Let me just say that this is my opinion. Take it or leave it. You don't know me personally or anyone else writing these reviews. No one knows why people have bad experiences while others are good.

This is an apartment complex. There are a lot of kids running around. With kids come noise. It's just a fact to face when living in an apartment. Parents should pay a bit better attention to the younger kids rather than letting them run around unsupervised but that is something that I can't change. I do my part and watch my kids. That is the best I can do.

Before moving in we viewed two different apartments and were able to choose the one that best suited our family. We are close to the pool and clubhouse. Yes the pool is loud. Yes it gets closed on occasion due to parents not following the rules. I have known this to happen in every other complex I have lived in as well. It happens. Management can't sit at the pool and babysit the parents all day. They have a job to do.

Maintenance has always responded quickly and professionally when I had a problem and things were fixed in a timely manner. I have never heard my neighbors below me or to the side. Parking is decent as long as you only have one car. Beyond that you use the guest parking.

The layout of the apartments is great and the size of the bedrooms are nice. On the third floor it can get hot inside during a heat wave but opening doors and windows allows a great breeze. Running my AC for 2 weeks straight only cost me $90 on my monthly power bill which is much less than the last place I lived.

All in all I am happy here. My kids like it and I am not embarrassed to invite my friends over. I really enjoy the fact that I am allowed to place things outside my front door to make it more inviting. It makes it feel more like a home.

If you have an aversion to dogs, kids, cats, cars, other people and any amount of sound then don't move here. However, if you are looking for a place to live and don't mind the sounds of the real world then I think you could be happy here too.

I agree almost completely. The only thing i disagree with is the kids. The running up and down the stairs i'm ok with, after all when i was taht age i did it to i think. The yelling and screaming i'm ok with, kids will be kids after all and they do quiet down shortly after dark most of the time. Bikes hanging out at the bottom of the steps, fine, if they're in my way i'll nudge them over to teh side and walk past them, no big deal. What i absolutely cannot stand is when i am carefully backing out of my parking spot, and some kid who is so short i wouldn't have seen him if i hadn't been paying attention as he is WAY shorter then my car, just runs out behind my moving vechicle and stands there yelling at his friends. It's not just him either, there have been several times this has happened and always a different moronic kid doing it. Seriously, where the heck are their parents? >.< Other then that, everything is actually better then some of the places i've lived in around the Vancouver area.
