I lived at Windsor Sugarloaf for over 2 years and I'm happy to share my experience.
Staff - the management team (previous and current) are professionals and seem to genuinely care about the residents.
Parking - parking is generally not an issue but if you park between the building and the massive construction your car will be covered with soot every day. Parking lots were repainted last year and is billed monthly (see fees).
Walking - this was one of the main selling points for me. The circular track that surrounded the green space has been destroyed so that an eye center can be built. Now the sidewalk ends in front of our property and creates issues with no sidewalk.
Value - just like many places, the rent here is close to $1800 for a small 650 sq ft apartment. My rent was $500 less when I moved in and was raised every renewal.
Fees - do not rent here without obtaining a fee sheet. You pay a monthly fee to park, to access amenities, for common area upkeep and common area utilities and also for trash pickup. These fees are mandatory and in addition to rent.
Privacy - the layout provides a sense of privacy if you have the right u it on the right floor. Entry level (first floor) is best b/c you're on a slab, no stairs and your deck is raised. Find a unit with a 1 as the 2nd number.
Safety - I felt safe living at Windsor Sugarloaf. The people are friendly and many have dogs. I never had a bad interaction with anyone in over 2 years. I had several packages disappear but believe that was likely a wrong address issue.
Common areas - these are mostly underutilized from what I saw. The pool and gym are immaculate and maintained. The pet area had a complete makeover and is great for socializing dogs.
Not so great - Be prepared for all manner of inspections. I had no idea there would be so many people coming into my apartment on a consistent basis. 3 fire inspections in less than a year, air filter change, light bulb changes, fridge filter change, smoke alarm inspections, dryer inspections etc.... I had people come into my apartment whether I was home or not at least every other month. This may be a concern for people living alone, with pets or if you're used to privacy.
I recommend Windsor Sugarloaf as a family friendly rental option. The construction is an eyesore and the loss of the beautiful green space between the complex and the street is unfortunate and may be a factor for some people. There is an abandoned (yes, abandoned) building next door that used to house seniors with memory issues. No idea what will happen there but pay attention because that building connects to the complex via the back gate and walkway. read more
