this place will bleed you dry, whether it's on rent, electric or water. the water bill is based on the amount used in the whole community and then split up by unit. so you can end up paying $50/month for the 30 showers you take in your one bedroom place and the family of four who takes 120 shaowers a month pays the same thing. the carpeting is awful, with a 1/2 gap between the carpet and the door frames. the a/c in my unit comes out with the force of an everyday breath. the windows don't seal tightly, and there are gaps in between exterior doors to let cold air out in the summer and cold air in in the winter. b/c of that, our electric is through the roof.
recently, many units, including mine, had hot water heaters expelling water which leaked onto the carpet. the construction is pretty shabby for a place that charges $1500/month. this complex is 3 years old and is already having severe problems.
the management doesn't really seem to take such concerns seriously, instead focusing on how it can lure buisness to pay them for furnished apartments for people who come in and work in the area for 6 months.
the parking situation is quite terrible. additionally, people seem to not grasp the concept of actually putting trash in the trash unit, instead placing trash next to dumpsters.
i know that many of my neighbors, both young and old, are shocked that rates will be going up $60-$100 after the current lease expires. if there was improvement in the facilities, then maybe that increase would be warranted. but things only seem to be getting worse.

While I agree with some of your points (parking, people not knowing how to throw garbage out) I have to disagree on one thing in particular. Your water bill is based on individual usage. There are exact usage numbers on your bill, and the stupid $5 conservice fee is for determining individual usage.
