I have been living at Windsor for almost one year now and I must say that I am
counting down the days until my contract is up. When I first came to visit these
"luxury" apartments, the incredibly charming Marketing Rep made this place sound
like it was Oz. Little did I know, that after a week of living here, I would be
tapping my ruby slippers together wishing to be out of this nightmare . I will admit
that I did not look around as much as I should have for other apartments to
rent, but I'm sure my fellow renters here at Windsor didn't either.
The apartments from the outside are beautiful, and so are the grounds. But we
all know looks can be deceiving (i.e. Jessica Simpson). The apartment I was
shown was said to be a 100% duplicate of the apartment I would be living in.
Lies, lies, lies. The one bedroom, one bathroom apartment I live in, is so
incredibly small that Gary Coleman himself would have something to complain
about. I pay nine hundred dollars for rent alone, for a 500 square foot
apartment. Oh, did I forget to mention that absolutely no utilies are included'
Not even water, which I don't think the earth is going to be running out of
anytime soon. So basically we are talking about over one THOUSAND big ones each
month. I will not be getting those new Monolo Blahniks anytime soon. Beware, the
Marketing Rep, who shall remain nameless, will seduce you into
signing by describing all the wonderful amenities that are free at Windsor. The
pools are the size of those plastic inflatable ones you used as a child. The
fitness center is the size of a walk in closet. The tanning booth makes sure you
are as white as Casper the Friendly Ghost year round, and as for the jacuzzi, Ruben Studdard would
have a hard time squeezing into it. Other than all those wonderfull amenities,
the parking spaces were meant to only fit matchbox cars. Yet, I have saved the
best for last. Did you know the walls are made out of paper' The couple living
below me are in the process of a hard breakup. The girl has been cheating on her
poor boyfriend for about 5 months, and now shes pregnant! This is just a little
sneak peak of the Windsor Saga I hear every day and night. So if you are looking
for an over-priced, over-rated apartment, then sign that lease already. If you
are wise and not the type to be ripped off, then keep looking. I have already
found 5 apartments that are twice the size of this and include those important
utilities. Over and out.
