Looking for a rotten place to live' You found it!

After living here for four years and dealing with multiple ownership changes and management changes, this apartment complex has gone from a professionally run and well kept site to a place barely kept together with staples and duct tape. Anything to keep costs down while sitting back and watching the place literally rot from the outside in. Balconies that were supposed to be repaired in 2004 were simply painted and not repaired. Most are structurally unsound and on at least one occasion a tenant had his leg fall through the boards. Other balconies have so much rot that any bird seed starts to grow in the moist, rotting wood. Lovely in the summer I assure you. The pools, an oft quoted "benefit" of living here are never operational and often filthy with algae. As of yet, not even uncovered to get ready for summer even though we're at the end of May. Groundskeeping is a joke. Weeds are everywhere, and any attempt to make the grounds nicer are not kept up and often become weed beds or practice bonsai plants for the inept lawn company that comes to take care of the property. Shingles hang off or come down in every storm and basic repairs that cost very little on the outside of the structure go untouched for years. The laundry areas, while kept fairly clean often have machines that fail to work properly and go unrepaired despite several complaints to the office to repair. Main doorways do not shut properly allowing cold and insects into the apartments. Fire doors leading to the basements are always open to let staff in without using keys. To top it all off, the management in the office is often rude to tenants and can't keep personnel. Most office staff don't even say hello or attempt to fix issues and problems when the arise. And despite having ample apartments to select from, younger, louder kids or groups of kids are placed in apartment buildings with adults and older adults. I'd go on, but I think you get the picture. Spend your rent money elsewhere. I will be after my lease is up this year.

As for my comments below and ratings..parking is never a problem because they can't keep the apartments full. While safe, most of the safety is again, because it's out in the open and there is no landscaping to speak of.

They took out the only "playground" 1 month after I moved in, said it would be replaced, that was 2 years ago

I worked at Mission Hell Hole for about 18 months, TRUST ME you didn't want you kids to play on that thing. It would have taken $12000 to replace it, and with Employee paychecks bouncing that would be an un-needed expance.
