It's a nice place to live
April 20, 2020 - Review from Apartments.com
We lived here for 2 years. It is an older place with older appliances so it's not entirely energy efficient but they're updating when things need to be replaced.
The rent included trash/sewer, water, and heating oil, we paid for electricity, phone, and internet. We had a dog, there was a pet fee and a portion of it is refundable. It was spacious with lots of storage spaces for the amount we were paying, compared to other places nearby. The rent does change all the time depending on specials they ...
may be having so don't be surprised if you find out after you sign the lease that the rent is cheaper.
The office staff and maintenance staff were always friendly. There are few options to pay your rent, a rent mail slot, an online option and in person. When something broke, we reported it right away and they fixed it timely.
There are little playgrounds everywhere for the kids, dog bag stations, and sidewalks that go around the entire complex. There is also a dog park but lots of poops though since not everyone picked up after their dog. They also have a gardening area where you can grow your veggies if you're inclined.
Our street was nice and quiet. The complex is near all the shops and restaurants.
Issues:
You have to obtain your own washer/dryer and when you move out, you have to get rid of it or take it with you. Our connections were upstairs so lugging those machines up and down was not fun.
We didn't have a fence, they are willing to put up a fence, but we had to pay for it to be put up AND pay extra monthly because the apartment becomes a fenced option. We thought this was unfair. If they paid to put up the fence and charged us monthly or had us pay to put up the fence and not charged us monthly would have been fair. After we move out, it becomes a fenced option which they charge extra for.
Our dishwasher worked but it didn't wash dishes.
When we moved in, the house was not as clean as we expected; in fact, I think it was cleaner when we left. We read that there will be a blacklight inspection so when we moved in, we did a blacklight inspection ourselves and wrote EVERYTHING down in our move-in sheet. So when you move out, they compare what's on the sheet to what they found so we were able to get all our deposit back.
Even with some of the issues, it was a nice place to live. My daughter felt safe while playing in the playground with her friends. I would live here again if I were to come back to Fairbanks.
