Decent Transition Housing

From: -Anonymous-
Date posted: 3/31/2006
Years at this apartment: 2004 - 2006
 
I've lived in the complex for a year and a half. The management team is pretty unresponsive and unorganized but they are always very pleasant - even if they have no idea what's going on.
The idea that it is a "gated" community is a joke. For the entire time I've lived here the wooden gates have been broken almost nightly. For the past 2-3 months there has't been a gate at all. For the same amount of time Mgmt. has said that a new and improved gate & camera system would be installed in a few weeks. They've been making some updates...but no functional gates yet. And it looks like they're still going to have the wooden slats in the gate which get broken nightly. It isn't an overly noisy place if your neighbors are reasonable - however the walls are paper thin and you can hear everything in the apartments around you. EVERYTHING! The December issue with an armed robber hiding out and holding police at bay from inside an empty apartment for about 18 hours was a tad too ghetto for me. The community was roped off for quite some time. I've never seen the back of the community left open - that gate is always chained shut - with the exception of when they opened it to allow residents in and out without disturbing the Polie or police tape needed for the gunman situation.
If you need decent housing for a year - it's tolerable - but it's not your next home. Also, I do agree that the maintenace situation is shady - you nver know when they're coming or going and I don't trust them. They don't wear uniforms or anything so it's hard to know who they really are.
One point to note is that there is New Management taking over. They're promising lost of changes...
