A few good, but more bad experiences living at this complex. I would advise you to consider renting somewhere else. Rent is comparable to a lot of other complexes in the area.
THE GOOD:
-Beautiful pool and outdoor spaces.
-Amazing porches for people that like to be outside.
-Ample parking by our building #18 (although, doesn't look to be the same for all buildings).
-Good personal experiences with maintenance staff.
THE BAD:
-We found when we ended our lease there is a REQUIRED $40 carpet cleaning fee. Be aware as its not outlined anywhere in your lease agreements.
-WALLS ARE THIN. You will be able to hear full conversations in the apartments below/next to you. Terrible insulation results in higher energy costs as well.
- Speaking of walls, be aware that a number of the walls are designed at a weird angle. It looked odd placing anything against these walls and aesthetically was not pleasing.
-Regular roach infestations. There is pest control, but it's a pain to see a month after spraying the roaches will return. Be prepared for the need to spray in your unit every couple of months.
-Cheap fixtures. When we moved in, the apartments were only a few years old, yet the doors were falling off cabinets, inside cabinets stain and scratch easily, discoloration of grout between tiles, fans in bathroom are loud and inefficient (which is also the reason why mold will grow very easily in the bathroom), etc.
-There is NO security. You may think that having a gate surrounding the building would add to the security, until you realize that most, if not all, gates are broken and people will regularly wait for a resident to open the driving gate and follow you in. Don't get me started on the of tenants that rent out their units to other people even though you are not allowed to do this.
-A number of people that live in this complex are extremely inconsiderate. This includes people throwing trash into the ponds (I've seen it happen more times than I can count), trash left in the pool area, workout room a MESS as people don't put their stuff away, smokers/cigarette buds everywhere, kids running around unsupervised which is especially irritating when they raid the small "coffee bar" and use up everything and leave their trash everywhere, etc.
-"Coffee bar" is a single machine that only operates 4-5 hours a day and is regularly out of coffee, cups, creamer, etc.
-Breezeways are dirty and regularly smell of trash
-Be prepared if you live facing the middle school, the AC fan is LOUD and there is some sort of generator that is ridiculously loud and goes off at 5 or 6am EVERY MONDAY. Good luck if you are a light sleeper. read more
