pretty nice, removed from college crowd

Not sure what happened with that last post. System seems screwy here so I'm not sure if my star ratings will come out as I've entered them, but:

Basically, this is a nice complex with some trees and greenery and a (small) pool area. I picked it because it was removed from the hubbub of the campus area; it's pretty much in Oshtemo. There's a safe, quiet 24-hr gas station across the street which comes in handy. Parking is adequate, nothing special. Noise level isn't perfect, but it's much quieter than most of the complexes near campus; party-noise is rarely an issue. Staff is friendly and takes good care of the complex in general.

I'm in a two-bedroom, and I can't say the apartments are very big. But, for the price, they're not too bad. Adequate and slightly nicer than average I'd say. There are balconies.

Biggest problem I had was the maintenance. They are slow and do a poor job. We had a sink problem and had to call maintenance three or four separate times -- and still, to date, it's leaking just as it initially was. Just got to tired to keep bothering about it. There were also frequent water problems in my building; every month or so it seems they're turning off the water in all the buildings for part of the afternoon. This can be very annoying if they do it at a time during which you're trying to get to work.

But overall it's a decent little complex with a below-average noise level and a friendly staff. I certainly like it better than the craphole I had near campus a couple years back. Recommended for those who don't have a ton of money but want something away from the hustle and bustle of the downtown and campus area.
