The views are amazing. You never hear your neighbors. There is always hot water. Those are the only positive things I can say about living here. There is supposed to be free heat and free air conditioning. Well, the heat isn't much of a problem when you live 20 floors up. The air on the other hand is a totally different matter. All I can say is you get what you pay for. I had to buy register boosters (fans for the vents in the apartment) to get any cool air in the apartment at all. It has been between 79 and 82 degrees in my apartment from May til August. The thermostat that is in your apartment is a joke. You have 2 settings, and they are in your electrical box.... ON and OFF for heat and A/C. Oh, and there are no screens for the windows. So, if you want to open your windows you are at risk for HUGE water spiders/beetles to come in your apartment. There is not even a screen door on the balcony. There is no fan in the bathroom. Combine that with no air conditioning and it makes for a mildewy/moldy/smelly mess. There is only 1 washer and dryer for 16 apartments on every floor. Also, the garbage is kept in the laundry room. Combine that with minimal air conditioning and the heat of the dryer.... smelly mess!! gag!! The staff and residents are nice and friendly if you're the right age and color. Otherwise they are pretty rude. They give your guests a hard time when they come over to get inside. Forget about hot food when you order delivery. By the time the staff lets them up, your food is cold every time. You have to drop off your groceries at the front entrance and put them in a shopping cart. Well, that is if there is one. Sometimes you are stuck with putting $100 worth of groceries on the floor in the lobby and carrying them up in the elevator. Who knows what happens to them while you're parking your car and walking in.... You have to park in a very run down parking structure that you have to pay for. If you're paying for it wouldn't you want it to be nice' Only half of the lights work. This is Detroit! Jefferson Ave! You need lit parking!!!!!! I hate walking in at night, I feel like I'm in the most ghetto parking structure. Someone could be lurking in the shadows and I wouldn't know. I would never move back here, it was such a disappointment. aLKeoXpj3s4OSgrp1trb
