Resident 2012 - 2014

UPDATE 2/27/14 1 year after this review we are STILL HAPPY and are renewing our lease for a second time! This is going to be a longer review...but I am trying to give as much info as possible. If you are looking to move here, check out all of the different apartments they have available. Some are renovated, some are not. Some overlook the parking lot, others overlook the lake. Our apartment is NOT renovated but we love it. I did not feel like paying an extra $100 a month for better looking cabinets and black appliances. Ours overlooks the lake, and its wonderful during nice weather. Ours is also near the rental office...the further away from the Rental Office the more kids/younger people there are. The kind of people living near you depends on where in the entire complex you are. All of our neighbors are very friendly, we have not had a single problem with anyone we lived near in the last year, but again we live right across from the rental office. CONS... -Shoosmith is less than a mile away and you CAN smell it sometimes (only in the summer). But honestly I am able to smell it maybe 2-3 days a month, and the smell is not that bad. -YES the geese and gulls are obnoxious (noise & poop). I think the swans (there's only 2), and ducks are nice. The complex is on a lake so you really can't expect there not to be waterfowl. I have never been chased or attacked as other reviews suggest, and have gone to feed them our stale bread before. -The occasional silverfish/tiny spider/earwig (these are the ONLY bugs we see). We maybe see 1 insect a month? The spiders maybe a little more frequently but they are tiny and don't bother anyone. -The lake is gross with trash but I can't see it from my balcony or window. You only really notice when you get up close to the lake and near areas where water from gutters drains into the lake. PROS... -Living 1 minute from Martins, Walmart, and American Family is awesome. -Discounts are given to county employees (cops, firefighters, etc.), so I always feel safe. There is ALWAYS a cop car nearby. -Closet space including our pantry and patio, we have 7 closets. -There s a fitness center, pool in the summer, tennis courts, playground, and ample space to run in the Arbor Landing community. -Maintenance is quick and good. Office staff are friendly. -Even though our rent has gone up, it's still fairly cheaper compared to other apartments in the same area -There is ample parking, and the spaces are huge so I dont worry about my car getting dinged up. -The grounds are kept up nicely. -Diverse community (every race, gender, ethnicity, and age you can think of). In Summary We have only lived here a year. We are renewing our lease. We deal with the imperfections, but they are only imperfections and not a reason to be upset or move away. All the good outweighs the little bit of bad. We really do love it here!
