agree with the poor reviews

I am going to have to agree with most of these complaints. These apartments are very poorly put together. I realize that yes, you should check out the price and size before you sign an apartment, but many people are willing to sacrifice those things for quiet, comfortable, clean apartments. And that, you do not know until you move in.

I, for example, thought the model was decent. I thought it was a bit pricey, but worth it because I was getting a washer/dryer and cable and high speed internet with it. However, had I known that my utility bill would be so high due to poor insulation (because I move from a newer, larger place and they were about 60$ less there), and had I known the walls were so absurdly thin (again, poor insulation), and had I known the pest problem would be ridiculous, and had I known my apartment would be dirty when I moved in, and had I known the people that come in and do "work" leave your apartment worse than when they come in, and had I known the office staff would not know what they were doing half of the time, I would have done something more.
The manager of this place is pretty nice. There are a couple morons working in the office though, which I will not name, but they did tell me a couple things that were clearly not correct.

Also, there is so much noise from the car dealership behind the complex. I am thankful to have not had to live in that area, but I have a couple friends on that side of the complex and they said there is loud banging every night for awhile, first around 12:30am, then again around 6:30am. Not much the complex can do about that, but just saying for potential residents.

Parking is pretty decent, although I have seen PPS tow quite a few cars from this place. I think that is bogus, since there is always adequate parking (except in the visitor spots clearly)I see no reason to tow (all other places I have resided in have never towed or had a problem with parking).

Overall, I would not recommend this place. If you want a 1 bedroom, go check out east of FSU, along park and college. There are plenty of nice places near campus.
If you want to be away from campuses, try Twin Oaks, the Verandas, or the Reserve.
