Terrible Disappointment

I have lived her for a year and a half and with every passing month, I become more and more disappointed with this place. The handling of the construction situation is an absolute joke. I would not have had a problem with it if it wasnt for the way it was handled. Acting like you dont know whats going on and playing games with legalities is pathetic. I will not continue living here out of principle. Management is totally useless and clueless. The plumbing is an absolute joke. And I echo the sentiments about the power going out at random times. While this place may look nice from the outside, it is clearly style over substance. The actual internal problems are signifigant in particular the sewage and the water. Do not live here if you would ever like to take a bath. You will run out of hot water before the tub is more than 2 inches full. The one good thing about the construction is you can see just how awful and cheap this place (and construction) is. Is that compressed saw dust or card board that they are using for walls' I feel so bad for whoever is going to live there. There is no reason to pay a premium to live here. It is overpriced and there are much better values out there, where the management and owners actually respect and appreciate the tenants. Other issues to be aware:

The parking spaces are very narrow

Walls are very thin - can hear everything

Heating and Cooling System is VERY loud. You seriously could have trouble sleeping. Very loud.

Terrible Hot Water

Significant amount of crime. Car Break ins, vandalism. Close to some poor neighborhoods.

Expect to receive lots of fliers and crap under your door. Even the complex leaves stuff outside peoples doors so if you are out of down for a few days to a week, expect everyone to know about it. They (the complex) even leaves crap at the doors of emoty apartments and it just sites there...
