Been living here for a year. just renewed my lease. I'm a medical resident and I work in downtown. commute is ok. I-71 does get congested during rush hour but 15-20min commute, not bad. no pets so no sure but i see dog poop bag stand by the dumpster. i don't have kids so not sure about public schools. i don't really see kids here to be honest. also never been to the pool.
Pros:
-Good value for what it is (pretty happy with the rate they charge for the amount of space and quality of unit
...offered)
-Quiet (walls are thick enough. can still hear next door neighbor if you get close to the adjacent wall but nothing if you're a few ft away)
-Considerate neighbors (in general around my unit. no partying or loud music)
-Management has been consistently good (always calls back and follows through with maintenance issue. they salt the steps promptly though they overdo it)
-Location (close enough to Kroger and pharmacies. not too many restaurants close by but being in the middle of East end and downtown so you can drive to either for food/hang out with friends. Also surrounding neighborhoods are houses, nursing homes, or relatively high end apt complexes. its nice and quiet)
-Police on site (officer lives by the management office i think. I see police car parked. its a same neighborhood so not really necessary though)
Cons:
-can't pay rent online (need to hand check monthly or few months at a time)
-garage is not attached to the unit (but really its not a big deal, its a few seconds walk and can't really complaint since its not that expensive)
-gym is very small. cardio machines and TV do work but no bench or pull up bars.
-unit doesn't come with washer/dryer (so need to rent your own, which could be good since you won't be forced to use old machine that doesn't actually wash or dry. i think i pay 50 bucks per month. definitely cheaper if you bought them yourself and sold them when you move out)
