If you think about renting here, do yourself a favor and visit the complex at night for a few nights. I wish I would have.
If you have no other choice than to go here, try as best you can to get an apartment away from the Doreen Ct. area.
It was consistently scary and noisy the whole time I lived there (I left before my lease was up.)
The apartment we were given didn't look as nice as the model. We weren't allowed to see the apartment before we moved in, but we were assured that it would look just like the model, and that the apartment had all new carpeting.
The carpet in the living room was old looking and stained. The bedroom carpets weren't too bad, but I had to get all of them professionally cleaned after walking across the carpet, led to blackened socks.
You can hear everything through the walls and ceiling in every room, on every side.
Drunken college kids would often have peeing contests off the balconies and in the parking lots, and off the front steps to the apartment. My daughter saw her first ----- here and learned a lot of colorful phrases through the thin ceilings and walls.
Loud and scary at night. It was rare to have a quiet evening. On the weekends, in the parking lot, there was usually a fight, and cars doing donuts and peeling out. leaving skid marks on the pavement. That's another sign we look for now before we move somewhere new. If there are rubber skid marks everywhere, don't move there, unless you like that kind of thing.
Complaining to the management in private about an extremely noisy party where beer bottles were being thrown out the windows and off the balconies to break everywhere below got me dirty looks from the culprits, and our car got vandalized. Hmmm...I wonder how they knew it was me' We were one whole apartment building away.
Part of the Bathroom ceiling warped up with blue water from the toilet above, and a plaster plug fell out of the ceiling from what looked like a previous half-assed patch job gone wrong.
The ceiling was filled with black mold, and the water dripped everywhere all over everything.
Management was slow to respond, and did not come to help until later the next day when I was not around to supervise.
Their solution was just to plug up the hole with plaster, which then got soggy with the toilet water from above, and fell out again later that week.
I called the health department but they didn't come out there until after I had moved away.
I am So glad that my daughter and I are be away from there. We were both so terrified by the lack of security, and creepy men outside our windows, that she slept with me every single night for the 3 months we were there.
She coudln't go to sleep until she saw me make sure every single door and window was locked, and she asked me to keep the light on when we slept.
I moved us out after I found out that the bathroom ceiling was filled with mold, which was before our lease was up. It was the last straw.
Get EVERYTHING in writing unless the management is new. They aren't bad people, just were very prone to losing important paperwork when it is in their best interest, and not in mine.
They tried to charge us a pet deposit when we didn't have a pet. The manager got very angry when I corrected her. I had to fight not to pay that deposit, using a letter from a lawyer.
Keep a copy of your lease, and get receipts for every single transaction. I am very glad I did.
Take pictures of your apartment on move in, and also if you have a structural problem like we did.
Know your rights. Look up the Nevada revised statutes and keep a copy handy. There is also a renters rights group in town. Get a hold of them if you need any help.
If you go to UNR, the legal counsel is free.
