Its okay but know what you are getting into From: lakinaohawaii@hotmail.com Date posted: 2/7/2007 Years at this apartment: 2006 - 2007 1 response   I'll start off with some good things. - There is an activities Director. I love the yoga and kickboxing classes that I have taken as well as the community get-togethers. - There is always parking -Free shuttle to King St. metro - Discounts to nearby stores as well as discount movie tickets -Everyone is nice - I have basement/1st floor apt and it stays generally cool in summer. - New Harris Teeter right next to apt complex Bad stuff - I have had all sorts of bugs in my apartment, including these spider/cricket jumpy things. I have only seen 1 roach though. - I had mold growing along the frame of my window sill. I live in the basement/1st floor apt. I don't think my apartment is sealed well. I should not have mold growing in my apartment. I called maintenence but I think they just painted over it. - Actual apartment is not as well kept as the model they show you. - There is a small window in the shower of the bathroom. I feel very conscious taking a shower when it is dark outside. There are venitian blinds in the window, but those get wet and mucky with the products you use in the shower. -Since my apt is in the ground it gets very humid in the summer - I can hear my neighbors above me using the bathroom. Sometimes it sounds like he/she stomps around the apt. It gets annoying. - There is a standard 5% increase in rent after one year. -Outside appearance of buildings could be better. The wood to the porch above me is mossy and rotting. Also, I have know someone who lives in the two bedroom apt. The water pressure is really weak.
