My favorite part of living here is the grounds. Right next to these beautiful woods with trails for hiking and biking-- great place to photograph deer. Kids sometimes use the woods as a shortcut to the local elementary school.
My least favorite part of living here is the sink drains and the heat. Drains are skinny (or maybe rusty?) and get clogged somewhat easily.
Heat needs to be turned slightly higher to completely heat apartment to the temp on the dial. Sometimes the electric bill is a
...surprise. I put rolled-up towels along the windows and that's keeps the heat in well. Also the heating is somewhat loud, which can be startling if you're a light sleeper.
Other notes:
-No problems with pests, which is a step up from some other local apartments.
-Louann, the apartment manager, is friendly and responsive to problems
-Right on the 40 bus line, convenient
-Easy walk or bike to the Acme / DrugMart plaza
-Not overly loud, but, you know. It's apartments, not the fortress of solitude. I've never had a problem, but I do sometimes wear earplugs when trying to sleep.
-Pool is clean and fun in the summer
-Safe in terms of crime, very low/no crime area
-Slightly less safe in terms of kids who sometimes dart into the parking lot in front of cars. Just about gave me a heart attack.
-Many smoke-free apartment options
-Not many wheelchair accessible apartment options, unfortunately
-Took Covid safety precautions seriously in 2020 w/r/t communal spaces
