Resident 2005 - 2006

6/4/2006

Like many of the other ratings I've seen, most of the ratings for Bristol seem like they've been written by desperate managers. Everything you've read so far is complete crap! This is, without a doubt, one of the worst places one could possibly live. For the price of a mortgage, you get screaming brats from morning until night from Coulon park, especially the play area, which adjoins the east side of the Bristol, 24 hr/day INCREDIBLY LOUD noise from Boeing (yes, they run fork trucks all night long OUTSIDE!), and many stupid residents who think they're "playas", pounding their music outside and inside (If you love being woken up every weekend at three and four in the morning by Escalade and Hummer driving drug addicts, blaring their gangsta rap and congregating in front of your building to get high - this is definately the place for you!), regardless of how many pointless and ineffectual "friendly" reminders the management puts up to ask them to be respectful of other residents. Why, you ask, do they post letters asking, rather than requiring quietness here? Because they cannot keep residents in this godforsaken place! Now, if you haven't read all about the next two years of constuction happening all around the original Bristol units, imagine living twenty feet away from construction on another set of apartments the size of Bristol (phase II)...don't forget about the Galleria that the owner is going to build across the steet as soon as he's done with the apartments...and the hotel right next door(Isn't he just sooooo wonderful???)...All the while, increasing your rent, regardless of the shoddy construction in the apartments that, unless you are completely deaf, will drive you insane. Pray that you do not live below a fat person, a man, a woman who wears high heels, a dog, or anyone, who at anytime, has sex. "Condo constuction" I have learned, means that you get to hear every sound from every apartment around you, and every noise from outside.<br>And about that "security"? Good luck getting someone to answer the phone at the "security" company when there is a problem. The guys that occasional show up to patrol the apartments are awesome if you like to be awakened in the middle of the night because cigarette smoke is pouring into your bedroom from the guard standing below you window smoking. <br>You pretty much have to pay for garage parking here, because the TINY side lot is graveled. Gee, I wonder why they built a tiny gravel lot in rainy Washington????<br>The good news is that they fix whatever breaks in your apartment very quickly, and the women in the office are incredibly nice and friendly - but that ain't worth paying three to five hundred more for the same size apartment 1/2 mile up the lake, is it?
