Started out fantastic almost 4 years ago, but community has gone downhill with a steady increase in crime and residents that leave garbage out, fail to clean-up after their dogs and ignore no-smoking (weed) rules.
There's major train track construction happening right behind the townhouses that sometimes starts at 7:00AM and ends at 6:00PM; the noise has meant I cannot work from home and most of the walls have cracked from the reverberations. That's not Avalon's fault, but it's impacted those of us who live here.
On the plus side, the maintenance crew here is top-notch and service calls are answered quickly and courteously via an app. Vinnie is also great, but sometimes seems to lack the authority to make major decisions that are left to corporate.
Rent increases have averaged 9-10% in last two years, which is a pretty big shock once that increase totals more than $500 per month. I asked about changing carpet as it was used when I moved in 3+ years ago, but to no avail. I'm moving out, but the new tenants will probably get new carpeting and the posted rate on the website is less than my proposed renewal rate. This as the Nassau County Sheriff supervised an eviction a few doors down from me on Monday. Go figure.
There are two brand new luxury apartment buildings opening within 1/2 mile of here, so folks will have some more options and Avalon will have a chance to regain some of its lost mojo.
