This place is extremely overpriced. I moved here from Michigan in 2007 and went from paying $742 a month for a beautiful 2 bed 2 bath apt to living in this ---- hole and paying $1352 a month. Some people speak highly of the amenities but they aren't even that great. The food in the convenience store is overpriced and is usually stale and expired. The restaurant is a dump and smells like urine. The elevators and the hallways usually smell like vomit. The 41 building is the only halfway decent building and that's only because the leasing and management offices are in this building. Maintenance isn't that great and I'm not sure they even know what they're doing half the time. I've had several leaks in my bathroom and one of the maintenance workers told me there was never a leak when there was visible mold all over my ceiling. And don't even get me started on the air conditioning situation. I've never experienced anything like that and I'm dreading the summer.
The only positive thing I can say about this place is that I have always felt safe living here and the parking isn't too bad. I have know idea what people are talking about when they say this place is infiltrated with drug dealers. The only people I see around here are old Indian people and non English speaking Polish chicks.

There used to be a lot of drug dealers that hung around the restaurant/bar. Cops must have finally cracked down on them.
