Don't even consider moving here

From: -Anonymous-
Date posted: 9/16/2004
Years at this apartment: 2002 - 2004
 

During the 2 years that I lived here, they went through about 5 apartment managers as well as a name change (used to be called Woodlawn Manor).

Some were better than others, actually when i left in May '04 the woman there at the time was probably the best yet.
The biggest problem, MAINTENANCE! Or should I saw lack thereof.

Some problems were never fixed, not in 2 years.

My dishwasher never worked.

They didn't come once a month to spray for bugs as promised in the lease agreement.

If something broke, you could either fix it yourself or forget about it.

I learned to deal with the shoddy plumbing (ALWAYS had problems with that) and lack of hot water for an ENTIRE MONTH! Yup, during Dec.

of '03 I never had hot water.
I never felt safe in this neighborhood.

It's not in the best part of town, I would DEF avoid if you have children or live alone.

I heard stories of car theft, break-ins, shottings, stabbings, drug deals, you name it.


I could go on and on about what a BAD experience this was, but I'll let you make your own decision.

If you decide to move here though you're out of your mind.

I was initially attracted to the large floorplans and French doors, but now I know that is hardly worth the suffering I endured living in this hellhole.
