Do yourself a favor and don't live here...

We lived at Highland Ridge in the year 2005 and had a good experience during our time there. Then we moved to Essex Place because we wanted more square feet while at the same time, keeping our rent at the same dollar.

Our roof leaks when it rains hard... The first time this occured, we called management and left a message at 2am. The next day we called to tell them that our carpet was soaked and the walls were damaged from all the water. They said they would send someone to take a look...

To make a very long story short, it took them 3 weeks to get my carpet shampooed and by then it was moldy and sour. They only shampooed 3' from the wall and there was water on the carpt that extended nearly 6'. I took pictures of the wall that had black mold growing on it and had to verbally threaten them before they sent someone over to, "fix" it. It has been a couple months or so since the incident and mold is starting to show through where maintence spray painted over it...

There is a huge ant problem. I have asked them a million times if they would please spray for ants but not once have they done anything about it... I have killed a million scout ants with my finger tip. I am so sick of ants I could scream. One of the windows fell out of the fram onto my head when I was trying to open it. It took maintence 2 days before finally fixing it.

My girlfriend and I are getting the hell out of here! I HATE THIS PLACE!!!!!!!!!!!!

They have an excuse for everything by the way...
