Summary: This complex is a decent option as far as non-luxury apartments go, but there is nothing unique or extremely desirable about this complex unless you want to be a two minute drive from a Wegmans or LA Fitness. In the winter time I appreciate being so close to the gym. That said, the benefits you get from being close to things create the cons you might want to avoid - high and constant noise pollution, you can smell the exhaust walking in the back of the complex, and easy access to complex from strangers. Someone could park at Lowe's, walk straight into the back of the complex, take your package or license plate, and leave and you'd never know.
Pros:
- Window size and natural light. We live on a second floor, and it's always bright which goes a long way
- Washer/Dryer/Disposal all in apartment
- Friendly maintenance and management
- Large grounds to walk. You can get a good walk in if you go all the way around
- Decent soundproofing on sides of apartment. Outside of tub (see Cons) and some alarm clocks occasionally, you rarely hear your neighbors
- You are super close to the gym, grocery stores, movie theaters, etc. which is really convenient
- Amazon hub so your Amazon packages don't get stolen
Cons:
- Not gated and right next to the main roads, highways, and a major store - our plates were stolen not even two nights into moving here. There is no security at all
- No assigned parking, not enough parking - if you have to park your car after 6-7PM it most likely won't be near your apartment, especially on weekends
- Fiberglass tubs that creak super loud, you will hear your upstairs neighbor in the shower every morning
- High noise pollution. You are so close to the main roads and highways that you will hear traffic from your apartment or while walking all day long. Not to mention you are directly connected to Lowe's, so massive semis are constantly driving through the area
- Apartment furnishings are outdated (e.g. really old tubs, fridges, carpets, no handles/knobs on any drawer or cabinets)
- As a dog owner, the grass doesn't get cut short enough in the spring/summer which makes it near impossible to pick up after your dog
- Also as a dog owner, the waste bins are not changed frequently enough. It's very common that bins are overflowing and in the summer you can smell it from far away which is really gross read more
