I lived in Northlake for about a year when I first moved to the area on a military transfer (Go Navy!). I needed something fast and Northlake was on a list that the offered military direct-pay rent.

It was cheap, so I took it. But I didn't know any better back then.

The experience was very bad. My washer and dryer never worked correctly. All the closet doors would put on incorrectly and would run off their tracks. The floors in my apartment weren't even level!

Neighborhood children were always running around outside unattended -- probably playing with fire.

Also, I had to remove my shoes when I walked around or the old man that lived downstairs would come up and yell at me.

My other downstairs neighbor was nicknamed, "Crack------." (Pretty picture, huh')

And the management staff was never in the office to handle anything.

Anyway, I got out of that place as soon as I could and moved to a much better apartment in Germantown.

I still say the place is cheap in rent, but beware because you get what you pay for. As for quality of life, I hope the military has taken Northlake off of its list of recomendations because they pay us servicemembers enough to where we can live somewhere that's not a "combat zone."

I recently deployed to the Gulf in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom and, honestly, it was better than Northlake.
