Don't Even Think About It!

Lived here for 3 years. Don't know how we did it.<br><br>The office staff, while very pleasant, is quite unhelpful. When we moved in, they accepted all of our packages for us-- which was a nice service. Then, they decided that it was too much trouble and had set "mail hours" to pick up you mail-- genereally 1-2 hours on 6 different days during the week. Most of the weekday hours were at times when I wasn't around-- some people work until later than 5:30! Even if the office was open, they'd not allow my to get my own mail.<br><br>The building is not secure-- anyone can walk right in to the buildings. Its not a huge concern, being in Waukehsa and all, but who knows?<br><br>In the time we lived there, we had several annoying neighbors direectly downstairs. First, it was a group of Indian bachelors that played Indian movies so loud, you felt like they were on your TV. Next was a group of college gals that routinely had loud parties, and ended up getting so drunk that the police were called to break up their drunken fights.<br><br>And last, but not least, was the divorced Dad who stayed up until 2 or 3 in the morning drinking beer and playing classic rock music so loud it was impossible to sleep. We had many drunken run-ins with this character, politely trying to get him to be quieter at night. But sometimes, on a Sunday afternoon, you've got music blasting so loud you can't even watch television in peace.<br><br>Over the three years, we've witnessed Child Protective Services investigate possible case of child neglect. We've seen police called out to deal with domestic violence at 3:00am.<br><br>Complaints to the office about the noise of other residents are ignored. I think the problem here is that they're not very picky about what kind of people they rent to. If they were a little more picky, perhaps they'd keep their good residents.<br><br>It got to the point that I no longer felt safe. I couldn't take out loud neighbor anymore, and there was an incident of violence that took place one night in which some nasty things were screamed through the complex. I made up my mind to break out lease. We paid double rent for a few months-- it was the best money I ever spent.<br><br>When I went in and told them we weren't renewing out lease, they asked, "Why? Is there anything we can do to make you stay?" I explained our situation with the bad neighbor, and they had the nerve to suggest that I move to a different unit in the same complex!<br><br>To those of you who need an apartment, and a cheap one at that-- you don't have to settle for this. Look elsewhere!
