Okay property for the money

I've lived here two years. I'm leaving after my lease is up for a larger space and garage for my car.
Maintenance response is outstanding. The staff is very friendly and courteous. The neighbors are unimpressive with kids that are trailerparkish. The laundry facilities were updated with more efficient equipment, no longer the half tub and extra costs with ancient dryers. New and larger tubs make it worthwhile to use.
My quibble is the parking. A lot of out of state plates take up nearby parking, presumably visitors. My windshield was broken, radio was stolen, glovebox was riffled, and trunk relieved of its safety equipment in separate incidents during the past two years. I don't lock my car, an issue raised by the staff, in order to avoid broken windows by earnest thieves. So many incidents means the lot is trolled at night by kids/thieves/prankers. My safety kit being stolen was the last straw.
I would recommend this complex to anyone with a car alarm and modest expectations. The housing itself is clean, safe, secure and well-maintained. The pool and health center are good facilities, although I always hoped the closing hours for the fitness center would be extended beyond 10 PM.
Also, the storage space should be included in the rent, not an extra monthly fee. Limited closet space necessitates extra storage space. Either that, or packrats need not apply.
The heating/cooling units are old fashioned room units, not central. Disappointing, very expensive heating/cooling costs.
