This apartment complex seems like a good deal when you walk through. They were recently redone and the lay out, I will admit, is very nice. However, it is ikea nice. Everything breaks easily, the floors scratch insanely easily and there is NO AC in the summer. This is because the apartment itself is on a chiller system. That means that cold water flows through pipes of all apartments and that is how cold air is generated. I want to say there are about 8 units so 8 generators. If you are not one of the first 3-4 apartments on this unit then by the time the water in the pipes gets to your apartment, you will barely be getting 79. The apartments are also very poorly insulated and there are no ceiling fans. So the 79 becomes 85 or higher. The downfall is that I you keep your thermostat on 60 in order to get 79 degrees you still get charged for having it on 60. When I approached the management company with this issue, they told me I had signed a chiller agreement and to buy fans. They told me they wouldn't do anything for me. They had such an F you attitude about it that I was hesitant to call them with any other issues. The few times I did politely ask them to come fix a problem it took 2 to 3 weeks. There is also a huge cockroach problem and they acknowledged this ad promised to have people come spray regularly. They have come and sprayed once the entire year. I understand the appeal of this complex. We paid each 648 (my roommate and I) for a 2-1 and it's proximity to campus is desirable. The management company and the lack of any air conditioning as well as the way they set up the water bill (allocated which means you pay a flat rate and then whatever you use because they combine everyone's usage) is completely unfair. The rent his year is going up so for people looking to move in the summer of 2011 beware. You're going to be getting a lot of problems, an awful management company and a cockroach infestation for rent close to 700. Do not live here. Save yourself the stress. I wish I had listened to my realtor who told me they redid the apartments to distract people from all the problems.
