I'm giving this complex a good review for being in a convenient and safe location (a police station is next door), and for being the only good apartment complex worth looking at in Jeffersontown. Other apartments are in questionable locations, with equally questionable looking occupants, though they are definitely cheaper.
The Pros:
-Updated kitchens with new cabinetry, and fairly spacious floor plans. The only thing not updated in our apartment unit was the carpet and bathroom, but neither
...were in poor condition.
-Great staff! I have had NO issues whatsoever with management, and feel that they handle tenant issues pretty well. They also provide furnace filters each month to keep your furnace as functional as possible. The front office ladies are very professional and friendly.
-Maintenance comes on time! I've only had to have maintenance out once or twice, and he came in a very reasonable amount of time, and fixed the issues quickly.
-Grounds. We do have two swimming pools for the complex, and although one is visible to the main road, the other is located next to the office, with a tennis court across from it.
-Quiet. This is one of the quietest complexes I have ever lived in. I almost never hear sounds coming through the walls from nearby apartments, although I am on the third floor.
The Cons:
-Certain neighbors. It's an apartment, so you're not going to love every neighbor, but we have only had issues with one specific neighbor, and management seemed understanding and appeared to take the proper steps to handle the situation.
-Quality of the stairs and railings. There are "breezeways" outside rather than indoor hallways, so you run into rust on all of the stairways and also on the balconies. However, just recently they have been redoing the stairs (and some balconies) and re-painting them, so management seems to be aware of the issue.
-Cost. I'm used to paying less than $650 for a 2 bedroom apartment in other states, but apparently it's normal for apartments to cost more in Louisville. I pay $805, and that includes a (more reasonable than most apartments) pet fee of $25 a month.
The only reason I would leave this complex is if the area started to go downhill. I'm always trying to convince friends to move here, as it does seem to be a much nicer apartment complex than most I've looked into in the East Louisville area.
