Resident 2011

5/12/2011

02-2011 It is true that children run around in all neighborhoods, and sometimes I do see parents supervising their children; but at other times the children are outside my window yelling and screaming, banging beats on electrical boxes, throwing footballs and hitting my car, and my favorite standing in the breezeways bouncing basketballs off my wall... imagine the sound of a basketball repetitively hitting your living room wall knocking your pictures down and echoing throughout the breezeways. As far as the gates go, yes the "exit" gate on one side is working, but the young lady in the front office explained to me that the entrance gate was going to cost a great deal of money to fix, and so all though they want to fix it, they can not at this time. I haven't had problems with towing, and I do sometimes see officers wandering through the complex during the day and night. But even with this, I still had to listen to an argument taking place outside of an apartment down the street for an hour and a half, screaming accusations of cheating and molestation. I have witnessed drug deals, seen people race though the parking lot like it is a freeway and I have seen bags of trash in the pond. Though I do understand that the apartment complex can not catch everything and they at least give some effort. The roach problem is horrendous, and it is not necessarily because you are dirty. The leasing office would not allow me to see my apartment until I signed the lease and picked up the keys, assuring me it was just like the model and I would love it. When I walked through the front door carrying my boxes the house was covered in roaches. They roaches literally fell off the ceiling onto my person. I asked for bombs, the complex brought me 2, 2 bombs for an apartment that is 3brm/3bth and approximately 1200 square feet, so totally not enough to do the job. I had to go buy my own and it took 10 bombs in the end. I have spent months and good deal of money trying to rid my home of the roaches. I can finally say they are minimal, but they are not totally gone, the roaches disappear and then come back. But I still see them in the kitchen on a daily basis. I am considering fogging the house again, but I really don't have the money to buy all the foggers at this time. It is very difficult to get things fixed in your apartment. I have met the maintenance men and they seem to be nice and they get the job done most times, but most of the time work orders are never even submitted to them. I can not tell you how many times I have made a request only to find out 2 weeks later that it was never submitted, requested the workorder again and still found out they never wrote it up in the leasing office. To this date that is they have only fixed one thing that I put on the walk through on three months ago. Although most of the issues I had are minor and I can live with them, many times I have simply resorted to doing my own maintenance. All things being said I am satisfied with my apartment. The leasing office seems to be more concerned with getting new tenants than keeping the ones that they already have. The caliber of people, in general, that live in the complex is low class. The roaches are bad, and it is hard to get your maintenance issues taken care of. But the apartments are huge and low cost and they look pretty nice inside. They are worth the price paid and sometimes you just have to put up with other things. All of the above mentioned problems are consistent with other low cost apartment complexes, you get what you pay for. I personally feel that I am getting a good deal at this time.
