I originally chose this complex because of the fireplace. I didn't choose other complexes that were nicer specifically because of that fireplace, and I know many other residents did the same. However, a while ago the company decided that they would no longer allow the residents to use the fireplaces.
Our window leaks during rainstorms. The hardware on the cabinet hinges is made of cheap plastic that is breaking one by one. There is something wrong with the wiring for the lighting; the bulbs in
...the kitchen and bathroom were replaced multiple times and within a month they are burned out again. The shower handle keeps coming off. The shower curtain rod is not the right length and keeps falling down. The garbage disposal is pathetically cheap and keeps breaking. Within any given few months of living here, I file more maintenance requests than I did over a few years of living elsewhere. The maintenance team is, however, very competent and friendly, and the poor construction quality is not at all their fault.
If you have an exercise routine that is important to you and you think that living here will save you a gym membership, think again. The exercise room is CONSTANTLY being closed. Whenever there is a problem with the pool, the after hours access to the fitness center is not available. This summer the pool had to be closed several times for cleaning with fitness access only during workday hours.
The HVAC system in the apartments is bad if there are smokers in your building. Every time we turn on the air conditioner our apartment is inundated with horrible-smelling cigarette smoke.
They have "valet trash" which they charge $35 a month for on top of the already expensive rent. There are a lot of rules about what the company will not pick up. Often because of this I end up having to take out my trash myself, and the only dumpster is all the way across the complex so I have to drag the heavy bags all over the parking lot. And you may only have your trash can outside your door between 6 pm and 9 am, or they'll fine you $50, NO EXCEPTIONS. What about the people who need to work late/evenings?
Another rule is that you are limited to one car per resident. There was plenty of parking before they put this rule in place, so I'm not sure why it's needed.
So if you like to exercise regularly, are a non-smoker, work evenings, don't like having maintenance in your apartment constantly, or have more than one car, I would suggest looking elsewhere.
