We moved into Westview Heights thinking that we found a great deal, after all, the apartments are really cute looking. As they say, don't judge a book by its cover.

If you are just dying to waste your hard earned money and are looking for a headache, then these are the perfect apartments for you!

1) Walls are paper thin. Street traffic will wake you up in the middle of the night, you'll become more familiar with your neighbors habits than you're comfortable with, etc.

2) No central air-conditioning. Hot as can be in the summer.

3) Poor and inefficient heaters for the winter time. The builder of these units, in an act of sheer brilliance, installed small electric heaters throughout. They are ineffective, the heating elements often break (we had to have a number replaced), and really increase your electrical bill.

4) As the other writers mentioned, the dishwashers SUCK! Our washer was new when we moved in. It won't even distribute, dissolve, etc. liquid detergent... And this is on the "pots and pans" cycle!

5) Internet, don't bother believing in what management will promise you (brings up another point listed below). Our service was "free" with our rental. It's been nothing but a headache and works less than a 3rd of the time. The company they contract with has been out a number of times since we moved in and they're still having problems. You'll call and get the message "If you are calling from the Westview Heights complex, we currently have an outage..." This is COMMON.

6) Management promises. The pool was to be completed a LONG time ago. Finally it's in. But, it's more like a large bathtub, fits 6 people comfortably. 7 and you're all holding hands... Our neighbors were told they could bring their dog, that the apartment is "pet friendly" which they advertise. They were later told that the dog was "too heavy". Management seems to be afraid of anything larger than a Chihuahua. What management says, and what management DOES are two completely different things.

7) If you have kids, stay away. There are no places to play (sure a small strip of grass), and cars that drive through do so at dangerous speeds.

8) The GYM is a JOKE. It is a converted garage. The hours of operation are ridiculous, the equipment is cheap, and if there are two of you in there, there isn't room for anyone else to get a good workout.

9) Parking stinks!!!! There are no real parking spots except on the side of the street. On weekends.... Good luck finding a spot. You'll probably have to park one of the neighboring residential lots and walk home. At the very least, practise your parallel parking skills - You'll need them.

I could go on and on. I wouldn't waste my money again. There are much better deals to be found. Sure, there is a nice curb appeal to these, but you don't have to scratch too far below the surface to realize that you've been had. They are not pet friendly and they are not a good place to bring your family. My advice, STAY AWAY, STAY FAR, FAR AWAY. Just an FYI, I find the reviews listed on 5/24/03 and 6/19/03 highly suspicious. Good luck with your search...
