The rent at Crossroads Apartments is cheap and the only utility you pay for is electricity which is great. If you're looking for a cheap place to live, I recommend Crossroads apartments. The location is convenient since it's close to US-131.
However, that's where the "pros” end. My apartment had a dishwasher but I gave up on using it since it didn't get my dishes clean and I ended up doing my dishes by hand. The apartments don't have central AC but have in the wall mounted AC units. I was able
...to cool down the living room but the air did not circulate which made the bedroom hot. In the winter, the heat was turned up way too high which resulted in me often having the windows open in January since there’s no way to control the heat. The hallways smell like smoke and, every time I went in the hallway, I got a big whiff of smoke.
Maintenance is the worst part of living there. The apartments don't have a washer or dryer so the laundry facilities are located on the ground floor of the building. My building had three washers and four dryers but it was a miracle if they were all working at any given time. There was a long time where only two of the dryers worked. I called maintenance to inform them of the situation and they said they don’t handle the laundry facilities but that they said they would let the manager know. It was still months before the dryer worked again. At least one of the lights in the hallway of the building was usually out meaning that, at night, it got very dark. The lights in the hallways often flickered.
The worst part of the maintenance is that they've never heard the words "snow removal." There were times when I had to shovel my car out of and drive through 12 inches of snow to leave the parking lot. The sidewalks were never shoveled or iced and I took a couple big falls on the ice as a result.
The neighbors across the hall from me were obnoxious. This isn't something the apartment complex can control but people in my building called the cops on them several times because of loud fights. They had a tendency to blast their music on full volume at all hours of the night. Also, the apartment I lived in was close to 44th Street. I realize that this may be different depending on which building in the complex you live in but there are at least six buildings in the complex where you could deal with quite a bit of road noise.
