Resident 2003 - 2006

1/7/2006

Has gone downhill

I have lived here for 3 1/2 years now and cannot wait until my lease is up. When these apts were built, I don't believe they put in any insulation- my highest electric bill has been $170.... and I live in a 600 /- one bedroom apt. When I first moved in my electric was crossed with someone else's - I didn't find this out until one year later. I loved living here for the first two years- the first year no one else lived in my building because it was being finished- nice and quiet. That all changed dramatically once the complex became full. I hear absolutely everything going on around me and sounds I have no idea where there are coming from. My floor shook for about three months over the summer- never did find out why; you hear cabinet doors closing, people walking up the staircase, tv's, I even heard the people below me going to the bathroom. I have to sleep with the bathroom fan on just to drown out the noise (that's only when the fan isn't rattling so much I have to turn it off). As I sit here typing on my computer, I can hear the people below me getting upset- the typing rattles the floor- yes- just typing on my computer. <br>I cannot tell you how many times I have had to park outside of the gates and walked to my apt late at night- not very safe for a single woman. I made several complaints but never heard a response back. My mailbox is clear across the other side of the complex- an error they were supposed to fix. <br>I just got my dishwasher fixed after 5 weeks- it seems that on a "routine property check" a few months back, the "masterkeys" were left in my door- that's where I found them upon coming home from work. Again- not very safe for a single woman. After I figured out what happened I decided to hold onto the keys...... not until I put in a maintenance request did I receive a call (one week later that the request was put in) and Desmond told me that their master key for some reason did not work (a lie) so I needed to bring my keys in or else they would have to re-key my apt. I waited a week and no one came to re-key my apt and my dishwasher remained unfixed. Finally fed up I took the keys in after speaking to the staff and explained what happened. No call back from the manager and I found out from maintenance that the keys I had were the ONLY other keys to my apt. so whatever Desmond told me about his Master key not working was total BS. <br>Planning also wasn't done when they built the back "exit" because it cannot only be used as an "exit." Zoning laws state that there needs to be turning lane if it is going to be used as an entrance- mgm't found this out after the fact- obviously they didn't do their research. So the only entrance is off of the bypass and with all the construction that tends to be a pain in the a** so everyone just hopes the back gate is open or waits there for someone to come out. <br>I've said enough but I defn. would not recommend the Villas to anyone- not if you want to remain sane that is.
