Almost every negative element that any other reviewer has left, I have experienced. Here are a few others:
1. Gym is crap - missing weight pins, never clean, some machines don't function properly, smells like mold all the time, 1 single tv, with half of the buttons broken. the only thing that works is the water dispenser, and people actually steal the refillable tanks.
2. Not a real gated community. Though the guard is nice, he's an old geezer who couldn't stop a fart from blowing the complex down. Also he waves everyone in, like a Disney Land foam character welcoming potential burglars.
3. Additional Safety Issues: A fake, unattended, police car sits at the front of the complex. Any criminal with half a brain will figure this out after scoping the property twice.
4. Noise Issues: some neighbors in the next door building were shouting profanity and throwing things off the balconies in the middle of the night, and police had to be called by some other resident in their building to stop the domestic violence. There were obvious sounds of fighting and furniture being thrown.
5. Creepy Neighbors: I've received a note on my door, after returning from a 3 week vacation, demanding that I "shut that dog up and stop playing guitar at 3AM in the morning." I don't even own a dog, or have a guitar. Plus the fact that I haven't been here for the past 3 weeks.
6. Irresponsible Staff: when I left for my 3 week vacation, I asked a member to inform the mail lady to bring all of my mail into the front office, so that my mailbox won't flood. He agreed that this would be done. When I returned, I realized this promise not carried out, and all my mail was jammed into a tiny mailbox. If you can't deliver on the promise, why commit to it''
7. The Complex: the speed bumps here are larger than a pornstar's triple D breast implants and will inevitably scrape your vehicle's underplating if you drive faster than 4.5 miles/hr. There are spiders everywhere in the hallways and stairwells leading up to your apartment during the summers.
8. Dishonest Agreements: Usually dishonest. When i signed the lease, I signed for a unit with a fireplace. when i arrived, I was told they ran out... again, why lie to get people to sign the lease' At that point, it was too late for me to apartment hunt for I had to start working.
9. LAZY staff: half the time that I try to go to the front office, it says, "will return" When i return later, according to the time they indicate on that plastic crap passing as an excuse for a clock, they are still not available.
10. The Pool: You are not allowed to have a barbeque there even if there are BBQ grills. WHY' WTF'
11. Stinky Lake - there is a filthy, decomposing artificial lake feigning to be something aesthetically pleasing in the middle of the complex. The only thing it does, is offer a breeding pit for nasty mosquitoes and other pests during the summer. Additionally, it smells like cow crap as if they've been dumping rotting human corpses here. The "fountain" is dysfunctional and looks like a teenage boy's limpy trying to urinate. Moreover, this lake attracts geese, which leave their crap everywhere - EVERYWHERE.
12. Parking - parking is NOT guaranteed to all residents. It's a free for all, and if I didn't know better, I would have thought that this was a suburban version of the TV show Survivor - Quest for the Best Parking.
13. More on Safety - there was recently a rape case by the mailboxes. In a place where rape can happen in a public location, do you want to still live here'
14. Gangsters live here - Some times I think I live in the middle of the battlegrounds between west-side and east-side california gangstas. The "pimped" out rides are dangerous... speeding across the complex despite mountainous speed bumps and I almost got hit trying to dump trash one night. Gangsta's rule this place.
15. The only thing that changes here are the flags at the gate. They go from aubrun/yellow to purple/green. that's it. It happens between summer and winter. the other thing does change are the residents who get fed up with this junk yard and finally leave after their lease is up.
FINAL REMARKS: Staff sucks, property rotting, expensive, noisy, gangsters, pornstar breast speed bumps, Micky Mouse gate keeper, rape, fighting, yelling, lazy staff, lying staff, parking lot survival. GOOD LUCK! BuLYzGcKAVo8MQPlcXJq
