Creston Point Apartments

Can we say G-H-E-T-T-O F-A-B-U-L-O-U-S' From: -Anonymous- Date posted: 8/10/2007 Years at this apartment: 2007 - 2007   THIS IS HANDS DOWN THE ABSOLUTE WORST APARTMENT COMMUNITY I HAVE EVER LIVED IN. THE PARKING SUCKS, THE APARTMENTS ARE CHEAPLY CONSTRUCTED. THE PAINT STAINS WITH THE SLIGHTEST TOUCH. IF YOU ATTEMPT TO WIPE THE WALLS, OFF COMES THE PAINT. THE CARPET HAS ABSOLUTELY NO STAIN GUARD AND LOOKED AS IF A HERD OF ELEPHANTS HAD TRAMPLED THE CARPET WITHIN A MONTH. WE MOVED IN 2/2007. THIS PLACE WAS ADVERTISED TO BE A SECURED COMMUNITY ENVIRONMENT THAT WOULD BE PEACEFUL, FUN AND FOSTER A FAMILY ATMOSPHERE. NOW IF YOUR IDEA OF SECURED IS THE GATE BEING BROKEN 60% OF THE TIME, I SUPPOSE THEY ARE CORRECT. FAMILY ENVIRONMENT: THERE IS A CABANA WITH A MOVIE ROOM, A POOL, A PLAYGROUND, AND EVEN A DOG PARK. IT WOULD BE SAFER TO HAVE MY CHILDREN PLAY IN A CONSTRUCTION ZONE. WE WERE NEVER PROVIDED A SCREEN FOR OUR SLIDING GLASS DOOR. NOW THAT SUMMER HAS ARRIVED, WE FIGHT DAILY WITH THE MOSQUITOS THAT COME IN. SO I SUPPOSE WE COULD SIT HERE WITH THE TEMPERTURE SET TO HELL OR DEAL WITH THE BUGS. THAT GONNA BE A TOUGH CALL. OH AND DID I MENTION THESE "BRAND NEW" APARTMENTS HAD A PIPE THAT JUST FELL OFF IN THE MASTER BEDROOM. THE TOWEL RACK WAS CONVENIENTLY LYING ON THE FLOOR WHEN I RETURNED HOME FROM WORK. THE BATHROOM FLOOR ALONGSIDE THE TUB IS BEGINNING TO MILDEW. THE STAIRS LEADING TO THE APARTMENTS ARE EITHER OCCUPIED BY SOME SECTION 8 RECIPIENT OR FILLED WITH CIGARETTE BUTTS, SODA BOTTLES OR TRASH BAGS. AND LET ME SAY THAT THE LOCATION IN WHICH YOU HAVE TO DUMP YOUR TRASH IS LESS THAN IDEAL. I LIVE IN THE FAR BACK OF THE COMPLEX. I HAVE TO EITHER TAKE A DAMN NEAR 5 MILE HIKE TO THE FRONT TO EMPTY THE TRASH WITH THE KIDS OR LOAD IT IN THE CAR ON MY WAY OUT (JUST THE WAY I WANT TO SMELL WHEN I GET TO WORK-- LIKE TRASH). NOW THESE 3 BEDROOMS ARE $1146 PER MONTH. THAT IS A PRETTY PENNY TO HAVE TO PAY FOR ME TO HAVE TO DEAL WITH CPP (RENT-A-COP CRESTON POINT POLICE) EVERYDAY. EVERY TIME I HAVE A GUEST COME TO VISIT, THEY ARE FORCED TO PARK IN THE LIMITED GUEST PARKING, IF IT IS AVAILABLE. APPARENTLY, THERE IS A NEW POLICY THAT ANYONE WHO IS ON FOOT MUST BE ASKED TO SHOW ID.LETS SEE I WONDER IF THE PERSON WHO KILLED SOMEONE WAS ASKED FOR ID. AND IF SO, WHERE WAS THE INFORMATION RECORDED OR BETTER YET, WAS THE RAPIST ASKED FOR ID. IT IS INTERESTING THAT AFTER THESE EVENTS WE WERE NOT NOTIFIED BY MANAGEMENT THAT THERE HAD BEEN A MURDER. WE WERE ONLY TOLD THERE WOULD BE A COMMUNITY MEETING TO DISCUSS COMMUNITY EVENTS. OH DID I MENTION IT WAS TO BE HELD DURING MY WORK HOURS.THERE HAVE BEEN COUNTLESS VIOLENT ACTS. THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL FIGHTS IN THE PARKING LOTS. I EVEN WOKE TO THE POLICE KNOCKING SOMEONES DOOR DOWN AT 2AM, ONE LOVELY MORNING. OUR APARTMENT WAS BROKEN INTO AND WE HAVE YET TO HEAR BACK FROM ANY STAFF. NOW THIS IS NO SURPRISE, AS THE TURNOVER RATE IS SO HIGH. I DONT THINK I HAVE BEEN TO THE OFFICE AND EVER SEEN THE SAME PERSON TWICE. JUST A FEW THINGS TO MAKE YOU GO HMMMMM.
