Resident 2008 - 2010

8/17/2010

We blame ourselves for paying what we did for the time we lived at Southwood. The woman at the front desk had something against us and constantly told us to remove plants and flowers from our front entrance. The maintenance guy (Jose) acted like he was our best friend but also had an attitude every time we asked him to help us. Our front door swelled up with moisture because the deck above us was leaking down and we got blamed for not brining it to his attention soon enough. The apartment was dull and out dated and we felt like we lived in a funeral parlor. The apartment is lit with old school yellowish fluorescent lights that flicker and drive you mad. The sinks and bath tubs backed up constantly yet we felt awkward to ask for assistance because the maintenance guy always found some way to make it seem our fault. When we first moved to Southwood there was a different woman at the front desk. The admissions process seemed thorough. The community consisted of small family's and older residence. Just within the past year (and since the new woman runs the place), there has been an influx of loud, dysfunctional people moving into the community. We had a family of 5 move into a one bedroom apartment on the side of us. The kids would throw a basket ball against the paper thin wall (our bedroom) until 1-2am. The mother and father would verbally abuse each other and yell and scream profanities at the kids and each other at ALL hours during day and night. We were paying over $2000/month to live in this environment. We could not wait for our lease to run out with Southwood. We now rent a private house with a backyard were we can have our flowers and vegetables and not have a crazy family on the other side of our bedroom. We pay 200 less per month for an entire house. Southwood is the biggest rip off going. If you are new to town and are looking at Southwood for the convenience... do more research. Don't get wrapped up in one of their rip off leases.
