Resident 2004 - 2008

2/27/2008

I've lived here for four years so far. I chose this place because it is close to the hospital, and appeared clean and fairly well-kept, all of which are true, aside from some minor maintenance complaints (buzzer doesn't work, oven seems decades old and has chronically loose parts, etc.) My major complaint is that it is not a very good value--they raise then rent by $20 every year (rightly presuming many people are too busy to move) even with falling local property values, and the utility fee is often >$100 (recently capped at $90, but the cost is "averaged" with all your neighbors, so you can't save money by conserving heat,etc>). Don't rely on the friendliness of the office staff, given the frequent (at least annual) turnover of the staff...they're friendly until you have a complain, at which point they put on a corporate hat and refers you to "corporate policy". I agree with other posts that the walls are very thin, neighbors often blast music late at night (bad if you're pre or post call), and parking can be very hard to find. A previous post commented that University Bank moved away and you can use their parking lot--they've started a construction site there, so there's no longer that extra lot. I've had my locked bike stolen from inside the doubly locked storage room (the locked to the hallway/entry is easily pushed to the side with a screwdriver). Pro: Close to hospital; maintenance generally fairly responsive; apartments are clean and fairly well kept. Con: Very poor value, Noise, Unflexible corporate culture.
