Review for Shelton Park Apartments

I lived at Shelton Park for a little over a year and my experience there was damn near awful! For one our apartment looked busted! The handy man was never handy! And if you want any kind of service then you need to learn how to kiss ass with the manager. Our air conditioning broke our first month there and thus our electric bill was sky high because the maitnence man did not come for 3 days! Our door came off the hinges and we had to fix it ourselves also it didn't shut properly. You pay for pest control but in the year that I lived there I never once had my apartmen sprayed despite telling the manager that I was having a problem with spiders. Also the pool is gross! The few times that I ventured into it there was weave at the bottom. The lawn service always blew the grass onto my porch and anytime there was any kind of construction my electricity was always used because I had an exterior socket... the management never once offered to cover the extra cost on our utility bill. Also for the first six months my ceiling had a leak and it was very obvious that there was MOLD but of course the management took their sweet time to fix it and even so the mold was not taken care of! As for security... if you live up front you should be okay but the back is where it all happens... drug dealers, constant cops, and the occasional drive by shooting (no joke). Oh and if you have any friends in a wheel chair you can forget them ever being able to visit you because there is practically no handicap access to the side walks from the parking lot! this place is awful... it may be cheap but it's not worth the hassle! Oh it is also not kid friendly... no swings or play ground equipment no basketball court nothing for the kids to do at all.
