My original review was over 3 pages typed, mostly negative things, but because of character limitations, I've summarized below.
In short, **no, I would not recommend living at this property to anyone**.
Pros:
-Good location
-Free uncovered parking
-Outdoor pool with grill on the pool deck
-Spacious apartments
-Unique layout with 1/2 bath available (nice for having guests over)
-In-building laundry in basement (though it is expensive [$1.75 to wash and $1.50 to dry per load] and poorly
...maintained by a third party company)
-Large individual storage cage in basement
-Pets allowed (also a negative since barking dogs are problematic with thin walls and a major problem with people not cleaning up after their dogs in the grassy areas)
-Central air
-Dishwasher
Cons:
-Property is owned/managed by an investment group that seeks to earn money for their investors.
-Poor communication between the management office and residents.
-Super small kitchen relative to the rest of the apartment
-Kitchen cabinets and counters have not been updated since the apartment was built in the late 1960s. Cabinets have a coated paper finish which peels and chips easily.
-Poor maintenance of interior of common spaces and individual apartments
-Maintenance staff regularly request access to upper level apartments to access the roof (with or without calling ahead, since your lease permits them 24/7 access to your apartment without notice, per the lease agreement)
-Maintenance requests take days, weeks, or in some instances months to complete depending on severity and other factors - when in doubt, list it as “high urgency”
-Paper thin walls and doors between apartments and between common hallway and apartment
-Drafty windows and patio/balcony doors, even though they are less than 7 years old
-Limited availability of covered carports and expensive per month ($30/month/covered parking spot at the time of this writing)
-Xfinity is the only available cable/internet provider or prepare to be charged a large fee to have a satellite dish
-Limited choices for renter’s insurance that are acceptable by the management company, per your lease agreement
-The lease agreement itself is approximately 40 pgs. long
-Business center and club house use is limited to management office business hours (no after hours use).
-During COVID-19, cleaning was “increased” for about 1.5 weeks, then stopped all together.
Max of 2. Two pet maximum per apartment home. There is a $200 one-time non-refundable pet fee for 1 pet, with an additional $100 for a 2nd pet. The monthly pet fee is $30 per pet.
