These apartments were taken over by a new management firm a year or so ago.
The "Upside" - The entire complex was cleaned and painted, the units look good. Many problem areas corrected and the parking areas were sealed and new lines painted etc. Looking good.
The "Downside", since they've taken over my rent has increased the last two years in a pretty high manor. I acknowledge it's certainly NOT a 'renter's market' but it has escalated pretty hard considering the economy isn't supporting raises
...yet. Other areas that have fallen down since the change over - the maintenance takes a great deal longer than the previous crew - I've had to call more than 3 times several times in order to get serious issues looked at.
The gym is exactly as the picture depicts, it doesn't depict though that the A/C has been broken all summer without repair and that the gym averages between 84 and 94 degrees in the summer heat. I can only imagine the winter situation since the entire unit is down.
The pool is nice, although the Jacuzzi has also been broken for months and a nice algae grows where the water remains. Not sure why they haven't simply drained it.
The pool bathrooms are often broken with areas closed for use.
The units are fairly generous sized compared to new apartments in the area, although they are outdated. I have 'heard" that they are remodeling units now as they are vacated, and that maintenance is doing it alone, hence the maintenance delays. I have not seen any of the "new units but hear they are fairly nice.
The A/C Heating system is a bit of a headache and often leaks but they have decided to keep them and repair them as needed. My neighbor's above leaked and put water into my wall - they have not done anything about it in the 9 months since the spill and mold is appearing.
The "Gated" entrance/exits rarely work, and over the last 8 months they've been broken more often than not (Generally up to three weeks out of each month and sometimes all month). This explains the often exaggerated traffic and 'visitors' the areas of the complex during the day when few people are around.
Since the new management, the cops have moved out since they aren't given a discount any longer - there was a time when there were 15 or 20 cops living here, those days are long gone.
I won't be staying when my leased expires in November, too many newer, less expensive and safer places in the area.
Overall? "Meh", it's not terrible, but there's more available for less out there.
