Bait and switch...DONT DO IT!!!!

From: -Anonymous-

Years at this apartment: 2002 - 2003
 
THE BAD:
I lived here for almost a year now and I cant wait to leave. First off, they show you a nice model and then when you move in it is different. I had old cabinets that had grease spots and mildew. It took them 3 months to finally getting around to replacing it. That was after 2 phone calls, 2 visits and 3 letters!!! I had my dishes in a box for 3 months. So check your apartment from head to toe before signing. Management is not helpful. One of the maintenance guys that work here told me that they hardly fix anything and that most people fix it themselves because they are tired of waiting. And when they do come to fix something, they dont fix it and if you have several requests they will always forget at least one. They do just enough to look good but other than that you are on your own.

THE UGLY:
What they dont tell you is that the buildings are 39 years old. Your electric bill for the summer is about $170/mnth and the winter will run about $350/mnth. Mines was $370/mnth and it is just me- which I am gone 10 hours a day-and my dog!!! My neighbors moved out because of that and they were there only 2 months!! The walls are just sheet rock and wood. I walked around my house with a sweatshirt and heat on 80 degress!! There solution is for YOU to cover your patio doors with tape and plastic. WHAT'' The paneling outside in front, is there as bait. First off they have only done one other building since I been there. And it is a cheap job with no insulation. If you are young and single, believe me during the winter you will not have a social life because there is nothing to do. The drive to the city is an hour and a half.

THE GOOD:
Big apartments with patio space and they except all kinds of pets. Close to beach.
I recommend paying extra and living somewhere else. Just to have peice of mind.
