Years at this apartment: 2005 - 2009
 
I've been here four years and had a decent experience.Make sure you have roommates before living here. I've lived in 6 buildings and had 16 different roommates, so its a pain moving in blind if you don't have friends available to live with. The buildings are relatively new and the property is well kept. The rates have gone down from 400-420 to starting at 329. There is always parking and there isn't towing. The office has renovated the workout facility and computer lab.There is a lot of college students here, so your gonna have problems here and there just like any college town. Overall, this place is ok for its price. Here are the pros and cons.

Pros
shuttle bus
furnished apts
lower rates
free internet
basketball/volleyball
workout facility/tanning
pool/hot tub
security patrol
cleanly apartments
close to 131/stores and restaurants


cons
can be noisy
maintenance workers are unskilled college kids
maintenance enters apartments randomly without notice
roommate matching can end up horrible
rooms can be easily opened with a slip of a card
some rooms have horrific leaking/cracked ceilings from snow
can easily hear music being played from surrounding apts
can be charged a ---- ton for stupid ---- (stained carpet)
vandalism happens
only 30 cable channels
fair amounts of young punks with attitudes
EXTREMELY HIGH HEAT BILLS (nov-feb $1600 consumers bill set between 70-80 degrees)
