Years at this apartment: 2004 - 2007
 
I have lived here almost 4 years and this year has been the worse. It wasn't bad when we first moved in but this past year it is absolutely the worst. We can't use to the pool or the park because of the neighboring complex utilizing our amenities. There is no security. We hear gunshots and call the police, it helps for a couple of days, maybe a week then they start up again. You don't hear or see this on the local news because the apartment is so close to the beach and don't want to scare tourist. They will tow your car at the drop of a hat if you don't have a decal. The maintenance group is slow on repairs and I've taken to cleaning the hall myself on ocassion. My dryer hasn't been working properly in a year and they haven't correct or replaced the problem. My AC was out and water was leaking from the unit, it took them 2 1/2 weeks to come and check it out. They don't exterminate when they say, but will come a week later when you're not prepared. Its a mess. The quality of tenants have gone down too. I use to have GREAT neighbors & management group. They cared about the property just as I do or did. The new tenants don't care and trash the place just the the neighboring complex does. If you have children I suggest finding something else, I don't trust to leave my 5th grader at the bus stop in the morning and its daylight savings time. If you are able to find something in the area the schools are great!!! I can't complain because of the amount of rent I pay, but as they say you get what you pay for. I hate to move but I have no choice, I've had it with the new management group.
