I lived in Oakleigh for a year and a half, and I hated every moment of it! It is the oldest, nastiest apartment I have ever stepped foot in. I can handle shag carpet, ugly wall paper, and a microwave that's manufacture date is 1977, but when the rat problem started I was disgusted. There was a rat the size of my shoe (size 6) in my kitchen. The office made like it was not a big deal to have a sewer rat in the place you cook and live! My fiance had to go out and purchase traps, and luckily we caught the disease ridden rodent ourselves. I had many more rats in my attic that would keep me up scratching all night. When I let the office know for the 20th time, the girl just said, "They like to come in when it's cold. Wait until it is hot and they have died up there." Can you believe that'! I almost reported them many times for rat problems and overflowing, foul smelling dumpsters...which were about 10 feet from my window. Not to mention that my downstairs neighbor had to move out due to a total mold infestation, the lights were always out in the parking lot and hallways, my downstairs neighbor listened to the loudest rap music ever, and they NEVER raked the three feet of wet rotting leaves that would pile up from all of the ugly rotting trees. I would NEVER recommend living in Oakleigh...unless if you like nasty rats, rotten dumpsters, ugly apartments, and RUDE office workers!
