The Real Deal about ashland commons!

From: -Anonymous-
Date posted: 9/29/2007
Years at this apartment: 2003 - 2006
 
I have lived here for almost 4 years. This complex and apartments are not bad for the very low rent based on your income level. What I will say about the people that live here is a whole different story!
1. There are no pets allowed all though at LEAST half of the complex has cats.- let me tell you, 99% of those cats are outside cats that kill and eat small rodants,reptiles, and bugs and are seen EATING and walking around with them in their mouth.
2.At the very front of the complex there is a huge problem with teenagers that hang out in large groups of 15 or more and smoke blunts, yell argue and fight very loudly.
3. Most people in this complex gossip and will try to get other tenants involved. My suggestion- keep to yourself dont make friends and everything will go smoothly!
4.Be very aware that at least half of the complex is on some sort of drugs(mostly crack) and or drink alschol on a daily basis.
Again no one will bother you as long as you keep to your self and dont take any ****!
All in all this place was an ok place to live for as long as I have.
At market value though it would NEVER EVER be rented. appliances are out dated and the minimum of qaulity supplies are used.
I keep my house in very clean conditions and pretty much repair anything minor.
I have noticed that other tenants who complain a lot about their apartments and things falling apart, are also the above gossipers that I have mentioned, or live in complete filth with their OUTSIDE cats.
This does prove to be self explanatory for minor issues ie.. mold growing,leaky faucets,carpet in bad condition and lifting from the floor,kitchen and bathroom flooring lifting from water damage,damage to walls and doors.
5.Everyone gets 1 numbered asigned spot. If you are planning on having company make sure they come early and not on the weekend. People who have numberous people living with them also have numberous cars.visitor parking is often full!
6.The laundry room is reasonable but can be scary. People have been known to live in there. I personally have not seen anyone living in there. management will leave professianl notes on the laundry room and people living in there and people that have been court ordered off the grounds. It is moderatly clean in the laundry room and it costs $1 to wash and $1 to dry.(great price)
As for the community,Ashland is extremely clicky, class verification is made by your street location and household income. If you are planning on making lifelong friends with these people make sure they are very busy and WORKING class people otherwise they will have too much time on their hands and like the drama!
Ashland is over priced and as far as I am concerned lacking class.
