When I was looking for places, I had ApartmentRatings.com open alongside Padmapper, which is awesome. I love that website. But I digress!
If I found a spot that sounded good, I checked apartmentratings.com, and often, I discovered cockroaches, paper thin walls, parking lot parties, safety issues, and a plethora of other horrors, hiding behind possible homes.
At one point, I finally ended up sorting by ratings in apartmentratings.com, and that's how I found Three Willows. Last I checked, they still had a 100% rating, which I admit, made me a little suspicious. But I have to say that it has been pretty good.
The complex is quiet at night, and I can hear my neighbors if they go up and down the stairs next to me, or when they close their front doors, oh, and I can hear TV coming through the wall a bit in the living room, but mostly, I don't know a darn thing about what's going on next door, and I trust the same is true for them. My home feels very peaceful and quiet.
There have been maintenance issues here and there, but they are quickly dealt with--successfully! One of the apartment managers lives in the complex, and she takes no sass. Things run pretty darn well around there.
I've had one spider cricket (or whatever they're called), and there have been a few other bugs. Mostly, I find them dead. When I first moved in, I bombed the place with Raid foggers. I don't do well with spiders. I've found a few here and there, but only one has been alive! And he didn't last long.
Neighbors seem real nice, and there are cats in windows and dogs on leashes. It's a good place. I'm pretty happy here. read more
