Resident 2008 - 2010

I have to agree about the poor 1980s construction and the water shut-off notices. I did not realize when moving into one of the four-story buildings (or "towers" as they are called) that water would be shut off so frequently. The water is shut off each time an individual unit has plumbing worked on. And, with buildings this old, there are quite a few plumbing issues. It's important to note that the water shut-off issues do not effect the smaller detached garden-style buildings. The four-story buildings are also being re-roofed, and this is taking a long time to complete. I'm hoping it gets done before the summer heat hits -- as all of the air conditioning units are on the roof and need to be moved for the project. The garden-style buildings have already been roofed. Fountains is a condo community, so the management is not really there for the individual renter. In general, they are busy and not too friendly. I coined the phrase "T&A" to describe them. Taciturn & Acerbic. And that's on the best of days. If you rent here, you'll be dealing with an individual owner. Your experience will be based on that person's level of honesty, comprehension of basic business ethics and personal understanding of the English language. Hope you get my drift. You could get a great deal on the way in, only to lose your shirt on the way out as you deal with unprofessional behaviour. Or -- what passes for unprofessional behaviour in Western cultures. I will never live here again.
