Pros
- This is probably one of the most visually appealing apartment complexes that I have ever seen. The landscaping is top notch and is very appealing. During spring and summer it is gorgeous. Unfortunately, there is always trash scattered everywhere (probably due to lack of trash cans and the vast amount of children playing daily)
- Rent is cheap compared to other complexes in the area.
Cons
- There have been two murders here in the last 1.5 months. The management loves to shift blame and
...say that those involved weren't residents or shouldn't have been there - yet to be a "resident" your name has to be on the lease. However, these people actually were living here, just not officially.
- Noise. Noise. Noise. During the pool months, there is constantly someone blasting music either from a parked car, stereo systems at the pool, or from stereo setups in the grassy areas. And it's not softly-playing Mozart, its usually rap or latino with HEAVY bass that rattles everything within a 40 yard radius.
The walls and floors are paper thin - you can easily hear the neighbors above you literally having a conversation. And if they have a heavy foot, then you'll be hearing their every move. I'm sure that is common with many apartments with neighbors living above, but never quite to this extent.
- Management implements all of these rules, such as requiring wristbands to enter the pool and not parking on the side of the driveway to allow firetrucks/police cars to enter in case of emergencies, yet they're not enforced, which is evident when there are 150 people at the pool on any given day and not an inch of room to enjoy the pool.
- Somehow the water meter at the complex broke and now you don't pay for your water usage, but a percentage of the national average or something ridiculous of that nature). This just occurred within the last few months and many residents probably don't even recognize that the billing has changed because the complex has not notified anyone of the change. Slightly frustrating when your lease states that your paying for the amount of water that you use, but it nearly doubles due to what is probably an illegal business practice.
When my lease runs out in December I will definitely be moving out.
