Despite what they might say, these apartments aren’t luxury. They’re just fine. The appliances function, but not well. The oven, for example, heats up to a temperature nowhere near where it’s set and takes way more time to preheat than the indicator says. (Want to bake at 400°F? Set for 450°F or higher!) Maintenance and landscaping show the priorities of this place are all about getting you in, but not keeping you. The landscaping near the leasing office is great, but our old apartment in the
...back of the complex? The “planter area” outside our building was planted with... unkept grass that was 4 ft high. Along Alm St., there is a firm line near the main entrance where you see the trimming stops becoming a regular priority. When they mulch once a year, 50% is washed away in the next decent rainstorm because they don’t mulch enough and don’t keep up with water drainage. Geez! In one place across from the playground, every time it rains, there is a “mosquito pond” that forms over a blocked drain that sits for weeks. It’s been this way for all of 2019. When something in the playground broke, it took almost 3 months to fix and reopen. Why? There are four office workers to just three maintenance workers responsible for all 350 apartments and all the grounds. So, if you have a maintenance issue, be prepared to wait at least 4 business days for anything that isn’t a major emergency. Then there’s the trash problems. If you care about recycling, you can’t do it here. There are 6 bins for 350 apartments. That’s about 20 bins too few. And the trash compactor, your neighbors will be too stupid or careless to know how to use. People just throw their trash around, never bothering to open the door and put their bags in. The layouts of the apartments work well, but the total package isn’t worth the hassle.
