Charming waterfront apartments in the Madison Park neighborhood. Big grassy spaces.
Cons (a running list):
1. Parking is impossible if you need it on weekends, or anytime after 5ish.
2. Paper thin walls. You can hear your neighbors clearing their throats, receiving phone calls, and kinky Sunday morning habits.
3. Ancient appliances in poor repair.
4. Electricity is limited-if you try to use your coffee maker and toaster at the same time, you'll blow a fuse.
5. Management of the property is not great. Things are in poor repair, and there is a lack of communication from management. They are rude, and generally disliked by tenants due to how they treat folks.
6. Basements get flooded in the rain leaving moldy smells for days after wafting up the stairs.
7. No dishwashers.
8. Bathroom has no proper electricity socket - if you need to dry your hair, charge an electric tooth brush, you can find the outlet on the light outlet near the ceiling -- above the medicine cabinet.
9. Plumbing is terrible- they are constantly having to have it fixed--and charge tenants for it.
10. Again, you can't use more than one item in the kitchen at once - or have a portable AC in the other room, prepare not to use any thing in the kitchen or blow a fuse.
11. Angry emails from management for all sorts of random things that don't warrant anger. Especially to paying tenants. See example emails.
12. Management goes out of way to feed wildlife- they literally feed the raccoon family's every year, food bowls and all. Trash isn't covered so it further brings in rodents and raccoons.
13. You are forced to split gas, trash, sewer and costs with other tenants--so even if you aren't using your heat, your cost go up because your neighbors doesn't know how to conserve. read more
