Resident 2011 - 2015

At first sight, this place looked really nice. It's a huge, gated complex, there are a couple little lakes with swans, geese, and ducks, and a pool, hot tub, and workout room. But then I moved in. The very first week of living there, I had an ear wig and centipede problem. They were everywhere! I killed at least 5 a day for about a month before it slowed down. Then came the ants. I'm an extremely clean person so this was in no way due to food scraps or crumbs left on the ground. The ants were the big flying kind so it was really gross. There were also cockroaches and ticks. This lasted all summer with little bouts of ear wigs and centipedes. There was also duck and goose poop everywhere outside. It was like playing hop scotch trying not to step in it. In the winter, there were lots of giant brown recluse spiders, mice and rats. I could barely sleep because I could hear the mice in the wall behind my bed. It made me cringe. I saw several mice inside my apartment running along the walls and I saw a huge rat running across my kitchen counter one morning. Everyday, I would have to clean mice poop off of my kitchen counters and the carpet along the walls. I hated being in my apartment. I actually had to stay in a hotel for a few days just to escape the mice. So there were ear wigs, centipedes, ants, roaches, and ticks all summer, and mice, rats, and giant poisonous spiders all winter. It was only after weeks of myself and several neighbors complaining to management about the mice that they sent maintenance to put a couple sticky pads in our units. This did absolutely nothing because mice are too smart for that. I had to spend my own money on plug ins that emits a frequency mice find annoying. That helped a lot but should have been provided free of charge by management. The toilets take about 3 flushes to actually flush, the water pressure is extremely low, and the water is luke warm. If you are lucky to get any hot water, it only lasts for about 5-10 minutes and then you have to wait a few hours to get any warm water. I had to take my clothes to a laundromat because the washers and dryers they provide smell horrible. My clothes would come out smelling worse than when I had put them in. The pool is very small and always crowded with little kids, the hot tub is always crowded, and the workout room has very little equipment which is out of order most of the time. The women working in the office were always extremely rude to me even though I was always very nice and polite. On one occasion, I went in to ask if it was possible to change units to a top floor because my ground floor unit was broken into and I didn't feel very safe. They said no without any explanation of why and then later I got a call from my landlord giving me a warning of the termination of my tenancy because I supposedly had yelled at the women in the office which I surely did not. I was always very soft spoken. I'm not quite sure why they disliked me so much but they proved to be very unprofessional. Overall, this place was like living in a swamp. I would not recommend anyone renting here. It's such a relief to have moved out!
