Rip Off!!!!

People are right, everyone is entitled to their opinion. Here is mine.







I lived at Southview Gables for 9 depressing months. I was told it was great for families, they restricted dog breeds and our leasing agent was friendly at signing.







Our troubles started immediately. We only found out after we moved in that it was section 8 approved, makes a big difference. We were paying full priced rent at over $1100 a month. I work in the apartment industry and in these times you can get way nicer for less.







We almost immediately found out that we lived 2 doors away from a Doberman, the management?s excuse, "it got grandfathered in". Not to mention the number of mixed Rottweiler and Pitbull breeds. They use fragrances to cover up the smells in the hallways.







Our carpet and linoleum was terrible, holes, stains and reminants from the previous tenants.







Management didn?t care about you once you were moved in rates went up, quality went down.





Let?s not forget about the drop outs down that hall that dealt drugs. The constant smell of marijuana and stumbling customers up and down the halls is enough to make anyone scream. They constantly propped the "security" door open for easier access. When we brought it up to the management they said there was no way of telling even though there is a camera staring right at the door.





Another point, the cameras' Don?t work most of the time, then when there is a problem, will they review the tapes to find out who it is, of course not.






Overall poor environment for children and people afraid of aggressive dogs, they don?t regulate the breeds. It is overpriced and you can find better. Try Greystone Heights across 494, it?s like townhome living and they run great specials.
