North Pointe Apartments

will have an unassigned parking spot you share between two buildings. For an additional $40.00 on rent you can have an assigned manual parking garage, which in winter is a real time saver. Cons Let me start with its hours of operations for the main office, their hours of operations are 930-6 Monday through Friday. This collided with my work hours as I go to work from 9-6 Monday through Friday as well. In addition to their limited hours of operation, their main office is also the only place where you can purchase special tokens if you wanted to do laundry onsite. This forced me to run my laundry to a Laundromat which is indeed a hassle to lug all your laundry to another site. Their heating system is also outdated! Where most apartments have a thermostat to control the heat for the unit, you have individual heating systems for each room. You have to turn a knob at the base of the device to a certain degree which is just a shot in the dark if you want heat in your room. On that note, they always generate heat regardless of its “power off” position. During the summer, you are forced to leave your windows open which has little effect on relieving you from possibly dying from a heat stroke. You can use fans, which has little to no effect when you want to cool off quickly. Their parking situation isn’t as bad, however you will see a lot of cars that are NOT in use and will sit there for months at a time. Upon receiving your permit for parking, it states that your car must be drivable and used. So there are a lot of wasted spaces on vehicles that aren’t being used. When winter hits, their snow maintenance is minimal. The main parking lot isn’t as bad, but their street parking never got maintained for weeks at a time, causing little snow hills where your car can have some issues trying to park. They do maintain the sidewalks, but when you are parked on the street winter time you have to climb over a little hill to get to the side walk.
