I lived there for a year and moved out just as fast as my lease expired.

Issues (in no particular order):

Construction is shoddy. It was built in the late 80's and they just had to replace all the decks because they were deteriorating and falling off.

BTW - they painted the buildings while I was there - took a nice paint color and painted all the buildings three shades of mud. It's ugly now, and they did it in such a slipshod manner that I bet the paint job won't last very long. They also put up new apartment signage with tiny apartment number signs that are darned near impossible to read in the dark. No one could find my apartment after they changed out the old numbers for the new little signs.

Wiring is suspect. I couldn't turn off my bathroom light and my bathroom fan at the same time, or I'd trip the breaker. Same thing occurred in both bathrooms.

Building may have "settled" at some point. None of the doors stay fully open - they all start closing on their own.

Neighborhood is declining rapidly - I had five abandoned cars towed away by the City of Beaverton during the year I lived there. My apartment faced the street and when I mentioned it to the management office, their response was "if it's on the street we have nothing to do with it". They didn't even want to know about it!

Kids use the street surrounding the complex for drag races at all hours, and on any given sunny day there are any number of lowriders bouncing up and down the street, blaring music.

Single-pane windows allow tons of cold air in - it was the coldest apartment I'd ever been in.

The management office lost all the good quality people early in my lease period, and they hired a bunch of girls barely out of their teens - all of whom are perky and friendly on the surface, but if you ask them a question which requires even one iota of independent thought, they fall apart.

During the last year, the clientele of the complex - along with the neighborhood - started declining considerably. I'm not sure why, but if you look at the City of Beaverton's crime stats, this particular complex has a much higher crime rate than the complexes on either side of it.

Yes, you'll find a great deal on an apartment here. I couldn't beat $599 (after the move-in special) for a 2-bedroom 2-bath apartment. But you know what' You get what you pay for. This place turned out to be a crackerbox with thin walls, poor insulation and suspect wiring, in a part of Beaverton that seems to be declining rapidly.

Please don't rent here.
