Our 2-bedroom, 2-bath apartment was not worth the money we paid for it. The biggest problem was our eletric costs: our average bills ran $110 in the winter and **OVER $200** in the summer, even though we did not run the air conditioner excessively. There is definitely something wrong with this picture; if the management tells you that the average electric bill is $50, DON'T BELIEVE THEM!

Also, the toilets and shower drains in our 2nd floor apartment were CONSTANTLY slow or clogged and we called maintenance to unclog them once every 2 months.

The dishwasher/garbage disposal set-up sucks; our dishwasher also broke our dishes and when our garbage disposal failed, it took maintenance OVER A WEEK to come fix it -- then they yelled at US when they finally came to fix it.

My roommate's bathroom cabinet faces continually fell off; we had an air vent fall out of the ceiling; the paint around the skylight in my bathroom peeled from the humidity; and the bathrooms are on the same electrical outlet, so we could only run 1 blowdryer at a time without blowing a fuse -- NOT conducive for two girls getting ready for work in the morning!

Finally, we were promised a 2-BR, 2-bath with a balcony and were SHOCKED to move in and find out that there was no balcony. (We were NOT allowed to see the place before we moved in, which should have told us something right there!) The machines in the exercise room were often broken; the front gates were easily and frequently busted; and we noticed cop cars parked outside various apartments on a regular basis -- NOT a safe area.

On the whole, this place was awful and I wouldn't recommend it to my worst enemy.
