Resident 2012

6/5/2012

I have been here for almost a year now and i cant wait until my lease is up. Everything said in the previous review has been my experience as well. However i have a few things to add. First, i have seen 3 different managers work their way through the office. Each one promising that they are here to correct the behavior of the last, yet each fall into the same pattern of run around behavior as the ones prior. This time, i was hopeful because they actually replaced the miserable maintenance guys and assured me that repairs would be made promptly and correctly. There have been multiple items i have requested repair for over the past six months and although they are minor issues, they still deserve a timely response. After patiently waiting 2-3 weeks for a work order to be addressed, i call in only to find that the work order has been closed, yet the situation was never corrected. The evaporative cooler works at half the quality it should and it is suggested that you keep a door or window cracked to create a decent airflow, yet i cant get them to fix the screen on the sliding door that is constantly coming off track so i can keep the flies out. The apartments are inclusive of all utilities which is a good thing considering you will have to run the dryer for 3 hours per load to get anything dry and run the dishwasher at least twice to get the dishes clean. Its nice that they come with a clothes line in the spacious back yard, one of the things i was excited about when i moved in here since i love to hang dry my clothes, but my line was ran with rope instead of a standard wire line and the rope was tattered and torn, so i havent been able to use it. One of the many things i have asked to be repaired but have been asked by maintenance and management "dont you have a dryer? Why do you need a clothesline?" I refer you back to the 3 hours to dry one load comment, not to mention, i LIKE hanging my clothes out. There is some rather annoying backdoor activity in several areas. I have seen over 10 people pile out of a 2 bedroom apartment on a regular basis...obviously they all live there. There are several pit bulls in the complex and cleanup is not enforced, so you can smell most yards that contain dogs dur to the lack of owner responsibility, which makes for a welcoming swarm of flies everytime you go outside if youre lucky enough to live next door to one of these said pet owners. Although spacious and a very decent price, the nonsense that has to be dealt with on a regular basis is not worth the price. I expect that the management is more than willing to take care of many of the issues but their hands are tied by the property owners MLB. Im sure this is one of their lower priorty properties and so funds, time, and attention are distributed accordingly. Its a shame, because the location is great, size is wonderful, ameneties included (yard, w/d, etc) are awesome, but i suppose thats what they offer to make up for the lack of everything else. A shame.
