Resident 2009 - 2012

I have lived here for 3 years and had like good and bad experiences as well.The rent is true very cheap to pay although it goes up with every year.It is a great place to stay temporally before getting into nicer place or if you are a campus student and trying to get by.It is close to UTA and very well located to both 360 and I20 and a lots of stores surrounded around the complex.Apartments have programs for residents and sometimes some community activities together.The maintenance stuff is generally very friendly and keep area clean although of course some people don't care about it and make it very dirty.The laundry mat is always dirty and a lot of washers are constantly broken as well as dryers,office says they would fix it but it never happens.Last year someone shot the laundry window from the gun during the fight with his/her boyfriend.I saw some drug dealers and wrong people hanging around and lots of teens hanging around at night,making hard to put baby to sleep,only if you walk outside they might leave if you ask them otherwise they don't care about late hours and trouble the nights.I have to say it is hard to get in and out into complex since it is facing cooper,rush hour,you would be waiting for 20 min at least to get onto Cooper.During my 3 years leaving we had numerous door notes with car breaking and burglary.It is horrible in finding parking spots after 6 pm next to your unit.Lots of families who live here poses 3 or 2 cars at least,and we have everyday a hard time to park close to our unit,having only 1 car.Not to say that some people own extra car and dont use it but keep it in the parking space by their window what blocks that spot from using by those people who really need in,very inconsiderate of others.The storage place is very small and if you have a lot of stuff,be sure pay for public storage,because they will give you a fine for extra stuff on your balcony.sometimes it is hard to get office send maintainers to fix problems in your place,i personally walked over there 3 times with one problem and only after my husband called them,in a 3 weeks they finally sent somebody.We had problem with garbage disposal,they changed it by replacing with the old one that does its job even worse than the first one.We switched units and when we moved in the pantry was disgustingly dirty and window in the bedroom dirty from outside with some kind of not washable stains,ac leaking and taking them forever to fix it.Bedrooms very tiny and kitchen,the floor plan makes it very difficult to furnish place by them having mirror in the middle of the room.No washer hook ups and windows being so huge makes it high on electric bills because you blow a lot of air for nothing just to cool or warm the room.In 2 bedroom 1 bath the closets are so tiny and the heater is in the closet that leaves you few inches of room for your clothes.In different floor plans there is no front door closet for shoes that makes you think where you should leave your shoes unless you used to walk in your shoes inside.Very bad light in the living room and no fan.Lots of roaches and ants,pest control comes few times and don't help at all,we had to deal on our own by buying some stuff.The swimming pool is dirty and very small,residents trash it as well.We are looking forward when we will be able to move out to a nicer place although are grateful to stay here until then because of the price.
