Been here two years plus, because moving is not an option presently. Photos and publicity look great. Here is what you can expect: The apartment complex is huge, and has never had enough management staff or maintenance to keep the place looking good. The office staff is friendly, but they don't seem at all invested in making necessary improvements. I've complained about wide and deep potholes in the parking areas since soon after moving in, and the response is always "We're working on it", but with no action at all. All last summer, winter and fall there was a jungle of weeds in the area outside our apartment's patio, and I submitted pictures of the unsightly mess to the office, asking to have it attended to. The office told me they didn't have enough maintenance crew to get rid of the weeds, and suggested that I contact the owners' home office. Finally some landscapers did come about six weeks ago to clear out those weeds and a lot of other deadwood from shrubbery that had been neglected for over two years.
Every large patch of grass throughout the complex is covered with dog poop. There are waste bag dispensers around, but the one by our building was empty for nearly a year, and then, when the whole complex underwent an unnecessary outside paint job--sloppy and already fading away in some places-- that dispenser and the one at the other wing of this building were removed. Maintenance told me it was not replaced after the paint job because it was too much trouble for the too-small crew to replace bags. Out of all the people who own dogs at the compex, precious few of us comply with the apartment ruling, specified in the lease, to clean up after dogs. The office sends out emails to all the residents threatening fines, but nothing else is done to clean up the mess. I feel sorry for any family with children. The grass is too filthy with dog feces to walk on, let alone play on.
I could go on and on, but I will stop here, except to mention lousy cell phone service, way too many cars, with no assigned parking places, and a Byzantine rent/utility payment system. Huge disappointment of a place! read more
