I moved here last month. The main complaint I have is the noise. This apartment complex is cheaply built. I can hear my upstairs neighbor all the time. I can hear hem walking, talking, showering, playing on his XBox, every thing. I have a hard time sleeping some nights due to him walking and talking on the phone. The whole roof shakes when he walks. The same thing, unfortunately, happens when my roommate who is only 115 bounds walk around the apartment. I can feel the floor shaking in one room when he walks in the other room. I really regret moving in here and now I am stuck for a year. The management seems to be nice but so far they didn't respond to any of my work orders I asked to do. It has been more than a week that I asked to fix some basic and quick things and they never responded. Another problem is parking. If you arrive after 8pm you have very slim chance of finding a spot close to your apartment door. Some nights I have to park all the way by the other end of the complex.

All this being said, I will not recommend this place to any body under any circumstances.

I would agree for the most part, however it's far worse when you have children living above you. We've spoken to our neighbors above and to the aparment staff as well. The staff spoke to our neighbors, however there's been little change. We've sent 4 letters of complaint to the management, but they won't do more. In many years of apartment living I've never complained about noise before. The aparment construction is to blame as much as the people. The whole aparment shakes when the kids run upstairs. Generally the complex has been good about getting to maintenance requests quickly. This has dropped off in the past month. I don't know if it's because they're busier or they're short on people, but it's not normal from my past experiences.
