I have lived here for some time now. You have good moments and bad moments. One nice thing is the same office staff has been here over 4 years. Can't really say that for other apartment complexes. The office staff has always been friendly and understanding, but only can do so much with the tools that are given them. Remember, these folks just work in the office, handle calls, paper work etc. They do not make the financial decisions as far as how much is spent to pay people here or the money paid to contract folks to come in and do a job either. The on-site maitenance fellas are as competant as you can get for what they pay them to do. For the most part they can fix just about anything that goes wrong but as with anyone entering your home to make a repair, you have to watch them and make sure they get it right the first time. Yes, I have had several major inconveniences while living here, but there is far worse out there.

If you chose to reside here, understand these facts up front and then make your decision:
1. There is a train that passes by frequently throughout the day and night and you can hear it. Really it's no big deal as you'll get use to it.
2. The walls and floors are paper thin. If you live under someone you'll know when they use the facilities, if they sneeze, what they are saying on the phone, conversations with someone else in the apartment. Basically you have no privacey living under someone.
3. Yes, the complex is somewhat old and Fogelman who owns the property has not done any updating. Windows occassionally leak, waterheaters are old if they haven't been replaced due to busting. There is water damage evident along floor boards, walls, ceilings etc. But can be covered up with paint.
4. Appliances are old and could stand to be replaced.
5. Yes, the maintenance staff is overwhelmed and short staffed. Since this is an old complex, something is always going wrong and it's usually major. You just have to stay on top of your request for something to be fixed and understand that they'll be there when they can.
6. Remember this, always keep a smile on your face and be polite when dealing with the folks in the office. Being nice goes a long way to getting what you want rather than being mean. LIke I said, they can only do for you what they can with what they have.

Overall, Fogelman could stand to invest in a major renovation of each apartment as someone vacates.

For the price, space and location, this is a good deal for the money. It's far from ideal or perfect, but it's somewhat acceptable if you are willing to accept it isn't a Post Property, whereby you'll pay out the nose for an apartment the size of a shoe box.
