The website pictures are always better than it really is.. The apartment has covered parking for free, basic cable, a pool, close proximity to the laundry room and enclosed common area not seen to public, central air, and friendly staff. The staff address your concerns in a timely fashion. Pest control is done, they have decent sized patios or balconies. Those are the pros to the apartment but there are drawbacks to this place.
There is a common hallway enterance for 4 families (atleast your not climbing stairs outdoors), the apartments are not updated and show their age (old carpets, lots of spackling, wallpaper in some area and much more). If you are on the bottom floor you can hear the neighbors upstairs walking, fighting, anything above talking voice. The pool is not up to date its functioning but its usually cloudy and the skimmers doesnt clean the pool too well. They atleast leave the manual skimmer out to get the bugs out yourself. No patio furniture at the poolside, laundry room will cost you 75 cents to a dollar per load but too many bugs in the laundry room no screens on the windows. The maintence man does a half ass job and you see him talking more than he does his job. You have to weigh your reasons for living here other apt choices but some of these things are worse at other apartments or too many shady characters at the other apartments.
First floor apartments also havea nice private patios great for storing a motorcycle or bicycle etc and sliding glass doors to the front and back is is positive for cross ventilation. Good and bad here. read more
