Trinity Lakes has beautiful landscaping and that's their priority. They hate kids and families. They prefer to rent apartments to large groups of Mexican men, all male construction crews with large trucks and trailers, bikers with loud hogs, college students that party hardy and immigrants that can't speak English or follow customary rules of courtesy. Many residents obviously don't own cars because you see so many walking to the bus stop or pushing carts from KMart. There are lots of KMart carts littering the area. The number of lone men walking through the area are scary to single moms and kids.

The apartments are small. The kitchens are minute with no cabinet space -- perfect for college guys to store lots of beer with built in microwaves to warm up left over fast food but unusable for actual real cooking. There is no linen closet or place to put a dining room table in a 2BR/1/BA apartment.

Kids under 18 can't use the pool, exercise room, jacuzzi, tennis courts or volleyball pits. Roller skating and bike riding bothers them. The office staff says awful things to kids and thinks nothing of making a child cry for no good reason.

The parking lot is a place for the -------- to work on their beat up old clunker cars, lay around on the grass and drink beer as they talk on cell phones and play loud Mexican music into the wee hours of the morning. The grassy areas are covered in dog poop because large dogs are allowed. Nothing like labs' and rottweilers'piles to decorate the landscape -- makes walking to the car at night such an adventure.

The maintenance crew is overworked because the buildings are nearly 20 years old, and built using the cheapest materials and fixtures available. I had the delightful privilege of having live birds in my HVAC closet each spring. How they got into my entry level apartment with apartments both above and below me still boggles my mind. Then there were the water stains on the ceiling after a major rainstorm -- how did I get water being in the middle of two other apartments'

In the 2 and 1/4 years I lived there I had the bathtub faucet leak fixed 9 times then finally just let the thing drip. Well, it was more than a drip -- it was like the faucet was turned on half way. I just got used to the sound of running water. I had the air conditioning repaired 6 times -- sometimes waiting over 48 hours and suffering through the heat. The apartment above me had a leaky air conditioner that would leak through the ceiling and cause the cabinets over my sink to DROP out from the ceiling. I had this "fixed" 3 times. The dryer died 5 times and was never replaced, just patched up to go until it died again. The washer died a time or two, the refrigerator went out once.

The massive amount of ducks on the property ruled the roost, depositing their poop on cars, wandering through the parking lot causing traffic problems, overwhelming small children and dive-bombing my 2nd floor balcony after I made the mistake of feeding them a time or two.

The new manager is rude and very UNprofessional in her speech and manner. The others in the office are clueless. Amy, the bookkeeper is the only one in the office that knows her head from a hole in the ground but the new manager doesn't allow Amy to do her job or make any decisions. Amy is definitely a lone ranger in that place and needs to move on before they taint her sweet personality.

I'm out of Trinity Lakes now, thank God, and have moved to a much upperscale complex in the area. Here, my daughter can skate and ride her bike and use the many ammenities. My neighbors are families or single people -- no apartments full of Mexican men. The parking lot is filled with new vehicles -- not junkers up on blocks.

Yes, the rent at Trinity Lakes is very reasonable but the old adage of getting what you pay for is true. That place is nothing but a ghetto or really a barrio -- it's a Mexican male Mecca. The parking lot is well located but not totally lit and the number of trucks and trailers that take up to 6 places at a time per truck/trailer makes finding a space difficult. The complex is not a place for single women, kids or families. It's just not safe any more because the management is more interested in money than they are actually screening the renters. Just look at the number of police cruisers that are constantly on the grounds. Immigration service officers need to check the number of unemployed Mexican males that live there and how they pay the rent.

Yes, I'd recommend Trinity Lakes to Mexican men, construction crews and college boys -- it's definitely the place for you all! But for single women, families and kids -- run away, don't walk -- your peace of mind and maybe even your life depends on it.
