Beautiful, but not Dog Friendly

The apartments themselves are great. These are probably the nicest apts I have ever lived in! Unfortunately they are a little pricey though, but i guess you do get what you pay for. The water bills are higher in this apt than what i had when I lived in a house. You aren't billed for just what you use. There is one bill that is split evenly by how many people are living there. I don't think the people in my building were very conservative with their usage becasue our bills were sometimes close to double here than what they were at my house. They advertise how pet-friendly they are here, but your dogs are really limited here. Dogs have to use the bathroom away from all buildings or you face getting a $250 fine. This would be fine, except for the fact that there are a ton of buildings here and not enough open grassy areas. The dog park is small, but nice. The downfall is getting your dog down there without having it stop and go potty. As far as parking goes, the spots in my area are always full in the evenings and weekends and that's with vacant units! Also, people tend to have a hard time parking in their spot. The spots are plenty big, but people are always crooked or on the line and will just leave their vehicle like that. This sometimes results in a wasted parking space. I haven't had any problems with the staff or tenants. Everyone is real friendly. If you don't have a dog, this is a wonderful place to live. If you have a dog, look somewhere else. Unfortunatley Abberly Crest is not a good fit for my family.

Oh opps, never heard that rule. Was told you could be fined for not picking up feces but no one every said anything about not letting your dog urinate, including maintenance and other staff and they see me let him out all the time so not sure about that then. I never have any trouble so I'm happy!

I understand that you can clean their feces up with a bag. The problem is that dogs aren't allowed to urinate in areas near buildings! That's something that is kind of hard to stop.

I never heard of the dogs not being able to "potty" near the buildings since that is the areas where the grass is. We don't have a dog. My issue was always with the people who let their dogs crap on the sidewalks or grass and never cleaned it up then my kid would step in it on the way to the pool. I know not ALL dog owners are lazy, but I witnessed a few different people NOT cleaning up after their pets. I didn't like Abberly for other reasons but I think they are more pet friendly then some other complexes. At least they provide waste stations.

Abberly crest is one of the nicest places i have ever lived. however, the staff has the tendency to interpret the lease incorrectly and changing lease terms illegally. coming up with fines for everything they don't like but if you read the lease none of this is written in there beware of the staff and there interpretations of their leases and their fines. i currently live there and am leaving they are lucky i haven't taken them to court or contacted HHHunt about their employees. also they enter your home at least once a month sometimes more. for the amount i pay i expected privacy but they spend more time at my apartment than i do. and also if you have any maintenance issues they attempt to hold you responsible. for example my microwave above the oven was falling to pieces because of the heat from cooking the cheap plastic was cracking they tried to tell me that i would have to pay for it. i argued with them about it and they said they would order the parts for it and fix it they never come back my next step is contacting HHHunt.

Abberly Crest is very pet friendly, however they do not allow the pets to urinate directly in front of the buidlings. The urine kills the grass and looks very unsightly. Being a pet owner myself, I don't want my pet to destroy the area I live in.
