I have lived here for 6 months now and it is a great place to live.Yes it may be a bit pricy but look at where you live. It is beautiful they accept pets. Office staff and maintenance staff is great. It is very hard to find a good place to live that is cheap. And if it is It is not in a good area. They have the best school on this side of town as well. You would love to live here. No matter the price. The pool is nice size as for the trash compactor it is located in a convenient area. Some people are probrably to lazy to walk to it.
