MOVING OUT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE

Years at this apartment: 2003 - 2006
 
When we first moved into our apartments in 2003, this was a great place to live. The people who rented here were all upper class. They had pool parties with live music and gave away gift receipts for businesses in the area, etc. Now they let people in who throw trash, cigarettes, beer bottles, etc. everywhere (especially the pool area). They have a lot of so-called rules that they arbitrarily apply to everyone except their friends. They decided to put in speed bumps without consulting anyone (and they put in ugly, high ones that everyone complained about). They finally removed the ones near their office, but if you have a low-wheelbase car, it's a problem. Try getting your packages from the office that keeps cutting back the hours they stay open (plus they leave earlier than posted). The management changes every month. When "Steven" was the manager, everything was great, but he has moved on to bigger and better things and they have replaced him with bimbos who won't return messages. There are only a few good maintenance people. The older guy is a jerk. It takes months to get something repaired (be sure to send certified letters). The walls are paper thin. I think the apartment above has had weight lifters .. or it sounds like it. The carpets have to be replaced with every new tenant because they're so cheap. And they will charge you for everything when you move out, including things that should be normal wear and tear. Periodically there is an ant problem. The fire alarms go off and it is two months later before they fix the hall fire doors to open again -- try carrying in groceries and having to open those heavy doors. They no longer keep the sidewalks/hallways clean. They won't let kids into the pool area alone, but they let "adults" trash it on weekends. They come into your apartment with very little notice (or none at all). The only thing they have that's great is the CARE TEAM people. They do brunches for the tenants (on an extremely low budget) and do a nice job .. and they're a super nice couple. Nice looking apartments and floor plans, but it's not worth it. Do yourself a favor and look elsewhere.
