I lived at Amesbury for 2 1/2 years.

Neighbors: First 9 mos. great. After that, I either felt like I lived in the ghetto or a frat house.

Maintenance: Landscape has much improved over time. Unqualified interior maintenance workers. Never fixed anything properly. Mostly plumbing problems. An occasional bug but nothing a squirt of Raid wouldn't fix.

Management: HORRIBLE! Didn't get the w/d I was told upon moving in. "It was a misunderstanding" I was told. If you're thinking about moving in, GET THE TERMS IN WRITING! And even if they tell you "Don't worry, just include the $3 balance you owe on your next rent payment", EXPECT NASTY LITTLE EVICTION NOTES ON YOUR DOOR UNTIL IT'S PAID. Geez. I never did get an explanation of what that dang $3 was for. Forget getting a return phone call if you leave a message, just keep calling until the rare moment that they actually pick up the phone.

Security: I never had a problem. Saw a car that had been vandalized once, and the laundry room had been damaged once. I felt perfectly safe other than the 'ghetto days' uneasiness.

The entrance gate was my biggest annoyance. Why have it' My choice was either to have my number programmed in and get, seriously, 20 calls per day of random people trying to get in, or disconnect it. I disconnected it. So, my guests knew the rule....wait 5 minutes and if you can't 'submarine in' then I'd drive around and let them in. That was great.

Overall, minor annoyances but you just get tired of dealing with it. I would never live there again. Look around, folks.
