Resident 2014 - 2015

5/22/2015

I have been living at Wilshire Woods now for exactly one year. This is my first apartment and I moved in with my husband and children, I dont have any major complaints about the apartments. I've have read a lot of the previous reviews and I'm not sure if they have made changes to management or old management just improved their ways. First off let me list what I like. It's very family oriented they have festivities for the kids and teneants on major holidays where they hand out gift cards and have food and drinks. They pretty much let you be and don't intrude as long as your rent is current. I appreciate my privacy so this is a big plus. The apartments are old so they have a bit to be desired, but there very roomy and not quite as small as some places I've seen. I have wooden floors through out the apartment but I know some still have carpet. As far as rodents and insects go, I personally have only seen a couple of water roaches inside due to them coming in from outside, there was an issue last summer with water roaches all over the outside of the complex. That did freak me out and I was scared to go outside at night since I hate roaches. I haven't seen any rats but I know there was an issue by the front of the apartments with rats in the apartments coming in and causing all kinds of issues. But I personally haven't seen any I'm more in toward the middle. I constantly see grounds keepers every day working on the property keeping it up which is nice. I personally was ok with renewing my lease one more year it's very convenient to be close to downtown. The schools are good no problems with the elementary or middle school. The middle school bus drops them off right at the complex so the kids don't have to walk far. Now the bad, I know that this place is all bills paid which is nice but they keep the thermostat locked at a certain tempature making the Texas heat kind of unbearable. I'm on the second floor and it gets really hot in the rooms I had to buy fans to cool off in the summer. I also don't like that when a tenant that I know brought this up there answer was that people have there ac on blast in the winter so there trying to save money. If the apartment is all bills paid then I shouldn't hear about other tenants messing it up for all of us. It should just be what it is all bills paid. As far as the tenants I have heard some yelling and fighting mostly domestic disputes. The parking is a little screwed and I have a parking space kind of far from where I live so it sucks when I have a lot of groceries and stuff to bring up. I like that it's big dog friendly so that's a plus if everyone cleaned up after there dogs, sometimes when it rains the smell of poop rises up and is gross. I hate the artificial wooden floor in my bathroom because it's not meant for that and if the floor gets wet the floor starts to come up. It's hard to not keep the place where everyone showers including children always dry. The dishwasher never worked but I wash by hand so I didn't complain about it. The refrigerator is old but works. The only cable you can get is grande. Other than that it wasn't enough to move somewhere else, like I said the schools are good the location is good and other than the sauna I have to live with in the summer it's an ok place to live.
