Would only recommend if you were a college student on a budget. Not too satisfied.

I moved here with my room mate the summer after my sophomore year in college, So i have been here to 2 years and ready to move on in about a month. I have to say that its better living then in the dorms, but at the same time, I wasn't picky from the get-go because I knew that with my limited budget, it wouldn't be a 5 star living situation. HOWEVER, I do agree with some of the negative comments made.

-The management has changed about 5 times since I've been here. I does get quite annoying, and they aren't the nicest people in the world. The think that because I'm young, I'm very naive. WRONG!

-The appliances are very old! My dishwasher is currently broken (water won't drain out) I asked them to fix it, someone came by, drained the water but didn't fix the problem. I am currently washing my dishes by hand. I had to FIGHT for a new fridge because mine was leaking, thus causing mold inside and out of the fridge and wet soggy food. When we threated with the family lawyer, they did something about it. The ceiling leaked because the upstairs air condition was leaking and came through to our floor. Among those major problems Iv had my air conditioner freeze over, my toilet leaking, as well as my room mates toilet running all the time, power serges, the lights flicker every time you turn something on, especially the washer & dryer!

-There are some bug issues, but we live in Florida, you have your window, & patio door open or your going in and out of the apt. frequently, It whats expected in FL no matter where you live. (I recommend "Tero" for ants, they only sell it @ Ace Hardware and it work AMAZING!)

-When the dishwasher is "working", not even pre-washing will remove all the spots, I often had take them out and wash by hand, or put then back in for another cycle. Oh and only two of the stove burners work efficiently. I usually use my own electric skillet.

One thing I was excited about was the hot tub, but its probably worked 3 times in the 2 years iv been here. But after reading the health warnings, I'm glad I didn't use it often.

I live in the back on the coldesack, so parking want THAT bad, and the noise was doable, however the dumpster pick up loves to come empty the dumpsters at about 7am on a sat. morning. So do the lawn people.

They also raised my rent when I re-signed my lease, despite the housing market, and lack of occupancy in the community. There are cheaper ways to live, next time I'm going to rent a house for half the price. If I had a family here I would be upset about everything too. I don't blame people for all the nasty comments. I personally cant wait to move on to a nicer place.

this response is word for word right on. i mean this beware look around. for peace and health issues. oh my funny story. the reason i was given for my dishwasher leaking is my fault i used liquid dishwashing soap. it has to be powder. so i check this with repair men i use in my work. lie lie lie. and the reason i have to flush the toilet 3 to 4 times is because it is a water saving toilet. lie lie lie. i check these lies out when i am told them i have some time on my hands to do so. beware
