This Place is the Nightmare.. Not Elm Street

This Place is Horrible. Let's begin. If you go out after 5:00 PM. Forget about having a parking place when you get back. You will have to walk about a quarter-mile to you apt when you get back. People here have 2-4 cars per apt and if you have just 1, you are out of luck. Visitors are "supposed" to park in a designated lot. They never do. So a parking lot that is for 5 buildings will and does get filled up by 2 buildings. Do not even try to park on the street. You will get notes left on your windshield warning you that that parking spot is someones and that this is your last warning. You can see who has ignored these warnings by looking at the cars that are "Keyed" up and down the entire lengths of the car. If you try to talk to Management about this they will tell you there is nothing they can do. Then, there are bouts of Mass Tire Slashings. These are going on right now as I speak. I think the count is up to 50 cars over the last 3 days. The parking lots are barely lit, so it is open season for vandals. They do have security but it is a joke. Rather then being able to police the complex, they must go to designated areas with a remote controlled wand and register that they were at these checkpoints within a certain period of time. Just like a scavenger hunt. This defeats the purpose of having security. They are pre-occupied with doing this task rather then worrying about the safety of Salem Harbor. Bottom line. If you value your car, Do Not Move Here! Now let's talk about the Clubhouse. What a disaster! The Gym, if you can call it that, is a joke. It is outdated and broken down. The equipment is hand-me down broken junk. There is a weight room but that is locked and privately used by the mailman that is also a resident. We'll get back to that later. The Gym is never opened on time, or even opened at all. Management sees it as a liability and rather it be closed all together. If you want to use the Clubhouse, YOU MUST HAVE the Mailman cater it. No other way. If not, you do not use it. They are the rules. The pool isn't bad at all. It's probably the only good thing about this place. If you need work done in your apt they will enter with or without your consent. Whether you are home or not. They just had a new cable company install wires and released a letter the night before (not giving enough notice to take off from work) telling you they would be in your apt. If you have an issue with strangers walking through you apt with your valuables, You are out of luck. Management has told people who complained that the installers admittance into your apt would not be stopped". I do not know anyone who lets strangers into their house alone so why is an apt any different' The maintence issues are O.K. to bad. It is not the fault of the maintence men. There are about 5 guys to work on about 200 apts as well as the other local complexes that Salem Harbor owns. They are really busy so be prepared to wait. Then there is the mail issue. It will come opened, ripped, torn, bent, broken or not at all. It will be jammed into a tiny mailbox any way it can fit. If it dosen't it will be left on the floor by the front door and can be picked up by anyone entering or exiting the building. My income tax check was left on the floor 4 years ago and was halfway ripped open. So my business then became my neighbors. Rent goes up every year about 50 dollars so be prepared. I have been saving for a house for the last 4 years and by the time my lease is up next summer I will have enough for a house. Good riddance Salem Harbor! I can finally leave.
