Ok, ya the hallways smell and the building could use some work. When you move in bring a rug doctor and a good vacuum because management does not understand what clean really means. If you aren't happy ask for a discount for the time you spent cleaning, you will probably be able to get a deal! But the place cleans up nice, the bathrooms and bedrooms are a good size, all the appliances are adequate, and everyone is friendly. Who cares that there isn't a workout room? There are about 20 great fitness places including anytime fitness, kossama, ferrels, and 24 hr fitness that various prices within 5 miles. I have NEVER had a parking issue I mean sometimes on the weekends I have to walk an extra 10 steps, but I don't think that will kill me. If you have a dog, this place is especially great. Lots of trees to mark ;) and management loves them. I have never heard as much as people talking except for in the halls and who really cares. Definitely not a noisy place. We looked at lots of places and this is about the best you'll do for the money. Not to mention a great porch and a washer and dryer are included! We have had one maintenance issue and it was fixed within the week (put your requests in online). Johnston is a great place to live and we really enjoy Cresent Chase.
