Here's my laundry list of reasons I'd never go back:

-You have to DRIVE your garbage to the front of the complex to the compactor! There are NO dumpsters inside!

-We were the 2nd people to ever live in the apartment, when it was just one year old, and the berber carpet was already shredding. The bathroom door didn't even align with the frame properly when it closed. Also, simple things like switchplates and outlets were installed visibly crooked. I guess they were so busy to get things done that they didn't have time to do a decent job. PS - The plastic bathtub was a nightmare to keep clean.

-It was only a 3-month short-term lease, so we gave them our move-out date when we moved in. This they promptly lost or forgot, so we had to fight them to avoid paying 2 extra months' rent for not giving them our 60-day move-out notice.

-Nearly one fourth of the parking spaces for the four buildings around ours were marked handicapped, so I almost always had to park 3 buildings away to find a normal spot. Our neighbors just gave up and started using the handicapped spaces.

Good points:
-The floor plan and the high ceilings were nice.

-The large utility room was nice, and having a real door on it really kept the washer/dryer quiet.

-On the top floor, near the back of the complex, the only neighbors we heard were the screaming kids across the hall, and they were only there on weekends. However, on the balcony, we could still here the noise coming all the way from the pool.

-There were lots of hummingbirds at the feeder I put out.

-I never died making a left turn onto FM 620 (This issue has since been fixed by a new stoplight, after at least one fatal accident).
