Built too long ago to be new, these are not luxury apartments by a long shot. I have crazy ants in my place, roaches too, though not rampant. Water pressure comes and goes, and the plumbing still works as it did in the old days--someone flushes a toilet in the complex and you're taking a cold shower.Appliances are from the 1980s, and not energy efficient, nor are the lights, outlets, or water. You'll spend more on energy because of this. Crime must have been an issue at some point because the
...first floor (of only 2 floors) have their patios boarded in by six foot wooden fences painted lead gray, kind of like little prison yards. Landscaping is non-existent (packed dirt is the common theme,) and the trees they do have drop so much sap, detritus, and house so many locusts and other insects that it's all people can do to keep from parking under them to keep their cars from being covered in a mix of bird droppings and leaves and sap.
These apartments are not for living, they're for subsistence. If you have a choice--or if you stop by the complex--you'll move somewhere else, somewhere where you don't have to trade in your dignity for a place to live that you can afford. I, unfortunately, cannot afford $1000 a month for an apartment.
These apartments are cheap--rent-wise, that is. As they should be. It's located central to shops and restaurants, too (of course, I don't sleep, watch DVDs, or clip my toenails in a shop or a restaurant, so I'm not sure location ranks as highly a qualifier as the actual apartment and grounds.) I have no problem with noise, and I have yet to be swallowed by a sinkhole. These things, but especially cheap, keep me here. Management is good, but, when you look at what they have to work with, they're fighting a losing battle. This complex is old and, when you consider how much it would cost to demolish the place and rebuild, you can understand why they persist offering "apartments for living just this side of prison." It's a shame there isn't a proliferation of apartments designed for affordable, conscientious living, instead of the rash of luxury apartments priced far beyond what the average person can afford.
Bottom line, you can exist here. If that's all you want, I'll see you around. If you got a little money, go somewhere that was built this century. You'll thank me; or better still, you could write me a check as a thank you. The amount is up to you.
