These apartments are small and tucked away on a dead end street near Shepherd and Alabama. Unfortunately, one side faces a linen laundry factory that is extremely noisy and starts making a huge racket at 5 in the emorning. If you are thinking of moving here, watch out, the management is prone to lying and harassing the tenants into using less power by way of constant postings on the doors of the apartment. Also, they love to bait and switch -- they will show you a nice unit and get you to sign a lease and then tell you you are not getting that unit -- you will end up with something far short of what you expected.
When i lived there, i got one of the only apartments with only one window unit, it was not possible to live in that apartment in the summer without the second unit. They gave me the runaround and never, ever considered putting in an AC for the living room. Cost me 300 to put one in and they accused me of stealing it when i left - no way i was going to leave it for them to keep.
Management was annoying, cost was awesome, parking was tight, and they do an incredibly bad job of painting the apartment for move in -- plan on spending hours removing sprayed on paint that was seemingly applied by a simpleton. Also, they needlessly paint the sinks and tub which invariably end up peeling off the paint in chips and strips.
Two grocery stores within 3 blocks and lots of bus access ... location is the best feature of these apartments.
