Okay the people that claim they're really happy here are probably staff. My boyfriend came over and was asked to sign the lease. This was after he signed a "VISITOR FORM". Which is what people staying a couple of nights have to fill out. This form includes social security #. The train is a serious problem it's EXTREMELY LOUD!!! Every time I turn my water on it's brown before it's clear. My entire apartment smells like mold.... The apartments are basically priced $1 per square foot. Which is reasonable. But if you want the leasing agent from hell calling you asking who you have over a few times a week.....live here..

I am a tenant, I wrote a review. I don't work at the Apartment Complex. I have lived here for over a year now. I don't have brown water, nothing smells like mold to me. You know about the train before you get here, in FACT, there is a discount if you live right next to the tracks. If you want to get an idea about this place, there are at least 10 families that I know of that have lived here for more than 5 years. Why would they do that if there were so many problems? As for the visitor form? I am not complaining, as this person put a 5 for safety they are obviously not too concerned about safety, maybe that is why.

I lived there for more than 2 years and I can provide you with a list of 10 folks that have moved in and moved on a quickly as possible. Why do FAMILIES stay at Sundance? Because the apartments are cheap. Families don't live in apartments because it's convenient. They live in apartments because they're poor. We had the largest apartment possible and it was too small for the two of us and our dog, so I cannot even imagine trying to raise a kid in one. And besides, why would you want a kid living in the same apartment complex where the handyman is a convicted kiddie molester who has access to EVERY SINGLE apartment. Smart parenting.

You might want to check your facts before you post who you think works for the complex. The "handyman" resigned after 15 years of service for Sundance.

He must have resigned recently. And thank goodness for that, but here's a thought, does he still live there?

I currently live at this complex and know for a fact that the maintenance man who currently works here was convicted on two seperate counts of child molestation. I looked him up on a web site where he is listed. He is allowed to work here because his mother is the grounds keeper. I think it's really irresponsible for the management to not at least notify tenants of this-- I learned through hearsay and had to look it up myself.

hahaha I love how the people that work there are trying to cover up this ---- hole. Wow, you have so much credibility when it's your job to lease out the place!!! And you seriously think that a discount is going to make up for the train noise??? I don't think any amount of money could make up for a train blaring its horn at 3 in the morning. And I also think people should know about this before they move in, so sun dance workers, DON'T TRY TO COVER S*%#T UP ON HERE!

I had the same situation, the freakin leasing agent would call me and ask who was staying at my place. I understand enforcing the lease, but she crosses the line, she'll freaking harass you. She needs a friend.
