Wow, where to start with this place. When I moved in back in 2006, the place seemed nice. They were remodeling, and had aspirations to make it a family friendly place to live. They told me all construction would be completed by the time I moved in. Not only was the construction not completed, but it lasted for the ENTIRE 3 years I lived there -- both road and other apartment renovations. The staff from the beginning lacked the intelligence of middle school grads, so I had low expectations. But the experience of handling lease renewals, questions about the lease, and the eventual ending of the lease and move-out have been some of the most frustrating experiences in my life. First off, when you call the Management office, EVERYONE in that office sends all calls directly to voicemail, and RARELY returns calls. So if you have a question regarding your lease or other that may be time sensitive, time to get your law degree and read and interpret every word one your lease. If someone ever gets back to you, they quickly demonstrate that they have no knowledge and just refer back to the lease to answer any tough questions. Meaning, they hide behind their own laziness and incompetence. So, if you are considering living here, know that it is very expensive for what you get, the costs keeps rising, management is terrible, lease agreements are written to screw you, maintenance doesn't do any actual work, and the whole living experience will leave you VERY FRUSTRATED. My experience cost me thousands of additional fees, and I did everything right. Beware before locking yourself in...

I am on 14 & ave B and havent had a problem with cleanliness. Though I get roach infestation sometimes. Is it a 1 bed? How much are you paying if you dont mind answering? I am thinking of going in to renegotiate my lease and wanted to know what people are getting now.
