Im currently a resident at 1920 West Alabama Apartments.

Im renting a single bed / bath downstairs apartment for $595 a month. Water is paid for by the apartment company.

The manager has not been in the office for several weeks, it's like they are never here.

They made us put parking stickers on the outside glass on our vehicles, but the stickers that they gave us were so poorly constructed that they fall off or rot away after a few months. I remedied this by just taping the sticker to the inside of my vehicle with the logo/info facing outside. The crazy landlord goes nuts about all of us not having parking stickers too.. and it's like.. "Ok you crazy @!#@, try giving us parking stickers that aren't exposed to rain and crap every @#!@$$ day.."

The noise level of the apartment is a joke, you can hear people talking, screwing, breathing, in the next apartment over.. And no it's not like I have some super-sonic hearing either.. The walls are super thin. The ceiling is a joke. The whole roof shakes when someone upstairs moves. It sounds like thunder when someone upstairs opens their sliding door. The piples creak and pop when anyone in the apartment block uses the shower.. *POP* *CREAK* *POP* *POP* *PLONK* *CREAK*......

When I first moved in, the apartments did not have a dumpster.. so we had to take our trash, and throw it over the fence into an adjacent apartment complex's dumpster. They fixed that now.. We actually have a dumpster that we can call our very own, im sure that they're proud.

Water pressure is great here. They don't seem to limit the amount of water per second that comes out the shower-head.

There are no security gates here, and no security at all. It's not too much of a problem because the neighborhood is pretty nice. I had a pair of shorts stolen from my front porch as they were drying because I used them in the swimming pool. Another resident had a mountain bicycle stolen from his front porch that he had locked up. The burglar took a pair of chain cutters and removed the chain.

Despite all of these problems 1920 West Alabama is an "OK" place to live, mainly because the size of the apartment, design and price are very good. I myself am moving out soon though.
