Ashmore Trace has several great aspects. The location is decent. Close to the grocery, Walgreens, and K-mart. Traffic in Greenwood is a pain, but that really can not be avoided anywhere. The grounds are well maintained and I am always impressed with the thorough job done in snow removal in the parking lot and sidewalks. The new treadmill and exercise bike are great! The pool is nice. My only complaint is that sometimes the music played is a little offensive. I put headphones if I am laying out by myself, but I do not want my children hearing that garbage. I like having a gas waterheater and stove, washer/dryer connections, and the townhouse has plenty of space. I have had no problems with any of the staff.
With all of that being said, there have been a few problems. We have had ants. The staff has sprayed, we do dishes immediately after eating, wipe counters down daily, and mop floor regularly... cannot get rid of them. The winters are cold in the kitchen and entry. The air does not circulate properly, the downstairs is 10 degrees cooler than upstairs. You can be comfortable downstairs and burning up upstairs or vice versa. The dogs next door bark excessively, which does not bother me, but it drives my husband nuts. Lastly, parking can be a bit frustrating when it is raining, cold out, or have groceries to carry in.
We enjoyed the first few months at Ashmore, but were ready for a change when our lease was up. For the price, it is a not a bad place to live. If you are willing to pay a little more, I would suggest looking elsewhere.

I agree that the location is good. I also agree that the music played at the pool is garbage. And ants seem to be a big problem everywhere. I believe that carpenter ants are at work too but you can't convince them of that. I guess we'll have to wait for the walls to fall in before they believe it! The reason why the apartments are cold in the winter is because they didn't insulate properly. Look at all the water pipe freeze ups they have! I'm really surprised the remodel passed code. But I don't think it was even inspected. I agree that it's worth a little more to live somewhere better.
