Review for El Norte Villas Apartments

The only real issues I've run into is that since I live in a unit near the pool, the young drinking crazies get loud at night, and its worse in the summer. But I'm sure thats everywhere. The pool is NOT heated either, so I never use it. That sucks. And the jacuzzi is usally gross so I stray away from that too for the most part. The fitness center is slowly coming along though. They have new stuff in there every few months it seems like. And its airconditioned so thats good. About that, I'll never rent a place without central heat and air again, thats for sure. The wall unit in the living only cools the living room, so my bedroom melts in the summer, that part is really awful. They definitely keep the landscape nice, in fact, its a little bothersome how much. I just wish they would start the leaf blowers and weed choppers a little later in the morning. I hate the "security gates". They hardly ever work right and I feel that they are more trouble than they are worth. Even the walk through ones are pointless, I see people jump over them all the time. I hate that they got rid of our security partol, even though all they did was drive through the parking lot every few hours a night...at least it was something. now we have nothing. And I've made several comments about the need for more outside lighting at night and its still not ample. On a good note, I've hardly ever been able to hear anything coming from any of my neighbor's units, and I have three connected to me, so thats three chances. So we must have thick walls. Thank GOD because that would be a deal breaker for me. Maintenance have always done a good and timely job and management has also always been helpful. The office will also sign for packages and/or allow packages to be left there if you are not home when a delivery attempt is made. That had come in extremely helpful for me, since my schedule is so sporadic. Overall, I like living here, but you are always going to have issues anywhere you go.
