What a waste....

I was so excited when I saw the floorplans! Huge, gorgeous... new - everything that I wanted. Then I did my homework and found it took very little to find out what the problem was here - EXTREMELY POOR MANAGEMENT. Despite my misgivings about the re[utation of the complex, I was willing to give it a try anyway. I really loved the floorplans and was willing to take a risk on them. Started the paperwork and then got hit with a $450 deposit'!'! Same job for years, same aparment for years, good credit (I double checked after leaving). So much for taking a risk on them, they confirmed all of the poor ratings in one shady move. I was willing to overlook the fact that I'm pretty sure the front office chick was on drugs, and the fact that there seemed to be tourists in the pool (who takes randowm pictures of buildings in their own complex'), the fact that so many people took the time to write up a review and no one seems impressed but there was no WAY I was going to be so stupid as to give them my money for nothing.
I may not have the super huge space with the fantastic windows... but I have a good place with great management - which is worth it.

I guess an apartment complex is only as good as each individual's experiences. I've had no problems whatsoever. Whenever I've submitted maintenance requests (online) they've been handled promptly and the management has been very courteous and helpful. I moved in last December (2007), so I don't know whether that was the "old" or the "new" management, but I have no complaints - and I LOVE my apartment; it's HUGE. Granted there's the occasional loud music (though it doesn't last long) but that can happen anywhere; it's strictly a matter of who lives above, below or next to you - i.e. luck. If you want to minimize your chances of being disturbed, rent a house.
