Yeah, no. Save your time and look somewhere else. Sure, the rent is cheap and the apartments aren’t tiny, but that’s all that’s really good about it.
Cons: I can hear everything my roommate is saying when she’s in her room and I am in mine. Or when she’s in the bathroom. Kitchen. Everywhere. Neighbors are usually quiet and I haven’t had to go down more than once to tell someone I could hear them upstairs. With walls being thin, the hallway smells like weed the majority of the time.
They are
...cheap and lazy when it comes to repairs. Glaze on our bathtub is chipping, I called May 28th and they are not coming to fix it until August 20th....5 days before I have a baby. Probably about 20-25 phone calls have been made and a walk in yet they wait until the last moment to fix it. I doubt they’ll even fix it though, just slap on some paint and wait until I call again a week later because it’ll start chipping again. This is the most frustrating thing because how can you put a newborn in a tub with PAINT floating around!
When summer came, the paint on the ceilings and walls bubbled, pealed, and even just fell off. Not little spots either, spots the size of two feet or more. My roommates was happening above her bed and would come home to find dry paint on her bed all the time. It’s as if you call for maintenance and they only write down ONE of the things you say and ignore the rest.
When it rains a lot, the basement floods so do your laundry elsewhere. Even if doesn’t, still do your laundry elsewhere. The ones they have are TINY and it’s $1.75 to wash, then $1.75 to dry. There’s only two tiny washers and two tiny dryers in the basement of our complex and the dryers have made my comforter smell kinda funky. Just take your clothes to a laundromat down the street or something.
Pros: The surrounding area is quiet. Mostly everyone works and comes home. It’s families and working class people. Rent isn’t that expensive so if you need to save up for a year then maybe. But I think I rather have my sanity and happiness rather than live at a place that never fixes anything so by the time they come to fix one thing, multiple others things have broken/happened, and you’re eventually living somewhere that stresses you out everyday you come home.
