Crane Village Apartments: Terrible Experience (Not Recommending)

2009-06-29T13:31:14-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I will start by saying that you should explore every other possible option before deciding to live here. The apartments are incredibly over-priced for what you actually get.

2007-01-14T18:47:26-06:00

From -Anonymous-: When I moved in here, the rental office put me through the ringer with credit checks, etc. It is apparently no longer that way.
