Keep moving - nothing to see here.

You would think that a newly built apartment would be a nice place to live. Especially when you see the nice landscaping.

If the rest of the staff were even half as attentive as the always-working landscaper, this would be a great place to live. Unfortunately, they don't and it's not.

In the course of two years, we have made multiple complaints to the office but have never had one of them resolved.

When our refrigerator compressor stopped working on a Friday night in November, we were told to put our perishables in an insulated cooler and keep it on the porch. They said they would call us back during the day on Saturday to schedule the repair, but we never heard from them. (Thankfully, the compressor miraculously started working again on its own Saturday evening. The office never followed up on the problem.)

We also made several complaints about cracking where wall meets the ceiling. The property manager told us that it was probably just the building settling but promised to stop in and take a look. She has never stepped foot in our unit.

The units are uninsulated and the noise level is unbearable. This is compounded by neighbors who play stereos and TVs at high volumes at every time of the day. Despite a lease with a "peaceful enjoyment" clause, the office advised us to contact the police for all after-hour noise complaints and has consistently done nothing for daytime complaints.

Unless you're still looking to live like a college student (loud parties, pranks on neighbors who complain, management that seems non-existent) but want to look like you live in a classy joint, please come and rent my soon-to-be-vacant apartment. If you want peace and quiet in a well-managed family-oriented environment, run as fast as you can to a different property.
