Worst apartment I've ever lived in

The apartment was horrible but the management was worse. They switched management to the current ones after we had been there for about 4 months and that s when it all started to get bad. The new management is very rude and they don't care about any of the renters. They talk down to you and act like you're wasting their time.
The maintenance was slightly better, they were friendly but they didn't really fix much, our hot water went out 4 times within the same 2 week period and maintenance just kept coming back and would light the furnace then leave even though that was not the problem. Finally, after 2 weeks of intermittent hot water they were able to figure out what part we needed and ordered it.
The grounds are horrible, the worst I've ever seen, the dumpsters were too small and there was always trash lying all around the dumpsters in the parking lot. Around our building we had dog crap everywhere and no one ever picked it up. It smelled horrible just to go outside, it got to the point where I didn't even want to sit on my balcony any longer.
The apartments are new but they're falling apart, our bathtub wouldn't drain, the floor was uneven, our hot water heater went out and the lights in the breezeway in front of our apartment were always out and never replaced, even when we mentioned it to the management.
Our neighbors were really nice at first but after they moved out our building was pretty much empty for about 9 months. After that our building filled up with some really shady people, including a couple who would routinely fight and threaten each other outside while their young son would hang out in the parking lot by himself. At the pool people would have parties and drink and not supervise their children at all.
I would not recommend this apartment to anyone. We moved to East Riverside after moving out and we love it, it has been a huge upgrade over that horrible place.
I ve been a renter for the last 10 years and I ve rented apartments in 3 different cities and it s safe to say that this apartment was by far the worst I have EVER lived in simply terrible, there's no other word to describe it.
DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND STAY AWAY!

I agree! I'm moving out in April, and I cannot wait. I'm also moving to the East Riverside area.
