I lived there from may 2004 I had just moved in FL and was not aware of the area much. I went for the money basically. If I had to do it again, please I would have skipped that place. 1st of I was not able to view my apartment until move in date... when my friend was receiving my furniture for me as I was stuck still at work near 4:00pm I received a phone call from him where he asked me if I saw the apartment I was getting. I stated that they were painting and doing carpet each time I showed up and never had a chance to. THE DESCRIPTION OF THE OVEN AND FRIDGE AND WASHER AND DRYER WAS EXTREMELY SHOCKING!!!! FELT LIKE THEY WERE FOUND IN THE STREET OF HARLEM AFTER YEARS OF USAGE AND ABUSE. I WAS UPSET WHEN I CALLED THE OFFICE AND STATED THAT I WANTED TO CANCEL THE CONTRACT SINCE I HAVE 3 DAYS TO DO SO IN THE STATE OF FL.
THEY DID NOT TAKE ME SERIOUSLY... I GOT "HOME" TO FIND THE NASTINESS... WATER AND YELLOW GREASE WERE ALL OVER THE DISHWASHER (MAY BE A CAUSE OF SERIOUS ILLNESS) THE FRIDGE WAS RUSTY AND PEELED OFF... THE BOTTOM METAL WAS NOT THERE INSIDE ALL AREAS WERE CRACKED. YOU COULD NOT PUT UR FOOD ON A SHELF FOR IT WOULD FALL TO THE BOTTOM.
I REQUESTED TO HAVE ALL APPLIANCES CHANGE AND I WAS TOLD IF THE FREEZER CAN DO ICE, THE MANAGEMENT WOULD NOT REPLACE IT. I CALLED A FRIEND TO HELP ME OUT. HE THEN CALLED THEM AND STATED HE WAS TAKING MY CASE AND I WAS A NEW TENANT AND HE WANTED THE ADDRESS OF THE MAIN OFFICE WHICH HE WAS REFUSED. 10 MINUTES LATER I GOT A CALL FROM THE OFFICE WHERE THEY STATED HAVING ORDERED A NEW FRIDGE. I TOOK PICTURES OF THE WHOLE PLACE AND BROUGHT THEM THE ONE FOR THE DISHWASHER SO IT WOULD ALSO GET REPLACED.
IT WAS DONE THAT THURSDAY (4 DAYS LATER).

WHEN MOVING OUT, THEY STATED THEY WILL SEND YOU YOUR DEPOSIT AT YOUR FORWARDING ADDRESS BUT IN REALITY THEY DONT USE IT. THEY SEND (AS PRACTICE) A LETTER CLAIMING FEES FOR MAINTENANCE OF THE APARTMENT: SUCH AS CARPET; PAINTING...ETC
SO THEY SENT THE LETTER TO THE ADDRESS AT THIS LUMP (WHEN I NEVER USED THEIR MAILBOXES BECAUSE OF SECURITY REASONS THESE MAILBOXES ARE BROKEN.. THEY DID NOT USE MY USUAL PO BOX BUT THE ADDRESS THEY KNEW I WOULD NOT HAVE ACCESS TO UNLESS GOING TO THE BROKEN BOXES. SO NORMALLY YOU HAVE A FEW DAYS TO REPLY TO THE CLAIMS... WELL THEY BASICALLY TOOK THE MONEY FROM MY SECURITY SINCE I HAD NEVER RECEIVED THE LETTER.

BEWARE BEWARE DON'T BE A FOOL. THE CRIMES HAPPENING THERE... ONE WEEK AFTER I LEFT A LITTLE BOY GOT SHOT BY MISTAKE WHEN BEING INSIDE THE HOME. THE BULLET CAME FROM OUTSIDE. CRIME IS EVERYWHERE BUT IN SOME AREAS YOU ARE MORE AT RISK.
LOOK FOR OTHER PLACES... NO LIGHTS AT NIGHT; ROOTS OF TREES BREAK THE PAVEMENT; NOISE NOISE AND TOTAL CHAOS IN SOME AREAS; NO LANDSCAPING NASTY GRASS..(WHAT GRASS''!)
