Slums in the suburbs

Whomever said maintenance was the best must work for the place. Yes it does have a new name but it's the same dump. IT SUCKED! The place is full of mold and mildew. As for maintenance, forget it. Shoddy workmanship performed by underqualified staff. My place flooded the fourth day after I moved in. All apartments have Qwest piping which was NEVER replaced after the huge lawsuit. They pocketed the money. Their idea of fixing a plumbing leak is to let the place dry for a few days then try to cover it up with paint. Lighting is poor and the crime rate is outrageous. One girl was raped in her apartment after the attacker kicked his way through the door. My car was broken into one month after I moved in and in spite of the fact that three Durham cops live on site, no one felt safe after sun down. Management spent money dressing the outside of the place up with fancy landscaping but did not spend a dime on the interior of the apartments. Most of the buildings are sinking into the ground and the doors don't shut properly. All the 'ground level' apartments have mold everywhere. You can smell it! The walls have no insulation so even the quietest neighbors comments are heard in the next apartment. The pool is a cesspool of germs and bacteria unfit for humans to be in. Don't even bother living here listening to their specials. You can get a better place within a few miles with much better living conditions and that doesn't accept Section 8.
Last thing is, if you have pets, they charge an outrageous pet deposit and pet rent.
