An apartment complex that is afforable for persons who like to live in a nice community. These apartments offer one to four bedroom units. Good apartments and nice neighbors. The only downfall is the apartment complex does not have a playground for the young chidren, but they have two pools. There are alot of children in the neighborhood. The community offers a community center across the street that offers a playground and indoor pool adjacent to the community center.

Part 2- I refuse to allow tenants to bash these apartments. I am a long time resident who enjoys living in this community. Of course, there have been changes that have occured in this neighborhood. We are now under a new management company from Virginia who barely knows what goes on in this community. However, as tenants we must write letters and document them to notify them of our concerns. In the past, we had a Christian Mangaer and staff for over 20 years who lived on the property and they had a special concern for all tenants. As tenants, we must speak out for the betterment of our community. Complaining about the negative is not the SOLUTION. Who side are you on' This is your community regardless of how much you may pay in rent. Don't be afraid to demand respect from children who hang in your hallways or front building. We must notify the police when issues arise. Tenants keep their mouth close, turn the other cheek, and allow the negative to happen. I don't know about you, but I refuse to stand back and allow anyone or anybody to destroy our community. So, I will begin to help my community . I encourage those who care to partake in your tenant association. Again, write letters to notify managment of your concerns. May God bless you wherever you reside.

Complaining about the negative is not the SOLUTION, but sugar coating it isn't the solution either. As residents, we need to understand that this is our home. True, these are not Section 8 aparments, but they are low-income HUD apartments, "same soup, different bowl". Which means, people living on section 8 can live in an apartment where the rent could be up to $2000. a month. That person can pay close to $20.00 or less for rent, but she can have everybody believing that the rent is close to $2000. a month. Now, say someone wanted to check up on that particular person to see if they were telling the truth, and call the apartments where that person lived. The first thing, someone might ask is: How much is a 3 bedroom there? When they are told $2000. a month, they can't necessariy say that their friend was lying, because they never asked how much their friend was paying, and then again that's nobody's business. Now, if their friend was living in a low-income HUD apartment, and told them it was $2000. a month, now you know they'd be lying. Don't put people down that's on section 8. The majority of them, about 95% of them, treat their homes and property better than those who are not. Because they appreciate what they have. Anyway, a lot of the grafitti and vandalism that's going on in our community mostly come from people who use to live around here, but choose to come back to vandalize it, or from those who live in the houses. Far too many times have I had to chase some body away from in front of my apartment building that was just about to do something they had no business doing, and do you think they cared? No, because, they weren't doing it around their homes, and we're just giving them easy access to do it here. On several occasions, I've witnessed individuals smoking weed on the stairs of the apartment building where I live. One day, while home from work, the scent came under the door of my home, and when I looked out my peep hole, I saw 3 young boys who were between ages of 13 and 15 years old. I knew each of these boys, and the 15 year old ran upstairs to his home, when I called his mother to let her know what was going on, she act as though I was lying, and that her son was in the house during the whole time. As soon as I opened my door, they all started scurrying like roaches. I picked up my cordless, called upstairs, and asked the 15 year old mother if he just ran in the house, and she told me, yeah, that he was running like somebody was chasing after him. But, when I told her what I saw, she then said "Oh no, he was in here with me during the whole time, so wasn't him. This was on a day when school is opened. 1 lived in the same apartment, another lived in the complex, and the other did not live in our complex. The person living in my building has moved. If we had better security, there would be no need to call the police, and I'm not talking about the joke that they have roaming our streets, now. I'm talking about real security. Make this a gated community, that way, outsiders won't be able to come here, and whomever let the outsiders in that causes problem, those people will also get blamed. You are responsible for your guest, and their actions. And if they are able to get through the gates, give us controlled access, so that it's hard for outsiders to get into the buildings. I tell you this much, if we had gated community, the children around here could have some place to play without somebody from down the street, or around the way, coming over and tearing it up. Our children does not need to be running across that busy highway just to have a place to play; they need somewhere to play on-site. I don't mind walking around the corner to check on my child, niece, or nephew to see if they are alright; but I do have a problem with going across the highway and doing it. Unless, you are part of an activity over there, I really wouldn't recommend anyone taking their children over there. If we were gated, the children can play safe. One of the reasons why I moved over in this area besides the low rent, were the schools. When I moved to this area, my children attended Glenarden Woods Elementary School. The high school at that time was Eleanore Roosevelt High School, and that is what encouraged a lot of the people to move here. But now, our children are still attending Glenarden Woods Elementary, but instead of attending Eleanor Roosevelt, they are now attending Duval. That's a down fall. I am not one of those neighbors that will allow the negative to happen or turn the other cheek. Those of you that allow these things to happen, they will continue to happen. It's sad when we live in a community with so many young children, and they have no place to go, and are force to stay in their homes and play, making so much noise that you just can't stand it, and their parents can't send them outside because there's nothing for them to do out there. Like I said before, we need better security. I don't want my teenage son to come walkin home from the store, or from helping a neighbor, and our so called security, throws him to the ground and aims a gun at him because "HE FITS THE DESCRIPTION". You know "Walking while black". Give our children back their community. Give them a safer place to live and play. Give them some place where they can call home. Give them back their play grounds and basketball courts. Give them the belief that no outsiders are going to hurt them. Give their parents some relief that if their young child is playing at the playground that's on-site, that nobody from the outside will chase them away because they want to partake in something illegal (gamble, smoke, drink or do whatever). These children need a safe haven, and when their parents come home from a hard day at work, a lot of times, they don't have the time to take them to another playground to play. And we all know that if we are not part of the solution, we are definately part of the problem. God Bless you.
