I lived at Wimbledon for around 2 years. There are two break-ins right next to me while I lived there and there was constant noise in the parking lot all night long. I stay up late anyway but could not sleep and would wake up to the sound of girls vomiting in the parking lot. Women who were clearly strippers lived there and were always coming and going at late hours. Maybe that's a plus for some but they were really annoying and wouldn't shutup ever. This place is creepy and the only perk is that it is near Reed college which is a nice area to walk around. Also there are always weird pervy guys at the pool and drunk crazy girls. Also someone's apartment exploded on the other side of the building because there was a meth lab in their place. Oh and gas was siphoned out of our neighbor's car several times and we were warned about it. Laundry was stolen and their are never any available machines. Packages were also stolen from us.

Now that Reed has turned the 100 year old WWI and II victory gardens into concrete and dorms, there is no reason. Which is because of Wimbledon Square. Across the street, the crime is so bad, people started demanding to live on campus (how does being 100 yards away make you safer, gits!) They are literally destroying the neighborhood. The strippers point is well taken. It's like they rent whole buildings out to them. You can deal with the drug dealers/pervy guys at the pool (which the management will never ID). They usually have a little black book of numbers/contacts. Kick it into the pool. Explosions are common. If not meth labs, then some itiot trying to rid propane to a BBQ, drunk. They've burned at least twice, the last with fatalities. Also, beware, beware, beware PayClix! If you do the research about the company you fill find out that PayClix was started for/for the benefit of Princeton Property Management. It allowed them to lay off 1-2 people/property, big savings, then they turn around and charge you a $2-$5 "convenience charge" per transaction. I never suspected them until I sent my landlord a 30-day notice for material breach of the rental agreement, and made a pre-paid rent payment for the last month, to seal the demand. PayClix refused the payment, for no reason other than the it would have put the property manager in a bad position. I was saved/you can be, by the fact that the wife of the guy that runs PayClix is on the Oregon Board of Education, the Intel venture capital board and one other I can't remember. Bottom line, they can't afford accusations about "lack of fiduciary responsiblility", which is what not being an impartial broker handling your funds constitutes.
