I have lived here for almost 4 months now I have to say it's a really great place. The staff is very friendly and maintenance is prompt to come fix things. I've rarely seen a bug or two but that might happen if you leave food out for a bit (probably why I saw one). There is also a weight room which is convenient. I've never had a problem with neighbors and noise. Also there is a bus stop right at the back of the building which takes you to the Metro Station. Mason Hall is located about a 1.5 north of Old Town. The only thing that I can complain about is that there is train tracks right across from the apartments and at night a train goes by and blows it's whistle. Thats the only downfall but you get used to it. I'm just glad I don't live in one of 700K townhouses and have to here that.

This rating clearly isn't a 5 star review? Bugs and noise from a train? It's here to admit that you're here because you can't afford anything more - and good luck with that in the future since the rent hikes are underway. I knew something was happening when they put in that tiny patio area and metal bench where the smokers hang out - and then the game room came.

I'd imagine no matter where you live you will run into bug problems. I've had my share of cockroaches and ants but go buy a can of Raid and take care of it yourself if you don't want to wait for the exterminator to come. You sound like you expect perfection from the complex. The train noise you adjust too. Maybe I rated it fairly high my first time around but I would still easily give it a 4.5. Rent hikes happen no matter where you live and I'll just have to deal with as it comes.
