I’ve lived here for a little over six months and this is what I’d rate this complex based on what has been observed thus far. If I were only rating these apartments based on the staff, it would be a solid 5/5. They are a very friendly and helpful staff. The office girls are always genuinely concerned with correcting any issues you may address with them and maintenance works hard to fix problems within your apartment as soon as possible. While the staff is friendly, the overall improvements being
...made seem to be poorly prioritized and planned. We’ve been required on three separate days to have pets locked up for contractor and maintenance entry for very random upgrades. Toilet replacement when the toilets show no issues, a newer thermostat in place of an already pretty new thermostat. The toilets replacing the old ones were a different shape and size, so now there is a paint line from when the walls were painted with the old toilets in place and a small section of the vinyl flooring is missing leaving a bare spot on the sub flooring because of the difference in shape between the two toilet bases.The bathroom, laundry area, and kitchen spaces that by code require GFI outlets do not have them. The parking lot is absolutely terrible between the potholes, speed bumps, and awkward hills, it is very hard to stay within the 5 MPH speed limit to leave the complex. The sidewalks in the complex are very inconsistent and random. Many of the sidewalk areas are merely small sections that end abruptly making it very hard to walk your dog or walk around in general. Sure, you can walk around the grassy areas of the apartments but there is a really large issue with that. You must constantly watch where you are stepping because it seems that the majority of dog owners living here refuse to pick up their dogs’ waste. I’ve stepped in dog waste more times than I’d like to think about, and I’ve even seen it left on the ground five feet away from one of the dog stations. I really wish the complex would enforce a fining system for those found to be leaving it on the ground and maybe even have maintenance go around in the mornings to do some groundskeeping. The dog park here is pitiful, one of the main amenities I found appealing and used as a major deciding factor to lease here. It wasn’t constructed and open when I moved in but I was told it wouldn’t be long after. Dog park is disappointing It’s so small that it really only works for dogs under 15 pounds.
