I've been living here for 8 months now, I just keep counting the days for my lease to end. When I moved in the apartment, it was not renovated as they claim in their ad, noisy floor, scratches on the wall, loose closet doors and so on.... incompetent maintenance (they take care of some minor maintenance on time) in last two and half months I have been complaining bout rats and roaches nobody listens, so far I've submitted 4 work orders for pest control as well as rats, I was lucky enough that
...once someone from contractor showed up, when we told him about rats, he said let me go and grab some supplies, I will be back guess what, it has been a month that we never saw him again.. cooling system broke down two a matter of 5 days, I don't wanna talk about the leasing office staff, I sure you have read a lot about them. Let me write down some pros and cons of this property:
Pros:
1. More than enough parking spots
2. Well maintained lawn
3. Convenient and close to shop and restaurant.
3. Close to bus stop.
Cons:
1. Leasing office staff, keep your fingers crossed for them to be in good mood when you want to talk to them.
2. Very Very very very very very unresponsive maintenance (I have to admit that in some occasion they responded quickly for non-pest control maintenance)
3. Noisy floor, (even if you walk like cat at night you are welcomed by boom boom sound on the wall by down stairs tenant)
4. You are gonna have a lot of friendly rats and roaches and some other strange creatures that you have seen in your life.
5. You get better hunter, hunting roaches very day.
6. Regular water shut downs.
7. You can tell what your neighbors cooking for their lunch and dinner by smelling their food through ventilation system.
8. Predetermined date to turn on cooling system; weather itself doesn't matter. No mater how hot it is but they wait for May 15th to switch on they cooling system, we experience 90 hot weather without cooling, YOU DON'T WANNA experience it, it is badddddddd.
9. Cooling system break down every now and then. this weeks it broke down twice.
10. For most part stairwell stinky and very old, there is a small exhaust fan in the ceiling but it doesn't help.
I have a lot more to tell but I have plenty of time to write down, but you might not have time for it. I badly regret my decision moving in here, so do yourself a favor and look for a better place and make sure to take reviews serious (what I did not do while looking for apartment).
