I am a single 24 year old teacher, and I really want to love this place. Amazing location, friendly neighborhood, perfect balcony size, super spacious, ridiculously bug infested. I totally agree with the comments about management, however I rarely interact with them because I tend to stay to myself and not reach out for much (When I do, though, Robert is amazing.). I have to schedule for the exterminator to come to my apartment every single week. Every time I go to my kitchen I am in anticipation
...of seeing a roach scurry across. The reason I decided to write this review is because I just woke up from an afternoon nap, went into the kitchen to eat, and literally went to war with ELEVEN roaches!!! Now, they're not the huge, flying ones; they're the small, German ones. But either way, I pay entirely too much money to be cohabitating with roaches. I wish I could attach a picture so you could see how I don't live a dirty/messy lifestyle, but how that doesn't prevent roaches from finding a home with me. In my cabinets, dishwasher, coffee maker- wherever they can find a moist and/or warm environment..found out they can survive off cardboard alone. Shoutout to my cereal boxes.
Moving forward, I have also picked up bed bugs! I thought maybe I brought them back from a vacation or something because the office said no one else has complained of them, but that is absolutely not the case. I have spoken with several of my neighbors who also have bed bugs and don't know where they came from. I saw one of them receiving the heat treatment for their apartment today. Icing on the cake? I am fully responsible for paying for the $700 treatment (I would've fought it, but my signature is on the page where it's spelled out in my lease. Never would've thought that'd be an issue).
If I weren't moving out in 2 months I would absolutely break my lease. I have NEVER lived in a gross environment. I never let the dishes sit in the sink for long, and when they are in the sink, all of the food is rinsed off. Please hear me when I say, it is not worth it to live here. I'm pretty sure I have developed an anxiety disorder in the 15 months I have lived here (it's been so long because bugs are no issue at all in the winter months). Find something that was built correctly from the beginning, rather than an apartment that applied gold spray-paint onto some trash.
