The Pros and Cons:
Centerville does seem to offer much for your dollar in terms of including many of the utilities as one might see in a NYC apartment complex. (Designed for those over 55). Most everyone of the neighbors met thus far have been polite and friendly, some less so. Small dogs and Cats are welcomed. Initially this was a first choice for downsizing from a single family home, the photographs perhaps overstated how large and where the buildings were located on the site. Actually set behind what appears to be a form of nursing home on the far back of the property. Opened assigned parking, limited Guest Parking and an outdoor designated smoking area. Although the residents are supposed to be non-smoking within the buildings. Building "A" didn't seem to get the memo. Units are a bit inconsistent some with balconies and others without, parking spaces are not conforming to consistent sizes throughout. There really aren't a whole assortment of amusements here. A common room that remains un-used most of the time and although units have washer dryer hook-ups not all have the actual equipment inside you must supply your own unless you inherit someone else's left behind from a previous renter.
I think i would have preferred a tour of the site which doesn't offer walking trails or any Amenities to speak of. It would have also been preferable to have some sort of welcome packet to learn about the area: Places of Worship, Transportation, Cuisine, Shopping, Entertainment, etc. Where do you register your dog or cat, license, voting registration??? ( I won't do free consulting here for their better Angels ).
PS - Don't forget to get your rental insurance regardless...! read more
