Abbott Pointe

 
Nice location, nice setting, but deceptive. Maintenance is surly and generally unresponsive. Gigantic icicles last winter were a hazard and caused a wall to collapse, all drainpipes to break off, and falling ice from this caused surrounding damage and risk to those nearby. (The one by me actually crushed a metal shed under it when it fell). "Free heat" means they rudely shut it off according to some predefined calendar date and won't turn it on again until the next predefined calendar date. Apartments contain a sufficient quantity of MSU students to be a problem sometimes in terms of noise, behavior, and general disrespect for others. Exercise room in clubhouse sounds nice, but most of the machines are (and remain) broken. Pool is nice, but sometimes attracts rowdys, drunks, skinny-dippers. Some people have junker cars collecting flat tires. Bus access is good. Location is excellent. Top-notch surrounding neighborhoods, but apartments themselves are approximately upper working-class. Huge problem: hot/cold water erratic and undependable - I've never seen this problem to this extent anywhere else. Mornings, there's NO hot water. Sometimes, I use the cold handle and hot water briefly comes from there, but there's not using the hot handle! I haven't seen any pattern to this yet. SOmetimes cold, warm. Usually cold. Probably related to the hot water heat they have turned off, but it does get hot sometimes. Maybe related to washine machine or dishwasher use!'!'! But it sucks and no one in management or maintenance is the least bit concerned. Window screens suck full of cracks and holes - have seen small silverfish pretty frequently since moving in (from day one), plus some ants and (fortunately only once) a house centipede (ugh!).
