We lived here for almost 2 years, it wasn't horrible at first, and Jenn, the property manager was really nice, and even by the time we left, she was nice. The problems that I had were mainly the neighbors and the bills. We had to call the police more than once for our neighbors blaring music at 1AM, but they never got in trouble for it with the apartment complex. The hallway almost always smelled like weed, I don't think the people in the apartments around us were very clean, because we always found a couple of dead roaches when we vacuumed, and the tipping point for us was when my husband's catalytic converter was ripped out from under his suv. Now, when we moved out, we were told that our apartment looked wonderful, and the only thing we would be charged for was the usual $30 carpet cleaning fee. So out of our $300 deposit, I expected to get around $200 back, since we also would have to pay for our last month's utilities. Somehow, they made it to where we had to pay for 2 months of utilities, which we weren't even living there the last 3 months of our lease, just paying the rent so as to not break the contract. Somehow our utilities made it to where we only received $58 total back. I tried calling the office at least 10 times, either no one would answer, or some woman I had never met would, and took my name and number and said I would be called back, but I never was. I also called the company that owns this property, and they also promised me a call back, yet again, didn't happen. So my suggestion would be to find somewhere else to rent, yeah they're cheap, but they charge an enormous amount for utilities, even when you don't use them, and it isn't worth the frustration.

First, the positives. Rent was affordable and, throughout most of the apartment we had, it kept a decent temperature with no leaks or drafts. Now, for the bad stuff, which was a lot. First, the front office was ineffective in preventing residents from doing things against the rules. Often we complained about noise, or pot smokers, or parking issues, or propping the door open. The buildings have an interior shared hallway and the door outside is locked, which all residents get keys to. Often, residents in our building would prop the door open or stuff trash down the hole to keep it from closing completely or locking. We lodged several complaints and the best the office did was put up signs, which got torn down and ignored. We had to call the police twice for noise issues. Eventually, those residents did get evicted, but there were plenty of other noisy residents. Often you could get the smell of pot in the hallways, which is supposed to be against the terms of the lease, but the front office did nothing about it. There were often gang members smoking and hanging out in the parking lot (the vehicle proudly displayed Krips colors, so I'm pretty certain they were gang related). Drug dealers, pimps, and hookers were also not uncommon sights in the parking lot. Local neighbors would often dump trash in our bin, which is illegal and posted that the bins are for residents only. All ignored by the front office. And lastly, but certainly not the least, the water pressure in our building was horrible. Often, water would just dribble from the shower when you try to use it and the kitchen sink never had any kind of pressure. I personally heard water dripping in the walls whenever neighbors would use their sinks, toilets, and showers. And the front desk had the gall to charge 60-70 a month for water from this terrible plumbing. Find a different place to live.
