    • More Cons Than Pros

      November 15, 2021
      The cons: - ZERO guest parking. There are about 8 street-parking 2-hour only spaces that are always completely full, and the only unassigned spots on premises are for future residents ONLY. You can register a guest's car to use these spots BUT they can only park there from 6:00pm-8:00am - so no guests allowed during the day apparently. [Also if you are unfortunate enough to have one of the garages behind the fire lane, prepare for someone to always be parked there with their hazards on making ...
      it impossible for you to pull into your garage, and you will have to spend the next hour wandering the grounds trying to locate the car owner - hopefully you don't have groceries in hand] - Most of the bedrooms back up to the garages/alleyway, so you'll get to hear people coming and going all hours of the night, chatting or fighting in the parking lot, running their vehicle for over an hour at 1:00am, etc. [You can keep your windows closed, but the apartments are already swelteringly hot as is] - Items in the apartments are either cheaply made or poorly put together. Within my first 3 months of living there the: closet door broke, freezer fan broke, patio screen door broke, bathroom door handle broke off, dishwasher broke (whole thing had to be replaced), kitchen drawer broke, toilet paper holder broke off the wall (this happened twice more after it was "fixed"), and then a month before I was to move out the garbage disposal rusted itself off which completely flooded the under-sink cabinet ruining all my cleaning and grocery supplies. There was also a leak from my bathtub plumbing into the garage below. - The water is shut off at least once a week; seriously problematic if you work from home. Also taking a shower means a constant risk of either scalding your skin off or turning into a human icicle literally every, single, time. - Cockroaches seen in stairwells and garages. One month of free rent is only for new tenants, not extended if you choose to renew your lease. No utilities included. Laundry facilities are small and often had at least 1-2 washing machines down for the count. The pros: - Convenient and safe location (I felt safe going for walks after sunset/early AM, and left my garage door open a few times always to return with everything still there) - The management and maintenance are very communicative and very responsive - Air conditioning in the unit works fantastic ***Bottom line: I would absolutely never live here again
