Not a bad place to live.

Years at this apartment: 2004 - 2006
 
We've lived in the same apartment here for almost 3 years now. Obviously when Josh and Lisa were here things were better. They were the kindest souls who helped everyone and got everything done the first time. But in all my apartment expiriences, they went way above and beyond in comparison. So you can't really compare people to them.

This new management came in and things kinda went downhill for a while. They were kind of rude and unhelpful but I fell like they're getting better. We had one of the largest rainfalls within 24 hours after they came and it caused a lot of leaks that needed to be fixed. I feel like they handled that situation pretty well.

You have to realise these apartments are 20 years old. Josh and Lisa moved to the Habana Apartments over by the Wal Mart near Gunn Highway. Those apartments are only 5 years old and are amazing, but you certainly pay for it. The one maintenance guy always seems drunk and they only have him pick up garbage around the apartment. But hey someones gotta do it. The skinny man with the glasses and big john are awesome and fix stuff rapidly.

Here at newport we have 2 Sherriffs who live within the complex, which is always a bonus. Their presense certainly must cut down on shady things that happen here. The bad tennants are slowly moving out and we're getting better ones in. I don't know about everyone else but we're happy with our neighbors now new and old.

My worst complaint since the new management has arrived is the pool is constantly dirty. It looks like an oak tree crashed landed into it. And I really love to sit at the pool here so thats tragic.

They keep the grounds here really nice to this day. Seems like twice a week the landscapers are out there and they do a fabulous job. Not to mention the one maintenance man actually seems to pick up all loose litter effeciently.

As with all apartment complexs theres a couple bad egg neighbors. But like I mentioned they're slowly leaving and we're getting better people in. Hopefully all the white trash and ghetto neighbors decide to relocate. I'd be very happy.

As to the new management. They had some big shoes to fill with Josh and Lisa. I think they are coming around now and are friendly and very helpful. They were probably just kind of nervous. Especially if they had read previous ratings on this complex. Like I said, big shoes to fill. Even the supposid "Bitchy" manager has been very nice and helpful to us.

Overall. I would recommend these apartments.
