Don't Do It!

From: -Anonymous-
Date posted: 1/9/2005
Years at this apartment: 2004 - 2004
 
OUR FAMILY MOVED IN MAY 2004; THE PLACE WAS BRAND NEW, AND WE JUST MOVED OUT A FEW DAYS AGO. WE HAD TO PAY PENALTIES TO GET OUT OF THE LEASE EARLY, BUT IT WAS WORTH IT! FIRST OF ALL, WHEN WE MOVED IN, OUR APARTMENT WAS FILTHY - DUST EVERYWHERE, YOU NAME IT. THE CONSTRUCTION IS SHODDY AT BEST - THE WINDOWSILLS, MOLDINGS, AND EVEN SOME WALLS IN OUR UNIT WERE UNEVEN. THE NOISE IS TERRIBLE; UNLESS YOU LIVE ON THE THIRD FLOOR WHERE NO ONE IS ABOVE YOU, YOU WILL HEAR EVERYTHING THAT GOES ON UPSTAIRS. OUR UPSTAIRS NEIGHBORS WERE AVERAGE SIZE PEOPLE AND IT SOUNDED LIKE A STAMPEDE OF ELEPHANTS WHENEVER THEY WOULD MOVE. LASTLY, THE MANAGEMENT IS ABSOLUTELY AWFUL. ALL THEY CARE ABOUT IS GETTING THEIR MONEY. ONE DAY MY WIFE WAS ASKING A LEASING CONSULTANT A QUESTION, AND A COUPLE WALKED IN WANTING TO TOUR A MODEL. THE CONSULTANT "SHOOED" MY WIFE AWAY WITH HER HANDS BEFORE EVEN ANSWERING HER QUESTION AND WENT TO HELP THE COUPLE THAT HAD WALKED IN. THEY ARE ABSOLUTELY RUDE AND UNPROFESSIONAL, DON'T TRUST THEIR PHONY SMILES FOR ONE MINUTE. ALL THEY CARE ABOUT IS YOUR DAMN WALLET. THE FITNESS CENTER IS DISGUSTING; DUST AND FILTH EVERYWHERE, BECAUSE THE MANAGEMENT ONLY ARRANGES FOR IT TO BE CLEANED ONCE A MONTH. ALSO, WE HAD PLUMBING PROBLEMS SHORTLY AFTER WE MOVED IN. IT TOOK TWO WEEKS AFTER WE NOTIFIED THE STAFF, AND FIVE MORE PHONE CALLS FOR OUR SINK TO BE FIXED! EACH TIME WE CALLED THEY WOULD PROMISE TO FIX IT THE SAME DAY; EVERY OTHER DAY WE CALLED THEM ABOUT IT AND THEY TOLD US THE SAME THING EVERYTIME "SOMEONE WILL FIX IT TODAY"... YEAH, RIGHT! THE GROUNDS ARE NICE AND THE PARKING IS USUALLY OK, BUT IF YOU CARE ABOUT NOISE AND QUALITY SERVICE, I WOULD RUN. FOR THE PRICES THE GREEDY MANAGEMENT CHARGES, WE SURE EXPECTED ALOT MORE. I DO NOT RECOMMEND ALTA COVE TO ANYONE.
