Resident 2008 - 2009

5/23/2009

We've lived at this apartment for almost a year now, and have almost no bad things to say about it. The living arrangement is very comfortable; the appliances are all in excellent shape, and the building seems well-made (no mice, no extreme heat loss, etc.) The rooms are spacious and we never hear our neighbors, except sometimes we can hear when they turn the shower on. Parking is never a problem, and they're diligent about plowing in the winter. The grounds are gorgeous and well-kept. Maintenance is excellent. They've always responded to requests within a day of our making them, and usually sooner. Both the maintenance and office staff know us and our dog by name, and can even recognize our cars. The office recently started closing on Mondays as well as Sundays, which can be a tad inconvenient, but as long as you remember, you can deal. We're really excited about the dog run they're putting in--that will be great for us! We recently renewed our lease, and the rent only went up $25. I've never felt unsafe, even walking my dog at 10:00 at night. Just a few negatives: --The gym isn't really as nice as it looks. The treadmills are old, and haven't been working properly for several months now. One of the ellipticals doesn't work quite right either. You can't change the channel or turn down the volume on one of the TVs. The weight machine is definitely not ergonomically correct. It's kept quite clean, but the equipment has a lot of problems. --I find the amount of water used to water the lawns to be quite wasteful. I'm pretty sure the sprinklers go on every four hours or so, even when it's raining. The grounds are beautiful, but that's something I'd be willing to sacrifice. I do wish they'd make an effort to be a little more green. --They recently switched to a new system for requesting maintenance and paying rent. It used to be all computerized, but now we have to call to make a request. It also used to allow us to each pay half the rent (i.e. deduct rent from two checking accounts), but it doesn't anymore. Annoying. Overall, though, we've been very happy living here!
