I almost didn't move in, because of all of the bad reviews on this site. However, I found out that Nottingham Place has been under new management since last summer, and so many things have changed. They are constantly making improvements on the grounds, from fixing the front sign to caring for the plants to repainting the curbs in the parking lot. Several times a week, I see crew members outside picking up trash. Our apartment is roomy and beautiful, and the only time I can hear the neighbors is if the kids are playing outside or the adults are talking loudly in the parking lot. Our car port is well-lit, and we have had no safety problems. Every time we make a maintenance request, it is fixed very quickly. The new management has had a lot of cleaning up to do, because this place seemed to have fallen under some very poor care. In the few months that we have been here, they have fixed the front door, replaced the doorknob twice, fixed the intercom system, reinstalled light fixtures, and that's just in our building alone! In our apartment, we were noticing a strange smell coming from the vents, and there was someone up here every day for a week until the source of the smell was found and taken care of. The ladies in the office are so friendly, and so are the men on the maintenance crew. Included in rent is heat, water, sewer, and trash - everything except electricity (which for us has been around $35 per month). I am proud to invite people to our home, and I highly recommend this as a place for people of all ages to live.
