My husband and I chose to live here for a year because the rent was cheap for the area, they allowed our dogs, and we had an apartment with a view of the green space (back of building 12). Our room was not one of the renovated ones and you do get what you pay for but from when we moved in (Aug 2017) to late spring of this year it really wasn't too bad. Around this time the management stopped holding packages for residents, so if the delivery service doesn't leave the package at your door you have
...to go there and pick it up. I had this most often with the post office, which is right down the road, but it adds a day before you can get your package and it gets old really fast. Before this all they had was a package closet that they trusted anyone to go in and grab their package. I had a few things stolen with the old system, but either way management should take some time to make this secure and not an inconvenience for residents. No other apartment I've ever lived at had this problem. At the same time management started all of the "community improvements" that did nothing but interfere with the lives of current residents. It wouldn't have been too bad if management had made more of an effort to not inconvenience us. We had to clear our balcony for them to paint, I had to rush home to let someone put a screen up with no prior notice that my presence was necessary, etc. There was also an issue with the water that took a while to fix, but the largest issue I had was the poor communication. Beware of poorly worded/unclear notices. When it was time for fire extinguisher inspections they sent and email and left a note with a time they had to be dropped off by (or else $75 fine). The note had a date in large letters and a time in smaller font, but that time was 8 am and the office doesn't open until 9 am so if you didn't get your fire extinguisher turned in the day before you were fined. I should have read the note more carefully but I was extremely angry and that was my pipping point with this place. We were going to live here another year because we wanted to save more but we just couldn't stand it. The maintenance staff is nice and we never had any issues with them. I was pleasantly surprised to get some of my deposit back even though they did nickle and dime us a bit.
