Living in this apartment was the worst experience ever. The owner/manager Mark is nice until you move in. If you dare call him for any repairs, he treats you as if it is your fault and he is very rude. The apartments are remodeled, but it's shoddy work. The carpet was coming up and the plumbing leaked all the time. I had no hot water in the shower. It was lukewarm at best. The washer and dryer are extremely old and always breaking down. There is only one washer/dryer per building. One time the washer broke and it wasn't fixed for 2 weeks. This apartment is not kid friendly. Children are not allowed to play on the apartment property - Mark said they have to go to the park if they want to play outside. Heat is included, but you can't control the temperature. It is either so hot that you have to open windows in the winter, or it's so cold that you need a space heater. There's only one AC unit in the apartment, so the bedrooms get very hot in the summer. There are ceiling fans in the bedrooms, but they're only good if they're working - I had to have one fixed multiple times due to shoddy wiring. These apartments have cockroaches. I found one in my bed one day, on my pillow! The worst part about living there was the owner/manager - Mark. All of my neighbors complained about him, too. He is mean, greedy and cheap. He is so rude and unapproachable. He gets angry and mean if you call him for anything. I believe that all of the good reviews are written by him - stressing the fact that the apartments are remodeled with granite, etc. The apartments look nice at first glance, but everything is falling apart. The blinds are so cheap that you can't open them without them breaking and falling off. The back steps are slippery and icy in the winter - they take forever to show up and shovel and throw down salt. Some of the neighbors throw their laundry on the balcony railing to dry, so it makes the complex look like a ------. I could go on and on. Wild, loud parties at all hours of the night, trash overflowing in the dumpster, inadequate parking. The rent is affordable, but dealing with Mark is not worth it. Stay away!
