The apartments are in good shape,/
Some of the people that live here aren't that great though. People with dogs don't pick up after them. The dogs will also bark ferociously at the smallest sound you make. Sorry that I set your untrained dog into a frenzy just by walking up the stairs. You can hear everyone's conversation that they have outside the building (especially when they're talking about you...they LOVE to gossip!) There's also these kids that live in the area that like to walk through
...the property and cause trouble. At first we thought this was a welcoming area, and it is, as long as you don't get in anyone's way or do any of the little things that they don't like.
Parking seems to be a problem. There's plenty of parking but everyone fights for the spots up front because there isn't assigned parking. In the winter, they don't plow the parking lot fully, and the neighbors all fight about spots that they shovel out. There is a guy that lives in my building that will literally attach a chain to his truck and rip your car out of a spot he shoveled. And he will not care if he does damage to your vehicle.
Maintenance is pretty slow to respond and very unhelpful. You're better off trying to fix simple stuff yourself. They're pretty useless as far as I'm concerned. Doubt that will ever change. This place is all about cheap repairs. The company that owns the building is large...they own several properties. They don't really care about you or what you have to say they just want their money and want to run their business as cheaply as possible. The property manager is nice, but is totally useless when it comes to any of the issues with some of the neighbors. She'll send a notice to everyone about certain complaints, but if the situation doesn't get resolved, she doesn't do anything further than that.
So if you like a nice apartment with gossipy neighbors that get VERY upset over the dumbest little things, dogs barking all day, and pretty much nobody to complain to about any technical issues you have other than your gossipy neighbors, this place is for you. We will be moving to Frederick next year.
