Getting Better

I just moved out in Sept., lived in a 2 bedroom townhouse on the river. The river views and green space was enough to make me go out and get a dog because I couldn't imagine not being outside every day in the summer. Yes the place was built in 1960, but I'm sure they'll never be able to build another complex in Columbus that is this close to a river but is controlled by a reservoir 1 mile upstream.

I know lots of people have had problems with the maintenance staff here, and I couldn't agree more until they hired a new supervisor who's a young go-getter type. It used to be that you couldn't get things fixed for a few weeks but now the turnaround time is same day or next day! I had a leak in my tub that needed some new silicone caulk...not only did he fix it but he also bleached my tub walls so they're sparkling again! Hopefully he doesn't get too pooped but he's young and new so he'll probably manage.

Riverpark had a pretty tired look with overgrown bushes and bad paint jobs, but the landscaping crew yanked all the old bushes & put in new sod...hey, we're looking good again! Some of my friends who live in the garden apartments said that there's some artist whose been painting murals in the hallways of their building...can't say anything about those cuz I never made it over there. The new windows in all the apartments are NICE for apartment quality. I bet my astronomical heat bill from last year would've been cut in half with those!

I left because I just got married, bought a condo, the dog misses the park and chasing geese. I miss seeing the Scioto river every day but I don't miss paying rent. If I were paying rent, though, I probably would have stayed another year here.
