I lived there for a year from Oct. 2004 to Oct 2005. If I could have found a cheap way to break my lease, I would have.

In the beginning, the place was great, but as time went on, it seriously deteriorated.

First, in February, the apartment above me started leaking into the apartment below me, somehow. I was called, at work, and told that someone needed to get into my apartment as an "emergency". When I got home from work, my apartment was torn to pieces, and one of my cats was locked in the closet. There was no explanation, other than the door hangtag that said, "Be back tomorrow".

I went into work for half the day, and when I came back, my apartment was in even WORSE condition than when it started, with the toilet not even in the right spot so I couldn't even use the bathroom. There was dust everywhere, the wall was broken into pieces in the bathroom, tools on the floor, and no one to be found.

Had I known that they'd be taking the whole day to fix the problem, I would have packed my cats and moved in with my fiance for the day. But I wasn't informed of this.

After complaining to the manager, I went back to pack up, and I discovered that maintenance had broken some of my dishes.

It took over 5 months for me to get my money back for replacement dishes.

It took over a week to finish the simple "leak" in which I had no access to my bathroom mirror and no idea when the maintenance people would come in.

Later on in the year, a person that worked for the complex moved into the apartment below me. He decided that it was his god-given right to start parking in the handicapped spot. I complained, numerous times, to the management, and they never did anything.

Right before I moved out, several packages that I ordered over the internet went missing because the idiot downstairs decided to steal from me for telling the police about parking in the handicapped spot. I filed another complaint with management, nothing was done.

The few times that I visited the pool, it was overrun by children who were completely disrespectful, as were their parents, when told not to splash everyone.

Management was terrible, the apartments constantly broke and were cheap. The sliding glass door leaked heat, so it was always freezing. The closet doors broke, constantly. The furnace and air conditioner leaked. The front door often didn't close completely. People would smoke in the hallways. The lamps didn't work.

Finally, when I moved, I was docked $70 from my security deposit for scratches on the countertop that existed prior to me living there.

TERRIBLE TERRIBLE TERRIBLE place.

I agree. I've lived here over a year and the place is really going to seed. They have designated 8 buildings as "dog-friendly" and one of the buildings is where I live. These yahoos that moved here are horrible pet-keepers! They let their dogs defecate on the front lawn and seldom bother to pick it up. The dog urine burns yellow spots on the lawn and it starting to look like a mine field. The resident manager is an arrogant woman that will not give you the time of day if you call or go see her at the office. She never returns calls and the poor rental agents have to make excuses for her. Paragon Properties (the managing company) is a mystery also. There is no direct way to reach them and the one time I did I was rudely brushed off. The apartments are really falling apart and I'm out of here as soon as my lease expires. This place has definitely gone to the dogs and now appeals to rude, immature, inconsiderate people that don't care about the neighbors. That's all due to the first-year discount incentives that makes it possible for a bad element to live here. We've gone from a place populated by professional people to a multi-family occupancy in some apartments.
