Do NOT live here! It is a NIGHTMARE!

I lived here for approximately two years and chose this place because it was a short commute to the hospital where I worked. Looking back, I should have chosen the apartments located closer to the hospital because of better reviews I received from the people I worked with living at other areas. I must say my time living there was a nightmare. The place was extremely noisy and I could hear neighbors' tvs, conversations, music, etc. blasting through the walls. It was very difficult for me to study and I had to wear earplugs 24/7. I could not enjoy the place I was paying $555 a month for. Also, the children who live in the complex would play outside and on numerous occasions they would throw rocks and footballs at the window. The lawn there is caked with dog feces. I remember going to the hospital for work with feces smeared all under my shoes which had tracked into the hospital's elevators and on the inside of the floorboard of my car. Probably the worst part of my experience was waking up one morning and finding a huge dent in the back of my car that was parked in the parking lot. When I signed the lease I was told that the apartment may put up video cameras on the premises, and to my surprise, there were none. So basically someone got away with a hit and run on my parked car. I remember leaving messages for the office to please put up some cameras in case things like this happen again, but nothing was done. There were also numerous times in which roaches would crawl out of the bathtub faucets and spiders would make their homes outside my door. It was really frustrating having to deal with all of the pests. Not to mention the random racoons and armadillos that would jump out of the garbage while I was taking my trash out. The stench of the garbage outside is also overwhelming. The stench is so bad it triggers migraine headaches whenever I would walk to my car. When I moved to my new place now, I had to re-wash all of my clothes because the environment there made my clothes smell like a barn. It was also very frustrating to smell the cigarette smoke seeping through the walls and into my lungs from the neighbors' outside in which I had to continuously run the exhaust fan to remove the odors. The laundry service is also a nightmare. Numerous machines were usually broken and the price to wash and dry a small load of clothes was around $1.25 for washing and $1.25 for drying. Also, the laundry area would be occupied by non-tenants who lived around the area! Also, when you move, don't bother cleaning the place to where it is spotless because you will not get your full deposit. I did some major heavy-duty cleaning and was charged $90 for maid service and $98 for carpet cleaning anyway! When re-signing the lease I was offered to receive a new ceiling fan or carpet cleaning and got nothing. Nada. And when my husband called to talk to the manager about not receiving the promised amenities for resigning the lease she stated that only high traffic areas received them. What? Why weren't we told this before? Moreover, my husband talked to another manager previously about the carpet cleaning fee (and being promised a free carpet cleaning for resigning the lease but not receiving it) and when confronted about the previous conversation, she said she didn't even remember talking to my husband! There are so many negatives from living at this place. I am sure glad to have left. Please, do yourself a favor and find another apartment place to live. There are much more affordable and comfortable apartments out there. Make sure to do your research as well so that you can live in a safe and comfortable environment!
