DO NOT JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER. I moved here because I fell in love with this place!!!! The historic design template combined with modern upgrades was the hook. The professionalism of the staff and their commitment to being so convincingly attentive to any concerns. They really got me. After I moved in I realized the hot water temperature was never consistent and there were days and sometimes weeks where hot water DID NOT WORK AT ALL. I am a ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------. In addition, I went away on vacation to Mexico for 2 weeks and when I came back the mice took over. Boxes of cookies and candies were destroyed and mice go into my pantry area. Right before I left for vacation they came in to take care of a small mouse I saw the week prior. Not sure what they actually did because I was at work when they said they came in but I did see a few of those green traps. I also had to replace all the food in my pantry and then bleach everything down for sanitation. I still stayed even after my car was towed twice with the sticker in my car. I even stayed after the dishwasher was broken for over 6 months. I even stayed after going through rent and additional perk charges increasing through too many property management changes. I also stayed because its hell getting my new furniture that could fit in the elevators to getting into my place so I knew it was gonna be twice as much hell to move out all at once. THE HEAD ACHE OF MOVING IS THE WORST!!!!! What caused me to leave was being tired of waiting for things my rent check should have warranted me, like a return call from ------ (Property Manager). Waiting too long for fixed issues. Hot water, Parking, The FAKE Fire Place I couldn't fake it anymore. I was very elated and It was a good way to impress my friends, because lets face it... Alden Park Looks Hot especially with my furniture and taste to add on but its to worth the long term head ache. This place has become a tourist attraction only. BE WISE AND DONT RENT HERE!!!!!! TRUST A ------------- FABULOUS MAN!!!!!!
