TERRIBLE PLACE TO LIVE!! BEWARE

MOVING INTO FIRESIDE PARK WAS THE WORST DECISION OF MY LIFE! THE MANAGEMENT STAFF IS TERRIBLE!! RUDE AND TOTALLY INCOMPETENT! LET ME SAY THAT AGAIN: THE MANAGEMENT IS TERRIBLE!! RENTER BEWARE!! THE APARTMENT ITSELF IS TERRIBLE, OLD CARPET, OLD APPLIANCES, AND THE CHEAPEST POSSIBLE FIXTURES. THE BATH TUB AND TOILETS... CIRCA 1950'S. THE GAS STOVE IS SO OLD IT SCARES ME. I SMELL NATURAL GAS ALL THE TIME. GOOD THING I DON'T SMOKE... THERE IS A WASHER AND DRYER BUT THEY ARE SO OLD I DON'T USE THEM... BESIDES THERE IS NO EXHAUST FOR THE DRYER SO ALL THE LINT IN THE AIR COVERS EVERYTHING IN YOUR APARTMENT. THE MAINTANTENCE STAFF IS JUST AS INCOMPETENT AS THE MANAGEMENT. THEY "FIX" THINGS... ONLY TO HAVE TO COME AND "FIX" IT AGAIN AT A LATER DATE. THIS IS A PET FRIENDLY PLACE, LOTS OF LOOSE CATS AND DOGS RUNNING AROUND. AS FOR CRIME, LOOK OUT! THIS IS A LOW INCOME HOUSING APARTMENT COMPLEX SO YOUR NEIGHBOR IS GETTING A FREE RIDE FROM UNCLE SAM... THAT'S RIGHT ALL THEY PAY IS UTILITIES. SPEAKING OF UTILITIES, THE WINDOWS ARE SO TERRIBLE YOUR HEATING BILL WILL BE $150.00 OR MORE A MONTH... AND THAT'S CONSERVATIVE. DON'T FORGET YOU HAVE TO PAY ELECTRIC AND WATER AND GARBAGE IN ADDITION TO THE GAS. FIRESIDE PARK TRIES TO FOOL YOU INTO BELIEVING THIS IS AN IDEAL PLACE TO LIVE. WRONG!!
SECURITY IS NONEXISTENT... THERE WAS A RAPE HERE A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO. AND A FIRE LAST YEAR!! THAT PART OF THE COMPLEX IS STILL NOT REPAIRED. IF YOU ARE A FEMALE, YOU DON'T WANT TO BE OUT AT NIGHT BY YOURSELF. I HAVE SEEN LARGE GROUPS OF "MEN" GATHERING IN FRONT OF THE APARTMENTS LATE AT NIGHT...
DON'T BE FOOLED BY WHAT APPEARS TO BE CHEAPER RENT... YOU WILL PAY IN OTHER WAYS!
IF YOU ARE CONSIDERING FIRESIDE PARK.... RECONSIDER!!!
I DO NOT RECOMMEND FIRESIDE PARK.
OH YEAH IF YOU DO DECIDE TO TAKE THE LEAP, CHECK THE RENT FEES... MY NEIGHBOR HAS THE SAME IDENTICAL APARTMENT AS I DO AND PAYS $400.00 LESS THAN I DO... HUH'' YEP IT SEEMS LIKE THEY CHARGE WHAT EVER THEY WANT... I THINK THE WORD IS GETTING AROUND, BECAUSE THERE ARE A LOT OF EMPTY APARTMENTS HERE....
GOOD LUCK!
