Hidden costs and Snow removal sucks
January 20, 2019 - Reseña de Apartments.com
Snow removal is very bad. My visitors often complain that they fear getting stuck. I have a feeling that management thinks everyone drives an SUV. In fact most residents here do not. Passenger cars have a tough time making it through the main private road. The snow plow used to remove the snow is a small to medium size pickup truck which is barely adequate for driveway plowing.

Unlike other townhouse complexes water is not free. Be prepared to spend a minimum of $28 per month for your water bill. For a family of 3 or 4 expect to pay much more for water.
Mail is not delivered directly to your townhouse but rather to a centrally located common area with a row of mailboxes. This can be very inconvenient if you don't go in and out every day. Drive up access to the mailboxes in the winter is difficult due to aforementioned poor snow removal. You usually need to get out of the car.

The rooms in the 1072 sq. ft. ranch townhomes are quite small.
The rent for this part of Monroe County (Gates) is higher than usual. The rent is more representative of rent you'd expect to pay in Brighton or Pittsford. Not blue collar Gates.
On the plus side, the townhouses are insulated very well which helps keep heating and air conditioning costs in check. Yes, you must pay for both electricity and natural gas.

We are sorry you are unsatisfied with the snow removal during the recent winter storm. We accumulated 16.5” of snow over short time period. Our snow removal contractor came out several times during that time period and even after the snow stopped falling to clear areas of the community that were previously parked in and unable to be plowed. Our contractors worked very diligently to help throughout the winter storm.
