I'll be the first to say I loved this place when I moved in. Heck we recommended it to all our friends, I seriously regret that now.

First of all, if you have a pet, expect to get raped, if you have more than one then you better not move here. It cost us $550 dollar for one 8 lb dog that we got towards the end of our lease (she alone didn't even cost that much)! If you have two it's an additional $450 per animal, so if you have pets this is not the place for you. Also, from what I hear, the refundable $350 of that pet deposit is highly unlikely. Any damage to the apartment gets blamed on the animal and they keep the money.

Parking sucks... after 5:00 pm expect to park no where near your unit if you work a 9-5, that is unless you have a garage. Occasionally we had no choice but to use the handicap parking (we do not have any handicap people near our unit, so don't hate) and just 2 weeks ago they had a cop come to our apartment at 7:45 in the morning to get us to move the car or get towed. We didn't even get a warning notice!

Also, we've had a string of break-ins in just the past 2 weeks, nothing taken, which is even scarier. One guy was in his bathroom and someone had come in through a window and tried to force the bathroom door down while he was in it. Thankfully he had the phone and called the cops and scared the person away. Cops searched his place, no one there, he stayed in a hotel and came back the next morning only to find his window was opened again! It's like the person was after him! That's scary! Also, someone tried to enter our apartment by the front door, I had no clue. I was watching TV and thought the wind was causing my door wreath to bang up against it. It wasn't until my husband had come home and found the door open that we both realized someone had attempted to enter. Another family reported that a strange man entered their home early one morning while the parents were asleep and the kids were up watching TV. He walked all the way into the house looked around as if confused and left. This is the crazy stuff that happens here, and we don't even live on the east side! Now, check this, I call and report all this to the leasing office and the girl proceeds to tell me "what kind of people don't lock there doors". Sure she attempted to show some concern and said she would call me back, which she didn't, and she also requested the names and apartment numbers of the people who had told me all this, almost as if to say I was making it all up.

So, really consider all this before you move here. My suggestion, talk to the tenants out by the pool, you'll find that the majority of them don't like it here. We move out in two months, I'll let you know if I get my doggy deposit back.

If your friends are so scared to live there... then why didnt they call the office or the police! That is the first thing I would do. A very close friend of mine is a police officer in the area and has never heard of these things. He told me that the only problems they get are people being loud at the pool. I have lived here for a few months and have not had any problems! Everyone is really nice and always bends over backwards to help me with anything I need. One of the maintnace guys even come help me replace on of the light bulbs since I could reach it. I think that is pretty good service! (being that it was something so small as a bulb) I still like this place and would be proud to recomend it to all my friends.
