My experience at Rose Hill is a mixed bag. We've had both ups and downs here.

There is plenty of parking but both of our vehicles have been vandalized on more than one occasion. It is nice that you can pay extra for a reserved spot though we never had to because there was laways plenty of open parking without an unreasonable walk.

Inside the apartments are fine. There are no upgrades, and the appliances are rather dated but they work and for my first time away from home this was fine. Rooms are a decent size. There is a very limited amount of storage space and closets, however, the walk in closet in our master bedroom is wonderful. The outlets and cable hookups are in weird places requiring us to run cables all over the place. The bathroom is tiny and there is no exhaust fan which leads to mildew problems in the shower. It is wonderful having a washer and dryer in unit and those defintely do their job well. As I said before, the appliances are rather dated. We are starting to have probles with our fridge and our microwave. The air vents are horrendus and the way the venting is set up keeps a ton of dust in our apartment and we talked to neighbors who have the same issues.

We have had problems with our neighbors above us each time. The first one we could head snoring every night, and the second we can regularaly hear talking or playing his tv loudly after 11 pm at night. It just seems that the apartments are older and you are going to have higher noise levels. We usualy just turn up our fan or a noise machine and can fall asleep that way.
Although this is a pet friendly community a lot of people seem to be dog haters. On more than one occasion people have acted rude while walking our puppies (and our puppies were not jumping on them or even coming near them) they just act like god why must people have the dogs outside where I must see them. Our puppies aren't breeds which are sterotyped as aggresive either. Its very give or take. There are however just as many people who aren't dog owners who will stop you to say hi to your dogs.

I love the fact that there is a nighttime security guard who patrols all night.

The managment is ok. Some of the people in the office are very nice others just act cold. One of the girls was very rude but is no longer there and another was just too nosy and is gone also ( I don't think it is very professional to bother a newly wed about when they are going to have children and when that person replies that they aren't even sure that they want to have children lecture them about how wonderful chidlren are and you will grow up and change your mind later.... that is not her business and nor is it the place to lecture me about it. I found that extremely unprofessional but I think she may have thought she was just being nice/older and knowing) We had a pipe burst in February soaking our carpet for more than 2 weeks. The first time maintence came out, they blamed it on a leak in the dishwasher, and I tried to ask the man to check everything else because I don't even know how to work a dishwasher (I wash everything by hand because its only me and my husband) but he said he knew it was the dishwasher, since no water had been run all day the leak seemed to clear up, but by the time we arrived home from work the next day, the spot was huge and again leaking dirty water. The area got so large that we had to be put in ahoel while they ripped our whole wall/kitchen apart. They paid for the hotel and all of our food which was great. They told us to submit in writing what we would like to be compensated with, and we asked for a mold test in the future and compensation for my husband having to miss work because the day when we got home the place was so ripped apart we couldn't find anything and weren't able to get any laundry done because of the leak. They did compensate him for part of his pay but the mold test was never compleated. I still think they did a great job of getting us into a pet friendly hotel in a timely matter.

We are leaving because they said in writing both through mail and door drop delivery that our rent was changing by $30 (this was signed by more than one person in the office) and then when we went to resign it turned out that it would be changing to almost $1200 so we decided for that money we could go get a much nicer apartment. We were going to stay because like I mentioned things are adequate and decent, but that much money for a small one bedroom wasn't worth it because we are now making enough money to afford a bigger and upgraded place.

I would reccomend these apartments to someone who is looking for a decent, cheap place to live. For the amount of money they are charging for rent it makes mroe sense to look around the area into some of the "luxury" apartments though.
My experience here was not horrible by any means and if I had to I would probably consider coming back here in the future. I definately wouldn't write them out of the poossiblities.
