Ashley Forest Apartments

From: -Anonymous- Date posted: 9/15/2004 Years at this apartment: 2003 - 2004   I have not enjoyed living at Ashley Forest Apts. There have been a multitude of disappoints. The bugs have been the most intolerable part.They are so large is size it will literally scare you. You're level of cleanliness has nothing to do with whether you have them or not. Why' Because I maintain a very clean home, use bag liners in my trash can, take the trash out daily, have purchased bugs spray repeatedly at my expense, spray monthly and still have them. It's ridiculous! Some of them have multiple legs. My husband scooped them up in a bag, took them Lowe's and asked for a recommendation of what to buy to get rid of them. They recommended a spray that has helped to eliminate most of them, but we were informed that the multi-legged bug was some different breed / species of a cockrock...crazy!! The noise level is bad as well. You hear everything going on with your neighbors. This including there restroom visits, conversations, sexual activity and entry and existing of their apartments. I realize some degree noise it to be expected but not to this extent It's crazy. If I live on the second floor I should not be able to hear the activities of my above and below neighbors and clearly decipher between the two. Insulation is a problem too. For what you may save in cheap rent, you give away to Sawnee Electric. ALL heat and air condition escapes through the windows and doors. The staff is responsive in that they react to your complaints, but I can't say they are proactive. The parking is fine everywhere except at the apartments near the front of the property. Maintenance for the most part is OK. They are fairly friendly and repair things in a reasonable amount of time. For me it has been a disappointing experience living here for the above mentioned negatives. If you don't mind bugs, noise and giving away your money to a utility company you'll enjoy your stay. I will be moving on at the end of my lease.
