I lived at Wessel Court for a year, and I would have gladly continued to live there if job circumstances hadn't forced a move.
It's not perfect -- as I've said, no apartment complex is! -- but the positives outweigh the negatives as far as I'm concerned. I'd really give it 3.5 stars.
Pros: Spacious, good amount of closet space, eat-in kitchen, relatively affordable. Great office staff, nicely landscaped grounds. Nice pool. Very nice main building with exercise room, flat-panel tv, party room, etc. Staff is prompt at making repairs or addressing concerns. Never had any problem parking. Extra storage unit included with each apartment.
Cons: Shared laundry room (one per six apartments, so not too bad); first-floor apartments don't have a front balcony and stay fairly dark since they're halfway underground; the sliding doors in the bedroom make no sense and made me feel a little uneasy. (Also, I couldn't leave a window open at night -- it was just a big glass sliding door.) No dishwasher or garbage disposal.
Wessel Court doesn't offer all of the amenities that some Tri-Cities complexes do. However, the ones they do have are pretty nice, and I really liked living there on the whole. So I recommend it, especially if you're on your own or just starting out. (And whatever you do, stay far far away from Fox Run.) read more
