We found this complex and moved into it in desperation. We had no where else to go and they offered a move in deal that they knew no one could refuse!

When we moved in, we were given a packet to warn us of the possible mold on the windows. They neglected to tell us that it would also smell of mold throughout the bathrooms, under the carpet in my kids' rooms, and that it would grow up the walls, too. This was NOT (contrary to the belief of other posters here) from a messy or unkept home. This was because of crappy windows an the lack of any type of storm insulation, and the poorly installed dryer in the laundry area of the apartment that created an indoor rain forest throughout the apartment whenever you used it. Even in summer, water accumulated on windows and sills when the laundry was being done.

Even with constant bleaching and cleaning of all the windows, the mold that grew in our apartment was enough to have two of my children end up on inhalers and in one instance, my son woke up at 3am with blue lips and no air getting into him. A trip to the ER and some seriously quick action took care of him, but the question of mold in our place was the first out of the doctor and nurses mouths.

Our first set of neighborly problems had to do with naughty teens doing anything they pleased as the mother of the household worked graveyard. This included screaming in the hot tub area, which echoed throughout the courtyard in the middle of the night. There was marijuana use with nearly every neighbor we had move near us, and it could be smelled through the walls - it's the only way I can describe it. Somehow, the ventilation for bathrooms is connected in someway to neighboring apartments, especially between upstairs and downstairs neighbors. After several complaints from us and other neighbors, the residents in that apartment were evicted.

Our next concern came with another close neighbor who did not get evicted until his friends did thousands of dollars in damage to the sprinkler systems, playgrounds, and other areas of the apartments, vandalized the pool area and ruined the use of the pool and hot tub out front for several days due to misuse of bubble bath and of the area in general. That same neighbor also used/dealt drugs from his apartment and it took TWO fires INSIDE his apartment to finally see him leaving!

While I was pregnant, I tripped and fell on a raised/damaged piece of sidewalk near my building and ended up spending a few days in the hospital!! This was reported and nothing was ever done about that crack. My children have fallen at the same spot as well. When we told the management, they asked if we could walk around it!!! Sure, I'll stomp my kids through the mud so we can hurry in and ruin your precious carpets!!

Our car was vandalized and "sorry" was all that could be said about it.

The mailboxes were constantly getting broken into - especially the large boxes that open with a key when you receive a package!

Newer neighbors have been seen doing naughty things in their cars, and I witnessed, personally, the preparing and distributing of drugs in the parking lot near my building. The newer tenant who was doing so, even lit up a joint AS the security car drove past. Another newer neighbor was able to slip past the supposedly strict background check with a felony arrest and pending charge in Portland - only to reside here shortly and end up arrested again for serious domestic abuse charges.

The issue of having only the one compactor wasn't such a horrid idea to me at first, until I saw the lack of caring for how it looked and how people treated that area. Then to top it off, management made it clear that garbage was not to be set on your deck/patio area or your front door/porch area. How exactly do they expect you to, with a family filled apartment home, stop what you are doing each time a bag of garbage is full and walk the entire complex to deliver it to the trash' Ridiculous.

These apartments and their ever changing staff have a horrible past and I see no change for the future without some serious reconstruction and major improvements done to make them more livable.

From plumbing problems to a constantly broken dishwasher, backed up drains and garbage disposal issues, moldy smells and growth problems, parking issues and lax security and care for resident safety - these apartments have far more than a little improving to do!

I highly suggest you steer clear of the place and find another, more tolerable place to live!!

Yeah this is the worst apartment complex ever....not only that wait if you're dumb enough to live here just wait until you try to leave. You can clean the apartment top to bottom and they'll find some way, some excuse to over charge you on top of what your deposit covers. The Managers there are absolute crooks....
