"More appropriate for service workers and such"? What the hell does that mean? Why isn't a "place for young working professionals"? Because it doesn't have an attached wine and cigar bar or fake Irish pub? Get over yourself...you're not that important.

I have been here for almost 2 yrs. I am a young professional and I have had no problems. Maintenance is good, they come and fix your problem in the same day. Parking is not a problem for me. I always find one close to my apartment. However you come home around 1 or 2 in the morning then parking is a little ruff. The area is not that bad. I can walk out to the 7 eleven without getting raped or jacked. I Have never had my car messed with and its safe to me. You think the area is bad? Its not North Arlington, but I can tell you that no one gets shot or raped in the complex or even mugged.
