Resident 2006 - 2009

4/21/2009

The Mark is a quiet, yet conveniently located community. Although the neighborhood is safe and looks fine on the outside, I don't feel that it is worth the amount charged for rent. The units are older, so (as noted in several other resident reviews) the insulation is poor. The gas and electric charges are incredibly high in the winter and summer, respectively. Some fluctuation is to be expected, as they are larger units but I feel that in some cases the rent should be reduced to reflect the utility cost. The units are just average with older, economy-sized appliances that break down every so often and cracked vanities and bathtubs. When a service request is placed, it takes anywhere from four days to one month for maintenance to arrive, regardless of the problem. They have never actually replaced anything that was broken, only rigged it to work just enough that you can't complain. I usually feel that management forgets about things and can be somewhat disorganized. They are nice for the most part though. They really seem like they want to try but don't really keep up on everything. The community is very accepting of pets, which would be great if there were more pet waste disposal units. There are currently two units on opposite ends of the community which are usually surrounded by waste. I guess people think it's the "dog-walking" area not "disposal" area. About once a year management will put a notice on the doors informing residents to pick up waste but it's not enforced. Or cleaned. The only landscaping that I have seen is the flower beds at the neighborhood entrance. Parking is great if you have a lot of visitors. No passes, no assigned spaces. I am just giving my honest opinion. I have lived in far worse places but I don't think that the amount of rent charged is appropriate for the location and quality.
