People fighting over limited parking spaces and trash overfill
October 1, 2024 - Review from Apartments.com
I do not recommend living here. I moved here and I am immediately leaving due to the major issues going on at this property. I am not sure if there are multiple families living in one unit or if the property did not accomodate the parking spaces for the amount of units here, but the parking space is a nightmare! Around 6pm or sooner (depending on the day) you will not be able to find a parking space unless you are able to reserve their limited reserved space (both carport and non-carport is ...
reserved). It is a major issue with people speeding around looking for parking spaces and fighting over a space. I have never lived in a property with such poor parking (even in Seattle!). Coming home from work, needing to drop by the grocery, or briefly leaving your home will result in someone taking your spot (unless you get a chance to reserve a space, but reserved spaces will be far from your home...).
On top of the parking issue, they have exorbitant amendment fees and valet trash fees. The valet trash has been coming on and off (trash everywhere) and you have to email them, but they will not respond if you ask for reimbursement for all they days they don't ever come to pick-up. The actual dumpster locations consistently are filled with piles of trash and not a week goes by where I don't see someone's furniture trash piling over. You cannot access the trash location unless you walk over mounds of trash so you have to try to throw it in. Everyone just starts throwing trash over a mound that is not even in the dumpster. Every night, I see 4-5 raccoons roaming the property because there is just so much open trash.
The large windows and slide door become a pain to manage (everyone sees inside your home unless you want ot pay for all the shading and fixing the old blinds). The large windows are hard to open and close (frequently gets stuck even with oil). The blinds on the slide door are so old they break off with the normal movement. The insulation (if any) is poor and you can hear everything. When it rains, pine cones and other debris are scattered throughout the property and I've fallen. It makes me wonder if they clean out the gutters. I also noticed that there are openinges on the roof where birds and other animals enter.
I am sad to say this place is terrible. The cabana looks nice, but is it worth parking on the street cause you cannot find a parking space after dropping by the grocery store? No.
