This is a great apartment. I am moving out this month because I need to relocate up north. I have a one bedroom one bath with a study on the 3rd floor.

Here are the reasons I liked the place:

1. The appliances are relatively new.
2. The pool is clean and there are grills with outside flat screen TVs which is pretty nice. (I've never used the grills but I have used the pool and TVs)
3. I've never used the computer area, but it's nice to have the option.
4. The gym is minimal: 2 treadmills, 2 elliptical trainers, 1 bike, a weight area, free weights, medicine balls, pads, and a eight machine. (It gets the job done and 5. I've used it a lot because it's much better than paying 40 bucks for 24 hour... which is right down the street if you prefer)
5. It's an awesome location. (Walmart 5 min, starbucks 2 min, convenience store across the street, movie theater right next to Walmart.)
6. Quiet. I've never heard or seen a big party.
7. There's a playground. I have a 3 year old and there are little kids EVERYWHERE and tricycles under every staircase. This is really nice because she has kids to play with and it feels like a community.
8. They have community events that are run by some girl that isn't even a staff member. She was really sweet. Once she was giving out free fruit and water by the playground another time there was a movie night for the kids (we didn't go, but the option was nice.)
9. THEY PICK UP THE TRASH AT YOUR DOOR! I have actually never lived in an apartment where you didn't have to bring your trash to the dumpster... so it being my first time... I loved it.
10. There are really nice trails right outside the gate for walking and running.
11. The apartment is quite spacious.
12. I've never had a problem where I needed help from the staff or maintenance.

Here are a few of the things I disliked:

1. When we first moved in they had some people clean the carpet. The company sucked. They just wet the carpet basically. Get some other company to do it or do it yourself.
2. The machines in the gym are down sometimes.
3. THIS ONE IS BIG! There is two of us and a child... which means two cars. But with a one bedroom you only get ONE PARKING SPOT! There are only 17 guest spots total, and you can't rent another spot. So if you don't manage to get one the extra spots you have to park across the street at the gas station.... THAT SUCKS!

Overall, it was a nice place to live. I'd recommend it. I just figured since everyone is so negative on these review sites I would give an honest review.

Not perfect, but it's an apartment. If you want perfect... buy a frikkin' house.
