It's just okaaaaay...

Years at this apartment: 2005 - 2006
I've lived here for about 7 to 8 months now. At first, I was pretty happy with the place until I had to deal with maintenance and ants. During the winter, there isn't a problem at all with bugs. I haven't even seen one. But during the warmer months, i see ants crawling alongside my windowsill and walls. It's not a huge infestation, but enough to gross me out. An exterminator was called in, but all he did was spray something in the wall cracks. I could've done that on my own with my can of Raid.
Maintenance here is a joke. They only respond immediately if it's an absolute emergency. Otherwise, it's unpredictable. We had to live without adequate heat during the winter even though maintenance came to "fix" it numerous times. Eventually they just replaced it, but by that time it was already summer.
The plus about this place is that the apartments are huge. My friends always comment on how big the place is. There are also free utilities, which is a major plus. The bathrooms have marble sinks, which is a nice touch.
The units are pretty outdated, the closets have rickety doors that screech when you open and close them. The bathroom and kitchen cabinets are old and not very spacious, but the appliances are nice and new.
Laundry facilities are annoying to deal with. There always seems to be a machine broken, which means I have to go up or down a floor to do my laundry. People in the leasing or business center office are sometimes rude and slow.
Would I recommend someone to live here' I guess so. Its really spacious and affordable. The free utilities and great access to metro make me want to continue to live here.
