Management is horrible

This is management at its worse. I personally didn't realize this, outside of ridiculous fees, until the "chemist" that blew up his apartment causing the whole building to be evacuated for 4 days situation. During these 4 days, management did not try to help out at all. The best part was they still made us pay for the 4 days that we were out and Sara, the manager, seemed to not be discomforted at all.

The fees get even better. If you have more than one car, expect to pay 50 for an outside spot or another 100 for another garage space.

Start up fees (all nonrefundable):
Move In Fee = $250.00
Administrative Fee = $350.00
Application Fee = $200.00
---------------------------
$800 you will never see again
deposit equal to your rent

The "chemist" situation brings us to the next point...Security. Background checks were supposely done but the "chemist," who was listed as a resident, had two previous arrests (one for possessing bomb making materials). Either the background check wasn't done or they looked the other way to allow him to move in; this made us weary that other residents like the chemist might still live here. Now to the front security... only one or two know English. They don't point out guest parking spots so guests park in resident spots. If you tell them someone is in your spot, they give the decency to call the person of the car and give them amble amount of time to go downstairs and move it; thus making you wait an extra 10 minutes for this to happen. Remember you paid 50 dollars a month for that spot.

If you don't mind all that, the apartments/condos are nice and big. They have a nice full size gym with free weights and pool.

I don't plan on renewing my lease here because of management.

again, if it isnt the resident that ------- about his visitors car towed b/c he was parked in another residents spot and wasnt called, its another resident bitching about blue lagoon being courteous enough to call and inquire about the car that was wrongfully parked and making them wait a measely 10 minutes so that the wrongfully parked car can move. if people havent failed to realize, a tow company takes WAYYYY over 10 minutes to get there.... like always... people ----- about the most ridculous things and i can assure you all that no condo/rental community is ever perfect...
