Mixed Thoughts On Recommendation From: -Anonymous- Date posted: 6/23/2003 Years at this apartment: 2003 - 2003   We recently signed a long term lease. We randomly spoke to a few people on the grounds before doing so. All had nothing but positive things to say. GOOD: We couldn't have asked for a better price between all the discounts and specials we rec'd. Our neighbors seem to be very polite. No problems there. We live in one of the 'good' buildings as far as parking goes. Samantha, the new mgr. said she will probably have assigned parking soon to remedy the parking problems most people have. We have had terrific experiences dealing directly with Samantha. I can't say I care for anyone else working there. The tenant that was burglarizing the vehicles was arrested a couple of months ago and is still in jail according to Samantha. BAD: There were several things wrong with the apt. the day we moved in. The apt was vacant for 1 month before we moved in, so I feel these problems should not been present upon our arrival. An appliance was broken and that was VERY obvious upon inspection. We had multiple wasp, dirt dobber (sp'), and bird nests. I also found a snake in our outdoor storage unit. There was also ceiling damage from an old water leak that they didn't fix until after we moved in. UGLY: We had to contact mgmt several times to get anything fixed. Communication errors seem to be the culprit. The quality of the work of the maintenance crew is laughable. They damaged a wall putting the replacement appliance in, (just a drop or three) painted on some of our possessions while attempting to repair the ceiling, painted over all outlets w/o masking, etc. When they repaired the ceiling, they used a bright white paint on that section when the rest of the ceiling was much, much darker. They didn't even texture it correctly. I have taken it upon myself to redo most things instead of harassing them to fix it, considering the poor work they do. After waiting over a week, I took it upon myself to remove all of the insect nests and to seal off the storage unit outside to prevent further problems with insects and snakes. I will be repainting the 'repaired' section of the ceiling myself this week. I would make the same choice if I had to do it over again. For me, the money I saved makes it worth the hassle. Some people may feel differently. I have had similar experiences at many other apts, so I don't consider it to be out of the norm. YMMV
