December 7, 2022 - Review from Apartments.com
When entering the property note the tattered American flag that isn't lowered or replaced. The "convenient" location is a LOCKED gate (Carisbrooke) to the stores and restaurants abutting the property. On-site maintenance is one man, shared with multiple locations and lives over an hour away. And, don't call after 4:00 - it's never an emergency. Heat is shut off April 1st, air is shut off on September 1st-weather isn't a factor-it goes by the maintenance schedule.
Cleaning (100+ unit ...
building) is done by one person Mon-Fri. You will usually walk into 3 "wet floor" signs (residents move them for walkers, wheelchairs, carts, etc.) Common halls are vacuumed once a month, glass doors and elevators cleaned once a week (longer during staff vacation) and trash at entries are overflowing by Saturday. Guaranteed trash on Mon in the halls, elevators and entry ways. The property windows have NEVER been washed.
The fitness center is a room, with restrictive posted hours and a limit of 2 people. There is no restroom or access to water. The TV is not connected to service.
The resident function room and the common bathrooms are locked, the game room and library have been removed. Picnic space? maybe where the dogs poop or in the homeless encampment in the tree line.
An additional fee will get you under cover parking, or you can park M-F after 5:00 p.m. and all weekend for free. If you pay for a spot, it's your job to ensure someone in your spot is towed (that is not a maintenance call or an emergency). The manager does park closest (because they can easily slip out the back door to avoid the residents)-that spot is not available to lease.
The building is externally secure, but, any notice from the property manager (oddly more than a couple times a month) will be taped on your door. Its an easy way to tell which apartment has no one home. The security cameras are used against you ie.- "break down the box," you're on camera" "only 13 gallon trash bags", etc.)
Electric rates are outrageous because the windows need replacement - when the wind blows in the winter months, so do your curtains. The individual furnaces and vents are not properly cleaned (or I should say never), however the filter is changed twice a year.
There is no community because everything is locked after office hours, Essentially, you walk in, go to your room and pay adult prices while being treated as an impoverished child!
