The Townhouses are cute, and cheap for the Huntsville area. I have lived here almost two years, and over the last year it has been in a steady and rapid decline, plus I can foresee the rent skyrocketing to prices that mean you should look for a better place. My rent spiked over almost $200 in just a year, while nothing was improved and the neighborhood got increasingly worse. Including a leak in the main waterline which lead to flooded parking lots and grassy areas, potholes, and shootings in
...the surrounding neighborhoods that are managed by the same company.
Management is not helpful and maintenance is severely lacking. Less than a week after moving in, my kitchen flooded because the AC drip pan was over flowing. Maintenance tried to tell me my floors were "floated in, and that is residual water from that process"- seriously.
Then my apartment was infested with German Cockroaches and I had to call the office everyday and send pictures of the insects in every corner nook and cranny of the apartment, just to get them to send the pest control company in.
Currently I am having to call the office every day to see if they have bothered to check out the air conditioning that is not cooling the upper floor. I reported it to maintenance more than 10 days ago. 10 very hot days ago.
When I did get the property manager on the line, she told me that the upper level is 85 degrees because "heat rises and that is just normal". I have lived in townhouses for 10+ years and I have never had issues like this before, in fact even last year I didn't have this issues in this exact same townhouse. SO I know this is not normal.
I mentioned I think there could be a rodent in the AC duct work, because I can hear it scurrying around, pest control came out the next day, but said he could not look into the duct work
All of this on top of the "normal apartment life woes" - like loud neighbors and people not cleaning up after themselves or their pets. It is honestly too many problems for far too much money.
All in all, I think it is clear I will not be signing another lease here, and I strongly advise anyone who thinks they might to look closely at the reviews and the neighborhood before you do.
