Don't Bother

The hallways are very stinky, the elevators are small, cell phone reception is spotty for verizon, and there are a lot of little kids whose parents will complain about noise disturbing sleep at 3 pm. The management staff also tried to convince me there was a $200 "administration move-in fee" which they then said was an "amenities fee". Don't fall for this! I told them to show me this on the lease and they said that it wasn't, so I told them I refused to pay it and then they just backed off and said ok. That's pretty shady/illegal if you ask me. The lobby looks nice, but the apartments are run of the mill to below average and the hallways look dreary and smell of curry. The pool is tiny and worthless for anything but sitting next to especially since rules explicitly forbid anything from floating devices to "ball playing." Might as well sit in a bath tub. The old front desk guy has a huge chip on his shoulder and will treat you like an idiot. If you ask for anything to be done, it will take a long while or it won't happen at all. Make sure you get receipts for your rent, they have told me in the past I haven't paid rent yet but then I show them the receipt they signed before they believe me. Just buy a house if you can, now's the time to buy. Seven Corners sucks in general.

Also, utilities are extra and shared among all residents based on the number of occupants and the size of your apartment. I was in my apartment for 1 week in May, yet was charged $75 in utilities for my single occupancy 1 bedroom. This was not brought up in the lease, so make sure you bring it up if you're really desperate to move there.
