I've lived at the metropolitan at runnemede for about a year now. And I have nothing but nice things to say. There have been a few issues, but it had nothing to do with the great staff, location, or anything else about the complex itself. Our apartment is quite spacious. We opted for a two bedroom. Everything is well kept, with nice modern fixtures. we are also really happy that the walls are not stark white. they are really nice beige color, this really stands out apart from other complexes. we love that this complex is in the middle of a regular neighborhood, it's wonderful to go for walks and feel completely safe. everybody at the office is very pleasant and easy to deal with. very professional. there's a nice little gym, it is never crowded and always clean. this location is amazing. Very close to all sorts of shopping, parks, dog parks if you happen to have a pet, very nice places to eat, and yet it still retains a certain seclusion. as with any place residents can sometimes be an issue, but I do feel that all of the people in this neighborhood are generally easy to deal with. (Save a few I suppose) I would say that you definitely get more bang for your buck living here. There is no swimming pool, but no sweat. They do have really nice communal barbecue grills in the common areas with picnic tables. this is a fantastic amenity. they do not have central air but the air conditioners that they have in most units are mounted nice and high so they don't get in the way. I know in some units there lower, but in ours they are near the ceiling. The electric bill can get a little bit high in the summer months, but it's not too bad. they are pet friendly, with additional pet rent, which is expected. and actually in some cases welcome. I wouldn't want to live next to people who hoard animals! pets are residents too! Lol. speaking for a two bedroom, the living room is enormous! the master bedroom is also enormous and has a walk in closet, as well as another large closet. the second bedroom is smaller but also has quite a sizable closet. Our kitchen has a dishwasher, though we don't use it for anything but storage, we have a nice big fridge with a freezer on top that has an ice maker, and a decent oven with a stove top Electric. we are in an upstairs unit, and the balcony is big enough for a table and two chairs with enough room around it to be comfortable. although the downstairs units have more room for furniture and spreading out. The maintenance people here are very nice, prompt, and attentive. I would absolutely recommend moving here. We are super pleased and plan on living here until we can afford a house of our own. read more
