Park at Arlington Ridge: Too good to be true (Not Recommending)

2009-12-07T11:51:54-06:00

From dmcboy1der: I moved into the Park in January of 2008. The 2 months of no rent and relatively low rent were great incentives. The unit had a strange odor when we viewed it, which we mentioned.

From -Anonymous-: Societal problem in general- don't lie to me by saying it's luxury just because you put in a new stove, a few track lights and some paint. spin and marketing do not work.

From jmhumr: As a tenant since the Park opened, here are my thoughts...OVERALLDefinitely worth considering for the commute convenience and low-stress neighborhood.
