My husband and I live in the larger apartments I kind of have a love/hate relationship with Evergreen. I fell in love with our apartment. It's very homey and spacious (910 sq. feet) with an amazing amount of storage space, a walk-in closet and 2 bathrooms (but the air conditioners are poor and the staff refuses to replace them as long as they can push cold air out. They are EXTREMELY noisy). The noise insulation is terrible, the walls are paper thin and when people walk by in the hallway, the noise makes you jump out of your socks, because it sounds like the people are walking through your apartment.

I have been through periods where I really wanted to stay here and felt completely safe and at home. If you are going to move here, my advice would be to find a unit close to the office (our friend lived there and loved it (hers was a 1 bedroom). And it is much safer and quieter near the larger apartments where the families with kids live.

But unfortunately, in the 2 1/2 years that we've lived here, the negative outweighs the positive.

First, there was a schizophrenic or psychotic guy living upstairs who would growl and hoot and hollar while running through the hallways. Luckily, after about a year and a half, he moved.

The worst experience we have had has been with a teenage girl who we have heard might be moving out (oh, please! Please move)! after making life a living hell for residents for 2 1/2 years (or more, she was here when we moved in). She and her idiot little friends would hang out right outside our door and talk loudly. We have been verbally harassed when we told them to be quiet. We made several noise complaints and the office would call the parents and get the kids to calm down for 3 or 4 months of wonderful silence. But they inevitably started back up again as soon as we thought they had been quiet for good. There must have been a ton of complaints against these kids who think the hallway is an extension of their apartment. We even heard from another resident they had poured water into a resident's apartment. There are too many incidents to describe. One including adolescents smoking and making out in the hallways.

If you want to move here, it depends on which building you move into as to whether you are going to have problems. There are a lot of families with small to teenage age children in our building (one of the larger units). Some residents never have problems, others have some problems, and for others it is a living hell.

Personally, I would not move into a place like this and play russian roulette with my sanity.

However, the new manager has been working very hard to make the place better.

In a few years, this place will be much safer and a nice place to live. But I wouldn't want to stay and experience its growing pains any longer.

But, if you are a good resident who happens to not have enough money, you will be doing this apartment complex good by moving in. The more aholes we can kick out and the more good, quiet people move in the better. Just stay away from the front apartments and move into either a large unit or a unit by the office and you should be fine if you are concerned about safety.

But if you cannot block out noise and you want to sleep without earplugs, than this place is not for you.
