Nice interiors, but some big problems

Parking. Absolutely terrible situation. Management blames overnight guests and too many cars per apartment. However, a quick count of spaces around some of the buildings shows that the grounds were not well-designed, and there are too few spaces for most of the buildings. Management has in the past refused to assign spaces, and I think this is because it would reveal just how badly designed the place is. The latest property managers, who seem to have inherited this mess, have at least decided to do SOMETHING, and they are providing parking permits. However, I don't think it's gonna make a big dent in the problem. There simply aren't enough spaces near some of the buildings.

Also, as has been mentioned in other reviews, the place has basically been turned into a dorm. Originally from what I understand, all the college students from Crichton were suppsed to be in a seperate building that's isolated on the grounds. However, management apparently changed their minds on that, and has leased out to Crichton all over the complex. Now you have to put up with drunk college kids every night, all weekend long. And now that college football season is on, it's even worse. Had a group of drunk kids talking outside my bedroom window from about 12 midnight until 6 AM the other day. And of course, with drunk college kids, comes trash.

The interiors are nice, high celings, new appliances, and the place is only a couple years old. The apartments have fire sprinklers, and plenty of smoke detectors. Water pressure is good, but I live on the ground floor, not sure about upper levels.

Management has gotten a lot better. Previous people were a bit rude, but new staff is friendlier. It should be noted that there has been a lot of mail robbery in the time I've lived here, as the mailboxes are open to the outside, and are not behind the gate.
