Resident 2002 - 2003

5/19/2004

We decided to buy a house and never rent again after living in this complex. It is a beautiful complex, as are the apartments. Right next to beautiful Matoon Street and walking to downtown. Ours were for the most part hardwood floors, HIGH ceilings a bowed front in the living room and a breathtaking fireplace. Huge deep and tall windows. The kitchen area was large but decor not terribly, err, exciting (actually the cabinets were 20-30 year old particle board that was falling apart.I did in fact love this bright and spacious apartment. Management is friendly and perhaps TOO nice, because calling to complain never got me anywhere. Our neighbors were extremely loud. Our overhead neighbor worked odd hours so from 8-2am we got the home theatre system and stomping. "hey tell me what channel it is so I can at least see the picture!". management was reluctant to do anything. neighbors and their friends would run up and down the fire escapes and children too at odd hours (i have a child myself). Security guards would talk loudly at odd hours w/ people and mostly patrol areas by the management office. The garbage and recycle containers would routinely be overflowing w/ vagrants rummaging through them (yet the security booth was 20-30ft away UNMANED 85% of the time). Children were allowed to ride bikes and scooters through the lots. i have dings on my brand new car from it -grrrrrrr. non residents from surrounding buisinesses would park in our lot routinely leaving no parking for residents. Washers and Dryer were regularly out of service, mostly from vandalism. The basement storage areas, while secure, were a filthy mess of past residents abandoned goods. Despite the police department being TWO BLOCKS AWAY! there would be all sorts of "activites" going on in the area. There are a few halfwway houses in the area. i am not a naive country mouse. I grew up in an urban area almost identical to Springfield and in a complex much like this. I have a HIGH threshold for noise. Maybe I am just too old to live in a complex? lol, i'll be 30 next month!!!
