Well now that my time at Cape house is coming to a close I decided to write a review in hopes of giving another family some info if they r considering the complex for their future residence. First off, I have to say my experience hasn't been too bad. Apartment living has it's up's and it's downs as it is. We have been here temporarily (7 months). But within that time I'd say our neighbors have been some of the best. Half the time I wondered if we even had neighbors. On our first night here my children and I were locked out of our apt, due to a faulty lock, so our neighbor invited us in and allowed us to use his phone and much needed heat. Management has been good to us, reimbursing us for the lock and working some kinks out. Now for the not so great. My biggest complaint would have to be the pool on the older side (northern side) of the complex. Every weekend you'd think you were attending spring break n Cancun. A lot of kids get together and blast their music for all to hear,they drink, and use profanity. Now I'm not a saint, but there r children around. The younger crowd here doesn't care if there are children present. We've even witnessed some of them "playing" with each other in the pool during daylight hours! ("playing" used metaphorically) The pool behind the office is a much better one to use for families. Occasionally, if u live close to the pool, u will hear kids screaming and jumping in at 3am and also in January. Guess they enjoy hypothermia. I've also noticed the lakes r dirty. People do not pick up their dogs poop, which says a lot about the lazy tenants, not management. The "gated community" hasn't been gated in over a month, but I won't complain since the gate only works 50% of the time. (YES u can and will be locked in if that gate tries to operate again! Leaving tenants to use the exit as both an exit and entrance or vice versa) Mine as well keep it open. Any who, my apt is gorgeous. Love the space the kitchen provides. Gives me lots of room. The few upgrades have been nice plus's. The school, Chet's Creek, is just a short path walk away, which is great for us mom's. You can skip the long line of cars waiting for pick up or drop off. The location is key too. Southside seems to be a far better area of town. I'd say living here overall has been a pleasant experience. I would just recommend renting closest to the office.
