I lived here for about 3 years, and while there were positives and negatives, I would say I overall do not recommend. It is in a good, central location, most of my neighbors were great, and it always felt like a safe place to live - even when I was
Every single one of my appliances bit the dust at least once over the 3 years, and at one point I had electrical issues that almost started a fire (I was lucky I noticed the outlet and that it was before I had moved my dresser in front of it). The
...washers are okay, but the driers are terrible and literally burnt people's clothes. Also my wall neighbor had sewage issues for months & their apartment smelled TERRIBLE, which meant my apartment had the occasional gross smell. Maintenance did a decent job responding to small requests and were relatively quick on those (except forgetting about my broken refrigerator for several days and all of my food going bad while waiting for them to get back to me), so I won't knock them, and it is likely a management issue of them not wanting to spend money to fix/replace old shoddy stuff.
Despite the free heat, the insulation is TERRIBLE. My bedroom was freezing every winter, and I had to stuff the window with towels just to cut down on some of the draft and make it livable.
Community amenities: They never open the door from the pool to the sundeck, so if you wanted to sunbathe & hit the pool, you'd have to go around the building and through the fitness room to do that. Speaking of the fitness room, it is tiny, severely outdated, and kind of worthless if you want to do more than run on a treadmill. Also, don't let them sell you on the sauna that has been out of order for over a year with no plans of reopening (according to one of the employees). The volleyball court is pretty sad too
I had dead bushes outside of my living room window for 3 years that were a favorite pee spot for every dog in the place. They finally removed them a few months prior to me moving out.
They will also nickel & dime you upon moveout - things "missing" that were there when I locked up and dropped off my keys, cleaning "not done" that had been. An example was charging for a dirty kitchen floor that had been professionally steam cleaned. That is on top of the astronomical move out fees if you leave prior to your lease ending.
