ItsNotThatBad

Resident 2009 - 2012

7/8/2012

Moving from state to state I've relied quite a bit on apartment reviews so just thought I'd leave a note about our experience at the Mandolin. We lived there for over 3 years and just moved out because we bought our first house. We did extensive research before selecting the Mandolin and found it to be a very convenient location, unique/functional layout with nice styling, well kept, and we happened to get a great deal on the 'concerto' layout. Each time we went to renew our lease the rate increase was significant but we were able to negotiate it down a little and in any case was still well below the going rate. I had no issues with parking since I had the covered spot but my fiance always griped about finding a spot, especially on weekends or getting home late. Other than the parking and airport/highway noise that we got used to, we had a good experience. I was expecting to get hit with a huge bill at move-out based on reviews I had read but was pleasantly surprised that we actually got a small refund! Basically they want you to return it in the same condition as when you moved in and although we had normal wear and tear over 3 years with a dog and cat, we just CLEANED and didn't destroy anything so they seemed satisfied. Only other thing is you can't really control your neighbors, many came and went... wide variety, some families, singles, young, old, ------, whatever... didn't really bother us expect people who don't pick up after their dogs. There are plenty of doggy dump stations throughout and if people would just pick up after their pets I would say they grounds are well above average. Also the crowd at the pool occasionally got a little strange (there are 2 pools but we were closer to the one in the back which was usually pretty empty. Anyway, I liked that this complex wasn't any particular crowd.
