BIG MISTAKE TO MOVE THERE

From: -Anonymous-
Date posted: 4/5/2008
Years at this apartment: 2003 - 2008
 
Not the place to move! Don't be fooled! This place was great, until the new owners Ken & Amy bought the place. Ken is never around. Amy seems to be the one "in charge" of the property and that is a HUGE mistake! She is unfriendly, a bit psychotic, for sure not a people person and LOVES to wave the fact that she's got lawyers in your face! Be prepared that if you are late on your rent, you will not only have to pay a $50 late fee, but also recieve a 5 day eviction notice on your door. They are desparte for their rent money (they can barely afford the place themselves). They are also accepting SECTION 8 HOUSING (previous owner did NOT)! Nothing against it, but just at least screen the people BEFORE you rent to them!!!!!!! This property which once was a great place to live, now is down hill and not "the place to be!"
Winter time was horrible. If you move here, buy a shovel and some salt! Plowing was the worst it's EVER been!!! Cars kept getting stuck or you had to shovel just to get your car out.
The cabinets are falling apart. Some of the apartments have shower issues with mold behind the tiles so they may cave in. There's mold growing in the basement, probably due to the cracks in the foundation and the water coming in from outside (and yes, they know about it, but have yet to fix the problem, almost a year after buying the property).
Not only is there an ant problem in the summer, but you may still find them in the winter as well, but apparently this is common "every where" per management.
Also, the fitness area that they advertise is not even finished yet! Talk about false advertising!
Many of the current renters are planning on moving out, some are breaking their lease just to get out! Long time renters of 5, 10 and 15 years are leaving. So, if that doesn't tell you sometyhing, I don't know what will!
Please reconsider!
