We selected this apartment because of the great schools in the neighborhood, and we've loved that this corner of Springdale and Edinger has so much to offer. We can walk to Vons, 7-11, Hardware store, restaurants, you name it. The floor plan is great, too. There are sliding doors to the front patio and the back patio on the 2 bedroom apartments. The awkward thing is, the 3rd floor apartment back patios are NOT private. So people walk past the back bedroom and my back patio to get to their
...apartments. It's creepy at times. Otherwise, great kitchen and great layout! Very functional floor plan with a lot of light and airflow which is critical because there's no AC.
Having people visit is a pain because there is no close by parking for guests at all. The garages and parking spaces are tiny, like little coffins for your vehicle. Hardly any room to get out of the car without dinging the car next to you or denting a hole in the garage wall. The amenities were originally a reason that we liked the property, but everything is now closed. Rent amounts have not gone down for current tenants. My rent has increased each and every year that I've chosen to renew the lease. Now that the market is down and rents are falling, I was hoping they would offer me a year lease at the new price which is lower than my current rent amount. I was wrong. We're on month to month lease at the same rent price as when the market was good. Meanwhile, prospective new tenants who are reading these reviews will pay like $50 per month less if they sign a lease.
Generally not a lot to encourage resident retention. I think that management banks on the location and layouts to attract new tenants and puts little to no effort to provide service after sale.
