Keep away!!!! Do not even think of renting a place here!! It is a complete nightmare!!!! Where do I begin???Apartments are just across the Grede foundry which emits toxic fumes and air 24/7. It smells sooooo bad all the time that we would not open windows and balcony door to air the house for days at the time (only when the foundry is closed). Not to mention the obvious health hazards of inhaling such air!! If you do even the basic research, you will realize how unhealthy it is to to be living near such foundry. If that is not bad enough, and you are lucky not to smell the foundry for a couple of hours, you will for sure smell the Applebee's restaurant. There is a train passing by 24/7 as well, so if you are expecting peace and quiet, you need to look elsewhere. Not just that, but you can hear your neighbors walking and talking. In fact, even when you walk around the house, the whole floor shakes! Next, apartments are totally dark, so first think we do when we wake up is turn the lights on. Next, there is no isolation so two minutes after you turn the heating off, the place gets totally cold and the electric bill in the winter time is $ 170 (even though we heat just one room during the day and keep the heat off at nighttime. Minimum cooking as well!). Next, there is a bad smell in the apt that never goes away. Could not figure out what is it - old carpentry, carpets that are as old as the building itself, walls....Hallways are smelly too (of dirt, cats, pets, mold...) and I only witness it being vacuumed once during my 5 month stay there. Next, laundry, which is in the basement is yet another scary story. Completely damp, moldy, horrific air (the storage is there as well, so if you think of storing your stuff there - good luck!). There are only two washers and two dryers for the whole building, out of which only one washer works properly. Air conditioning is from another century, extremely loud (filters and the unit have never been cleaned during its lifetime), never shuts of. On top of that, it is installed in one room, so the rest of the apt is hot in the summer. Balcony is in need of renovation (as is the whole complex), full of rusty nails, old wooden (half-rotten) logs, totally unsafe. Appliances are old as is the bathroom, though that is the least of your worries. Building manager is an old lady with a big attitude. Unpleasant. Not worth the price of $800 for one bedroom. We are completely miserable and cannot wait to move out. Could not find anybody to step into our lease. My friends are renting a two bedroom and two bathroom apt, with central heating, heated garage at West Alice for the same price. Again, go anywhere else in search of the apt but here!!
