Resident 2007 - 2008

5/16/2008

The Highlands (highland Ave) is a nice area. The apartment community "the highlands" has a nice landscape and nice looking buildings which draws you in to look at an apartment. The apartments were beautiful. Once you move in, everything is all and well until about 3 months. People are constantly slamming the doors especially at 1 am. They fight in the hallways, have their radios playing so loud that you can hear it over your t.v. One review on this page states that there is 25% of people who are on welfare living in the community.. it is now 70%. My boyfriend and I have gotten threatened while living at the highlands. They had threatened our lives (I had a knife pointed at me) and our vehicles. Management did NOTHING. Our apartment door had screwdriver marks from someone trying to break-in. On your lease you have a decision of whether or not you want maintenance to go into your apartment when your not home to fix a problem (unless it was urgent such as a pipe bursting), Management went against our wills and let maintenance go in on several occasions, which had effects on our animals and our property. The first time was with Sears to put new refrigerators in, we did NOT get a notice, the sears workers had put a hole in our bathroom door, all of our food was taken out and left out, our dead-bolt lock was off and our door was unlocked, and we didn't even get a new refrigerator! The second time was with the exterminator, we had gotten a newsletter stating it. They had put down the wrong date and they continued to spray knowing we had 2 kittens. Our kittens had gotten very sick from the spray. The building is still not passing living codes. Just the other night ( 04/10/08 ) a water pipe from the apartment above us busted, the water was comming out of our dining room light. It took maintenance 45 minutes to arrive, he also smelled like beer. The biggest concern we had is the drug evidence in the hallways. There is constantly an aroma of marijuana and we have seen a tourniquet (used by I.V drug abusers) while I was pregnant. Management also did nothing. The property manager simply stated "There's nothing I can do, your better off calling the cops." As stated in the last review, there are very shady people living there. People let there kids jump on the cars in the parking lot and peoples cars have gotten destroyed at night. Also there is no security guard or security cameras. I would not recommend this property to anyone. It is horrible place.
