The Crime is Spreading to the Northside

By category Parking: plenty, but not well lit. not really an issue Noise: what you can expect from ANY typical apartment complex. Never heard any fighting OUTDOORS heard some indoors, but then again that's not my business. I raised my voice inside my place too. I play my radio when I clean and understand that kids wanna go outside and play. Again, not really a big issue. GROUNDS: Here's where it starts, just enough to tick you off after a long day at work. I would have to be prepared to swim or wade through mud to get to my apt on days that it would rain or even if the sprinklers went on. Sidewalk from lot to building was very muddy and slippery. This is because there is no grass! I understand that when you live in an apt you luck out on not having yard work, but when its hazardous that is a PROBLEM! Oh and I never even stuck a toe in the pool. It was always filthy. I swear there was a filmy layer of s**t on the water. SAFETY, SAFETY, SAFETY: IF I HAD KNOWN (!) about the crime in this complex I would have left the office on the 1st visit running. Once my apt was broken into a few of the neighbors in the building began telling of there issue with cars and apartments being broken into. They said it was an annual thing. That the same time each year a slew of break-ins would happen. AND MGT DID NOTHING ABOUT BUT COMPLAIN THEMSELVES. They gave us "permission" to add new security features to our place, but of course demanded the key to the new deadbolt and the code for the new alarm! After that I said F-NO we are gone in Aug. I could continue but its pointless. CONSTRUCTION: The building we lived in and all the others seemed to built very well. No foundation cracks or leaning balconies, sturdy stairs. MAINTENANCE: I never had any gigantic problems with my apatments, but all the little stuff that needed doing was done, just not in a very timely manner. My fiancee reported the kitchen light was completely out (no changing the bulb wasnt workin), they came to fix it exactly one WEEK later, now i said CAME to fix, not FIXED (said he needed more tools blah blah blah. Two days later he was able to replace the light. Meanhwhile, I dangerously cooked in the dark. STAFF: Only good for calling in maintenance orders and taking your rent. Very bossy! OVERALL: Not a very good place to live. Carpet is paper thin. Hurt our feet after a long day of standing at work, not something you really wanna come home to if you can even call this place home. To me it was a place where I slept and stored my stuff. SAD!
