I was robbed in my apartment at gunpoint, and after moving, the apartment manager sent me a bill for the remaining 6 months of the lease. There is no gate/security here. Anyone can walk up to any door of the apartment complex at any time. The complex is near Duke Forest and is therefore not visible from any main road. There is a camera in the parking lot, but it does not work. After being robbed, I moved because the men who held a gun to my head told me they would return. Because there is no
...security to prevent their return, I had to move. The manager(s) of the complex told me they could do nothing and that they would try to lease my apartment so I would not have to pay. I came back two weeks later for my mail, and they still had not even tried to show the apartment. Do not rent here. The employees are awful at customer service.
My apartment constantly smelled like cigarette smoke. This is NOT a non-smoking complex. My downstairs neighbor frequently smoked cigarettes, and I could smell smoke in my apartment constantly. Guests complained about the smell because it was so strong that it smelled as though I smoked in the apartment myself.
My apartment had many maintenance problems that management did not fix. There was a large gap between the door and door frame so air easily flowed in and out of the apartment. The bathtub floor is flat so water stands and collects; water has to be guided into the drain. The water pressure in the kitchen and in the shower were always low. The water in the kitchen sink takes about 2-3 minutes to heat up. The floors are creaky so my downstairs neighbor frequently complained about me "stomping" when I was simply walking around in the apartment.
There is constant construction so the complex is noisy and trashy. The construction workers listen to music loudly all day and of course their tools make loud noises. They also do not clean up their messes. They painted the outside of my door, and they left the painter's tape around the doorframe and doorknob.
In short, you should not live here under any circumstances
