Resident 2008

1/26/2008

I've lived here since the summer so I'm just gonna go down this list and address everything. Parking - Good, way better then where I used to live. 8 times out of 10, I get a spot right by the stairs of my apartment. If not then I still get one out in front of my building. If it's late at night and everyone's at home, I may have to park along the side of the building. No big deal though. Noise - This place is built cheap. People say 'the walls are thin' and it's 'built out of cardboard' all the time. I never really believed that saying, I thought they were exaggerating, until I lived here. These walls are ridiculously thin. My neighbor has a cheap set of computer speakers in his room, only 150watts, and when he turns them up, you hear everything clear as day on the other side of the wall OUTSIDE in the breezeway. That is unacceptable. If you have picky neighbors that expect total silence all the time, prepare to catch some complaining. Just watching a movie comfortably with my sub halfway up the neighbors upstairs tell me their floor is shaking. This place isn't built for people that like music and movies, odds are high you'll catch a complaint. Grounds - The grounds look pretty good. The gym is awesome, so is the coffee machine (although I wish it was stocked up more). Oh yeah, there's dog crap everywhere. Everywhere. Safety - The door frames should be stronger, maybe braced with metal. A neighbor in another building had there front door, locked with a deadbolt, simply kicked open. Crime here isn't bad, compared to other places. Yes there are occasional break ins, that's why you keep your windows locked and alarm armed. Yeah a guy got shot defending his property, there hasn't been another incident since then. You can't escape crime, this is Charlotte, but crime isn't too big of a concern for me here at Halton Park. Construction - Built cheap. All the door frames in my apartment are crooked. The weather stripping is crappy and light comes in thru the cracks, oh boy does it help to keep that a/c or heater running all the time. You hear everything, everywhere, so if you're a sound ----, you might not like it here. All our plumbing under the sinks wasn't finished so for the first week we had leaks until I realized the guys that did the piping forgot to tighten all of the fittings. Drywall nails are popping the plaster off the wall as the building settles. Maintenance - The maintenance guys are good and seem like they do a good job at keeping this place together and the grounds clean. Staff - The ladies in the office are nice. Most of them do a great job at answering questions and helping out. A couple of them can be pretty stern and come off the wrong way but it isn't there fault, they have to follow the rules. Overall - Not bad, They've been good to me. Halton Park is worth checking out if you're looking for an apartment!
