The Spectrum Apartments

another emergency water shut up, for today...the 2nd or 3rd one this year and we are only 8 days into the new year. My car was damaged in the parking lot by paint from their shoddy workmanship and had to basically threaten people to have the situation rectified. The leasing office is open Mon-Fri(but almost always closed at least one of those days and occasionally closes early for whatever reason). The answering service that almost always answers(there's hardly ever anybody in the leasing office) doesn't do a good job of relaying messages so you have to call to check up on work orders that may or may not have been received. Bedrooms are not as spacious as others have claimed but they're no prison cells. Once the lease is up, we will be running from this place. Not the worst residence I've had but nowhere near the best.

already knew who we were because it was part of his training. The fact that they make the effort to please a two year old (and everyone else) is amazing. *Super quiet. Outside of the occasional car alarm I hardly ever hear my neighbors. Especially in the bedrooms. This building is older and is solid brick and concrete so it is hard to hear anyone else. Plus it is tucked in a quiet neighborhood. *Clean We have been here for 4 years and have only had a spider or two and a few flies if we leave the patio door open. No rodents or roaches at all. *Friendly neighbors- Many of my neighbors have been here as long as I have and I know many of them (on my floor and others) A few have even become good friends that I can call on when I need eggs or sugar. *Huge rooms!! In this area square footage is important we are in a two bed room and both rooms are really large. The master closet could be another room it is so big! *Parking is never an issue, there is always a spot *We have a pool! Cons *While the staff and neighbors are 100% kid friendly the grounds are not. I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to have have some sort of playground or kid running area. The only open space is in the pool area and that is only open during the summer. * The pool also does not have a kid pool or really any area for kids to play. It has no stairs and only ladders, 3 feet is the shallowest it gets which for anyone under 5 is too deep. * guest parking is not a thing so when I have people visiting they have to park on the street which depending on the time of day can be tricky. *Small elevators? Okay I am really reaching here to come up with more cons. The elevators are on the smaller side so it is hard to get larger pieces of furniture in it and you have to use the stairs.
