Resident 2006 - 2007

1/22/2007

APPEARANCE<br>I will admit that this place looks very nice on the ouside. It is a relatively large apartment with a big kitchen. Overall it is really nice if you ignore the lack of a back gate, crappy carpeting, and the hachneyed paint job.<br><br><br>APARTMENT COMMUNITY AND ATMOSPHERE<br>There are some nice people living here. But for the most part the people here are trashy. At least two drug dealers live in the building to the right of me. Every evening two guys smoke pot out on their patio.<br>The little retarted kids are in the street ALL OF THE TIME. They do not move if a car is coming and they love to stand around this blind corner by the dumpster. Which, coincidentally, is the same corner that people take at forty mph. <br>Most of the neighbors are noisy. The guy in the apartment to the left of me honks his car horn every day at areound 6am becasue he doesn't make his kids go to the car with him and they just sit inside and play video games.(the reason I know is because I complained to management and this is what they told me) When I got up to see who was making all the noise one morning this nut actually got out of his car and started yelling at me. According to him since he has been a tenent for three years that gives him the priveledge to do whatever he wants and because I had only been here for about six months I couldn't say anything about it. He has since stopped honking as much. Now he only does it occasionally.<br>While I am talking about the noise I should mention that people play music at all hours of the night and early morning. And three nuts like to fishtail in the tiny parking lot at two in the morning when the apartments water the grass and the streets get soaked.This is not only dangerous but it is also noisy. <br>I have com to know the individual footsteps of the family that lives above me. When the little kids run around it feels like the ceiling might cave in. They also have some toy that makes this god awful noise whick I can not even begin to describe. WE have asked them to have their kids stop horse playing indorrs and for a while it was ok but not it seems like the little girls are worse than ever. I can hear them vaccuuming. I can hear them talking. I can hear them -------. I can hear everything they do!<br>Speaking of annoying neighbors. Someone has moved in with at least four dogs and does not pick up after them. If you decide to take a stroll look out for piles of feeces that are unbeleivable. I honestly did not think that much ---- could come out of one animal. Once again management proves their uslessness by being unable to stop this.<br><br><br>The parking is horrilble. I live with my grandmother in a two bedroom two bath and they only gave us one parking space! It is the one in front of the front steps to it is too short for her car. Every night we worry about someone hitting my the car. And they need more lighting in the parking area .. especially the visitors parking... which is nearly always full becasue the residents with more than one car have to park there.<br><br><br>MANAGEMENT AND MAINTENANCE ANS SECURITY<br>The management is always friendly... but completely useless.There is an off duty cop as apartment security. But I have never seen him do anythign but boot people out of the gym and pool area. The only other plus I can think of is that they have an option for you to be able to rent a washer and dryer for about $40.00 a month.<br><br>And this may not seem like a big deal but eventually it will drive you crazy... the shower heads are ridiculously low. I am 5'9 and I have to either bend over or lean back to wash my hair.<br><br>The heating and cooling leaves a lot to be desired. Right now it is colder in my apartment than it is outisde. And in the summer the heat was awful.<br><br>Although the management is friendly they are largely uslelss unless your problem is a wall socket on the frits or something like that. They have done nothing about my numerous complaints about the back fences that separate this aprtment from other apartments. The little thugs first bent one bar so they could sqeeze their way through... I complained. They did nothing and a lady was attacked and got her purse stolen. Now the hoodlums have completely removed a bar in the fence for even easier access! Right behind my apartment!!! Which doesn't have a complete fence!!!! <br><br>The architects who remodled must have run out of money before sompleting the fences. If you want privacy, security, or a pen for you dog or kids you have to build it yourself. They also will not supply you with a key to your back door... even though the door has a lock for a key. If you want it.. to say lock behind you when you walk your dog you have to pay for it! <br><br>And if all of this is not bad enough the other day a guy came and tried to get my grandmother to open the door. Claiming to ne there to fix our cable. We do not have cable. I called the call service because it was around ten at night and their exact words were "What do you want me to do about it?".<br><br>Management was also usless when I saw a guy tossing electrinics over ther fence that backs up to another apartment complex and walk off with them. I called them to have them send the security cop over ...but I never saw him show up.<br><br>All in all this aprtment is not worth nearly $1000.00 a month not including utilities. I am so glad our lease is up in a few months. I have found many great apartment with the same space for a lot less money.<br>
