The complex is old as noted in other reveiws, the heating and cooling are issues (swamp cooler). Price is ok for the area, but the overzelous manager sometimes fills the units with less than desirable tenents. The parking is OK only because most tenants do not have a vehicle. The maintanance is ok but the finishing work (making it look like it did before broke/fixed) is lacking. Most poeple here are ok and keep to themselves. It was all bills paid but they started charging even while the all bills paid sign was still posted. The Mangt. is fun, everyday is a new experience, its like a box of chocolates you dont know what youll get till you open the office door, and new rules and such are implimented on a ad hoc level, regardless of what the lease says there are "new" or implied implimentations almost monthly (which you as the lowly tenant are expected to heed without qeustion). There is some renovation planned and hopefully will address some of the building, pigion and insect issues. Check it out, come day and night, do your do diligence before commiting to a lease. Its great for some and not for others. If youre a student, need a cheap place to stay are on drugs and cant afford better or recently diagnosed with a terminal illness this is the ticket, if you expect more than subsistent level ammeniteis shop elsewhere.
