This place... man... what a joke. Where do I begin' Hmm... how about with the non-working employees in the rental office. Clearly, clearly they have no idea how to run an office. They are to busy checking out the latest videos of YouTube or gossiping about what is in the residents packages. How about doing some work! You know it is what you're there for. Lost packages and mail. Let me see... at least 3 times a week I received my neighbors mail. The maintenance crew is also a joke. When it snows... good luck... oops... don't fall. Because they do nothing to clear ice or snow from the walkways. During my final two months there, I submitted my departure letter. No one contacted me about moving out and what they need from me. I had to call them to find out my final rent due. I had to call them to find out what they needed from me, etc... As far as walk through, etc... I went into the leasing office and the manager is sitting there sprawled across the couch talking to a man. I tell them I'm here to drop off my keys, etc... And she asked. Do you have your moving out package' (What') I said, NO. She hands me a piece of paper and tells me to sign it, stating a walk thru had been done. I laughed in her face. This place is a joke. Parking is a nightmare after 8 pm. Cars are regularly broken into even with the cops living in the neighborhood. The gym is the size of a small bedroom jammed with equipment. The walls are so thin I can hear my neighbor shredding papers, washing clothes, showering, you name it. The double kitchen sink... hahahaha... you can't even fit a pot in there. Really! I think the bathroom sink is bigger than the kitchen. The closets are laughable. Just think... white wire racks... You can do better; prospective renters... look somewhere else. These apartments start at $1200 bucks a month for a 1 bedroom... but you get nothing!

The mail issue is definitely a real security issue, but unfortunately you have to call the USPS (who are the ones who actually put our mail in our boxes). I've already filed 2 complaints, and it has gotten better but hasn't disappeared. The more people that call the post office and tell them of the problem the better, hopefully they'll actually do something.

I agree, the mail situation is a huge problem. I have had express packages sent back to the sender because I have no clue when the package arrives. For the month of April, I did not receive my cable bill, cell phone bill, Electric bill and water bill. Otherwise everything else about the apartment complex is ok. I plan on moving when my lease is up due to the high cost of mortgage oops! I mean rent!!!!!
