I was very pleased with my time at Woods of Britton, and if I didn't have to move to Illinois I would still be living there.

Parking:
I was always able to find parking relatively close to my apt, however sometimes all the spaces near my place were taken and I'd have to park 40-50yds down the row, but that was rare.

Noise:
Yes, it is right next to 37, and yes you'll hear the traffic. My apartment was in one of the buildings closest to the road, so literally standing on my balcony I was looking right at 37. I honestly didn't mind all that much, never did I think to myself, "damn those cars are loud!" The only time you can really hear them anyway is when the weather is nice and you have your windows open, and then it's just a bit of background noise.
In terms of other noise, I found the apartment to be very well built/insulated, to the point where in my entire year there I NEVER heard a peep from any other tenants. Maybe I lucked out and lived near quite people, but aside from the sounds of 37, my place was totally noise-free.

Grounds/Safety:
I'm no landscape architect or anything, but I thought the grounds were very attractive and well-kept. Grass cut regularly, hedges trimmed, flowers planted nicely - I was actually proud to bring friends to my place so they could see how nice my complex was.
The grounds are well-lit and inviting. I'd frequently go for jogs around the complex late at night, and it was always a pleasant experience, never any "questionable" activity going on or weirdos lurking about to make my want to alter my route. Instead, friendly people who would wave as I went by.

Construction:
From my experience, I never had a problem with perceiving the apartment to be cheaply constructed. The washer/dryer however are VERY basic models (read: cheap), but that's just being nit-picky, they worked and I had clean clothes on my back.

Maintenance:
Only had a few instances when we had to put in a maintenance request. One time our water-heater was dripping (there was a drip-pan so nothing was getting wet, but we could hear it dripping), and was fixed promptly the next day. There are lots of spiders in the grounds around the complex, be prepared to have many webs and dime-sized arachnids making their home on your balcony. Was never too big a deal, the complex is aware of the spider issue and will come out and spray your balcony whenever you request it. And it was only outside, inside was totally bug-free.

Staff:
The staff were great, never any issue whatsoever. Always very friendly and helpful. We also rented a garage unit because my roommate and I had so much crap we needed the extra space. The garages are NICE, with a big truck parked inside, was plenty of room for storage, plus there are electric outlets in there for you. Really, they are nice garages - we could have rented it out to a homeless guy to live in, but we needed the space :)
Anyway, about the garage, when we first visited and got a quote for what our expenses would be for the year, they put down the wrong price for the garage - $45 instead of $90. When we went to sign the lease, we noticed that the lease had the correct price of $90 written in for the garage, but they changed it to $45 because that's what we had been incorrectly quoted. I thought that was a class act.

So overall, this place was great - and I'd still be living there if I didn't move out of Indiana.

I see that below you can add pictures of the apartment, and while I don't have any photos, I do have a video walk-through that I sent to my parents:

(Edit: Apparently you can't type question marks in this field without them being replaced, so replace [question mark] above with an actual one.)

I lived in the 2 bedroom "Walnut" floor plan.
