Resident ā€¢ 2014 - 2015

7/13/2015

I lived here for a year from 2014-2015. Let me begin by saying the apartments themselves are not the worst around. I had a one bedroom, and it was pretty spacious and had lots of storage in it. The things that make this apartment not so decent: the other people who live there, for one. In my building there were people across the hall who consistently smoked weed, and based on all the door slamming at all hours, I think they were dealing drugs as well. There were also large families who let their kids run around in the hallways and the parking lots, and would clog up the high efficiency washing machines with powder detergent, despite the signs saying LIQUID only.I reported this to management, but nothing was ever done. Some maintenance issues were taken care of quickly, for instance when my furnace died when it was -20 degrees out, but other issues, like a broken shelf in my refrigerator, were fixed literally never. When I moved in, they had put in new carpet, but didn't vacuum it after. They laid new vinyl in the bathroom/kitchen, but before I even moved out it was starting to peel up. My sink in the bathroom and bathtub were both clogged upon my first use of them, and the kitchen shelves were dirty, so it obviously wasn't cleaned before my move-in. A lot of outdated closet fixtures/doors as well. If you are in an "updated" unit, you'll pay accordingly.You will be nickel-and-dimed for EVERYTHING, including electric and gas, as well as something called an "eco fee," which supposedly is for water/sewer. The apartments are not very heat/air efficient, so for a one bedroom apartment, my bill was always extremely high. The parking can be an issue if you get home after 8 pm, and good luck getting a garage. I was on the wait list the entire time I lived there. No one picks up after their animals, so be careful walking across the grass in sandals. Finally, the best of luck getting your deposit back after you leave. I have been moved out of this apartment for almost 7 weeks and still haven't gotten it. After complaining SEVERAL times, they informed me the check had been issued a month after I moved out, and sent to the wrong address. I don't even know where they GOT the address that it was sent to. It wasn't even in the same city as the forwarding info I gave them. So I'm STILL trying to get my deposit back. Overall, I'd say if this is your only option, go ahead. If you have other options, I'd go with those.
