Resident 2010 - 2011

3/14/2011

Cornhill is an outstanding and vibrant neighborhood to live in - especially in the summertime. These townhomes are nice but not for someone looking for 5 stars. Maintenance and Landscaping is less than desirable. Snow removal is AWFUL. I think they contract out to Mark IV vendors for snow removal and they do not have an in-house crew. Plows come maybe once or twice a day, even in blizzard conditions. Everyone seems to own their own shovel because parking spots, walkways and sidewalks are barely touched. Neighbors all seem to chip in to ensure we can walk into our homes safely. Its a common sight to see someone trying to dig their car out. If you want perfection from a landscaping perspective you should be prepared to clean up your own little lawn area. As the snow melts we are seeing a lot of garbage in our area and especially close to our porch. Maintenance has been in our townhome several time to fix a couple issues upon move in and they have been back numerous times and still things did not work well. The office lady is sweet but extremely forgetful. She barters with you to try to make the best deal - but she gets so carried away that she forgets what she promises. Keep up with requests to her or you will never see them come to fruition. Rent is cheap for the size of the townhome (1450 sq feet). And they accept satellite TV which was a plus - since most do not. Upgrades need to be done for them to even think to charge more. Kitchens need new cabinets and floors and bathrooms desperately need new fixtures and new sinks/cabinets. The decor hasn't been upgraded since they were built so they definitely need an upgrade. with an upgrade they could easily charge hundreds more but some of the rooms feel old and I felt like I had to cover a lot up with decorating. And its time for all of the doors to be upgraded - its not 1980 anymore - lets get rid of the dark fake wood doors. The townhome was painted and new carpets were installed in some areas - cleaned in others which was great. The place was not cleaned well before move in. We had to spend a couple days scrubbing the bathrooms and kitchen before unpacking. Its a great area. You rent here for the area. You do not rent here for conveniences. It seems safe and very quiet and so far the neighbors have been outstanding. If they got on the ball with maintenance and especially grounds maintenance they would have a goldmine. A little upgrading on the inside would do wonders. I would give this place 3 stars. Its not perfection but I am sure it will be a fun place to be for a couple years.
