This could be a great place to live - off the main road but close to everything, spacious apartments, somewhat renovated (though the quick paint jobs were rather lousy jobs), but only if you consider yourself lucky.
- The walls are paper thin, so if you're unlucky, you'll end up with the noisy neighbors and forget any peace and quiet, because the office doesn't even bother enforcing their quiet hours (and even if they did, if your neighbor snores, you'll hear it as well as if they were sleeping
...in your room - and I'm half-deaf - imagine what happens when they scream at each other.).
- As mentioned above, the office doesn't enforce their own rules. They don't bother with the night hours, and pay the same attention to "no loitering": so if you're unlucky, your packages will be stolen from the doorstep. No soliciting? They don't care either, so you get to "enjoy" annoying ice cream trucks melodies all day long.
- Communication with the management office is poor. Their best method is leaving a piece of paper on your door handle and sneaking away... good luck reading it if it gets wet. If you call them, they will sound nice and promise to call you back... Well, don't hold your breath. You might as well call them again the next day. And again. And again. But maybe you'll be lucky and you won't have to call them for a week.
- Their portal has issues. Seemingly, a lot of them, because sending multiple statements, sending the water bill out on paper and only weeks later adding it to the portal is a common occurrence. And, by the way, the device you "activate" your account will likely be the only one you can access it from. Very 21st century indeed.
- Community events? "Come have some free food at the office" text an hour before the event starts, and it is just it: free food.
- There are some issues with USPS delivering mail as well - it's not on the office, but it'll affect your standard of living when you have to chase your mail down.
- Oh, and manage your expectations when it comes to the "upgraded fitness center" which is several machines in a closet-sized space, and the "modern clubhouse" is just a backroom of the office.
What's good? The maintenance team. Great communication, responsiveness, and I truly feel sorry for them to suffer the same lack of communication from the office. Space is nice too, and the apartment is bright, and if you complain of any bugs, you'll be put on pest control - so at least they'll taking care of something.
