Going down very fast...

I have lived in Pickwick for 4 years and I'm seeing this place getting worse by the day. The rent shoots up every year and the maintenance is getting poorer. The buildings are very old and falling apart. There are parking problems, college students moving in who drink and party all night long and drive their cars recklessly inside the apartment complex, poor lighting at night, potholed and uneven inside roads with gravel, and very poor quality plumbing, faucets, fixtures, doors and windows. I have a recurrent leakage (3 times in 7 months) in my bathroom from neighbors upstairs, and the maintenance staff is so unskilled, they never seem to find a lasting fix. Some neighbors are over-friendly, a little too intrusive in your privacy, and also noisy. Children play outside in the summer unsupervised by adults and they do get out of hand. Too many brats everywhere in the apartment complex. People have no class. And if you have a nice car, you will regret parking it in Pickwick. Careless neighbors with old clunkers will ding and dent your new car in no time. There are also all kinds of bugs inside and outside the apartment during summertime. I can't wait to move out of this apartment complex. There's just too much activity in Pickwick; people constantly driving in and out, riding bicycles, gossiping loudly outside for hours, washing cars, using outside spaces for keeping things they don't want to keep inside; it is just not a quiet place to live. The only advantage is the location, which is the best. Convenient to go around anywhere. But, this apartment complex is rapidly becoming a "Camden" neighborhood. The management is friendly and they talk sweetly, but they don't seem to enforce any policies strictly.
