Would be 4 stars but for the circumstances. I've lived here as a renter for nearly 3 years now. I like my condo/apartment (not sure what these are). My unit isn't as modern as some of the neighbors but hey, everything works and as I recently experienced that the property owner is proactive when something doesn't work and fixes come quick. For nearly 3 years I've lived in relative harmony with the neighbors. A quick wave, a smile. No friendships but hey I work long hours. Good so far? But there's this.
But almost 2 years ago one particular set of neighbors moved in and well. What can I say, they have a bad life. They play our their bad life for all their neighbors to see and hear. I have seen most of them panhandling around town so I assume they are unemployed. And I don't care that they panhandle. I guess if it pays the rent they know something I don't. But with that lifestyle comes some stereotypical behaviors. Drinking, loud conversations, screaming arguments, adult crying which is creepier then children crying, pet's that aren't trained. Cop's have shown up by the multitude and on many occasions. The homes around them are families in some cases with small children. Their adjacent unit remains vacant as renters of this place quickly realize what they moved next too and break lease. As a child of a big city, who saw stuff like this and worse growing up in such a city, although I'm fine, I just assume never to have seen it. I feel terrible these families are subjected to this set of wild men/women neighbors. If these people mellowed out this neighborhood would be 4 stars but anyplace that has such a group has lost it's sense of peacefulness and therefor only gets 2 stars. read more
