I lived at Mr. Watermolen's apartments (Kosol Park) for 3 years 2015 to 2018 so here's my pro and con list. PRO: Mr. Watermolen is loyal to the tenants that stay for a long time by not raising the rent.(his way of rewarding long term tenants). The apartment I had was very quiet and the common areas (entry, halls, laundry) were kept clean. The buildings all have a central located coin laundry on the 1st floor and the machines are a very fair price per load. A garage with power opener is not
...attached but very close to the apartment. Snow plowing and salting (when over 2 inch) was done the same day. The heating system does a good job even when its below zero outside(the cost is included in the rent, nothing is free in life). The in-the-wall A/C unit works good however I just put it on low and let it run all summer, (most of my electric bills were $60 to $70 per month). When I moved out my security deposit was returned in full and on time( I did vacuum, clean and scrub for a full day) thank-you Mr. Watermolen.
CON: The biggest negative thing for me was flooring, if the place needs new carpet or laminate flooring make sure its done BEFORE you move in. Don't expect high quality carpet to be installed they will put in the thin lightweight cheap stuff.(good carpet is expensive). Built in the late 1990's the units are dated builder grade so don't expect any high end appliances cabinets or counter tops. My opinion: Over all a good place to live if you are a senior on a fixed budget(many seniors live here) or if you are just starting out in life a good place to start. As I moved up the employment ladder and I could afford better and it was time for me to move.
