I found the Avonlea Apartments to be the most beautiful of all the aparments I looked at when I first arrived in the area.
The grounds are kept neat and clean and they're not overrun with kids or cars. They just finished tarring the parking lot so it makes the place look really new.
I felt very safe. There is always a police car or two parked in the developments.
The only noise I've ever heard was from the dog in apartment above me running about or a dog barking in an adjacent apartment, but that is normal.
The staff is very friendly and helpful. If I had a drain clog or a problem with the garbage disposal, it was promptly fixed.
If you have a school age child, you'll find Woodstock Middle and High school is walking distance from the apartments, which was a great convenience for me and my daughter.
The clubhouse has two new computers that are useful. The pool is fun in the summer. Although, the workout room could stand to have more or more modern equipment.
I used to use the laundry facilities there but I found that they were not consistently all working properly. I noticed that there is no stealing. I mean, if you left a quarter in the laundry room, it will remain there, along with any forgotten clothing item.
It's funny that another poster was complaining about guys partying because I lived next to some college kids and there were another set of college kids upstairs to the right of my apartment. I NEVER HEARD THEM. They were not a bother to me. Only when they were outside on their patio did I even know they were having a party. I never found any bottles or God forbid, condoms.
Yes, sometimes the gates are broken, but I never had a problem with stolen property. I owned 2 cars that I often left unlocked and nothing was stolen from either of them, not even the gate card which was clearly visible.
Oh, if you live on the ground floor a critter my crawl in at night. A slug (uck) will slime in if it's damp out or one of those huge roach creatures (but not like the small roaches that inhabit apartments) may end up coming in if it's cold outside.
Also, if you are going to live there for more than a year, remind them to clean your carpet for you. I didn't know it was a service they offered until a neighbor mentioned it.
I think it's a great place and would recommend it to anyone.
