I agree with another tenant that said they paid for utilities for the time before they moved in. Our apartment was vacant for several months before we moved in; and our utilities tried to charge us for that time; when in all honesty it should have been charged to the apartment because no one lived there. Check your meters and call all utility companies to come out on the day you move in....not after.

As for the apartment themselves. We have lived in both SK Management and Holiday Park (across the street from each other). The apartments are older; about 20 years or so. There is normal settling of the building. But short of tearing them down, they can't do anything about it. Holiday Park is now updating all of their town homes. We live directly across the street and in the last 6 months I have seen them put in new windows in all of the town homes (across from me), rebuild the retaining wall, replace the roof and I've seen some appliances go in. They are also allowing dogs, something they never did before.

The maintenance was really good. They only had a few maintenance people, so often times it was slower than I liked, but they put the priorities in order and got the issues taken care of. At one point we had water pouring in our kitchen from our upstairs bathroom, and they came out right away and "fixed" the problem. They didn't give excuses or patch it...they actually fixed it.

There are ups and downs of every apartment, you have to choose what is more important to you. After living in both SK and Holiday Park, I would move back in a heartbeat. In comparison they are excellent.
