CityView

 

Sandwiched between a hospital with a trauma helicopter and the designated siren testing zone for the City, and with its paper thin walls, the place has always had a noise problem.

Lately it seems that the crack ----- on the corner of Boulevard and Highland has gotten herself a megaphone to add to the din.

Don't expect good service or competent maintenance - the complex has long since moved down from an A to a D rating, including some cheap remodeling in the hallways and years of neglect of its amenities.

The fitness center is especially pathetic with its dilapidated, non-functioning, and missing equipment.

In our unit they were unable to fix the air conditioner after a dozen attempts, and our electric bill topped out at a whopping $400.

Office hours are short and the office is closed on Sunday, and there's no after hours rent drop.

No wifi anywhere on the property.

Security is also a huge issue.

Your packages have to go to the office or they'll be stolen from your doorstep.

Your car is at constant risk from other tenants in the garage, and some tenants have had their doors kicked open and apartments robbed.

If you step outside the gate, you'll be instantly accosted by the homeless.

The entry gates are continually broken.

The rent's cheap for the area, but expect utility bills to add $90 for a 2 bedroom, and as mentioned, massive electric bills.

But the really big surprise is when you move out.

They will nickel and dime you to death, and lose your notice of moving out (so make sure you get a signed acknowledgement) so that they can bill you for hundreds of dollars.

There are 7 guest spots for over 400 units.

Give this slum a miss until Equity sells it to some other company that cares.
