Oh it's not THAT bad.

It's bad, don't get me wrong. It's bad, but it ain't THAT bad. My biggest complaints are 1.) The rent keeps going up, and I haven't had a single upgrade in my living conditions, in two years my rent has gone up from 820 to 970. 2.) The horrendously untrained and unhelpful management staff. You're better off just dealing with whatever is going on yourself. In my experience, they just don't care about you or your issues. 3.) Noise, for about the 1st 8 months I was here, there was a particular vehicle with an amazingly loud alarm that seemed to go off constantly, and one set of downstairs neighbors that liked to hang out late. And lastly, the window unit AC unit does an adequate job of cooling the main living area but the rest of the apartment is SOL.

Those issues have been annoying, but they have been relatively rare for me. As a young struggling professional Parkview Gardens was a good choice for me to get my feet under me and move on to something better. I would not recommend it to anyone without a long term plan to move up, but for a year or two it ain't that bad.
