Resident 2011 - 2012

2/27/2012

Unfortunately we came across this place from out of state, so we had no idea about the part of town or what this place really looked like apart from online. It is not easy to feel safe here. There is no security or police living in residence. The several times I have had to call for help by way of the main office line, the security person has called me back from a different apartment complex and has stated they will be there shortly. There was at least one shooting that I was awake during, around New Years and the office was VERY blase about it. When I asked, the girl said "Which one are you speaking of?" Like, HELLO???? There were MORE??? Ugh. There was also a string of thievery in August where several people's cars were broken into and one person's car was found on cinder blocks with all 4 WHEELS taken!! Also, you have to BEG them to replace the outside lights!! God forbid you work late or even after 5 in the winter when it gets dark way earlier, you won't be able to see your way to your apartment or whether someone is waiting for you. My particular apartment was ridiculous when I moved in, chipped wall corners, nasty mold in the bathroom and a leak in the roof and on the middle of the adjacent wall, which resulted in MOLD. Not to mention a dishwasher that they REPEATEDLY sent a maintenance man out for NEVER worked, and never offered to replace it. Dishes come out worse than when they went in. We had to do them by hand for the year we have been here with a dishwasher sitting right beside us. Also, you should consider yourself lucky if you have screens on your windows or sliding glass doors. Very minimal closet space - 1 closet in the bedroom and a tiny one you can't step into in the hall way, so don't plan on having a place for your linens. No shelving in the laundry room which is outside on your deck. Anytime you complain of your LOUD NEIGHBORS (since you can practically hear them talking through the walls) especially of the ones who think it's appropriate to play their bass on an amplifier at 12 am - 4:30 am, or of the ones facing the pool (and God forbid you get one of these apartments as the noise level is DISGUSTING) and you get to live by the neighbors who from the first floor have access from their balcony to the grounds and LOVE to be on their balcony 24/7 drinking and yelling and partying on weeknights, don't think that after 3 or 4 times of calling security or EVEN THE POLICE on them, that this will get them a stern talking-to (or SUPPOSEDLY kicked out as is stated in the lease!) And then, after all the issues with the bathroom, the a/c units, the ceiling leaking, the mold growing and them basically just painting over it, they want to raise my rent to 650 a month for a 1 bed 1 bath 800 sq ft apartment? HELL no. I'm out of here after only a year, and not soon enough!
