I have been counting down the days until my lease expires for the past 9 months! (17 days left!!) My roommate and I fell in love with Thornbury the first time we visited. The leasing agent seemed really knowledgeable and caring, and made many promises to us in order to get us to lease a 2/2 apartment on the 3rd floor. We weren't able to view the apartment until our move-in day because it "wasn't ready" yet. Upon signing our lease, we discovered the reason for their reluctance to show us the unit. The front door and the door to the master bedroom had apparently been kicked in by some one. Rather than replacing the doors/doorjambs, they resolved the issue with an extremely shoddy repair. Beyond that, we were promised a light fixture or a ceiling fan in the small bedroom and a year later they still have not delivered on that promise. Also, our utility bills have been ridiculous. This includes several months of $60 water bills because my roommate's toilet runs continuously and it takes maintenance weeks to repair it each time. Other complaints: 1) Parking - if you don't have an attached garage or carport, you might as well get used to walking b/c if you get home after 6:30pm you will have to park miles away 2) Security - I've never seen any evidence of a security guard, and the front gate is continually stuck open for days on end. The neighborhood is not safe at all. If you have any doubt about this, hang out in a nearby parking lot and take note of how many arrests HPD make within the span of one hour 3) Noise - Everywhere you look there are numerous unsupervised children and teenagers making all kind of noise. They're at the pool, in the gym, wandering the parking lot/listening to car stereos full blast in the parking lot 4) Mail service - Mail is constantly lost or placed in the wrong box. Do not expect the postal worker to deliver the mail before 7pm, and definitely don't have the nerve to ask her a question. She hates for her long, obnoxious, inappropriate speaker phone conversations to be interrupted by a citizen with a question 5) Trash service - the dumpsters only apparently get emptied once a week, and are always overflowing and disgusting. Bottom line: I wouldn't recommend this place to my worst enemy. If you decide to live here, I hope that your expectations are very low.
