Downtown must suck if this is the best.

Who writes the good messages on here' Looks like the property management folks to me. (All hype)

Make sure to ask the management about:
1.Construction next door in the evenings and weekends. 7:00am wakeup of jack hammers, cranes, welding and work lights til sometimes 9:00pm
2.Parking. Seems like at least 4-5 cars are towed a night. There is no guest parking on property and the lots fill up fast for residents. Sure you have an upper parking pass but get used to parking in the basement.
3.Laundry Room. Some machines work some don't. Don't count on the dryers. 4 ? 5 don?t work for sure.
4.The party crowd. It seems to be going down, but is still prevalent. Nothing like people yelling and running through the halls at midnight on a Tuesday.
5.Security. How many times have the police been to the property' How many break-ins' The garage gates are open til after dark and sometimes like this past week they don?t close at all. The buildings? security is non-existent. Anyone can get in.

But hey no place is perfect. The location is great and the low rise apartments are beautiful. Most of the employees are nice and friendly. But realistically, if you are paying $800 and $90 parking for a 1 bedroom in what is supposed to be a higher-end building. You shouldn?t even have to complain about things working, excessive noise, parking or safety.

So to the management who keep posting messages here to boost their rating. Maybe you spend time fixing problems and keeping residents happy not typing on the internet. How about a nice apology letter to all the current residents addressing the problems, why management has changed so frequently and what you are doing to fix the problems.
