I lived at Dartmouth for three years. I loved my apartment, just me and my cat at the time, and I loved being able to walk to work.
What made me move' The homeless.
Dartmouth is situated across the street from the salvation army (people lined up at 7am for free breakfast), a cheap housing complex that had the fire department at it twice while I lived there - and an abandoned building that is now being refurbished into more low income housing, I believe (on the corner of Michigan and Delaware). I watched a car being stolen from my window while I called 911, I also saw the homeless peeing in the (yet again) empty gas station parking lot, the homeless also sleep behind the building at the Roberts Church. Because this isn't our property but church property, the cops don't really do anything. When I asked one of them why they hang out there and not go to the Wheeler Center, I was told the church was an easier spot for them to buy and sell their drugs.
My boyfriend at the time - his jeep was broken into three times, and one of the three times we left for work in the morning to find the homeless by the church using his just-stolen jeep tarp cover as ground covering. My boyfriend, now my husband, had to get it back with a baseball bat in hand.
My car was towed during Black Expo because the lot beside us (where we could always park before since the parking is extremely inadequate) wanted the lot to sell tickets for parking to the parade. No notice was given to residents that this could happen.
I worked my butt off making sure the apartment was spotless when I left after three years of paying rent on time, to recieve a letter that I owed them for the replacement of carpeting. Initially I had been told that every three years they automatically changed the carpeting, but I guess this taught me to never believe a THING any management will tell you because they simply want to get butts in the apartments, and your money.
I loved the apartment, though it was tiny, and loved my view, but wish the homeless hadn't been urinating on my view while I tried to enjoy it.
