While Andover Woods nice photogenic display in the apt guides seems ideal for young professional citizens and families..... the truth is far from it. At one time, these apts were wonderful... great staff, maintence that was top knotch, excellent service, and a place you?d be proud to call home. Now, request for repairs will probably outlast your lease term! At any given time, you are likely to hear gun shots. Saturday nights are what we call Jerry Springer/Salsa night, because there?s quite likely to be a domestic dispute, tires peeling, and and/or a "gang" of neighbors just "chillin"... parties are usually kept to a 20-25 mininium. As one reviewer stated, everyone qualifies. Even if you can?t speak English, you can get an apt. You can expect to see the police department and crime lab van making the rounds..I?ll assume the crime lab was just doing friendly community stops.. since they came quite a few times, but no letter came from mgt to state otherwise. Everyone has 24/7 access, if the gate is closed just ride another car?s bumper and come on in or just ask your neighbor for the access code... it?s the same #, so no card actually required. If you complain, get the fingerprints of the staff member, otherwise..the next time "you" go to follow up, it becomes an initial complaint all over again. Buy a pair of nice comfortable plastic boots prior to moving in,, this will able you to clean up easily after stepping in one of numerous piles of dog poop or glass shattered. If you have a late evening/ night maintence emergency be prepared to pay out of pocket,the quote unquote emergency person is usually on vacation year round. Last but not least keep your own personal fire extinguisher in case a fire breaks out. The stairwells are not likely to hold everyone. Some apts advertise as 1 or 2 BD with hidden space... this hidden space is for the other 7-10 family members that are not on the lease.
