i thought i was getting a steal when they offered me a month's free rent upon signing my lease in summer of 2004. but the utility charges more than offset this! seriously, i could not believe my electricity bill (i was the sole tentant who works 50-60 hours/week plus extensive travel, so i was not home much!). it was absolutely absurd. also, when my lease was up, they increased the rent more than 10 percent which was quite high - for a 1BR, you ought not to pay more than 725/mo. office staff were, generally speaking, pricks. the units themselves are descent; no complaints about the facility. the decks are quite nice. the pool is okay, but the hottub is a cesspool - DO NOT use it! excercise facility is worthless. DO NOT expect your deposit to be fully refunded! So overall, I have not real strong emotions about this place. The actual apartment was nice, but the appliances were horrid. Loacation is so-so, office staff terrible, and the genral community really kept to themselves. Maintence staff was terrific; I give them much credit. But do calculate exceptionally high utilities if you are thinking of living here. At a minimum, it's worth a look if you're interested.
