Northwind Apartments

From: -Anonymous- Date posted: 3/30/2008 Years at this apartment: 2006 - 2008 5 photos   I LIVED AT NORTHWIND FOR ALMOST TWO YEARS AND HATED IT, BUT THEY WERE CHEAP AND THE ONLY APARTMENT COMPLEX' THAT ALLOWED CO-SIGNERS AT THE TIME, WHICH WAS WHAT I NEEDED, MOVING THERE STRAIGHT OUT OF HIGH SCHOOL. THE APARTMENTS WERE BUILT WITH PAPER THIN WALLS SO THERE'S REALLY NOT MUCH PRIVACY. WHEN I MOVED IN, THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY WERE PUTTING IN A NEW WASHER AND DRYER AS WELL AS SHAMPOOING THE CARPET BECAUSE THEY DO THAT EVERYTIME A NEW TENANT COMES IN...AS SOON AS I MOVED IN, I LOOKED AT THE WASHER AND DRYER, THEY WEREN'T NEW! THERE WAS STILL DETERGENT IN THE WASHER AND LINT INTHE DRYER TRAP! OUR CAPRET WAS FILLED WITH POWDER/DUST AND ANTS. WE ALSO EXPERIENCED TONS OF BUGS THAT I'VE NEVER SEEN IN MY LIFE! AND THEY WEREN'T LITTLE TINY BUGS, BUT THEY WERE HOUSE CENTIPEDES--CHECK THEM OUT(http://www.whatsthatbug.com/images/house_centipede_rug. AND POTATO BUGS (http://www.whatsthatbug.com/images/potato_but_rs.jpg) AS WELL AS WEIR LOKING SPIDERS, AND THINGS THAT LOOKED ALMOST LIKE SCORPIONS. MANAGEMENT ALSO TELLS YOU THAT YOU'RE MOST LIKELY TO GET YOUR DEPOSIT BACK WHEN YOU MOVE OUT.. NOT TRUE AT ALL. WHEN I MOVED OUT, I LEFT THE PLACE CLEANER THAN WHEN I MOVED IN, WIPED DOWN EVERYTHING REALLY WELL, VACUUMED AND DUSTED EVERYTHING, WASHED ALL THE SCREENS AND WINDOW SILLS, AND THEY GAVE ME ALMOST NOTHING BACK. THEY TAKE MONEY FROM YOUR DEPOSIT TO SHAMPOO THE CARPET, REPLACE ALL SCREENS, DRIP PANS, WINDOWS, AND SHELVES. THEY ALSO TAKE OUT MONEY TO PAINT THE WALLS, AND ALL OF THESE THINGS ARE MANDATORY! THEY ALSO CHARGED US BECAUSE THEY SAID OUR WINDOW SILL HAD A LITTLE BIT OF DUST [IT WAS ----- AND SPAN WHEN I LEFT THERE!] SO THEY CHARGED 15 DOLLARS. THEY ALSO TAKE OUT $6 FROM YOUR DEPOSIT FOR EVERY LIGHBULB! AND, THE APARTMENT ITSELF WAS PRETTY SMALL! A LOT OF IT WAS WASTED SPACE! OUR BATHROOM WAS JUST ABOUT AS BIG AS OUR BEDROOM! PARKING SUCKS. YOU'RE ONLY ALLOWED ONE STALL, AND ONE GUEST, BUT IT'S ONA FIRST COME FIRST SERVE BASIS. WHILE LIVING THERE, THEY ALSO INCREASED THE RENT WITHOUT NOTICE. NORTHWIND APARTMENTS SUCK. I GUESS YOU GET WHAT YOU PAID FOR. BUT THERE ARE BETTER PLACES OUT THERE! TRY CLUB AMBASSADOR! 6TrHFn6pn7poyqNlKEgn
