There are two apartment complexes at 2412 Alabama. I am writing about the ones owned by Property Management - 2412 Alabama. They are green and brown in color and are on the South Side of the street. They are normally priced at $460 for 2 Bedrooms / 1 Bathroom (http://www.rentinlawrence.com/images/2412_1.jpg) The one pro to these apartments is that they are cheap. But the cons are definitely not worth it. The management/owners are very rude. The staff is cycled all the time and mainly young college students that work there so they have to be retrained every time and it is apparent in their customer service. Maintenance entered my apartment several times without any notice - even after I told them to call me before entering. They would not take me seriously about fixing maintenance problems and I even had to speak to Housing and Credit Counseling and the Better Business Bureau because relations were so horrible. I was stressed out often about the apartment/maintenance and I would not recommend this place to young professionals. I had to resort to writing letters and getting everything on paper. I would spend the extra money and get a nicer pad. The headaches are definitely not worth it. In the past, I only considered how the apartment looked and felt. After this experience, I feel the management is far more important than the apartment itself. I will never rent from them again for all the headaches they caused me. I would advice other tenants to reconsider. They only time you should live here is if you don't care about how you're treated by the staff and if you don't care if maintenance/landlord randomly enters your apartment. My neighbors also had similar problems with the management. I would highly recommend you speak with their current tenants or past tenants and get their opinions. I have many complaints but here's the ones that really irritated me about this place: My sink drain would regurgitate the neighbors food whenever they ran their dishwasher. I told them about it and they never did anything. That is disgusting. Imagine thawing chicken in the sink when that happens. It gets very cold in winter time. The windows are not sealed properly. Say hello to high gas bills. The street and sidewalk was cleared once in the 2009/early 2010 winter. Just once. That is horrible. There were several cars that were stuck for days. The management is rude. They verbally agreed to do specific cleaning before I moved in. That was my first mistake. Always get stuff in writing because this management is very unorganized. My previous landlord spoiled me. I had to argue with the landlord about this and she yelled at me and told me to find another apartment. Apparently she has 20 years of experience (of yelling at people). This incident was after I had paid and before I moved in. They treated me very nice before I gave them the deposit and first month's rent. My neighbors apartment was entered by some random person. Turns out that their locks could have been opened by ANY key. The landlord apparently "fixed" the lock. They never replaced it. Seriously? There is fungus (fungi) / mold in the air vents. You will be wondering when you start smelling it when the season goes from winter to spring. It's disgusting. The walls are thin. I could hear my neighbors doing the nasty. Well, this might be a pro. View it however you like, but not fun to hear it at 2am when you have to be up at 7. Property Management is a joke. DO NOT RENT.
