where to begin'...well, i've been living on the property for about 2 years now, each year i have owned both the 2 bedroom 2 bath model and the 1 bedroom 1.5 bath, repespectively. the first year in the 2 br model was interesting...it had a great & convenient floor plan, plenty of storage and sq. footage and i enjoyed the private balcony and staircase...BUT i lived on a unit by the stairs up to the 3rd floor 1 bedrooms and let me tell you..if ANYTHING OR ANYONE(S) step foot on the stairs YOU WILL HEAR IT!!! it was really awesome to be woken up to some crazy drunk kids clomping and stomping up the stairs at 3 in the morning...holidays are just crazy hear...i don't know how many times i've gone out to my car in the morning to find it covered with cigarette butts...champagne corks...beer cans...condoms...beer bottle glass...banana peels and just trash in general--my neighbors were CRAZY though! the ones downstairs had 7 people living in it and one quiet afternoon i could hear EVERY word in a fight over CRACK...yes, crack...and i would always love to wake up every morning to the sound of bong hits and violent coughing...one night while i was outside on the balcony i saw a drunk man get into his car and back right into 2 other parked vehicles and then just drive off. my neighbors upstairs in the 2 story lofts always made the most noise you will ever hear...it sounded like they were constantly bowling down the stairs! and once a week the "drunk guy" as i called him, who lived downstairs got really piss-ass drunk and started yelling at his baby's momma when she dropped the kid off at his place before she drove downtown to *quote* "hook up with those g**damn marines" while the kid screamed at the top of his lungs...little did i know that "drunk guy" also was the maintanence man who "monitored" the pool...what a joke...the pool is also another issue...in my 2 years here i only made it to the pool ONCE...and it was a night when the drunk kids and their 18 million six packs left the area and cleared the way for people who actually lived here to also enjoy the amenties included in the spitefully high rent payments

now, after the first year there, i relocated to a quietier building closer to the main road and away from Animal House...this time i rented the 3rd floor 1 bedroom lofts...which DID NOT have central heating/air...it had a PIECE OF ---- window unit which smelled like burnt rubber when on heat, and iced over when on ac...not to mention that there was NO attempt to insulate the unit since there is a towel permanently under the unit keeping the 8 inch cockroaches out of the 2 inch tall gap between my living room floor and the bottom of the unit--the gap is so big i can see the wooden slats of the balcony from my couch--the same wooden slats that have old rusty loose nails sticking up and out in every direction...that feels really good on bare feet i'm sure...but i think the WORST, I MEAN WORST, part of this apartment is that the cheap ass window units from Hells 1963 catalogue made the LOUDEST mechanical vibrating and buzzing noises...one minute it will be humming silently...next thing you know you have an 18 wheeler barreling through your living room/kitchen...it's so loud, i've lived in this apartment for a year and i still get woken up by the loud and abrupt grunts this machine from hell makes...and they leak like crazy...there is a constant puddle of water projecting from underneath "beast" as i call it, which then from the constant moisture grown funny looking pink fungus/mold which leads to fruit flies...WHICH DO NOT GO AWAY!...one afternoon i came home to my door being unlocked and slightly open...of course me being female i freak out and call the leasing office thinking i have been broken into, upon which they tell me that the maintanenct man is "working on your loud ac unit"...so i step inside to find my ac unit pulled all the way inside...on the white carpet which they fine you for if there is one stain no matter how insignificant, but the maintanence man is no where to be seen...after about an hour i get a knock on my door...the maintanence man finally decided to come back to finish his job, after of course his "lunch break" as he put it....HMMM...let me think...if i quit in the middle of a project at work to go take an at least 1 and 1/2 hour lunch break...i'd probably be FIRED!...but the worst of this apartment layout is the lack of space and paper thin walls...seriously the other night i had "beast" running and the tv volume up pretty high and heard loud, dense banging noise and a woman screaming...of course i mute the tv and turn the air off to make sure everything was alright, at first i thought it was my next door neighboor (who also smoked crack and dealt drugs out of his apartment--what can i say, the walls are THAT thin--)...i figured it might be him and his bass from his daily rampage of loud, edited gangster rap albums, but i then noticed that my neighbor was not home and that this was coming from the apartment on the other side of my neighbor (2 down from me) and the closer i listened the more it sounded like a woman screaming for help...then i heard keys being thrown and then i heard a panic button alarm sound on one of the cars in the lot downstairs...then i heard a group of young girls screaming "get off of her...call the police...he just keeps hitting her"...then the cops show up and the drunk guy who was beating his WIFE runs from them...jumps in his car and speeds off...at 3 am on a monday morning...''!!

all in all this place is the worst, almost cursed, when it comes to tenants...it seems that i've NEVER had a good neighbor...the only reason i've stayed here as long as i've had was because the smaller unit was in a building that was currently low on tenants and all the apartments, minus the 2 on my left were EMPTY, had been EMPTY, and are still EMPTY....one reason is mainly due to the fact that the leasing office has "random" inspections of your apartments a few times every other month or two whether you are home or not, they WILL come into your apartment with a checklist like 2nd grade and GRADE YOU ON CLEANLINESS for "insurance purposes"....''!! i'm pretty sure that when it comes to their insurance policy, it doesn't matter that there is a (single) dirty dish in the sink, or that there was a towel drying in the sun, or that "fixed" sink was leaking...these people are crazy! however the grounds are kept up very WELL...so well that EVERY morning there is ALWAYS something going on...mondays it's landscaping, tuesdays it's pinestraw, wednesday it's pressure washing, thursday its sprinkler maintanence, and friday is hedging day...complete with chainsaws and wood chippers. and now the rent is increasing even more and i could not be out of here fast enough...i'm moving as soon as the lease is up!
