Ok, but BE CAREFUL

My experience with Place to Be has been decent enough, but could have been terrible.
I'm living at Belle Bryan. It's a fairly new complex and pretty well kept up for the most part. They change the air filters every few months and do regular pest control. The apartments are very small for the price and the bathroom only has a stall shower and no drawers or cabinets (makes storage difficult), but they do come with full sized washer and dryer, which is nice. The office staff is not very friendly, but as long as you pay your rent on time you never have to deal with them.
On the other hand, some of my friends lived at Westin Place. It's a completely run down cockroach infested rat hole and I'm surprised it hasn't collapsed by now. DISGUSTING is all I have to say for it. Since it's so old they don't bother with maintenance at all. The A/C went out in the middle of the summer and it took forever to get it fixed.
Also, the lack of professionalism is astounding. Westin Place is all bills paid, but my friends always went over. Instead of simply posting the amount due, they came home once a month with a flyer stating, in large font, "HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN" (no question mark, of course) and threatening additional fees if it was not paid immediately. Of course they hadn't forgotten, it was the first notice they had. Oddly enough, when my friend asked that a copy of the bill be included with the notice all charges stopped immediately. They never received a notice that they went over again, which leads me to believe they were lying about it the whole time.
So, to sum it all up: if you're renting a newer property and can keep track of all your expenses on your own, then go for it. If not, don't even think about it.
