Not bad at all, but don't think you're getting "perks"

Living in the Beechtone apartments with 3 roommates isn't all too bad. The 3rd floor apartments have 3 bedrooms (although one is a loft) so there's plenty of space for 4 of us, and rent is super cheap. Water, however, is not, and the heat is just plain bad... there's not thermostat, just a knob with 1-2-3-4-5 on it.
Its a quiet, safe place to live, but don't be fooled by the advertized laundry facility and gym. The laundry place is HORRIBLE and the gym has one treadmill, one bike, one precor, and one weights machine. However, there's a great laundromat across the street, and Gold's and Planet Fitness nearby...just don't think you'll move in here and save on laundry and a gym membership. Also, watch out for the PET COSTS! Sure you can bring your dog...if he pays as much rent as you.

As for the office staff, Donna in there is super nice to us. Apparently you need to watch out for the general manager, but I've been here for 7 months and have never seen or heard from the guy, so he's definitly not bothering us.

Its a very mixed community... you could live next to a family with 4 kids, or a group of college kids... I'd just ask who your neighbors will be before you move in!

Great part is its close to everything, and pretty easygoing. Worst part...no grills on the porch :(
