Overall a good experience, with a few big exceptions. POSITIVES: Gorgeous area, well maintained property, nice neighbors for the most part, quick repairs upon request, sunny & nice apartment, free movie rental, beautiful pool & jacuzzis (tho I'm working such long hours to pay my already high rent, $911, that I haven't even had ONE opportunity to swim :( & it closes in 2 days. & so far, the managers have been nice & I know they work hard. NEGATIVES: Rent increase & oddly high PGE** electric the
...first few months (I & my neighbors who lived below me both experienced this, & it's part of why they moved out recently) is a HUGE deterrant for the average income. I just learned they'll raise my rent in 6 weeks-by around $103 to a WHOPPING $284/month extra!!! (happy birthday to me tomorrow :( ) ...serious OUCH, the amount depends on how long I need to go past my current 1 year lease. I knew it could increase by as much as $100 a month, tho told them when I rented, if it did, I'd need to move. So I hoped they'd take into consideration I've kept things clean & am a quiet renter, working hard on a smaller income for schools & at risk foster teens. ANOTHER NEG: When I was locked out of my apartment one nite recently, I was dismayed & stressed to find they no longer provide a key onsite. I was shuffled to a huge call center out of state and told to go get myself a locksmith (at 11 at night? How?) On my tiny budget & I doubt a locksmith would be available, & I couldn't call anyways-my phone was dying. Had I not managed to crawl in thru my own window, I would have spent the nite in my car... ***January etc, PGE was twice what it is lately (even tho I've had an a.c. & multiple fans running nonstop lately,) very odd, as I was barely home in January etc, used zero heat except a small energy saving oil heater (supposed to run $12/month,) & did superfast 3 minute showers, laundry elsewhere & only 1 load of dishes. And no tv, computer, or microwave to use electricity. I had PGE come out tho the issue was never resolved. Not sure what that was about. I am thankful tho for my beautiful views. Just sad to have to move yet again :(
