I'm a long time resident, moving out in the next couple months. I find the circumstances unfortunate, because this place is full of unrealized potential. The apartments could have character, the ground could be quite relaxing, and the overall property could be quite convenient.

However, a recent change in management - prior to the 2008 hurricanes - has left us with a giant sucking hole where maintenance used to be. The parking lot is a shambles, the grounds - aside from the street facing - are degrading, and the place is just slowly falling apart. There's almost no preventative maintenance taking place, and more than a couple flat-out cases of incompetence.

Given a proper face-lift and overhaul, I could wholeheartedly recommend these units. Heck, they even charge more if they'd bother to clean and repair the buildings. But as-is, the place is quickly becoming decrepit.

Parking 2: There are 12 Visitor Spot in the entire complex, and a rash of car break-ins have me worried. We counted 6 smashed windows in one night.

Noise 4: Very quiet from apartment to apartment, due to brick walls, but you can hear people walking by too easily.

Grounds 1: The plants are nice, but the entire complex is diseased with rust, rot and mold.

Safety 2: Large bushes adorn the property, poor outside lighting and the aforementioned car break-ins.

Construction 2: This would be a fantastic place if they'd just repair something competently.

Staff 3: I have met 8 different office people, plus maintenance staff and the former IT guy. Of the 8, 3 were very helpful, 2 of those left the property years ago. The current manager is, at best, flighty. She lacks integrity and substitutes grins and promises for quality work.

Overall 2: I've seen worse places, but I know this could be an outstanding complex if only they'd put some effort into it. I will not be renewing and will likely not live in a complex owned by Walden or managed by Stone Mountain.
