not a good choice for most people

while some of the apartments have amazing picturesque views, and some of the amenities (tennis, pool, volleyball) are nice, these apartments are way over-priced and now heavily dated. about 40% higher price for comparable space in the same area. carpet, cabinets, fixtures all dated.

issues with maintenance were seldom resolved to satisfaction. carpet was in very bad shape on move-in, water damage around windows and doors, cabinets in both bathrooms were falling apart.

perhaps the worst part - the staff. the stick is so far up there it isn't funny. they fit the bill, however - pretentious, rich looking people who lack any real substance or capacity to help and leave you regretting the fact that they lured you in with a vista view and a nice swimming pool.

after reading the other reviews, i forgot to mention - and this is a real irony considering it is a gated community - our car was broken into about 2 months after we moved into the place. lost a GPS unit and some miscellaneous junk in the glove box. we ended up meeting another resident we had went to school with years back, he said he had a similar issue when an expensive bike he had locked up in his parking area was stolen.

as mentioned in a previous post, those gates are randomly open all the time - the week we were moving out they were open for 8 consecutive days because a moving truck had damaged the entry system. gates were regularly down for 24 hour periods after being blown through by cars and moving vans. just an FYI in-case you were buying into the gated community thing.

also as mentioned, the roads and parking areas are a nightmare in winter, as are the ominous emails warning you to move your car (where to, i am not sure) when it snows - because the plow guy will be there sometime between 2 and 48 hours after the snowfall...
