Resident 2014 - 2015

2/8/2015

I have lived here for a year, and will not be renewing my lease because the price is going up $125/mo. This apartment is decent but only worth it if you're paying on the lower end of the rent spectrum. There are definitely better apartments out there for the price they are now charging here. The Pros: washer & dryer in unit. Office staff have been reasonable during my interactions with them. Maintenance is prompt and has always adequately completed work (changing the fluorescent kitchen light, replacing smoke detector battery, spraying for pests, etc.). I like the location. The neighborhood is reasonably quiet (although if you're on the north side, by Carmax, you will often get to listen to their very loud security announcement when anyone crosses their lot after hours). The Cons: Amenities- If you don't get the renovated model, you'll be stuck with old appliances that don't work well. I have doubts about how clean the washer gets my clothes, and the dryer has burnt/ruined several articles of clothing. The dishwasher works so poorly that I choose to hand wash my dishes so that they are actually clean. The windows have some pretty serious air loss. (You can see many tenants put plastic up in the winter to seal the windows). Comfort- The air conditioning is a small wall unit (like you would see at a hotel), and it hardly keeps the living room cool. Despite having ceiling fans, the cool air will not circulate into the bedroom. The heater is also pretty old school. It allows for about a 10 degree temperature variation. So if you have it set at a comfortable 72 degrees it will let it fall to about 67 before kicking on and heating the place to a roasty 77. Also, the furnace is extremely loud when it is going. Overall, I don't love it here, but I don't hate it either.
