Unfortunately, I can not give Longview any sort of recommendation. Although the "luxury" apartments were adequate for the price, the management of the complex was atrocious. The assistant manager Lindsay Vaughn could hardly fog a mirror and likely didn't have an IQ above room temperature. She sat around looking at the clouds all day and when asked for assistance she pointed to her superior. The manager, Erin Rodriques, was fickle and incompetent. It is imperative that you require ANY and ALL communications with her in writing because she tends to lie. Her lies are excused by passing blame (which is a common theme in this office and company) on too others. She would blame her employees, citing they didn't have the authority to make decisions or cite her superiors had her hands tied and the decisions were out of her hands. Either way, she was incapable of following through on anything that was asked of her. Her superior is Greg Marchand, who's a under educated know-it-all that likes to blame Erin and his superior for lack of production, attention, and facilitation of requests. The parking situation is a nightmare - they force you to park in separate buildings because they over book certain garages. The walls are paper thin, and the immigrant filled apartments tend to be plagued with domestic disturbances that go unchecked despite contacting the concierge or authorities. The grounds are OK, they need to hire a more competent maintenance director. The experience was so bad that i was forced to terminate my lease early and couldn't be more happy to leave.

Although my over all experience has been good, I do have to agree with you about the office staff. The window in the second bedroom leaks when it rains, not a lot but does get wet, since i moved in almost 3 years ago, and nothing has been done. My kitchen floor was ruined when the hose from the faucet to the refrigerator ice maker leaked. Now the kitchen floor is all seperated and warped. it's been that way for about 2 years now. Tom , the maintenance guy, says don't worry we haven't forgotten about you, but I have come to the realization that nothing will get done until after I move. then I will probably get blamed for it.
As far as rent goes everyone pays a different price. Erin says there's nothing she can do it's her superiors who are calling the shots along with "the market". They tried to raise the rent $200 a month on one friend and me while anothers when up $25!! Some folks who have a very similar apartment pay $200 less than me! In case no ones noticed the real estate "market" is in the tank. But yet they are haveing all sorts of incentives for new tenants. $1000 of a months rent if you refer someone and they move in. One months free rent for new tenants but yet my place with the broken floor and leaky window is somehow worth $200 more a month! Really!
