West Lake Park Apartments

think the rent would be a bit cheaper. - The gym should be better maintained. During the tour, I was led to believe that the open area fitness room could be used for DVD fitness. While you have the floor space, you can't play a DVD on the TV - the phrasing they used in the tour was misleading. - I wish they paid more attention to security. The complex is gated so cars will follow others in – can’t help that. The coded pedestrian gate at the back of the complex was broken for an unsettling amount of time and the handle falls off very easily. There’s a security guard that cruises around in a truck sometimes but I’m not sure how much of a deterrent he is - his truck doesn’t indicate that he’s security. - Guest parking is shrinking. More people are using their garages for storage and parking in the open spots. This takes spaces from residents who don't have garages and guests. Other complexes I've lived in have been better about enforcing that residents with garages must park their car in the garage. My one major complaint is the fact that they charge for standard maintenance. In the ten years I’ve been a renter, I've never lived in an apartment that charged you for upkeep of their property outside of rent. I was shocked to be charged $10 for a light bulb replacement. If I had known this would be the case, I probably would not have signed a lease here. I think it's ridiculous considering the monthly rent is already so high. Some people told me this is normal, but none of my past complexes have charged me for this. I have seen quite a few people moving out. I'm not sure if the rent was too high to renew or if they were unhappy with the complex. It's an unusually large number of move-outs in a short period of time in my experience. It's a nice complex but I'm not sure yet if I'm going to renew when my lease is up later this year. Having to pay for maintenance on top of a high monthly rent is a huge deal to me - those costs add up very quickly.

the same floor plan is available in another building why it wouldn't also be on promotion. Disappointed.
