartment complex has a gated entrance with no operation feature that allows police or emergency services to enter quickly. So if you move there and call 911 give them the gate code or it will be a long wait. Another issue the gate code is only unknown to emergency personal, if you order pizza they will ask you over the phone if the code still... or at night when you pull in, a car may follow you because the gate stays open for several minutes, or someone really smart will just walk around the gate, because that is all it is. There is no fence, just grass protecting the apartments from the dangers of Dade City. But the best piece of information is after we moved out, I received a call from the management stating that the carpet was so bad it would take $1000. to replace it and they wanted me to send them a check because they felt my dog ruined it. This is the same place I paid a non refundable pet to, plus extra every month, for a 20 pound pug dog. I ignored their call, confident that the carpets were not ruined, because he is house broken, and sure enough after two months when they realized they could not get any more money nor had an legal way to do so, I received another message stating that they washed the carpets and all was well.
