Tamarlane-the future looks "Rosey"

Having moved to the state recently, Tamarlane was the second place we looked at, the first should've been condemned (seriously) it was that bad. Tamarlane is a palace in comparison.
Tamarlane's rent was actually better value than 'Place A' and that's before they put in a dog run, gymnasium, and all the other great upgrades that have been spoken of and i can see in progress from my window.
Maintenance on the property itself is carried out on a regular basis and done well and the the place looks more beautiful as Spring arrives. Flowers already in bloom.
Any household maintenance issues have been worked around my schedule and carried out to a very high standard in a professional and timely manner. There is also 24hr on call maintenance (never had to use them) nice to know they care about their residents, many apartment complexes i have lived in just want the rent check.
My only complaint is the snow removal, this has been reported to Rose at the management office and i understand it will be dealt with in time for next winter.
Talking of Rose, she is the major reason we moved here, nothing is too much trouble for her, calls are answered professionally (or returned promptly) she is understanding, cares about 'her' residents and is willing to go the extra mile both for us and the complex as a whole.
I would happily recommend Tamarlane AND Rose herself to friends and colleagues in the future, tbh pretty soon there is going to be a waiting list to move in!!!!

EDIT TO ADD
Just read through the other reviews and would like to add the following re the dog mess issue (if there is actually one). I have personally asked for an extra doggy waste bin/ bag supply station and the complex were happy to comply aside from the trash dumpsters already here that residents can also use. There are other people (non residents) who walk their dogs through the complex and i would hazard a guess that any dog mess issues are theirs and therefore the complex would not be at fault. I also carry extra bags when i walk my dogs and would be happy to give them to anyone who found themselves without.

funny, i had just the opposite problem. there are residents who speed through the complex, let their dogs run off leash, don't park in their assigned spots or make their own instead of finding visitors parking and while the apartments are nice, they aren't "luxury" the cheap carpets are pulling up from the seams, the doors won't stay on track and my neighbor has problems with his screen doors outside, i know, he curses so loud i've learned new swear words...but I will agree with maintenance. they are one great thing about Tamarlane. they are on time, and efficient. I have commented to management about the other issues (and the dog issue) maybe I wasn't lucky enough to get Rose. It seemes there is someone new in the office whenever I go down there. Maybe I will have to ask for her specifically...
