While this place maybe a "great" value, I'm not sure that it's worth the money saved.
Before choosing our 1 bedroom apt.
I informed the leasing agent that I was 5 months pregnant and asked if we should even bother with a 1 bedroom, because we did not wish to move apartments while handling a new born after our lease was up.
Several times he said it would not be a problem, and the day we signed the lease, while doing the walk through with another agent, we mentioned that there was enough room in the bedroom for us and the new baby, and the agent started saying how we should have mentioned it, and when our lease was up we would have to move into a 2 bedroom.
You better believe I'm not moving apartments for another 6 months at least after the baby is born.
Convincing the maintenance staff that my dryer wasn't working was the biggest obstacle I've ever experienced.
It took them coming to the apartment 5 times before they decided that my husband was seriously not going to just give up and use the laundromat.
We are paying for a washer/dryer and we expect them to work properly.
After FINALLY replacing their piece of crap machine with another piece of crap that at least works half way decently, they then came to the house at 8 am the next day without knocking and were going to do construction on the wall while I was in my bed sleeping.
I called my husband obviously upset, and he called maintenance, who insisted that they wouldn't walk in without knocking.
This was not the first time I had, had an issue with the staff walking into our home without knocking, early in the morning.
About a week after moving in pest control walked in and started spraying after I said not to, with me in my bed PREGNANT.
Then they wanted to know why I didn't want the bedroom sprayed.
I've also had issues with the a/c, but according to the maintenance staff, it must just be me, because it works fine.
Thats why I have to sleep with 2 fans and sweat my butt off during the day when the sun is out right'
Nobody speaks english around this area.
The guards do not respond to any kind of noise complaint at any time.
You can seriously get raped and murdered here and the guards will never once check out the situation, or call the police.
I swear my neighbors have 6 kids living in one apt, and while it maybe nice to have a pool in the center of each apartment block, how bout building a damn playground for these kids that need a place to blow off some of their energy, instead of running up and down the stairs!
Oh and I hope you don't need a place to park, because after 6 PM, your taking a walk from your apt to your car.
If you should be lucky enough to actually find a spot, you'll be sure to be one of the lucky people who has to park next to a HUGE truck, parked crooked, and someone is crawling through the opposite side of the car that you are on.
Not that security will come around and leave a warning or anything.

"Happy Lantern" is not an employee/owner/manager or in any way compensated by Lantern Village. I am simply a long term resident who happens to believe that all tenants have an interest in having accurate information posted in hopes of finding and maintaining a good apartment community.
Emotion tends to cause exageration and error in statements and is therefore worth avoiding.
I hope that you find happiness and a place that suits you.

You're busted, you idiot. You couldn't even remember to use the same screen name. Obviously you work for the appartments. Stop brushing off your tenants' concerns and actually do something about it.

I don't care about your pregnancy, hormones, or the gross stupidity of moving into a complex with no handicap parking with a handicapped individual. What I care about is your inane rambling about a place I'm considering looking at.
Ps. Learn to separate your points into individual paragraphs. Wall of text for the loss.

You know, at first your insulting response really got to me, but here is a very simple response for you, I don't live there anymore, and you sound like you probably deserve to live in that hell hole. As for my stupidity to live in a place without handicap parking, it's REQUIRED BY LAW that the apt complex provide the spaces and handicap signs. Maybe you should quit worrying about how I separate my paragraphs, and start thinking about what I've said about the place, then go onto the other comments about this very same complex that REPEAT exactly what I've said. My inane rambling, was an explanation of the poor rating I gave Lantern Hell, and my specific issues. There were of course more issues, but these were the particular big issues, that MARY(resident manager)would not bother to correct. I'm also aware that she reads these posts. So Mary, you and your staff are the laziest people I've had the displeasure of dealing with. Quit hiring --------, that have no English vocabulary at all because they are cheap labor, consider your residents NEEDS, STOP being cheap, and think about the time and money that could be saved if you didn't waste your time reading this site and actually put forth a little effort to make Lantern Hell a better place to live. You might even get to raise the rent if you bothered to do that.
