Resident 2002 - 2004

Good spot

I´ve lived here for about 18 months and will probably be moving soon. I like this place alot and would definitely recommend it. My reasons for moving are simply limitations of the complex that have nothing to do with the management or the apartment itself. <br> <br>Advantages: <br>1. Complex is small but very nicely maintained and managed. Pool area is attractive. <br>2. Good value for the money. I upgraded last year and got a better deal overall. Management has gone out of their way to offer nice incentives. <br>3. Management is pretty responsive to questions, concerns, etc. I had a significant issue with my first apartment (which could have been minimized if I had known better), but they didn´t put the blame on me and in fact made it very easy to switch apartments. <br>4. Washer/dryer in the unit, enclosed private garage, and balcony are nice amenities. <br>5. Location is pretty convenient to shopping, theaters, and freeway access. <br> <br>Disadvantages <br>1. Immediate neighborhood is horrible. I was embarrassed to invite people over. There´s a rundown house across the street with chickens wandering in the front yard! When I first visited the place, I told myself no way once I saw the neighborhood. I actually drove all the way to the office to turn around and leave, but ended up liking the look of the complex itself and stopped to check it out. <br>2. Freeway side can be noisy at times; the other side is probably noisy next to the industrial businesses (I took the lesser of two evils and chose the freeway). <br>3. Parking can sometimes be hard to find. I would not park on the street outside the gate. The place is not designed for large trucks, vans, SUVs or RVs. <br>4. This is probably my biggest issue: cable, phone and DSL go through a Southern-Cal company that can be a real pain. They seem to have two personalities, one which is pretty friendly and helpful, the other which is rude and nonresponsive. Once I was told the technician was coming at 1 pm, so I left work early to wait for him. When he didn´t show up, I called and found out he showed at 11 am but I wasn´t there. Nobody bothered to call me to ask where I was (I work 5 min away, so it would have been easy to come home). Another time I set up an apptmt and called when he didn´t show, only to be told my apptmt was never scheduled. They actually told me I was not telling the truth about the apptmt! My dsl has also been very temperamental. The main issue I have is that there´s no real choice. You´re stuck with this provider unless you want to pay a lot of extra money to SBC or whoever. I need a reliable dsl connection, so this is one of the reasons I´m moving. If you just need casual internet service, it will probably be fine. <br> <br>All in all, my experience has been very positive and I would recommend this place.
