The first thing you should know is that new management has taken over and raised the price of rent for the units, which to be blunt, are not worth anything near the advertised cost.
Pros: Good location, close to stores, access routes, etc. Safe area of town. New management seems to have improved certain aspects of the grounds somewhat. Going back awhile there were a number of undriveable cars randomly parked around the place like some tow yard and these have been removed. They finally got rid
...of most of the wasp and hornet swarms. In general, the place probably looks half decent if you drive through to check it out.
Cons: I laughed when I saw what new management was charging for this place online and via residents who received their renewals once they took over. The 'renovated' units look fine (removed carpet for hardwood floors and new cabinets), but let's be honest; no new amenities were added and they were nothing special to begin with. A 1BR that was $700 a year ago is now $1000...so $300 more a month for new cabinets basically. If they are renovating a unit above, below, or beside yours, have fun listening to closets being ripped out of the walls, non stop hammering, buzz saws, drilling, door slamming, etc. including on Saturday morning and Sunday afternoons for months on end. You'll hear your neighbor's every step on the hardwood floors when they are done, so if you aren't into that sort of thing, be aware.
Other construction noise has been non-stop since April. First the jackhammers in the parking lot during the paving project, then the renovators drilling away on Sunday afternoon. Now, I am writing this at 8:30 am on a Saturday having been awaken earlier by the sounds of hammers pounding away outside of the building. Amenities are lacking for the price. No laundry in the units, there are only two machines in the building (one of which is usually not working properly), and the pool is closed for the summer just to name a few.
Summary: They are raising prices through the roof but are not affording any new benefits to residents in turn. If you are a prospective resident, please be aware that you will be paying around 40% more a month than what the person who just moved out of your unit was paying for the sake of new cabinets and not having to vacuum. Many of the recent changes have only lead to more noise and irritation both inside and outside the buildings. In sum, I cannot recommend this place in good faith.
