Decent Neighborhood, Not Worth the Rent

The grounds are beautiful, the access to the laundry onsite is good if you live close to the building, and the closets are good size, but overall I wouldn't recommend anyone renting here. The rent is high for the small apartment you get. One time the maintenance man came in to fix my dishwasher, I never called in a complaint, and he used my paper towls and wash clothes for something - I found them in a pile on the floor in front of the dishwasher. He didn't leave a workorder or a note of any kind. I came home from work to find the mess and called the landlord and told her I thought someone broke in my apartment and that's when she said he'd been there. I lived there one year, had moved in for good rent, then they upped the rent $40 for renewal! They were going to charge me the same price as a new tenant! To make matters worse, my next door neighbors and upstairs neighbors were always fighting - paper thin walls. My upstairs neighbor moved in a huge dog that was left indoors a lot and barked at every noise he heard. I complained to management many times but they never did anything about it. The dog was over the weight limit, too. I wouldn't recommend anyone moving in here.
