    • Over priced apartments

      September 1, 2016
      These apartments are over priced for what you get. There's no management on site and they are difficult to get ahold of; when you call you almost always have to leave a message and wait who knows how long for them to call back. There's no onsite maintenance; you have to wait until the management is able to schedule an outside contractor to come in if you have repairs. Snow removal in the winter is horrible; they have a company come in to plow but they wait so long that by the time they plow the ...
      snow is packed on the road and then they'll plow your car in, one of our neighbors had a pile of snow taller than his car all around his car that we helped him shovel out. There's no amenities on the property; such as a gym or pool.
