WILLIAMS RESERVE SUCKS!!!

WILLIAMS RESERVE IS WAY TOO EXPENSIVE. FOR WHAT THEY ARE CHARGING FOR APARTMENTS, THERE SHOULD BE SOME REALLY NICE FEATURES SUCH AS MAYBE WASHERS AND DRYERS IN THE APARTMENT OR STAINLESS STEEL APPLIANCES OR SOMETHING BUT THERE IS NOTHING NICE. THE WINDOWS AND THE BALCONY DOOR IS VERY DRAFTY. I HAD TO BUY AN EXTRA HEATER FOR MY LIVING ROOM TO WARM IT UP BECAUSE IT IS THE COLDEST ROOM IN THE APARTMENT. I HAVE LIVED HERE FOR 2 YEARS AND IT WAS OK AT FIRST BUT ONCE THE WINTERS COME, IT REALLY FEELS LIKE A FREEZER IN THE APARTMENT. I ALSO NOTICED THE MAINTENANCE GUYS ARE LAZY. THEY TAKE FOREVER TO FIX SOMETHING WHEN YOU CALL FOR HELP. IN THE MIDDLE OF SUMMER, MY AC WENT OUT AND BECAUSE IT WAS A SATURDAY, I HAD TO WAIT TIL MONDAY TO GET IT FIXED. I WAS SO PISSED OFF. I HAVE A CHILD AND HE WAS SWEATING LIKE CRAZY. I HAD TO KEEP RUBBING HIM DOWN WITH A COLD TOWEL TO KEEP HIM COOL. THE MAINTENANCE GUYS SUCK. THEY DON'T CARE IF YOU NEED MAINTENANCE IF ITS A WEEKEND. THE SCREENS IN THE HALLS OF THE BUILDING ARE RIPPED AND LOOSE AND BUGS FLY IN ALL THE TIME SUCH AS BEES IN THE SUMMER. GUTTERS ARE LAYING IN THE GRASS WHEN THEY NEED TO BE ON THE BUILDING. COMPUTERS AT THE CLUBHOUSE ARE NEVER AVAILABLE. THERE ARE ONLY 3 AND EITHER THERE IS ALWAYS SOMEONE ON THEM OR THEY ARE BROKEN. DON'T PICK THIS PLACE IF YOU ARE LOOKING TO MOVE BECAUSE THIS PLACE DOES NOT CARE ABOUT ANYONE. THEY JUST WANT YOUR MONEY. DON'T MAKE THE MISTAKE I DID WHEN I MOVED HERE. LOOK SOMEWHERE ELSE.

And They change their names to shrug off all their bad reviews associated with their old name. They were called "prairie brook apt" before.. Now they are called "'williams reserve"
