Not Happy

I've never disliked an apartment complex enough to actually spend the time to write a review on it, until now. The parking situation is atrocious. Whenever I think about having someone over, I decide not to since they will more than likely end up paying $5 to park across the street. The visitor's parking is ridiculously small. Management claims they are going to redesign that area, but nothing has happened yet. Also, there is a big problem with unauthorized parking. Unfortunately, the area is too small for a tow truck, so I'm pretty sure it's now well known that all they'll receive is an orange sticker telling them they're not supposed to be parked there. There have been multiple car break-ins since I've lived there.

The elevators are constantly breaking down. I don't mind taking the stairs, but it's a pain when you're lugging up groceries to the fourth floor. The hallways are a mess. The carpet is stained and many tenants do not clean up after their pets when they can't make it outside in time. The trash chutes get backed up since they only empty them once a week, so the hallways can get pretty rank sometimes. I agree with previous posters about the gym, as well. It is entirely too inadequate for the size of the complex.

I live in a two story loft, and have my thermostat set at 78 degrees. I'm still getting electric bills over $300 during the summer. I understand it's Texas, but that's still unacceptable. The engineering is awful.

The traffic, which I'm aware isn't the management's fault, is frustrating, too. During operating hours, visitors to the Dallas Aquarium tend to think the street is a sidewalk, so navigating to Woodall Rogers is near impossible. Field St backs up everyday, so plan on sitting through that light at least twice. If you decide to go a different route to avoid these two backups, know everyone else decided the same thing. A lot of the traffic backup is cause by the bus station being just around the corner, which also leads to panhandlers and other not so pleasing crowds.
