Not a bad place to call home

I've lived here nearly a year and have had no major complaints. Unfortunately, you can't choose your neighbors and that may be the cause of many of the bad experiences others have had. The location can't be beat, there's lots of parking and rarely do you hear or see your neighbors. I'm not aware of any crime and the pool is a great place to hang out at during the summer. The apartments are spacious and filled with sunlight from the many windows. The staff is pleasant and the property rather clean compared to others.

The few negatives are far outweighed by the positives. The trash compactor is at times piled a few feet high with trash when it's full. People leave discarded furniture at the compactor. The equipment in the "fitness center" is often broken and woefully inadequate for a high quality complex. The floors need reinforcing since I can feel my neighbors walking around or using the stairs. I tiptoe around at night for my downstairs neighbors' sake since the floorboards squeak. And I spent all winter caulking everywhere because cold air pours in through the wall joints. Quality of workmanship is poor, but it is a rental. Overall it's been a nice experience and I plan to stay awhile depending on the amount of the rent increase.
